“The food was great! The restaurant seems to always get packed during the lunch rush and I can see why! Healthy options for everyone! Alex was super helpful in explaining all the items so as to help me create my bowl. THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE!“

“Great service too! My mouth watered the entire time and was completely satiated and beyond happy with all that we ate! New menu apparently, but I gotta get back before they change it again!“

“Food was great both times I have been here. The double cheese burger was awesome. The meat was juicy and the burger was huge. Their lamb shank was also very good. It was mostly quiet both times I have visited. I would surely recommend this place to others.“

“If you are walking around Prospect Street, I highly recommend Zoya! My husband and I stumbled across this restaurant while trying to satisfy two different cravings, and it did not disappoint.

I ordered a pizza, and coming from a family that owned a pizza shop, I can tell you that their fresh dough and sauce are top-tier. My husband ordered the chicken shawarma with truffle fries, and it is hands-down one of the best shawarmas in San Diego. They include pomegranate seeds in it—if you know, you know!

We also had an amazing appetizer that is an absolute must-try. The server Yousif was fantastic; the owner and staff made sure to check on our table throughout the meal.

They even treated us to a complimentary dessert made by a local French baker! We truly enjoyed this restaurant and will definitely be back.“

“Great young generation owners are totally revamping this restaurant and making it best-in-class. I love the food, the presentation, the vibe and everything these young brothers are doing to make this restaurant a top-of-the-line Lebanese restaurant.“

“Definitely an interesting place to eat. Everyone really nice. Food was reasonably priced, but not very generous portions , service was slow but it was Yeshiva week!
I also would have appreciated if owner would have updated their website or Google maps to reflect that They would be closed on Martin Luther king day.“

“Enjoyed it totally! 2 nd time and will go back again. Love the food and the menu“

“CAVA has become one of my family’s favorite places to eat. Every time we’re nearby, my kids ask if we can stop here—and I completely understand why.

What I really like is the incredible variety. You can build your own meal exactly the way you want it. There are plenty of protein options, different kinds of rice, fresh vegetables, healthy toppings, sauces, and so many natural ingredients to choose from. Whether you’re looking for a high-protein meal, something vegetarian, or just a fresh, healthy lunch, there’s something for everyone.

They also have a great selection of drinks, and everything is served quickly without sacrificing quality. It’s one of the best places if you want a fast meal that still feels fresh and nutritious.

The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the whole experience is easy and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a healthy, delicious, and convenient place to eat, I highly recommend CAVA. Great food, excellent variety, fast service, and a place the whole family enjoys.“

“Delicious döner wraps and amazing baklava.“

“Great food and wonderfully pleasant staff.“

“FOOD IS WONDERFUL AND TASTE AS SUPPOSED TO BE . I WOULD SAY THIS IS BEST PERSIAN RESTAURANT YOU CAN ENJOY THE FOOD . I AM VERY HAPPY THIS IS CLOSE TO MY HOME.“

“Cava is amazing, but this location is really hit or miss. Sometimes, you will come here and be met with kindness, efficiency, and generous portions. Other times, you will be ignored as you stand in line, have your food spilled on the counter and then scooped up by hand and tossed back into your bowl (yes, that happened).“

“Good service, fresh and delicious food, and reasonable price Definitely will be back .“

“great place for romantic day“

“Meat is good. Wrap is good. The sandwich needs to be served on a real, in-store baked pita bread. And they need to give away their t-shirt if you spend over $20. ;-)“

“Thank so much to the owner of Marketplace Grille for buying me a wonderful dinner tonight at the Carmel location. Showed appreciation for sure towards someone who’s still apart of the essential workforce. Best Gyros outside of New Jersey you will ever find.“

“one of my favorite place. the food is so incredible. it's a must if your in Hillcrest. I've never been disappointed.“

“Amazing venue and staff! 5 stars!“

“Melvin and George provided great service!! The food was delicious!“

“Enjoyed it totally! 2 nd time and will go back again. Love the food and the menu“

“excellent service by David, great food and relaxed ambiance“

“Happened to be leaving a game and I turned around and seen this place perfectly located next to Petco Park. When I went inside I was greeted warmly and I asked what the difference was between the regular gyro and the pork belly one. The guy said if I ordered the pork belly the way he makes extra crispy I would love it. Ever since I’ve been back about 3 more times plus I found them near my work in Mira Mesa so that’s four…I’m hooked 🥙“

“Flavorful food served fast! Definitely coming back here :)“

“We so enjoyed our time last night with friends. We will return soon.“

“One of my favorite spots in SD. It is a family owned and operated spot filled with great food and charisma. The owners and staff and incredibly friendly, and the food is made with lots of love. My personal favorites are the breakfast burrito with gyro and the gyro burger. Would recommend!“

“They put us in a windowless back room for Valentine's Day. Every couple in there looked super disappointed when they realized we were in a closed room (converted storage closet) next to the bathrooms. Also, I needed a steak knife to eat my chicken. The other items we ordered were drowning in chunks of raw garlic or syrupy sauce. Overall it was poor dining experience.“

“Super attentive service. From the Hostesses, wait staff to buss boys. Food is delectable. Entrees were well prepared, fresh ingredients, served hot & salads crisp. Highly recommended.“

“I stop in every time I am in San Diego. Everything there is absolutely fantastic...especially the Spanish Cheesecake. It's a hidden gem well worth a visit.“

“Delicious flavors in the family-size meal, which was impressively presented. Service was efficient and polite. Thank you, will come again!“

“Nice hidden gem in the middle ofan office park with several restaurants and a bar.

Lots of seating and fast casual food service.

There's lots of construction going on here so stay alert for available parking.“

“I attended the Holiday tea on 12/19 and it was one of the best Teas I have attended!
Ashley and Aaron waited on myself and my mother in law and they were fantastic!

I have a nut allergy and had mentioned it when I made the reservation months ago and they took me by surprise when they brought out a fully separate plate with all the items that they knew there fully nut free and did not mix with any of the pastries that had nuts in them.
It was such a nice touch and made the tea less stressful!

We plan to return to the Spring Tea as well!

The only “issue” was that as we enjoyed the table and food so much that we sipped our tea slowly and the tea did get cold after 1.5 hours since there was not anything to keep it warm.“

“Great sandwiches and the daily specials are awesome.“

“I had the pleasure of eating here as part of a work event March 23rd in the evening. Our party had 50 or 60 people in attendance and we were sat outside overlooking the golf course. The food was good but the real standout was the overall service we received from the staff. Because there were so many of us and this was a meet/greet event, people did not tend to stay in one place very long. The staff assigned to our table took orders and somehow still remembered who ordered what dish regardless of where they may have moved to at the tables. I was jaw-dropped at the level of attentiveness and accuracy. I have worked in food service in a previous career and fully appreciate this kind of work. I hope the resort pays them appropriately, especially MJ. She was such an MVP. Thank you for a great experience.“

“I enjoyed the santorini sampler platter. One word. "Delicious"“

“Ya’ll, tell me why I haven’t gone to this place sooner. I’m so impressed it’s not even funny. I got the wagyu bowl with french fries and it’s hit all the spots, especially since it included TABOULI!!!! I am a tabouli lover. Yum yum, will come back!“

“I enjoy my morning coffee and breakfast so much. The desserts in the coffee shop are so delicious. In the evening I like the cocktails. I love the fig and prosciutto flatbread, the salads, kung pao calamari, and the chicken. I haven’t tried all of the new chef’s new menu items, but I will.“
