Such a great place! The food isn't too pricey and they give you a good portion. It's very tasty too! Such friendly employees and a drive-thru puts this place at the top for me!

If you truly enjoy Greek food this restaurant will probably be a disappointment. I have gone here a half a dozen times now. Really hoping this would be a good option in the area. But every time we go the food just isn't that good. I have tried a couple of gyro dishes. Unfortunately the restaurant uses frozen processed gyro. Super salty, we couldn't even finish our dishes. Tried the burger combos. I'm guessing they use frozen meat patties. The outside edges were cooked but they middle of the patties were cold. On a well done order. We sent them back and waited almost 20 minutes. And still the burgers weren't prepared properly. Even tried the lemon soup. Received just over a half a container lemon water, no appreciable rice or chicken. Just really sad. We keep hoping for a good solid restaurant to open in in this location. We are still waiting. (The staff is really friendly, but the food is subpar at best).

The food is good but portions have gotten smaller and prices are higher And the sharmuta named ayisha was being very rude by reminding us what time they close upon ordering our food and she didn’t like when I told her that it was rude to say that to customers and wanted to start an argument with me at my table Absolutely ridiculous encounter

We tried this place for the first time last night. I have to say both my wife and I were impressed. The food was packed with flavor and great portions. You absolutely want to add this to your list, such friendly service, open kitchen that was obviously clean and a great menu. I noticed that everyone that came in was greeted and offered help and each order was prepared with care. One problem though, how do you make your mind up, we wanted to order everything so I guess we'll just have to go back.

We had intended to go to the Thai place next door but at 2:35pm they told us they're closing at 3pm (Sunday) and we could only order to-go... We left. We went next door to Cali Kabob and we're so glad we did! Usually, we'd go to Daphne's or Luna Grill for Kabob or Shawarma but we were happy to try it out. There were so many items to choose from! We had the Gyro Wrap and the Chicken Kabob plate. OMGOSH! They were sooo good! My husband is retired Navy and has had the opportunity to try this type of food in the Middle East and he was very impressed. The chicken pieces were generous and juicy. The rice, fluffy and flavorful. The salad, very light and refreshing - the dressing was perfect - not too acidic or oily. The Gyro Wrap was massive, the Tzatziki - perfect, creamy and tangy! The meat was seasoned to perfection and the veggies inside, fresh and crisp. It was perfect on this warm afternoon. We both had the spicy hummmus and pita - my husband perfers the thicker pita bread but this one, thinner, was perfect for me. It was also used for the wrap and they crisp it up under a paninni press - never would have thought about it but I loved the crunch it gave to my wrap.
This is a husband and wife team working hard for their family and the community. I use Luna Grill for my meal prep at times and the family packs they offer here are just as big, $10 cheaper AND I can get falafel too! If you're in the mood for great Med food, this is the place to go! I forgot to get pictures because everything looked so good, we dove right in!

I walked here from Pechanga casino which is close by. I have been wanting some shawarma and this is the closest place. The place has a large amount of seating. They have a large menu of Mediterranean foods, salads, burgers, wraps, fries, and platters.
I got their shawarma mix ($15.99) which is sliced pieces of beef and chicken on a pile of rice with a side of salad and hummus. The portions were large and the meat was well seasoned with a piece of warm pita bread. The salad was crispy with chopped tomatoes, cucumber, and sliced red onions. They also sell Vimto, which is a grape, herby drink.
The staff is nice, they have a drive-thru as well.

I wanted to try something new and am all about supporting local businesses. Ordering Greek food, what do you look forward to most….most people would say the pita!! If you want good pita, DO NOT order from here. It is store bought, dry, flat, and a huge disappointment. Chicken kabob plate was edible but I am glad I paid happy hour prices because the it was mediocre at best. Will for sure go elsewhere for my Greek fix next time.
This is how my “warmed up” pita was served. Microwaved in the store bought bag. At the very least, list that on your online ordering menu. I wouldn’t have ordered it.

Just drop in was greeted by a very nice hostess made my order. While I waited she offered me a soft drink at no charge. How wonderful is that in this age of not knowing there are people with love to share make want to cry. Thank you so much for your generosity.

I recently visited Cali Kabob Temecula, a new restaurant in the area, and was initially drawn in by its reasonable prices. Although, the customer service was great. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of my expectations. While the portion sizes were small, I'm accustomed to sharing dishes, but I was surprised to find that this restaurant doesn't typically offer two meats per plate like most kabob spots do. The kafta I ordered was unfortunately lacking in flavor, which was a letdown. The rice was decent, and the salad was a highlight of the meal. I would suggest also including garlic spread, not just tahini as this would not only add more flavor to the dish but also provide a creamy contrast to the grilled meats. While Cali Kabob Temecula has potential, it needs to work on improving its portion sizes and flavor profiles to live up to its competitors in the area. With some tweaks, I believe this restaurant could become a go-to spot for kabob enthusiasts.

Great place to have lunch or even dinner. Food has great flavor and the girl Ashley at the front counter has great customer service. I will be back next time I pass through California. Great spot to hop of the highway and get a great meal.
Vegetarian options: Great salads!
Parking: East to park has a lot of spaces due to the casino being close.
