Always amazing family run business. The lamb chops are incredible.

I could go on and on about so many wonderful dishes. The entire staff are beyond fantastic! Elegant and exotic foods from the Mediterranean. And one of the most healthy ways to eat.

Incredible food, great value, and a wonderful family runs the restaurant. It just doesn't get better than that!! Every meal has been delicious!!!

Best falafels. Tasty and not greasy.

I was looking for Greek/Mediterranean food and so glad I came across this restaurant. It did not disappoint. I was welcomed and greeted upon arrival and seated right away. The server was nice and attentive. She checked on me often and resolved an issue I had with my chicken kabob. I ordered the chicken kabob plate and I was also craving the gyro meat so she allowed me to do half and half. The food was so good and fresh. The pita 🫓 bread was to die for. The best I ever had. I was glad they served my iced tea in a glass and not a plastic cup. The restaurant is very small with some clutter areas but it works. Decorated nicely. The server and the cook seemed to be the owners not sure. They were both very nice. I will definitely return.

The food is delicious and the family that runs it is so kind! We have thoroughly enjoyed the food and the homey atmosphere each time we’ve gone. Highly recommend if you’re looking for amazing Greek food!!

I completely fell INLOVE with this beautiful little spot
Chris, our serve was absolutely amazing as well as soooo kind, especially patient and knowledgeable to help navigate 2 newbies with wine and food choice
Everything tasted exquisite, and the atmosphere was amazing. I believe it was the owner who even came out and spoke with us to see how everything was, including service, which I appreciated... overall, if I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

I've been to this restaurant before and had a wonderful experience. I went a couple weeks ago and ordered a dish. I had had previously and thoroughly enjoyed it. I wasn't able to finish at all because their portions are pretty big. But shortly after I started to feel really sick to my stomach and was then in between the bathroom and the bedroom for the next eighteen hours. When I called the restaurant to tell them that I had most likely gotten sick from their food seeing as how I hadn't eaten anything else that day, The owner herself got on the phone and then told me there was no way that that was possible that she knew all of her ingredients were fresh, and that something else in the universe must have come down and struck me ill... I thought it was pretty bold of her to assume that her food and staff were so great that nobody could have made a mistake and nothing could have been wrong with my dish. I got the feeling she thought I was trying to trick her or scam her in her some way because she said, oh well, I guess you can't bring it back cause I know you ate it all. First of all, no I did not. Your portions are very big and I couldn't finish it.The second of all, would it was very clear that I'd gotten sick from it.I threw it away. I did offer to bring back the rest of the appetizer. I had ordered, but she refused saying that she eats the same thing everyday and nothing has ever made her sick. I thought it was very poorly handled and the offer of just making me a fresh new dish was something to laugh at seeing as how it was the dish in the first place that had me in agony on the toilet. She said I could have a new one if I came back and mentioned her name, we'll never be going back very disappointed in how the situation was handled.Hopefully nobody else has as a piss poor experience as I did.

Fantastic food, excellent wine, and terrific service. The chicken was incredibly tender and tasty, the salad was wonderful, the rice was beyond any rice I ever had. I never knew that plain, white rice could be this great! The waitress was super attentive and friendly, suggesting a wonderful Italian muscato with the food. The chef and owner, was quite nice and welcoming, as were the other waiting staff. Prices are beyond great, around $14-15 for lunch and $17 for dinner (depending on the dish of course). My husband had a giant gyro. He loved it and said we have now found "our" new place! (He is usually very picky with his food). We will definitely go back for more!

Family-owned and operated. The food was great, service was even better. A hidden gem. Bill and his family do a great job.

One of the most amazing Gyros in Greek salads I have had. I read a recommendation for this restaurant on Facebook and I was in the area so thought I would pop in. The restaurant is hard to find. It's not visible from Jefferson so I had to use my Google maps. It's in a older shopping center. The interior is simple and clean and I took my food to go. The gyro was beyond my expectation and the Greek salad was phenomenal. I highly recommend based on the food I had. I will certainly be back.

Food was very good. I am no food expert but it seemed very authentic to me. Service was average, nothing special. Location sucks. In a strip mall, sign is deteriorated, random furniture/decorations were being stored at one end of the dining room.

I recently dined at Pangaea Restaurant and Wine Bar located at Jefferson Ave., Temecula, CA, for the second time because I loved the first visit so much. During my first visit, I ordered the gyro and grilled chicken. While the grilled chicken was a bit on the harder side, the gyro, which was shaved into flat pieces, was absolutely fantastic. This time, I tried the Village Salad with homemade meatballs and gyro, making it a delightful half-and-half combination.

I have traveled extensively and tasted a wide variety of foods, especially from Greek, Italian, and Mediterranean cuisines. However, believe it or not, these meatballs were unbelievable. Every bite tasted like authentic homemade meatballs, and the gyro was equally exceptional. I highly recommend this place.

The meal, including the salad, gyro, and meatballs, was around $23, which I find reasonable for such a high-quality dish. The salad itself was perfect, with their house dressing that tied everything together beautifully. I will definitely be going back and highly recommend everyone to visit this location.
