Definitely a 5-star place! The taste, quantity, environment, and staff were all excellent. The owner was super friendly and made us feel like he was serving us at his own house! Been in a couple times now and each time is a 5-star experience, and you can’t say that about many places. Only complaint is that I don’t have a big enough stomach
I went with my large family. We found the server and service to be prompt and friendly. The eating area and the bathroom was impeccably clean. The food was fresh and enjoyed by all of us. I will go again if I'm in the area
Good food. Tucked away at Balboa Crest shopping area. This place offers a good selection of Mediterranean food. Tried their chicken kebab and Beef Kofta, they usually serve generous portions of food and the quality is good. Also tried the meat pie, it was very delicious. It is a nice clean place so you can go wrong here.
The people working when I came in are helpful and kind! Felt welcomed and the food looks really amazing
I ordered takeout the other day, the staff was friendly, the food was really good and the value was also excellent. I highly recommend you give this place a try.
This was our first restaurant in San Diego, and boy were we surprised! We're not a huge fan of middle eastern food, as we didn't have the best experience before, but this place was definitely the exception. The restaurant was clean, and the food was delicious. The owner Umar and his son Muhammed were excellent hosts—one of the best middle eastern restaurant we've been to. As this was our first time here, Umar suggested we try the mixed shawarma plate (chicken and beef) and beef kufta (ground) kabob as they didn't have the beef tikka (pieces) kabob. He even gave us a skewer of chicken tikka on the house to try. The beef kufta kabob was tender and juicy, but the shawarma was a little crispy and dry. The chicken tikka kabob was so good. The hot and garlic sauces were unique and great complements to the food. The hot sauce was our favorite. I loved the feta on the salad, and the hummus and pita portion on the platter. The hummus was so creamy, and the pita was a great scooper for it. Umar even gave us a couple of pieces of Harisa sweets on the house, which were soft and super moist. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and ambiance. The conversation with Umar and his son Muhammed was eye opening. We discussed and exchanged many fruitful ideas that hopefully we can continue discussing in the future. Also, the prices are super reasonable. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. Highly recommend!
Awesome spot! Great food, big portions. Gyro plate, chicken kabob plate, fries were all bomb and fresh and delicious. Remodeled interior is really nice and new, well done. Couldn't see upstairs patio due to private party. No beer or wine license is a bummer :( hope they get that someday. Welcome addition to the neighborhood! Will be back
Visiting from Texas. Definitely one of the best Mediterranean restaurants I’ve been too! Amazing prices with huge portions. I will be back!
