“I have been going to Hanna Garden for many years. The food is consistently high quality, regardless of what I have ordered.I have ordered Fattoush salad,dolma, beef shawarma,chicken shawarma , Baba Ghannoush , and other dishes, all very delicious and flavorful! Prices are very reasonable, especially in these post pandemic times. And best of all, is the very polite and kind woman who serves me the food(and who I think might be the co-owner of the business)! So attentive and caring! It is a pleasure for me to support this local business!“

“My experience has been good through and through. It wasn't too crowded, the service was timely and food was very delicious. As appetizer we tried trio of dips, dips were yum and pita was just perfect. I tried roasted chicken for mains that I highly suggest for chicken lovers. Their stakes are pretty good too. For dessert, we tried crème brulé and chocolate cupcake and they were very delicious. Overall, highly suggest it, and it'll be a go to place for me whenever in town :)“

“This was our first time at Luna Grill and my husband and I were impressed with the hospitality of the staff, the cleanliness of the restaurant, and the quality of the food. Shay was especially welcoming and answered our questions and provided great recommendations. I had the Mediterranean harvest bowl, a limited time menu item, and my husband got a plate with the beef kabob and apple walnut salad with rice. We both cleared our plates and will definitely be back again!“

“We recently ordered a To go order from this location. Everything was great from start to finish from easy ordering online, to a great team behind the counter and in the kitchen. Healthy food and great service. What more can you ask for in a health food restaurant. We will be coming to this location on the regular. Thank you Luna Grill Encinitas! Keep it up.“

“Honestly my favorite place to eat at UCSD. The food is fresh and consistently great. The falafel is made in-house and fresh. The owner and staff are super friendly too. If I could eat here every day I would lol.Dietary restrictions: All the food/meat is Halal.“

“This place is near and dear to my heart. I first went here as a 20 year old UCSD student in the late 90s and continued to eat here regularly until leaving San Diego 3 years ago. Whenever I'm back in San Diego it will be one of the first places I visit.It simply is the best kebabs I've had in my life. I say this as someone who lived in NYC and has traveled around the world a fair bit. Sure, you have to put in an order early during the lunch rush, but there is a reason for it.“

“The serve and the food was so great. Only a few pieces of rice left on the plate. Very FRESH“

“Enjoyed visiting this winery on December 30th.I was visting from Seattle and stopped by this place for dinner. The atmosphere was great. the bartender was friendly. the food and the wine were of great quality.They slightly overcharged my receipt by $0.95, but mistakes happen, the manager was polite and apologetic about it.I would visit this place again and highly recommend it to any travellers deciding to stop by a small little town called Encinitas in the San Diego area.“

“Someone in my office knows the owners of Oriste and had them cater an office lunch. I love Greek food but usually, the food at restaurants is bland and very dry. This is especially true for takeout. I was very surprised that the food from Oriste was the opposite. Kebabs, Shwarma, chicken, everything was good. I hope to visit their restaurant.“

“What an amazing experience with Foodiz kitchen! I organized a dinner party for my parents 30th anniversary and the most important thing for me was for the food to be nothing less than perfection as my parents are real foodies. Luckily Foodiz kitchen went above and beyond to work on the perfect menu with me. Oren and Ben were so sweet and patient with my never ending requests and changes and the end result was phenomenal! All the guests were amazed by the delicious and beautiful dinner, it was absolutely perfect and I could not recommend them enough!“

“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. ;-)“

“Immediately upon walking in, we felt so welcome. The "slave" as he called himself was so friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic! So well prepared and tasty. Great portions, great options.And the atmosphere! Wow. It's a beautiful place, and the staff made it feel that much more! Beautiful. We loved this place!“

“This is the first time that we have stopped at Micheline"s Pita House, I knew it was a small local chain but there aren't any locations up close to where we live. Happen to be down in this area yesterday around lunchtime and checked out yelp for a good Mediterranean places and found this gem. Although the two of us split a pita sandwich it was very generously portioned the euro meat was awesome with the hummus mixed in onions cucumbers and tzatziki sauce. They have tons of other options from plates to bowls and wraps all of them looked pretty amazing super fresh cooked right there and put together right in front of you. I'm hoping they open some other locations up in North County but until then will try to hit this place to get our Gyros. Service was friendly and fast not much ambience but you can sit outside in the sun at a table :-)“

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

“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.“

“First time CAVA customer. Why all caps? Ya YELLING at me? But hey food was good. At the One Paseo location the line moved quickly giving me just a little time to ask the person behind me how this place works. So many healthy choices‼️ I’d definitely come to CAVA when again in SoCal. So why no NorCal locations?I’d a given 5⭐️ if the facilities were cleaner. Oh, and definitely consider replacing the stained underside toilet seat in the men’s restroom. Stat.“

“This is a consistent place in my favorite ordering out foods so I had to review. My boyfriend and I love the wraps, specifically the San Diego Wrap; the price is SO worth it for the portion size. The yogurt and cilantro sauce are our fav sauces from here“

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

“This is my favorite Mediterranean food place. You get so much food for the price you pay for. I always get the rice bowls half gyro and half steak shawarma. All the toppings are included in the price! I always recommend this place when people want Mediterranean food in San Diego.“

“One of my favorite spots in Carmel Valley. Their pitas are amazing! Located in the Sky Deck, so you get the vibe but without the long restaurant wait.Vegetarian options: They have a a few dishes with vegetarian options that are super yummy.“

“Great sandwiches and the daily specials are awesome.“

“Tried Park Commons on a warm February Friday, just after 12. The main hall was packed with people, but my lunch companion and I were able to place our order at the kiosk and easily find a table outdoors rather quickly. Once your order is ready, you will get a text to pick it up, which is easy enough. The food: I ordered the cheeseburger combo Cheeseburger - 3/5 stars The meat is pre-formed, not my favorite, and it had too much thousand island sauce. However, the vegetables were vibrant and fresh, and that crusty looking bun... anything but! It was so well-toasted it added to the overall flavor elevating what would be an average cheeseburger. Tots - 5/5 stars! One tiny little bag seems to hold a ton of tasty tots! They were cooked and salted to perfection, served fresh, so they were nice and hot. The combo comes with a fountain drink of your choice with free refills. Park Commons is a bit hard to find, but a nice addition to the business center. Some resident businesses are offered a 15% discount. If you are one of the lucky few and are eligible, place your order at the bar where they will key it in for you. You cannot get the discount if ordering at the kiosk.“

“As someone who works in the office complex where the Kabob Lounge is located, I can confidently say that it's become one of our office's 'go - to' spots. Here's why: 1. Delicious food: The food is consistently very good, Whether you want kebabs, mediterranean dishes, pizza's or burgers, they've got you covered. 2. Reasonable prices. 3. Indoor and outdoor seating. Nice ambiance indoors and fresh air outside. 4. Well maintained and clean 5. The owner, Pedram, has a warm and professional demeanor. He clearly strives to provide great food and great service, and from my perspective, he delivers. He clearly cares about his patrons. If you appreciate good quality Mediterranean cuisine, the Kabob Lounge will not disappoint.“

“We love Del Mar and this is our go to restaurant. You don't need reservations and they have a nice outdoor atmosphere. The service is very friendly. The food is good and well priced. I consider this restaurant a great alternative to the expensive Californian restaurants as well as the less expensive pizza and Mexican places in town. I also have taken business lunch meetings here as the lunch menu is very reasonable. Lots of parking around if you head down 11 or 12 Ave toward the water.“

“There are good restaurants, but there are great restaurants we want to come back as soon as we finished eating. this is one of those“

“Been going here for years and it never disappoints. The veggie combo platter is my staple order as it offers a wide variety of vegetarian dishes in one plate such as falafels, hummus, dolmas, spanakopita, etc. You also can't go wrong with their gyro sandwich special. Their French fries are surprisingly pretty solid - crispy and thick cut. They renovated the inside some time ago so it looks so much nicer. Plenty of patio seating is available as well. The service is usually pretty good. They can get quite busy so it's best to have your order ready to go before you get to the counter!“

“What's there to say, the food is amazing and so consistent, I always order the chicken kabob or sirloin kabob plate with herb rice, the hummus and pita is amazing. I must say the best part of the experience is the gals at the front, Jacky is so sweet and always has a smile on her face. Will go back for sure and next will be the La Jolla location.Thanks Jacky:)“

“The cashier/food runner Rebecca is extremely insincere and frankly bad at her job. I asked for her name just so other customers can avoid an unpleasant interaction. The other employee were honestly very kind and helpful. I had asked Rebecca for a refill just to have her tell me to ask her coworker. She then proceeded to go behind the counter and flirt with the clearly uncomfortable male employee who ended up actually providing my group with satisfactory service. Food was amazing and the restaurant itself is very clean and well operated aside from the one unpleasant employee. I won't be giving one star because everything else made up for it.“

“Grilled shrimp bowl with herb rice was excellent. Fresh ingredients and robust flavors. Portions were normal sized and I got enough to make me happy and full. There is some seating inside (4 tables), but also a nice courtyard outside for additional seating. Friendly and courteous service.“

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

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

“We will definitely be returning. Our waitress was so helpful with selecting items off the menu. The food itself was delicious. Every item emerging from the kitchen was plated so well that it looked like a work of art and also inviting enough that I still wanted to dive right in. The desserts were phenomenal. Many of the menu items were made with honey, and there was also an option to take some home! It was a little loud and hard to hear the person I was dining with over the music, but not enough of an issue that we asked or have it turned down.“

“We went lunch last week Saturday order food delicious and good customer service.Her name was maya I believe if wrong sorry and other gentle men forgot name but they had great attitude!!I highly recommend this place we will be back soon!!From yoshie!!!thank you kastenaboshi!!!“

“The setting is gorgeous. We were seated with a view of the ocean through a big picture window. The 5-star property doesn't disappoint. You feel like you've traveled back in time to an age of Hollywood glamour and elegance. Our breakfast was delicious with excellent service.“

“Delicious food. Very flavorful and seems like lots of healthy options. This was my first time here. The manage, Chris, was very helpful and explained all the options. It was a busy Friday night, he was training someone new on the line as well as the register, but he still politely helped me and kept everything moving efficiently. I’ll definitely be back.“

“My husband and I had dinner on Valentine's Day there and we were surprised that It was a quiet night for this place - maybe people don't choose a sports bar for Valentine's Day but it was great choice for us. My husband had the ahi tuna and I had a half sandwich and delicious tomato soup. The margarita was excellent and so was the brownie dessert. We had wonderful service - no doubt because the place was practically empty. It was a lovely evening.“

“Me and husband went for a quick bite after watching the car show at La Jolla yesterday.The ambiance was really good ,loved the view of the ocean The staffs were friendly and the service was fast.we had the couscous Salad and the Ahi Tuna salad omgggg it was so good we will definitely be coming back“
