Had dinner and it was so delightful. The mushroom appetizer was the best! Nice atmosphere and nice hostess.

My girlfriend and I decided to try this place on a whim because of the high ratings. Let me start out by saying, the amount of 5 star ratings for this restaurant are very suspect considering how empty it was! Check the location of the other reviewers and you'll find many of them don't live anywhere near the place! We came at about 6pm on a Saturday, which should be a prime time for a restaurant, but we were the only customers there! The food is frozen and microwaved, not fresh, and the service (especially considering we were the only customers) was mediocre and felt unprofessional. We were waiting a long time for the bill while the whole staff were chatting by the bar after making our food. Deplorable! I tipped out of courtesy (I always tip), but once we got home we both had bad stomach aches and gas from the food unlike any other restaurant I've been to! Wish I hadn't tipped, and I never do this, but I would have walked out of this place without paying if I knew how it would make my stomach feel. To top off all of this, it is very overpriced. 1 star across the board. If the owner or staff read this, throw out your frozen old food, simplify your menu, and hire staff that actually cares. This restaurant has been one of the worst I've ever been to, akin to a restaurant off the show Kitchen Nightmares. STAY AWAY!!!Edit:Upon reading the other low star reviews, another reviewer stated that his party received threats, and I also found this picture of the staff drinking on the job! I pulled this picture from a 5 star reviewer, who is CLEARLY a friend/family of the owners, as who in their right mind would give a restaurant a 5 star review while the employees drank wine on the job!? I have reported this review and a couple other suspicious ones for "conflict of interest" as the owners should not be able to boost the ratings of this restaurant by having friends/family write reviews! In this picture, the three people standing (and drinking wine) are employees! This is unacceptable! DO NOT TRUST the positive reviews!

What a special gem in Temecula! The best we have had in the area. Everything is homemade and made with love. It feels like home! Family owned business- support local you won’t regret it! This is what a restaurant is supposed to be. We absolutely adore this place!

This is by far not a restaurant which is authentic. I've been to Greek restaurants and I'm also European. The seasoning on the salad is not fresh, parsley, Dill is an important ingredient in Greece and inexpensive to get it fresh. So the salad was right there a disappointment. And feta cheese? You don't want the crumbled style - it's supposed to be a Greek restaurant.The gyro platter I had was incredibly made from the freezer directly on my plate. I did not get the Tzatziki home made dip with it. I had to order their appetizer to get the dip. Pita bread and Tzatziki for an extra charge.The service was not there either. We came around lunch time and 3 tables were occupied with all together 3 customers. The server did just the necessary job, but wasn't even concentrated and continuously on her phone, instead of checking on the customers.The one star i gave is only because i did like the decorations and bar area.Sad story - ✔️✅

Our party of six dined at Pangaea tonight. We ordered a variety of appetizers, entrees, and drinks. The food was excellent and the service outstanding. Hats off to the staff and the chef. It was a good time and they were diligent in attending to one member of our party with a food allergy.

Overpriced, small portions and nothing special. Our waitress was SUPER snooty. Will never go back.
Found another healthy local family owned restaurant gem, it's just past Old Town next to Lady of the Lake shop. Best vegan dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) I have ever had. Absolutely delicious. So good, I got an order to go because I'll never find any this good anywhere else. Everything we both had was delicious, very fresh, healthy, nicest owners/staff, great service, good prices. I highly recommend it!

Nice, quiet atmosphere with excellent service. And the food is delicious. The hot ham, chicken & provolone sandwich is incredible. My girlfriend had the gyro platter and the meat was amazing. Love this place. Can't wait to go back for their Lamb Chops!

The reviews led us to this family owned and operated establishment. The food and service really are amazing!! A very homey ambiance. I can't wait to return and try more amazing food. The mushroom appetizer and ravioli were very good. The falafel is my favorite in town.

I have lived locally in Temecula for almost 12 years. 6months ago I moved to North Carolina. I came back to visit this week. Pangea is so good that they 100% of the time make my “must eat at” list while in town. The Chicken Jerusalem is my favorite dish. My husband loves the gyro. The family who owns it are the best. Cozy and homey atmosphere. Go eat here.
