    We were all feeling thirsty, so we looked for something refreshing nearby. This place looks like a…read moremini rain forest, so we decided to come here for the atmosphere as well as the drinks! We got to sample a few of the fresh flavored waters before making a decision. I ended up just getting the horchata because that's my favorite. It had the right amount of cinnamon and tasted great! My friends got the pineapple, guanabana, mango, and some other drinks that were invigorating as well. It was funny that all of our cups had different logos on them- one was from KFC lol. I like how they have fresh fruits in front of the cashier. There were even giant exotic fruits such as jack fruit hanging from the ceiling. I also saw those pretty 3D mini gelatin cakes available in their cases. I think they share the space with a flower shop because I noticed some very beautiful floral arrangements on the way out.

The smoothie I had was pretty good, same with the torta and quesadilla. It was above average food at a really cheap price! Fuimos aquí en camino a SD de Rosarito. Era mi primera vez en Mexico y mi amigo me trajo a este restaurante. Pedimos un montón de comida para que yo probara mucho. El smoothie supo bien como la torta y la quesadilla. Me gustó mucho la comida y todo fue muy barato.

    this restaurant is truly hard to get a reservation for, but it's so worth it! my friends and i…read morebooked our table of 5 a month in advance, and everything from the vibes of the restaurant to the food were really enjoyable. - salatim platter: so good !!! a great way to try all the dips that leila has to offer. i loved being able to mix and match different combinations with the 3 different breads that are included. - soltani platter: really good option if you have a group of 4 since you can get 1 skewer each and it comes with all the veggies and dips! we were able to substitute the 2 chicken joojeh for the steak kabob shishlik too for an extra charge. the meat for both the beef koobideh and steak were super flavorful and tender, and they were huge and filling too! pro tip: substitute the basmati rice for the tahdig (also extra charge) for the crispiest rice to pair with everything !! - lassi: a yummy, non-spirited mango lassi cocktail! not too sweet and a perfect drink to have alongside the food! beware that parking here is absolutely terrible LOL but it's expected since it's in a downtown area. come early and be prepared to circle around for awhile looking for parking on the streets! also for bigger groups, they may sit you at a table that is more tightly packed and cramped, so sharing dishes is a great way to make space. overall, we all really liked our food and would definitely be back if we're in san diego again!

    I was sooooo excited to go to this restaurant! My husband made a reservation and surprised me with…read morea dinner date here, so I was ready to be blown away! Unfortunately it was a big disappointment. We first walked in and of course the beautiful decor stuns you, but once you look around you realize that the place is much MUCH smaller than expected. In all the pictures it looks like it's a large restaurant but it's actually pretty small. When you get seated it takes the waiters a little while to come over and greet you, and the waiters are not overly friendly, it more so seemed like he was rushed. We ordered drinks and an appetizer to begin and placed our order for food at the same time. The chicken shawarma hummus came out first with naan bread. We finished the appetizer and still no drinks in sight. Our food came out and the drinks finally did as well. We had ordered two beers one of which was not very cold. We were excited to try the food as you can see everything being cooked on the grill, so it builds up anticipation. We ordered the lamb shank which comes with rice and greens, and we also ordered the steak kabob which comes over a toasted type of bread with spread and a sauce, as well as two extra naan breads. The lamb shank came out hot and it was very delicious. This was the star of the show! The steak kabob comes with about 5 small pieces of steak and leaves much to be desired. It was cold and the sauces and cracker/bread didn't really complement it well. The most disappointing thing was that it was cold so it was hard to really enjoy it. We were almost done with our meal and the naan had still not come out or the second beer we ordered in the process of dinner. Towards the middle of our meal, another server came by and asked if we wanted a box. My husband was in the middle of having a bite of his food and you could tell we were not done yet. The server even said "oh sorry I don't mean to rush you" so you could tell he knew what he was doing. I don't expect to be rushed through our meal when we had been waiting a long while for our meal to come out and when things got missed. Overall, for the prices and hype this place has, it leaves you feeling dissatisfied and disappointed. If you are looking for a place to take cute pictures and don't really care about the food then you'll love this place, but if you truly like to enjoy the food and look for great customer service, then there are way better places that can go above and beyond your expectations.
