Soo fresh and delicious!…read more I've been eating so much junk food lately so just had a need to eat something healthy, hoping it would be delicious too, ohhh my gosh, it was. I binged on a YouTube channel where this guy made Arabic food. He had a video of him making hummus. Well, of course, I started craving hummus and pita after that. I ordered a gyro plate and salad. It also came with some hummus that wasn't listed on their menu so it was a happy surprise. I also ordered hummus and it was as creamy as the one on YouTube looked. All so yummy, well spiced and totally delicious. Because I ordered it delivered I didn't see what the place looked like inside. I plan to go there though so will update then. .

We were looking for a Mediterranean place, and I'm so glad we chose Al-Reef!…read more We ordered: -Greek salad with chicken kebab -Greek salad with beef kebab -Gyro sandwich (comes with crinkle cut fries!) -2 orders of hummus Everything was DELICIOUS! Portions were generous, and prices are extremely reasonable! The gyro was phenomenal, and I really enjoyed the tzatziki on it. All sandwiches come with fries, and they were not only crinkle cut but also fried perfectly. They were still crispy even as a take out order! The flavor of the Greek salad was savory, tangy, and refreshing. The hummus was also *chef's kiss*. We were more than satisfied with our order! We phoned in our order, and it was ready in 15 minutes. The owner was so sweet and attentive! He noticed we were missing our hummus and pita and made sure we got it before finishing up packing our order. Please do you and your tastebuds a favor and try Al-Reef. I just wish we lived closer!

I was looking for a place to cater delicious Mediterranean food for my birthday. I decided to walk…read morein and try them out and I have to say I was not disappointed at all. I am obsessed with Za'atar so I definitely had to try the Za'atar flat bread and it was delicious plus everything else we tried was just as amazing. Right away I decided to look no further and booked them to cater the food for my birthday. The kabobs, beef, chicken shawarma and everything we ordered was outstanding!! Our guest were all super happy and kept asking where we ordered the food from so I'm sure they will also be visiting the place soon. Needless to say the owners are super sweet and helpful!!! Sadly I didn't take any pictures. So busy running around I totally forgot!

Found this amazing Lebanese spot during a recent visit to the area and ended up ordering way more…read morethan planned, no regrets. I started with the lentil soup, which was rich and comforting, then moved on to an appetizer combo of falafel, kibbeh, and lahme bajin. Everything was delicious. I wasn't a huge fan of the molasses on top of the kibbeh and would've loved a bit more tahini, but even then it was still excellent and hardly worth complaining about. I also ordered the chicken kebab plate, and I have to say, the salad dressing was simple yet easily one of the best I've had in a long time. The rice tasted like true homemade, family-style cooking, which I really appreciated. And the lahme bajin? So good that I ordered six more to go. Absolutely worth a visit.

I found out about Kan Zaman from a 1 star review of neighbor down the street, called Baba Ali,…read moreacross from Lins Grand Buffet. Reviewer crtisized Baba because they had so little meat for so high a price $30 and that "bigger portions for cheaper prices can be found at Kam Zaman." So here I am. I love lamb and the moussaka lamb shank was recommended to me by my server Alejandra. $23 sounded reasonable to me. Besides the entry in the picture she gave me a basket filled with pita bread and brought me garlic butter and chopped Olive tapenade. I spread that inside the pita with the garlic butter and it was so delicious. I am taking the leftover pieces to put in my toaster oven and heat to crispy and spread the garlic spread and olive tapenade at home yum. I do not live in this area I come from San Diego and Scottsdale arizona. But I am selling my short-term vacation rental in Temecula Wine Country and I don't have any food there because it's not my home. So I found this restaurant through the bubba review. I shall eat here as long as I stay in Temecula the service is warm and welcoming and the food is very satisfying. The portion of the lamb shank and rice was generous so that I save half of it in my own takeout box to have for another dinner with a pita bread. Looking forward to the leftovers. some men win I read the one-star review of no remember Alejandra was my wonderful server, checked up me often

I tried them for the first time on Saturday the 2nd of April (2026)…read more It was during an unscheduled stop in Murrieta and I usually go to Papa Feta in Temecula, one town over but decided to give this place a try and was not disappointed. We ordered: Chicken Mantar ($21): It comprised of sauteed Chicken with Mushrooms, Onions cooked in a Garlic sauce. It came with rice and was very flavorful. Eggplant Musakka ($23): This Eggplant dish was prepared in a Tomato sauce with fall off the bone Lamb shank and some garlic sauce. Accompanied with rice, it was also excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The only setback was that the food took almost 30 minutes to be served but the restaurant was fully packed. Service was also top notch. I would definitely be going back there again.

I gave it a solid try- ordered the feta home fries, fried Zucchini , market burger and chicken…read morebowl. Feta home fries had good flavor but the fries were very hard. Fried zucchini with ranch helped keep us eating- the burger wasn't what we expected after seeing it on a IG story. Frozen patty and the cheese was $extra (shredded cheese as it wasn't melted at all). Chicken bowl lacked flavor and very generic taste. Ate half of everything. Service was ok - kitchen was dark which creeped us out. Inside felt awkward as we were the only ones inside on a Saturday late afternoon. Had a dusty dirty smell. I was hoping to find a little gem of a place but ended up very disappointed.

Had a random Mediterranean craving and ended up at Cali Kabob next to Pechanga (meaning parking is…read moreplenty) zero regrets, minor chaos. The place looked like it lost a small battle with a lunch rush (probably short-staffed), but honestly... I came for food, not interior design. Ordered the beef & chicken shawarma combo like I meant business, and my son went with the chicken kabob. The basmati rice showed up fluffy and flavorful like it had something to prove. The chicken kabob had that smoky, "I was grilled with love" vibe, and the beef shawarma was so tender it basically melted before I could fully commit to chewing. Then came the baklava. Apparently homemade by the owner's mom, and yeah... you can taste the difference. Not drowning in syrup, not trying too hard.... just sweet, flaky perfection doing its thing teaming up w ground pistachios being delicious!! Messy dining room aside, the food showed up dressed to impress... and at prices that don't make your wallet cry!!!

We were in the area for my son's mountain bike race and needed dinner after a long day in the heat…read more Yelp saved the day again! In short, Shawarma Grill was insanely good! The staff were soooo polite and accommodating, they made us feel like we were family dining in their home. The plates were some of the Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food we have eaten. The portions were giant, but the quality was very high. We were given all the sauces to try -- garlic, tzatziki, spicy -- and I enjoyed all of them. I had beef shawarma and at my wife's chicken and both were juicy and flavorful. Sadly, we don't live nearby, but if you're reading this, I expect you pay them a visit!

Always a go‑to spot for an amazing lunch date with my wife, this restaurant has been a favorite of…read moreours for many years. The lunch buffet is consistently high quality, serving Northern‑style Indian dishes that are incredibly flavorful and infused with aromatic spices. It's also very reasonably priced and honestly one of the best deals in town when you consider the excellent food, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere. The buffet menu changes often, which keeps things fun. Some of our personal favorites include the juicy tandoori and Lasuni chicken, tikka masala, coconut curry chicken, and definitely the goat curry. The side dishes are just as delicious -- like the daal, aloo, and spinach paneer -- and the hot, fresh garlic naan brought directly to your table is always a highlight. Skip the boring chain restaurants and support this local gem!

In a quiet strip of Jefferson, where the Temecula breezes blow, There sits a temple of the spice, with a warm and steady glow. Mantra, oh Mantra, where the clay oven's fire burns bright, Turning simple grains of flour into Naan of pure delight. From the copper bowls, a steam arises--a gold and crimson haze, The Tikka Masala sings a song that sets the heart ablaze. With Butter Chicken rich and smooth, a velvet, creamy dream, And Samosas crisp and golden, the masters of the scheme. The Lunch Buffet is spread like wealth for any hungry soul, Where Saag Paneer and Chana wait to fill a weary bowl. From the sizzle of the Tandoor to the sweetness of the tea, You bring the soul of Punjab to the valley of the free. So here's to every cumin seed and every cardamon pod, To the chefs who craft the flavors like a culinary god. For a taste of home or travels far, we gather at your door, To feast at Mantra's table and always ask for more.
