Greek Salad, Boneless Chicken Kabob a la Carte
Bryant F.

I'd driven past many times and this is my first visit. What took me so long? This is a beautiful restaurant, so much wood and metal with the design. I'd expected it to be a little more busy, but maybe I'd just missed the lunch rush. I ordered a Greek salad and added chicken kabob. Although it took a little longer than anticipated, just wow -- such a generous portion! And the meat was pretty much fork tender. A small touch that made me smile: when the lady at the counter was clearing a table, she made a point to stop by and ask if everything was okay. As the only person up front she kept busy and engaged. This is also an exceptionally clean restaurant. Definitely want to return sometime soon.

Food was hot and delicious. Comes with yogurt sauce, but you'll have to ask for the garlic sauce if you want it. Plenty of parking in front. They take credit cards. There is also a fountain machine to get your own drinks.

Juicy huge Chicken Doner Plate

Convenient spot for lunch when in the area with covered parking. Order at a quick walk up counter and choose a table inside (mostly 2 seater fast food type tables), or choose a wired table with an umbrella outside. They brought our food to us and helped clear our table when we were done. If you haven't checked out the plates, they're substantial servings and was pleasantly surprised with the salad size. - Chicken Donar Kabob is the most popular. Generous amount of juicy chicken but thought it could be slightly more tender - Beef Donar Kabob was also recommended

3.5 it's a great quick spot. Food was pretty good but nothing over the top or something I'd be recommending to friends to try out.

Combination Kabob #3 with no rice all salad

Tucked away in Carmel valley. Kabob lounge has a great variety of dishes with fresh ingredients. I've been coming here over the years and I've always had a great experience with their food and their staff.

Chicken n gyro salad
Jerry H.

We went here for dinner last night and got a large house salad. I added a chicken kabob and gyro meat on top. It was gigantic. The chicken kabob was cooked on a metal kabob for even cooking throughout the chicken breast. It was the best, most tasty, most juicy large chicken breast kabob I have ever tried. It was large and savory. Luna Grill and Daphnis do not compare at all. Great job! The gyros were ok and they gave a great potion. I would have preferred more charred pieces of gyro meat. Also they did not offer any sauces like a garlic or yogurt sauce for the meat or pita. Service was mediocre at best and they never checked up on how things were. Some employees were on their cell phone as they worked and cleaned the floors. It was kind of weird since I was the only one there. After 7:35 pm I felt unwelcome and rushed to get out of their store. They wanted to clean and close up. Overall, great chicken kabob and awesome portions here. It could use side sauces for dipping. Service today was mediocre but I'm hopeful it's just a one off experience. If service continues to be mediocre again when I return star ratings will go down. I'll head next door for dinner for award winning sushi.

Their Persian pizza was delicious but what was amazing was their baklava. The baklava was filled with walnut filling and gave baklava-fooman koloocheh fusion vibes! Sooo good!

Best hummus ever
Karen R.

Amazing food here everytime. We have ordered almost everything here and can say fully the food here is so flavorful and yummy. I especially love the gyro salad and the koobideh plate with rice and salad. Hummus appetizer is absolutely amazing along with their dolmadas. Please come here!

Combination Kebab 3

Excellent casual kabob spot in upscale shopping center and neighborhood! Will be back

I thought it is a restaurant when I place pick up order on Uber Eat. However, it is kinda like fast food spot. Kabob was ok but not great. And inform falafel was disappointed.

Happened upon this place after Yelp-searching for food in the area. Kabob Lounge was just around the corner. Clean and open dining area and patio next door to some Sushi bubbles. Service was somewhat prompt during this lunch-hour order frenzy. Probably the best chicken kabob ever of breast meat (may have been tenderloin). Not dry at all. Very juicy and flavorful. If we lived closer, we would frequent rather often. Good food. Got super busy before we were finished. Dicks

This was more than dinner. It was an experience…read more We sat tucked away in a little corner that honestly felt like we were having dinner in someone's grandmother's house, and I mean that in the BEST way possible. Cozy, warm, intimate and welcoming. And the FOOD?! I was convinced somebody's Italian grandmother had to be downstairs hand making that pasta because there was no other explanation. I had the lobster ravioli and started with the bruschetta tostada. Everything was absolutely chef's kiss. Fresh, flavorful and tasted like it was made with love. But what made the experience even better was our waiter, Mauricio! He was simply amazing. He genuinely took care of us, shared the story of the restaurant and talked about how much he enjoyed working there. And you could tell. It showed in the way he treated us and the attention he gave throughout the entire meal. Great food is one thing. Great food paired with genuine hospitality is something completely different. I will DEFINITELY be back the next time I'm in San Diego. If you're looking for homemade pasta, amazing food and that warm family feel, put this place on your list. You will not be disappointed.

Great find. Looking forward to our next visit here. Ask for a Luca You won't be disappointed…read more.

We had dinner at Nonna on a Thursday evening while visiting San Diego, and it was one of the…read morehighlights of our trip. We sat outside on the sidewalk, it was relaxed and welcoming. The real star was our server, Marcelo. Instead of just taking our order, he asked each of us what we like and suggested a dish for everyone. He was spot on. I had the Rigatoni Palermitana, with sausage, pomodoro, capers, olives and a kick of Calabrian chili, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Everyone in our party loved the meal. It felt like eating at an Italian grandmother's table, which fits the name. If you're in Little Italy, go, and ask for Marcelo! PS don't forget the gelato!

Sunday evening in Little Italy, and Nonna was PACKED. Somehow, we managed to snag a table outside…read moreright next to the Little Italy sign, and honestly, it couldn't have been a better spot. After a long day at the beach, we ordered a bottle of wine, and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't ridiculously overpriced. Sitting outside, enjoying a glass of wine and watching Little Italy come alive was exactly what we needed. Our server was exceptional. The service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. But let's talk about the food... The food was AMAZING. We ordered several different things, and everything we tried was delicious, but the pappardelle with short ribs was the standout. The pasta was absolutely fantastic--rich, comforting, and exactly the kind of Italian comfort food you want at the end of a long day. And then there was the dessert case... Oh. My. Goodness. Everything in that case looked like it was personally designed to make you regret saying, "No, we're too full for dessert." Nonna was exactly what we were hoping for that evening: great food, great service, a beautiful Little Italy setting, and a relaxed atmosphere where we could sit outside and enjoy ourselves. I can't wait to go back and eat some more Italian comfort food--and next time, I'm getting the tiramisu.
