Tried this place for the first time yesterday and really enjoyed it. I live really close and have passed by many times and would always say I'll check it out and glad I finally did. The owner greeted me and was really kind. I ordered the spicy hummus, gyro wrap, and chicken kebab salad. It was all very flavorful. The tzatziki sauce was like no other and had a familiar taste I couldn't really hone in on what it was. I wish I grabbed more for my gyro because it was a pretty good size and was packed with meat. I've had many gyros in my day and I can say this one was well sized and also well priced for what you get. My wife's chicken kebab salad was also a hit. Not only was her chicken kebab very flavorful with Lebanese spices but the salad dressing it came with was also a very flavorful herby vinaigrette. I noticed there wasn't anybody inside the restaurant but it was also late. I also happened to notice that they had a lot of takeout orders ready to go. That tells me that this place is a real hit and many people come here for the cuisine. All in all, my wife loved the food and we will be returning again. I can see us getting food here more often. read more

This place has literally been down the street from me forever and I finally walked through the door and honestly, why did I wait so long? They have real shish kebabs with several protein options, and we went all in on the family platter. Yes, it's a little on the pricier side, but the flavors are absolutely there and it felt worth it. My one suggestion would be to ease up a little on the sauce portions. I'd love to have both hummus and sauce with the platter instead of just one giant bowl of one or the other. The rice and salad were tasty, the pita was fresh, and we'll definitely be back. read more

I first knew about this place on DoorDash and I've ordered the kids meal through there. It was delicious so I finally decided to do pick up through their app and I got the chicken tikka kebab entrée with the salad and extra veggie kebab. Oh my gosh, the presentation alone was delicious. Don't even get me started on the flavor of the chicken. It's so simple but the flavors together is just absolutely decadent. I will always come here at least once a week. It is so good workers are always so friendly and the qualities is just unmatched. read more

Maan's Mediterranean Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Oceanside, California

I've been searching for an amazing Mediterranean food spot for a long time.. This one by far has been the best spot in Oceanside I've tried. I got the Chicken Tekah Kabob Entree with Tabouli salad instead of the greek and OH MY GOODNESS.. I've never been more satisfied with a plate. Their serving sizes are absolutely huge for a great price- and Pita is included, no need for an extra charge. They are all very sweet in there, service was super friendly and very welcoming. Hearing the workers laugh and bond while making your food is always a great sign. I highly highly recommend this spot. read more

We recently got takeout from here and it was sooooo good! The steak, chicken, and shrimp in the platter for 2 was delicious! Their hummus is also really fresh. Will definatley order takeout from here again. read more

Maan's is hands down one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in North County. Their food is delicious, service is friendly, and prices are reasonable. I had a chicken kebab sandwich and let me tell you that is was amazing! My mom ordered the gyro sandwhich and it was packed with meat! Their tabbouleh is great as well. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other signature dishes. read more

Good was amazing!!! Great portions! They have fresh healthy food! They delivers and it was still hot!

Good overall food. Better than many other takeouts. Small dining room but never ate inside. Nice owners/operators.

Huge wrap that was filling! The packaging was secure which I appreciated because wraps can fall apart very easily. I ordered the Shawerma Steak Wrap and it was delicious. What separates this wrap from others is the yellow Mediterranean pickles and the Sumac herbs which are two things I have never had before. I had to look up what sumac was and it sometimes gets confused with a poisonous plant! I now want to try their other wraps because I bet they are just as good! read more

Takeout order was very delicious, and staff very friendly. Great selection on the menu.

I absolutely adore Maan's food. I always order the Chicken Tekeh platter with the add-on of grilled tomato and onion. Yum! Love the rice with the sautéed almonds for texture, hummus is delish, tzatziki sauce adds a flavorful accent. (Bonus that they're less than 5 minutes from my home). read more

Maans always hits the spot!!! Good service good cooking and a wonderful atmosphere. A place my family will always frequent.

Idk I wasn't impressed. Got the beef shawarma plate and it was overall bland compared to some other places I've had. They need some better sauces or something to go on top. Their hummus also isn't great, and that's obviously a staple in this type of food. The only thing I did like was the dolmas. There are better Mediterranean food spots near by to get! read more

We went to this place twice and had a good experience. Food was tasty and filling. I got their gyro plate both times. It was very delicious and satisfying. Meat was cooked to perfection, soft and tender. I also really liked the side hummus and side salad. Salad dressing was really good, I got some more for my plate. My husband had falefal sandwich and a plate at different times and they were really good. Everything in combo appetizers were also really good. It's a self service place with friendly staffs. I think we'd go back if we are around the area. One thing we've noticed is every time we went there they were out of hand soap in bathroom. They did have sanitizer outside but for a food restaurant they can't slack in such important aspect. read more

Used Maan's for a catering event for 35 people. I felt that Maan's really cared about providing great service from ordering recommendations to pick up. Food was ready as requested and packaged for easy transport to the event. Although it was an active evening murder mystery event, plenty of food was enjoyed throughout the night. The Maan's special salad was a huge hit with only a small portion left at the bottom of the bowl. We ordered the Tekah chicken and grilled vegetables. The chicken was delicious, fork tender and plenty! And, not a grilled vegetable was left over! We had a lot of basmati rice and pita bread left over due to the enormous amount provided. We highly recommend Maan's Mediterranean Grill for a great, tasty and seamless catering experience. read more

We had this restaurant cater lunch at work on Friday and it was SO good! Everyone seemed happy and I could've eaten the food all day! I was in the area the next close to the restaurant and needed lunch. So I went there very excited to have another delish dish from there. The waiter at the counter was big the friendliest, at all. But not a big deal to me. I ordered a wrap and was thinking to ask if a dip came with it or check but I did not. I wish I would've since it was so bland and didn't have a lot of hummus or oil on it. I was so disappointed. I would try this place again but a different dish, for sure. read more

Positives: Looks like everything is made fresh to order. Food was good, but not what I would call great. Bottled water is on the house. Negatives: Staff was very stand offish. Most people get their food to go, not very appealing decor. They advertise baked pies, but they don't actually offer anything like that. Not sure if it was good enough to come back. Just meh. read more

Let me start by saying the women in this place work hard. There was a guy that stood and watched them work. He looked to be either the owner or some type of unkept manger. Reason for the one star was simply because he dropped the lid to the rice on the ground picked it up a proceeded to put it back on the pot without washing it off. He did not see me watch him do it; however looked damn guilty when he turned around realizing I may have seen his unsanitary action. As far as the food, it could have been better regarding the plating and flavor. Needless to say, I would not return read more

Maan's Mediterranean Grill - Guy who dropped rice lid on floor didn't hesitate putting back on rice pot. He looked down entire time we were there - Mediterranean Near Me - Oceanside, California

This was pretty underwhelming to be honest. All the sauces taste the same, the baba ganouj and hummus taste exactly alike, even though you can see the spruces on the gyro meat and chicken you can't taste any. The dolmas was the best part but not enough to convince me to come back. Service was good, the restaurant itself is cute but the parking sucks. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. I called at 1:56 and placed an order to be picked up at 2:30. I arrived and paid for my order at 2:27. The man said that the cook was finishing my order. Ten minutes later I asked how much longer. He said he was packing it right now. Instead he brought food out to a dine-in customer. Food was not completely done until 2:45. If you want food in a timely manner this is not the place to go. Dine-in customers looked like they were waiting for quite some time as well. The person at the counter did not even seem apologetic. I asked for my tip back and he tried to throw in a two piece baklava. I don't even eat that. Horrible service. I won't even comment on the food. The horrible service is not worth it. read more

Place had no ambiance never seen a smile a welcome or thank you . Food was average. Expensive

Food is good, review mainly for the garlic-mayo sauce which tastes more mayo than garlic, it used to be more garlicky and better before

Besides the salty food, the owner is one salty human. I've lived in Oside near Temple Heights my whole life, so I remember when this center and Maan's first opened. I've been a bunch of times back then because there weren't many alternatives. I stopped going because the fat, bald, pale owner is such a douchebag. All the times I went in, he was never polite, but OK, I understand. I'm here to eat, not bother him with conversation. My final time going was when I asked if I could have an extra sauce, he said yes. I didn't get the extra sauce once I had the food. I asked again and he said it would be an extra fee, so now I have to pull my credit card out again? After that lie, I decided I would take my business to the newly opened Pita Guys in the plaza over. Unfortunately, I had to go back to this cold, unfriendly, smelly dump for a DoorDash pickup. (I saw his hardworking Mexican employees working hard per usual, but they don't seem to enjoy working for such a crap boss). While I'm waiting, another driver comes in and asks "Could I use your restroom while I wait for the order?" The rude, fat, bald, pale owner says "No. It's for customers only." I've never been good at minding my own business, so I ask, "Can you let the guy use it? He's a human being just trying to piss." The owner lies, his MO, "I'm just the cashier. I don't make the rules." Rightttt. I say "That is so F'd up of you." He says "Why don't you go down to McDonald's? They won't let you use their bathroom either." What a lame response from this jerk. I leave and forgo this order. As God/Fate/Luck would have it, my next order is for McDonald's on Oside blvd. I swear on my chihuahua's life this happened. I took a screenshot when it happened because I couldn't believe it. I drove over to pick up the DoorDash order and asked McD's "Could I use your bathroom as a delivery driver?" 'Oh, yeah, you don't need a coin anymore. Our bathrooms have been open for a while now. Go ahead... don't hold it." THE PERFECT RESPONSE FROM MCDONALDS LOL If I never received this McD's order, I probably would never have written this review. But, thanks to Ronald McDonald, now I want the fat, bald, pale, mean owner of Maans to see this and know that he's a REAL CLOWN. read more

Solid Mediterranean fare overall. I knocked it back a star because many menu items have no prices on them. Apparently there was a price increase, which I understand. But you need to let customers know how much things cost. The garlic sauce tasted more like garlicky mayo than real Lebanese style garlic sauce. Otherwise, the chicken shawarma and rice was tasty, and the babaghanouj was excellent. The chicken kebab was just ok. Definitely check out the babaghanouj! read more

YUM. I have eaten here a few times but this last time I had doordash deliver the food right to my door. Compared to other Mediterranean places their prices are lower, and the portions seem to be bigger. Great bargain. They are in Oceanside and easy to get to, there is some parkign up front and they are in a little strip mall. I ordered the burger about $6. Tasty. Moist. Not overcooked, not well done, closer to medium well. I asked for some of the toppings to be put on the side and they accommodated me very nicely. I also got the Shawarma Steak Jumbo Fries, about $11 or $12. A heaping mound of crinkle cut fries smothered in a tasty sauce. Very filling and delicious. I also got the Maan's Special Chicken. Abotu $13 but plenty of food. If you are craving Mediterranean food, give them a call. read more

First time trying this place and I ordered the Gyro Supreme Bowl and a side of Greek Pita Bread to go. I ordered directly through their website as it was much cheaper than ordering through UberEats. Overall I thought the bowl was good. Decent portion and well priced. The Greek Pita Bread was nothing special. I intend on going here again. read more

It's like seeking the diamond in the rough. After spending some time in Bahrain, I had been introduced to the wonderful treasure called a shawarma. I may have been slightly obsessed with it enough to gain a little weight over in the Middle East. But, man, was it worth it. Anywho, I've been searching for local Mediterranean restaurants that serves shawarma - not just ANY shawarma, mind you. This had to be what I was introduced to overseas. That is definitely hard to find in the US. After many a months searching, I finally stumbled upon Maan's on my way home. Let me tell you, after walking in, I felt welcomed. Even though I walked into their restaurant 30 minutes before it opened, I was greeted warmly. I, of course, agreed to wait until everything was ready. But, I was totally cool with it. Once they were ready, I was already ready for my order. I did not have to wait too long before my hot, fresh rolled up yummy goodness was served beautifully like a work of art. I was afraid to touch it. Unfortunately, it had to come to an end. As soon as I took a bite of my beefy roll-up, I envisioned a scene from the movie, "Ratatouille". The shawarma nearly made me cry. Actually, I almost did after I gorged myself. It was as if I had forgotten my manners... THAT... was the best shawarma I've had since my trip to Bahrain. It was so delicious, that I had ended up buying another one to go. I have no self control... it was WORTH it! So, after rambling on so much about my shawarma obsession, I give this place 5 stars -Not JUST because of the delicious shawarma. Because, they have a great team, and a nice atmosphere. And they take their time to deliver the best fresh food. read more

Besides the Baba ghanoui, I was not a fan. The filet was chewy and hard to cut and the flavor was meh. For a $74 meal and high reviews I expected more. The menu was covered with ripped papers and maintenance issues inside. They have about 30 different bottled drinks to choose from. Lots of parking. By ihop off college. read more

This place was great! Very authentic Mediterranean food, and it was absolutely delicious. I ordered the chicken entree and added falafel, it came with rice, salad, pita bread, and 3 sauces that I have never tried before but they were great and very flavorful. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had excellent char on them. The falafel was delicious, probably some of the best that I've had. I could tell they were made from scratch with fresh ingredients. The rice was very unique I really enjoyed the large portion they gave me and the flavor was excellent. The pita bread also tasted home made as well. Food was really great, the hummus was a bit bland but I really enjoyed the other sauces I received. I had never had anything quite like them. I can't wait to try more of the menu, definitely a place worth trying if you want some authentic Mediterranean food! read more
