Mitra's Cafe - YEEET - Sandwiches Near Me - Murrieta, California

Love this place. I won't say it's the best food I've ever eaten, but it is good, the prices are very fair and the owner is so very nice, polite, and seems to really know how to run a business in a good descent way. What really sold me was the sign outside of his establishment where it states, " if your hungry come in and we will feed you for free " (not exact wording). I was very impressed by that as sadly you don't see many business owners like this these days. It sold me and my kids and we go there often now :) read more

Mitra's Cafe is literally my favorite place. I love the Chicken koobideh and also the poblano soup! I think it has great flavor and the basmati rice is tasty as well. Other things I have had are the Filet Mignon and the boneless chicken sooo good. It also come with a grilled tomato with salt and pepper with shirazi salad and yogurt. I recommend the Sumac seasoning on the rice!!! Mini macaroons are good too i get the green and pink ones i forgot the flavor names. read more

After being a regular customer for about 8 years, today was my final visit. My mother had ordered takeout and when we got home the order was missing a meal, and several of the other meals had errors. We called and the owner was very rude and denied making any mistakes. I went back to pick up the food and spoke to him in person. He called us liars and stated that we hadn't ordered the missing meal. We showed him the receipt and he refused to look at it. He proceeded to demand a second payment for the missing meal. We will never spend another dime at Mitra's cafe. Such horrible customer service and actual insults from the owner of the business. read more

Mitra's cafe is soooo good! I enjoy the kabob special.. both the beef and chicken are so tasty but the chicken is my fav! Basmati rice is also my jam! On top of that , the owner Max, is an amazingly wonderful person.. I would highly recommend this place ... read more

First time here and absolutely loved the food. I ordered the gyro plate and filet mignon plate. Both were superb and the hummus was fresh and delicious. Will definitely come back. read more

Good food, good prices, if you want Greek then check it out. I had the filet mignon and lamb shank. I think they add dill to their sauces and rice which I love. read more

My go-to place for kebabs. The owner is very nice. The food is always good. And the specials can't be beat in terms of what you get for the price. read more

Great lunch deal $4.99 for a beef kebab koobideh (which is a ground beef kebab- Persian style) which comes with rice and a side salad. We had the fries too which were good but the portion was a little small . Great place to go ,friendly staff read more

After a horrific experience with Los Primos around the corner we came upon this cafe at 10 pm with the open sign still lit. The sign on the door said open till 9 pm but I was able to open the door. Anyways, he was very accomidative and knew the ingredients in all items in the menu. The food? FABULOUS! DELICIOUS! There is one other Persian place in San Diego that compares. Oh... And good portions! read more

This place serves Persian sandwiches along side regular deli sandwiches and burgers and fries. This place seems new but everything seems fresh. You also get 10% discount if you pay cash. I had the beef kabob wrap and it was excellent. Nice friendly place. Give it a try. read more

Stopped here to get a quiet meal instead of Panda Express next door, which was crowded and noisy. Service was fantastic and the food was excellent. Had the Koobidah beef, which was basically ground meat, grilled and placed on flat bread with rice and a grilled tomato. Delicious! Came with a yogurt sauce that complimented the beef quite nicely. Owner came out and gave me some fried rise, which were kind of like little chips made from fried rice, excellent with the yogurt sauce. I try and eat at locally owned restaurants whenever possible, and this is a new one on my list. Will return again instead of going to the chains. read more

DENIED SERVICE BECAUSE OF MY SERVICE ANIMAL. I am a Afghanistan Veteran. I asked if there was a specific reason why and he stated that his customers were afraid of her (Labrador mix). He wouldn't answer me. When read the American Disabilities Act he laughed. If you would like to hear the discussion, I'd love to show you. I have him blatantly answering the question "So you're denying me of service because of my service dog?" with a loud, blunt and clear "Yes!" Never going there again and I hope you think about this before supporting his business. read more

Great food, excellent service. Their kabob and rice plates are delicious. Good variety of menu food to choose from.

Good food not the best attitude but you can tell food is seasoned correctly and fresh. Ordered as delivery I'm assuming owner did delivery he was a little bit soup nazish but the quality of the food made up for it. Will be ordering again. read more

Mitra's Cafe - Bomb - Sandwiches Near Me - Murrieta, California

I absolutely love this place. Its convenient and affodable. The heart and healthy options the serve are the best. The food is great. Personally, I order the h&h chicken wrap, along with a recovery protein shake. This place is also great because they deliver. You cant beat that, and its free! Definitely recommend this place. Try it out, and enjoy. read more

This restaurant is fair. Decent quality food although somewhat bland. Clean atmosphere and friendly service. Its downfall is that it has a limited Persian menu with basically Koobideh and Kabobs as its only foreign items. Disappointing because I was expecting a full on Persian dining experience. Should be titled Mitra's American Diner including two Persian dishes. read more

Cute little cozy Persian Restaurant in Murieta. Food is good, staff are very friendly & cost is more than reasonable. They also deliver. We had beef kabab & it was delicious. read more

Really love this place! Has an option for every time of the day... Coffee and breakfast or a cheap easy dinner. So much better than fast food around! read more

We recently moved from San Juan Capistrano where we had our favorite Middle Eastern restaurant. We we pleased to have discovered Mitra's while next door at Panda Express. We came by the next night and were " greeted" by a humorless gentleman who I'm guessing is the owner. He took our orders not interested in us at all, he proceeded to make our 2 chicken kabobs. Looking around this place it's hard to tell what they specialize in...is it food, coffee, diet aids, groceries? It's a few steps away from being a full on 7-11. Anyways, Mr. Grumpy brought us our food and was back behind the counter where he got into a very heated argument on the phone, with a previous customer...right in front of us, facing us...very awkward, absolutely no concern with our comfort level in his restaurant. He was raising his voice, arguing with said customer who obviously wasn't happy with his/her order. There was no apology or attempt at understanding or compromise just, "no you are wrong" and told the caller point blank " I don't care what you write it doesn't matter, do whatever you want, I don't care". Now, I'm assuming the customer on the phone was indicating that a Yelp review was going to reveal their unpleasant experience but this business owner was simply NOT INTERESTED!! Oh well, the chicken was beyond dry, rice was very good and we will not be returning....ever!! We sat there thinking just eat the food...don't piss him off...jokingly of course but seriously, we aren't going to support any business who could potentially treat us the way that last customer was treated. There are plenty of restaurants in Temecula to choose from and we will take our business there. read more

Ordered the gyros and chicken kebob. Gyro had good flavor but left all of us still hungry. Mostly pita.... the chicken kebob was like a nasty yellow mush on a plate. No one ate it went in the trash. read more

Mitra's Cafe - Chicken kebob looks nasty tastes worse - Sandwiches Near Me - Murrieta, California

There was a kabob special for $3.99 and I guess you get what you pay for! It wasn't a kabob it was rather a tasteless hamburger that made the McDonald's .99 burger seem like it was Kobe beef! It was plain awful! On top of that there was no sauce & when I asked he said the meat was seasoned!!! Never again. I think that is why they have to price it as such because Suckers like me go there! It was totally empty. Hmmm I wonder why. Sorry to be so negative but people deserve better! read more

Love the cleanliness of the place and also love the Koobideh beef and the kabob wrap......yogurt in wrap really good too

I get the chicken club sandwich and breakfast sandwich add spinach tomato and onion. Sooooo good. I love the mini burgers with everything on them as well. Friendly staff. read more

Mitra's Cafe - Breakfast sandwich on wheat with ham add spinach tomato and onion. Under $5 out the door. So good. - Sandwiches Near Me - Murrieta, California

I have an gluten allergy. Unfortunately, I have to write a bad review. I expressed that I had a gluten allergy prior to ordering and I asked if the chicken kabob and rice was gluten free. The older man( I believe to be the owner or manager) said these iTems were gluten free. My kabob was served on top of piece of pita bread of which I didn't know until a few bites in. Also there was a piece of green string in my rice. My kids had burgers and fries. That seemed fine, besides the fact the the ketchup containers were dusty and falling apart. I informed the waitress of my complaints and I asked her if the pita was gluten free and she said "I don't know." She didn't offer an apology or a refund. I got the feeling that , asking for gluten free food was an issue. I have an allergy to gluten and a condition that requires me to have a gluten free diet. Gluten give me cramps and my eyes turn red. I'm disappointed. I have been wanting to eat here for weeks. I thought it would be a better experience. read more

Persian food! One of my favorites places to eat in Temecula. Love that they know what I want when I walk in. Because, I come here so often! Thanks Nick! Good food and really nice guys! read more

My review is based only on the $3.99 kabob special (chicken), which is the only thing I've had. On the positive side, the price is right, unfortunately the taste...not so much. I guess you get what you pay for. You get one kabob, which has an odd taste...not bad, just different. Heavily seasoned and had the texture of ground chicken instead of pieces of chicken.The salad is just a small scoop of lettuce with little, bland dressing/oil?? You get a strip of lavash-type bread and rice. The rice was the only thing I liked. I've never had Persian food, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I have had awesome middle eastern food (Sultan Cafe) and this didn't even come close. Maybe I'll give it another shot and try something else off the menu... read more

Great place to eat they are family and polite I recommend this place is delicious mediterranian and american food read more

Not what I expected at all. I saw the sign said kabobs and was disappointed by the selection on the menu. That's what brought me in so that's what I ordered. Even more disappointing, I didn't think you could mess up kabobs but apparently you can. My chicken kabob was super dry and tasteless. As was much of the rest of the plate. To top it off the girl at the counter looked like she hated her life, like we were bothering her by even ordering food. We walked out wishing we had gone to the place next store to get wings or even the Panda Express. read more

See all

This place is TERRIBLE! They should be reported and shut down. There door was opened sign with red lights said open. It's around 2pm on Thursday, I walk in with my mask on take two steps in door, the owner has his cell phone to his ear talking, walks towards me said no no get out I am on the phone. I wish I was exaggerating, I wish this was candid camera. It was real, this happened. He closed the door after I stepped out. I stood there stunned with a look of disbelief this just happened. Now I thought I am in a new car so I don't look homeless? I am dressed with a visor on and a Nike tennis outfit so don't think it's my appearance? There are cameras in that shopping center that will show this really happened! And even if I was homeless that's no way to treat anyone. Also you have a license with the state and city to operate your business hours are posted on your door!? Don't have your door opened and your sign on that says opened if your taking personal calls that preclude you from operating your business. If the Health department came to inspect your cafe would you do the same to the get out no no I am on the phone? Shame on you!! read more

Ummmm kabob I was assuming actual chicken kabobs, not a wierd ground up meat... came here to try for the first time, and will not be back. Also tried the beef kabob, but flavor was a gross ground up something. Not sure why the good reviews. Bummed out wasted $30 read more

They're awful. They left out items in my meal, and when GrubHub called them to have them send it out, they just didn't answer the phone. Now, GrubHub is calling the next day. My options are this: get redelivered pita bread or nothing. Terrible customer service. Rude. Never ordering from them again. I hope GrubHub stops working with them. read more

I thought my food was great. The owner/operator is a very kind man and has a sign outside the restaurant that if you need food but are unable to pay, to please come inside. That sort of generosity is rare. I loved my wrap, the pita was delicious, and I'll definitely go back again. read more

Great food,if you like Persian food you better try this place. The ghorme sabzi stew was awesome. read more

Mitra's Cafe - We were here for our first time, great food we loved it, definitely come back again. - Sandwiches Near Me - Murrieta, California

Food was alright but the gentleman who answered the phone screwed up my order and got mad at me because he couldn't understand me. Wont be going back! I ordered fries and got rice...came back with fries and wanted the rice back. My question...does he expect to resell? Gross.... read more

Yes! Finally a proper Persian-food place in the Temecula/Murrieta area! Their kabobs are simply delicious and the special for $ 3.99 is simply unbeatable. Also, their fries are the best tasting ones I have had in the entire Riverside county area; AND: they taste CONSISTENTLY great! Love to pick up food from here for a quick meal for myself or the family. read more

This small hideaway serves delicious food! My family and I have been going here for about 3 years. Very reasonable and clean. Children's menu read more

I've been coming here occasionally for a couple years now, and I've always loved the food! They advertise a Special outside of the restaurant, and it's my favorite thing! It's a little small compared to most American sized meals, but it has always been enough for me especially for the price! For comparison, I decided to order their full-sized beef plates instead once, and I struggled to finish it. The food here is delicious and I keep coming back! read more

We have been coming here for years and like everything they serve. The beef skewer wraps and kabob special are a great value and very delicious. The rice here is fantastic! Their prices are great and all the food tastes really fresh and natural. Don't forget to ask for the sumac seasoning. That's the secret! For dining in, the place is always quiet with cool tunes playing in the background. The food is just good... read more

Food - 3.5 Stars Decor - 3.5 Stars Overall - 3.5 Stars Nice little Persian style cafe with really good food. I ordered the Falafel dinner plate because its hard to find a decent one in the area, noticed the falafel has a distinct and different curry flavor and color to it. My only issue is that the bread tastes store bought, and is cut into really small triangular sizes. While convienent for kids, its mildly annoying if you're not. You cant scoop up large falafel, make a smaller wrap, or do anything because they are simply too small. They have good tzatziki sauce;There is also a smaller dessert area that looked promising. read more
