    58. Chicken Kabob Plate and 63. Gyros Plate
    Rick D.

    I eat here often. The food is next level, fresh, delicious, always on point. From the chicken kabob plate, my favorite, the wraps, always easy and tasty, the baba ganoush and tabouleh, so fresh and delicious, the Kufta, blended perfectly, to the pizza. In my opinion halal foods taste better, don't know why just do. The veggies are crisp fresh. Service is counter-serve. Such a humble, quiet place and so under the radar. I can't understand why they're not packed daily. I never have any complaints, delicious!

    Stop by for dinner order pepperoni pizza and two order of fries. The pizza was on point and the fries just right. That's for the ambience lots of seating and lots of windows. It's a nice place. And for the service really great people in the back prepping the food.

    First time to order here through DoorDash, I like their food, so tasteful, it's also affordable price per combo, will definitely order again.

    Chicken shawarma plate 4/5

    This place has been rock solid in all my visits. Although they have been wildly spaced apart, nothing has changed a bit. Consistency is totally important, and they get this. It sure has been nice to see a worthy Mediterranean spot thriving after all these years. It all started a decade? ago with the pizza, at the time the new spot nearby with the great value. I felt it was a healthier style of pizza, with and thinner crust, less cheese and heavy toppings. However, I do remember if you order pepperoni on your pizza, it is beef pepperoni. This will be different tasting of course, and have ordered mostly veggie options since. I believe a large 2- topping pizza is an ongoing deal for only 7.99. Over the years, we moved on to falafel, hummus and the shawarma platter which have all been tasty and prepared well, my favorite being the hummus. For sure, I'm no hummus guru, but among the many(10 at least)I've tried, it is the best I've had! Amazingly smooth and creamy, with a slight nutty flavor that's unparalleled. I make sure I have extra pita bread at the ready to finish it off the following day.. Next up, the desserts and baklava. You will finish whatever you bite.. so tasty good. For some reason, I never posted pics of any of these it appears and I can only guess it was a dessert- first kind of day. Are you with me? A good incentive now is it's within walking distance for me- a plus too, since this is a new, fresh way to burn a few calories and save gas with the ridiculous prices we are experiencing.

    20. Chicken Kabob Salad

    This last time I went made me change my mind on not giving that 5th star. It's so good

    Great Mediterranean food! Ordered the Beef Kufta Kebab plate; comes with hummus, saffron rice, Greek salad, two beef kafta kebabs and a pita bread. I started with the salad; not sure what the dressing was on it but it was so tasty. The hummus was smooth and thick and was also delicious! The beef was very well seasoned and had so much flavor as did the saffron rice (my favorite). The staff was very friendly and helpful. Fantastic customer service! I definitely found my new 'Go To Place' for Mediterranean food in San Diego.

    22 - Gyros Salad and 41 - Spinach Pie. Delish!
    Erin F.

    I was visiting my home town of San Diego and was in La Mesa visiting a friend. I came across Mystic Grill and Bakery, which looks like it has been around for awhile. Which says something because so many restaurants couldn't survive Covid. The decor is quite plain, but the food was fabulous. I had the gyros salad, and what impressed me is that the salad was super crisp and fresh. And the gyro meet was plentiful and well-seasoned. The amount of dressing and feta was just right. Mediterranean is one of my favorite kinds of food, so I've had plenty of experience with it. And I was very impressed with Mystic. A variety of selections and homemade treats and hand pies (the spinach one was also delicious) made me wish this place was in Northern California.

For savories, I had the spinach and cheese bajeen, baba gannouj, and the lamb fatteh - all had a lot of flavor and tasted homemade. I love trying new foods so will have to come back with more friends and try other things on the menu. The downside of this place was being seated on the right side of the restaurant near the carry out section. This was the pit of despair. I noticed that most of the staff goes to the other end first, and as a result 4 tables got seated after us and all of them had food on their table before we managed to flag one of the staff. It was definitely busy in there but he replied that he was simply going in order, but apparently order or left side to right side instead of arrival. I recommend trying to get seated on the side w the stained glass windows for better service. Other than that, the experience overall was pleasant.

The moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted and asked if I wanted a table for one. I said no, I was hoping to order takeout, and she kindly invited me to sit at the bar while I looked over the menu. Right away, the atmosphere felt welcoming, beautiful, and relaxed. I ordered my food, sipped my water, and honestly didn't think I had ordered that much. Then she came out with multiple filled brown bags of food! First of all, the prices were amazing. Second... the food was TOP NOTCH and completely different from what I had the night before. Everything was packed with flavor without being overloaded with salt. Fresh, vibrant, rich, and incredibly satisfying. The waitress/hostess was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave great recommendations on what to try. You can tell the staff truly cares about the experience. I will absolutely be back the next time I visit San Diego again.

Every element felt thoughtfully prepared, balanced, and deeply satisfying without trying too hard. The standout for me was the biryani, comforting, and perfectly executed. But everything impressed. The tzatziki was bright and refreshing, the hummus topped with beef shawarma was rich and flavorful, and the ney classic plate was generous enough to easily feed two, maybe even three, without sacrificing quality anywhere on the plate. It was the perfect way to try a lot of their items at once and that one disappointed! What really says it all is that I am already looking forward to the leftovers, which is rare for me. This is the kind of place that stays with you, not just because it is good, but because you can feel the heart behind it.

    THE HALAL SHACK @ SDSU…read more This spot is located in East Commons at SDSU. For parking, I'd recommend P1, P3, or P4. Just keep in mind that parking isn't free, so make sure to check the SDSU website for updated rates before you go. I've always enjoyed coming to this spot since my freshman year. Everything is super flavorful and seasoned well, and I love how most of the menu is high in protein. I usually get their rice bowl with chicken, and then you can add whatever toppings you want. It reminds me of a mix between Chipotle and CAVA, but with more of a Mediterranean, healthier twist. Their rice bowls are my favorite. You can also get fries and build a fry bowl, or you can make a build-your-own halal wrap. They have a lot of options, which I like. The staff isn't the friendliest, and every time I'm there it feels a bit rushed, like you have to know exactly what you want right away. The portions are decent, not overly big. I wouldn't recommend asking for extra anything unless you're okay with paying more, because they definitely charge for every add-on. One thing that's a little annoying is that you can't get toppings on the side everything has to go directly into your bowl. Extras like avocado cost more, and the bowls already run around $17, so it's definitely on the pricier side. Prices are higher since it's on a university campus, so just be aware of that. The ambiance is good overall. It's located in a food-court style area, so you just get your food and sit anywhere in East Commons. It's a popular spot for SDSU students, so you'll definitely be surrounded by college students. Other than that, it's a great place, and I love coming here especially on days when I'm craving a healthier rice bowl.
