Really delicious chicken kebab and good pizza too. Very friendly and good customer service.

The food is fresh, cooked to order and reasonably quick. You can eat at the restaurant, it's a humble cafeteria style, usually not busy; but I like takeout from here. read more

Came in to grab some food. They have a couple different options. I got the chicken kebab plate. The portion size was pretty big. I like that the plate has a variety of carbs, proteins and salad. Flavor wise the food was good and Salad was fresh. Plenty of seating options inside and a small patio area. parking was a bit tight. read more

This place is DELICIOUS! Everything was cooked and seasoned PERFECTLY! Can't wait to be in the area again!

The food here is affordable and taste amazing . Highly recommend their chicken kabob plate .

I'm bothered by Mystic Grill and Bakery in part because they used to sell some of the best chicken tikka in the County, but now, it's over-spiced and over-cooked, and there's a better than even chance that while you're ordering or waiting to be served, someone behind the counter will look at you like you're ghayit. Weak tikka. Mediocre shawarma. Bland baked goods. Crappy service. It's sad to see a good place fall apart. The good news? There's little that you can buy at Mystic Grill and Bakery that you won't find done better - and served up with a better attitude - at The Grill at Vine Ripe, the Charcoal House (on the other side of Grossmont Hospital) or, if you have an extra ten minutes to drive to El Cajon, about fifty other places. In fact, now that Sagmani's is open again, and Saray has improved their kitchen staff, the only reasons I can see to eat at Mystic Grill are a) you live across the street; b) someone else is buying, or, c) your car broke down in their parking lot and you're waiting for a tow. read more

Their pizza is very special and it's halal so it's a plus. I also like their chicken shawerma and chicken tikka. read more

Daughter said "this is the best beef ever!" Food was fantastic and service was friendly! Portions are large too!

Good halal food. I ordered a pizza with olives and halal pepperoni and a pasta white sauce and everything came out good

Disappointed with my lunch. I used to eat here a lot because everything was really great. Today, I ordered a Gyro salad and wow, that was an expensive bowl of lettuce with hot meat on top. There was only a slight sprinkling of feta, 4 cucumber slices, and 4 pieces of tomato. Not even a single olive. They included 1 tiny container of dressing and also 1 tiny container of really runny tzatziki. This has gone downhill. read more

The food was fantastic, and the prices was reasonable wife and I would definitely return

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Mystic Grill & Bakery - Beef Kufta Kebab plate; comes with hummus, saffron rice, Greek salad, two beef kafta kebabs and a pita bread. - Pizza Near Me - La Mesa, California

Food: tasty falafel wrap (replace yogurt with hummus) and it comes with a side salad or fries. The wrap they use is like a burrito wrap, not a pita. Service: when I ordered I asked the girl if there was any sauce with dairy in the falafel wrap and she checked and said no. Shortly after we hang up, I get a call back from a gentleman saying there IS a sauce with dairy in it and he can replace it with hummus. Perfect! I was really impressed with this customer service! read more

The food is great. I love the place very clean. You should try it. Everybody friendly and no long Wait

Food & service were excellent. Large variety of dishes. I appreciated that. Delicious!

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. read more

Been craving a salad , I ordered the Shawarma chicken salad, first off what does that mean ? I suppose the cashiers should be trained , but unfortunately she was unable to explain ; however she was super nice . So the salad comes with the dressing already mixed in ! That's a no no for me . I like to toss my own salad ! Lol I think it's a Must that they ask if you want the dressing mixed in specially if it's To Go , I mean who wants a wilted salad by the time they get to work or home ? I wasn't crazy about the chicken it looks like it has dark meat mixed in with white meat . When I eat a chicken salad I want all white meat . So I wasn't crazy about that . I think the salad needed a little more veggies and definitely More Feta cheese . The feta cheese was scarce ! The place is clean and staff is super nice! read more

Good portion size! I can usually split one entree plate for two meals. I got the beef shawarma plate. There are quite a lot of onions mixed into the meat which isn't my favorite, but the meat is always cooked to perfection. Large-sized pita bread to go with the hummus which tastes very smooth and creamy. It was a bit busier than normal when I came around lunch time, but they were able to get my order ready in ~10-15 min! Very casual restaurant, seemed like most people were taking their food to-go/picking up. Parking out front is on a hill/at the corner of the block which can sometimes get crowded depending on time of day. Will be back again! read more

Mediterranean food is one of my favorites so I wanted to try this place, but I was disappointed. I ordered the chicken kebab plate. The pictures on their menu look great, the food looks good but the taste is not so good. Very bland, no seasoning. I tried making it taste better by seasoning it with dressings and other condiments but those were also bland. Not going back. read more

Mystic Grill & Bakery - Chicken/onion kebab plate with rice, salad, pita bread and humus - Pizza Near Me - La Mesa, California

This place is delicious! The prices are great for the portions and the food was really good. My husband ordered the chicken shawarma and he said it was good, but not the best. I ordered the falafel wrap and my boys ordered just a plate of chicken, rice and humus. We both loved it. My favorite part was their red sauce. It made the meal for me. I a huge fan of spicy, with flavor and this definitely hit the mark. Their baklava was good and I really liked their coconut cheese pastry...I forgot the name but it was good! The service was good too. The cashier was patient with me despite me taking a few minutes to order and adding a few things last minute lol. Parking was good too! read more

The place doesn't look to appealing from the outside but once you walk in the place is nice and clean great place to dine in the food is great I go all the time I definitely recommend read more

The food was good. I wish my gyro meat was hot & not luke warm (I ate it in my car immediately) and pita could have been soft and the other food temperatures were ok. The felafel was made to order but had to request the sauce that was to come with it. Picture of the sauce was deceiving tho (it showed 6pcs around a small syrup container like ihop) and I was given a tiny container of sauce and when I asked for another charged .54 cents. I mean how much is too much for falafel it's not a main course. The Falafel needs the sauce too especially with 6 pieces 6.99 and you can't order by the piece or a smaller portion which sucks....& then to be nickeled and dimed for an extra sauce is ridiculous ijs they said oh that's the special sauce...it wasn't that special ijs not to be rude but it was way over priced. read more

Service 1/5 Food 3/5 Phoned in an order was told by a not so friend woman that it would take 10-15 minutes. Arrived around the 15 min mark, checked in paid and was told couple more minutes. After 5 min the not so friendly worker advised that the chicken plate I ordered is all out and if I would like something else? Seriously? It took them now total of 20 min to tell me one of the plates I ordered is all out? So obviously still hungry and annoyed decided on a different chicken combo. Another 20 minutes go by and I finally received my order! While waiting I observed that the young lady working that night was only friendly to certain people while others she was not what I would call "customer service friendly". When she Finally gave me my order, there was no apology, not even a Thank you. I love to support local business but when me as the customer feels like I'm the one inconvincing the staff I'd rather spend my money where it's appreciated. read more

Service:: Great customer service, very kind people Ambiance:: it's pretty chill, no music inside but not noise. They have booths for sitting if you want to eat in and bathrooms as well. Food::: I always get pizza because it's fresh, simple and the pepperoni is beef. It's 9.99 for a whole pizza, plenty of toppings available. You can order online or on the phone (usually how I order to go). They have lots of desserts as well. I've been coming here for st least ten years. 10/10 would really recommend! read more

If you love Middle Eastern food, and you haven't eaten at this simple but wonderful place, you are definitely missing out. I have eaten here countless times and find the food consistently delicious, the service great, and the environment pleasant. They even have a nice dog -friendly outdoor patio. I often have their vegetarian plate which has great crispy falafel, and the best hummus, tabboulee, shakshuka, you've probably ever had. The way they do spanakopita is different, it's sort of a spinach turnover, but it's delicious, too. I have eaten theit chicken kabob plate many times, and it always comes accompanied by a delicious salad wonderful rice and hummus and pita. I don't know exactly how they marinate or season their chicken but it's always tasty, crispy and wonderful. The food is consistently good, and I believe this place to be the best Mediterranean restaurant in town at any price. The prices are quite reasonable here, though. Not fancy but consistently, reliably delicious and enjoyable. read more

Great good, reasonable priced and never disappoints! The chicken kabob is amazing! Go!!
