    5. Fish Kabob
    Maria D.

    I LOVE their Salmon Kabob!! Been here twice now and the Salmon is cooked just right. It is moist, juicy and oh so tasty. Marinated in citrus, saffron and herbs, it is very flavorful! The salmon kabob plate also comes with Basmati rice, salad and a grilled tomato. My hubby has so far gotten the special of the day which has been a Monday special and the Thursday special since those were the days we went there. We also ordered an Eggplant appetizer called Kashk Bademjan. Everything was tasty and flavorful! We would like to try to come here on the other days of the week and so can try the specials on the other days. Service was good. The restaurant is small and has a casual vibe.

    The beef kabob. Weird rubbery texture and no flavor. Rice was dry...not worth $16.00

    Faiz, the counter boy was not what you want to greet your first time customers, who were personally invited by Amir to dine in his restaurant. I asked a few questions and instantly he was exhausted and irritated. He refused to explain the flavors or spices on the dishes. The food was...okay. we ordered it to go - the salad was a few bits of lettuce and some weird french dressing with unidentified herbs.We also ordered the beef kabobs. They smelled good but there was no flavor and the texture was very rubbery...The rice was extremely dry with no flavor. Faiz completely dismissed me asking for Amir. Faiz braggingly told me he would also give me a discount off the bill. He gave me 1 dollar off...?? That in itself was an insult. First experience and it was an epic fail!

    Juicy flavorful and super tender chicken kabob.

    The chicken kabob was out of this world!!! So tender, juicy, and flavorful. Here's a pro tip on how to eat Persian kabob. Take the char grilled tomato and mash it up on the rice, add some sumac powder and mix together and enjoy with the perfectly grilled chicken or beef. Can't wait to come back and try their daily specials. By far best quality Persian food in the Poway, RB, PQ, Mira Mesa area. The owner / head chef came out to greet us. They had hot tea available. Place was pretty empty when we got there but they've only been open for like a week. Beyond excited we have such good Persian in the area now.

    Found another gem. And its so close to home. Easy to find and lots of parking. I suggest come soon before they realize they can charge more for their yummy cuisine.

They have a grill and bakery that was extremely busy. The meat and cheese department looked really nice as well. Again, their features cater to Persian, Iranian and Mediterranean cooking. The purpose of my trip was fruit and produce. Wow! Their displays were full with beautiful looking fruits and produce. Their prices are a little higher than Stater Bros., Vons, Sprouts, Aldi or Walmart but the FRESHNESS and QUALITY makes paying a few cents more an easy thing to do. The store was extremely crowded as I was shopping on a Saturday. I look forward to coming back during the week and spending more time going up and down all aisles to discover everything they offer.

Ordered chicken shawarma and beef and chicken shawarma plates with a dolma appetizer. I received two beef and chicken shawarma plates, a little annoying since the wife didn't want beef, but whatever. Dolmas are covered in some weird, gross looking sauce. I couldn't tell if it was congealed fat or what? They tasted fine though, I suppose. Nothing special, but average. Beef and chicken shawarma plates came without any sauce...like a classic garlic sauce or tahini. Made the meal VERY dry, as the meat was dry. Overall flavor was good though. Overall 3/5 stars. With a garlic dip, probably up to 4 stars for sure.

Inside the restaurant, there are plenty of seating and there is also outdoor seating. I ordered the Gyros Plate for takeout which came to $28. Evan was kind enough to provide an extra tzatziki sauce and utensils when I asked. One thing I found surprising was the 3.89% credit card fee so bringing cash would be a better option. The portion of the gyro meat was generous, but the pita bread and the rice portions felt a bit small by comparison. The gyro meat itself was very salty which lead me to reach for water throughout my meal. The rice pilaf was flavorful and ended up being my favorite part of the plate. Unfortunately, the Greek salad was dressed with too much vinaigrette making it soggy and slightly unpleasant to eat. The olives tasted old and had a bad aftertaste. The tzatziki sauce is also very watery. For the price of the meal and my experience, it didn't meet my expectations. The food quality felt short and I don't plan on returning. This will be my first and likely my last visit.

    I've been a regular at Grill House Cafe ever since a friend (who shall remain shamed--Farzad the…read moreGreat--for keeping it a secret for so long) finally introduced me to this incredible spot. While I used to come weekly, I now make the trip monthly since moving--and it's absolutely worth every mile. The star of the menu for me is the beef koobideh--juicy, perfectly seasoned, and consistently delicious. The quality of the food here is excellent across the board, and the flavors have made me a genuine fan of Persian cuisine, which I didn't grow up with but now count among my favorites thanks to this place. The service is always warm and attentive, adding to the welcoming, casual atmosphere. As a small but appreciated touch, the NHL Network is often playing on the TVs--something that makes the experience even more enjoyable for hockey fans like myself. Grill House Cafe is one of those rare finds that combines authenticity, great value, and friendly service. I now eat here more than the friend who introduced me to this fantastic restaurant. Highly recommended

However, I also ordered the bottled carbonated doogh (a yogurt drink) and was given a bottle that said best by January 2025 even though I ate here May 6, 2025. I did ask for the bottle to be taken off my tab and the elderly gentleman who was serving us agreed, but also said "for yogurt this doesn't matter." I realize that best by dates and expiration dates are differently, but I expect a bit more from a restaurant. I personally would hesitate to return. I also found the TV blaring to be a little distracting.
