My husband and I have been coming here for quite a while now, and it has truly become our go-to spot for hookah, dessert, tea, and relaxing after a late-night event. Whether it's just the two of us or a group of friends, this place never disappoints. The service is some of the best you'll experience. No matter how busy they are, the staff is always attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. Recently, I believe we were assisted by the manager, and seeing him jump in to help his team while ensuring everything ran smoothly spoke volumes about his leadership. A great staff starts with great leadership, and it definitely shows here. 10/10 for service. While we don't typically come for dinner, we absolutely love their breakfast. Their Turkish-style breakfast is an experience in itself and is meant to be shared with friends and family. I've brought several people here for breakfast, and every single person has loved it. Most of our visits are for the hookah, desserts, and drinks. The desserts are all delicious in their own way--you really can't go wrong with whatever you order. My personal favorite drink, and the one I recommend to everyone, is the Sahlep. It's a warm, perfectly balanced blend of cinnamon and vanilla that pairs amazingly with hookah. Speaking of hookah, theirs is outstanding. The flavors are great, the setups are unique, and the bowls last for hours. I've spent 3-4 hours here and my hookah was still going strong. Some people may initially be surprised by the prices, but the quality, service, and overall experience absolutely justify the cost. This isn't just a place to eat or smoke hookah--it's an experience. As a loyal customer, I can honestly say this is one of my favorite places to unwind. I highly recommend giving it a try. Cheers! read more

The main reason for the 1 star is the shadiness of how they charge you. In case you don't go through the whole online menu they state they will automatically include an 18% tip to your bill. The shock came from the server in training automatically selecting an ADDITIONAL 5% when presenting the portable pay machine and didn't provide a final receipt when asked. That means a total of 23% paid in tip. The audacity bc the they hardly were serving us. We had to keep asking people other than our servers for items. Please check the machine before you sign to pay as they automatically pick an additional amount for you. Ahmet was the main server, but was training another lady. Not the best practices to pickup if you ask me. This and poor service are a couple of the reasons why I won't be coming back. Other reasons: they try to upsell you with additional items. Like hard. Examples are the dessert and this onsite professional photographers photos. There is one bathroom for each gender for the whole restaurant. There was a line for both bathrooms due to there not being enough. Food wise .... Overpriced. The dishes look good, but you can get the same or similar dish cheaper in El Cajón City and with more flavor. Combine overpriced and poor service there is no reason to come back. I will say one of the good things were the drinks. Although they don't serve alcoholic beverages they make up for it in beverage options and flavor. read more

Saw this place on social media so my friends and I had to try it. We made a reservation for outside, that was an option we were given when we made the reservation on Opentable. We got there when they opened and they told us outside was for hookah and the patio was being worked out. Kind of a bummer since what we saw outside was so big and nice. Instead we were told we had to sit inside, which was a lot smaller and dimmer. What we ordered: Turkish Breakfast - so good, so many ways to mix and match all the dips, spreads and cheese with the bread. Simit & Sucuk Board - a smaller board of a bagel like breakfast sandwich Waffle Board - can't go wrong with waffles Eggs on Sucuk - good portion Pistacchio Nero - yummy We loved the food... I had hunk our main problem was the service. It took awhile before someone took our order & they seemed bothered. After our food was given, we were never checked on again. Another group next to us, that came after us, had to flag someone down for their check and we can hear them saying how service isn't great here. Afterwards, we too had to flag down someone for our check too. The person who brought our check tried to seem as friendly as they could and kept saying sorry. Would we come back? I'm not sure. read more

Very disappointing experience. The service was poor, and the overall experience did not live up to expectations. The food was not impressive, especially considering the prices, and the staff did not seem very attentive or concerned about the customers. I expected much better and unfortunately left feeling that my money would have been better spent somewhere else. Hopefully management takes the feedback seriously and works on improving both the food and customer service. read more

AMBIANCE Elevated indoor and outdoor seating with hookah offered SERVICE friendly, although not attentive, and not quite helpful - I would have appreciated more frequent check-ins especially since there's an 18% automatic service charge.

DRINK 5/5 Chai tea latte - Steeped black tea brewed with cinnamon, cardamom, clove, and ginger softened with steamed milk and finished with brown sugar. 5/5 Serrano Sage - fragrant and flowery Anatolian sage and chamomile blossoms 3/5 Anatolian Citrus - tart, no ginger detected, more closely resembled the rose hibiscus as the tea turned purple FOOD 4/5 Roasted Almond Chicken - buttery chicken that could be more tender, roasted almonds, rice studded with dried grapes (dish was lukewarm) 2/5 Five lamb chops (not tender) (not glazed with pomegranate sauce) (not seasoned), served over potato purée (did not come with roasted asparagus and baby carrots) asked for the pomegranate sauce and was given balsamic vinaigrette read more

I had such a fantastic experience stopping by Tobac plus today. The staff here are incredibly nice and made me feel so welcome from the moment I walked in. I especially want to give a huge shoutout to Sultana for being so helpful and friendly. Unlike other shops, I never felt rushed to get out or pressured into making a quick decision. This is definitely my new favorite spot and I will be coming back again soon! read more

My first meal here was with their huge breakfast! Early 2025 after they had opened. I believe they served 14 items or so and unfortunately they no longer offer that. (my many pictures are missing from Yelp for some reason) Came back 2 more times with my brother and his wife and ordered so many items and did family style. (those photos are missing too) Couldn't be more pleased with the freshness of the food, the staff attitude and welcoming presence and the decor. No complaints at all, just wish it wasn't always so busy. LOL read more

Holy moly this place is a whole vibe. I attended a family style dinner with Yelp elite the other night and I have to admit the red carpet is rolled out for every guest that comes here from the minute. You walk down the side and see all the work that's gone into setting up the experience. I would say wonderful to take big groups. I would also say if you're on a chill evening and you wanna have a great place to talk it wasn't too loud you could hear conversations and it was open air I will definitely be visiting again when I'm in the neighborhood read more

Came for the Turkish breakfast, early on a weekend. Tons of seats and space. The spot is beautiful, simple and elegant. We were served each dish with grace and perfectly timed. The baklava frappe was sweet but not overly, it was perfect for the experience. We got the regular Turkish breakfast with zero add ons. The guy serving us explained everything and we loved it. Most spots in that area are just for Instagram pictures and to get "influencer" vibes. This spot felt low key but also high class and fun. We wanna go back with more people. The sesame bread 10/10, the dips also amazing. Come if you want something different to do. Reasonable price also. read more

Tabac Plus - Turkish brunch - Mediterranean Near Me - San Diego, California

11/10 Before I visited this establishment, I saw a few negative comments online that didn't seem to match the atmosphere I experienced while I was there. For starters, they do not serve alcohol, and some of the so-called "Yelp Elite" reviewers appeared to be in a rush and didn't seem to understand the cultural style of dining this restaurant represents -- especially at a place where hookah is served at almost every table. To other readers, I would encourage you to check the bios of people leaving those reviews and see whether they provide any meaningful reasoning beyond simply saying they didn't like it. Often, people with very little world travel find themselves in positions of influence online. As a well-traveled man in my 30s who has spent time in several countries across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and other regions, I can say this is an excellent place to branch out if you want to experience food from another culture. To yelp reviewers - If alcohol is your biggest concern, then you should probably go to a bar. Not every experience needs to feel like a rushed McDonald's visit. If you call yourself a Yelp Elite reviewer, you should at least have the palate and awareness to appreciate other cultures and dining styles or not allow your preferences to trash a business in the comments. Now to the actual review. If you would like to experience shisha (hookah) the way it was meant to be enjoyed, alongside flavorful Middle Eastern food rich with culture, polite staff, and an ambiance that feels like a high-quality outdoor lounge, this is the spot for you. The website is excellent, and you can easily make reservations ahead of time through Apple Maps or by calling. When you arrive, you're greeted at the entrance and politely escorted to a comfortable table. They even provide blankets on the chairs for when the temperature drops in the evening, along with standing fire pillars that keep the tables warm. Staff are very attentive and friendly. I tried several items on the menu and wasn't disappointed by a single one -- excellent quality, amazing flavor, and great presentation across the board. The food was so good that at one point I forgot to take photos to share with you all. I personally ordered and ate the Burrata Blossom, Kofte Hummus, and Kunefe. The non-alcoholic drinks are delicious. The hookah flavors are also great, with options for different liquid bases, fruit bowls, ice, and ice-tip hoses. If you're looking for great food and an outdoor lounge environment where you can have an intimate conversation while enjoying shisha, this is absolutely the place. I've spent a substantial amount of my adult life in the Middle East -- over a cumulative year -- experiencing different cultures and foods. This place genuinely captures the feeling of sitting in a restaurant in another country. I plan to visit again! 11/10 read more

Definitely come in for Happy Hour. A wonderful happy hour menu. Please note, no alcohol is served. They do have wonderful mocktails that even came out smoked. We started with the Tulum Garden salad with pops of pomegranate seeds, tulum cheese, and golden raisins to name a few ingredients. So fresh. Followed by Cig Kofte Rolls. My favorite of the night might be the Borek on Feta Flaky spinach börek served on a warm cloud of whipped feta and labneh, crowned with golden pine nuts Definitely will be back to try out the brunch and dinner menus. The service was friendly. Sitting outside with the greenery and soft cushions was perfect. read more

Returned here after my terrible experience trying to get in around when it was opening. Was really excited to have some Turkish food after just traveling to Istanbul. The menu is full of authentic Turkish dishes. Plates are on the larger side, and seam more created for sharing than as an entree. I had the Çökertme Kebabı which I did enjoy, though I felt like the meat flavor was a bit lost in the dish. Started off with yogurt soup which came for free. Not really my favorite, bit bland. We got a mezze platter to share which had 5 or so different dips, but oddly only came with 5 small triangles of pita. Not nearly enough to actually eat with the dip. We weren't able to flag any waiter down to actually ask for more pita. To note, there is no alcohol here, so don't come looking for that. Hookah is going to be prevalent, so come prepared to smell that as well. There are some interesting drinks on the mocktail menu. I went for one that was recommended, very cool presentation with glass and smoke, but it was really extremely sweet and also had glitter in it, which was not something I wanted to drink. Service was on the slower side and not much of an opportunity to ask for something if anything was missing. Took a long time to get our check and pay. Most of the restaurant is outside, so also keep the weather in mind. Overall I feel like there's still a lot of potential here, but I think the food, drinks, and service could still use some improvement. read more

Tabac Plus - $35 for this much meat - Mediterranean Near Me - San Diego, California

This place is so cool. So cool. Their restaurant is outside, but there are plenty of heated lamps so don't worry about it being cold. They also provide these cool red blankets per chair, so you can wrap it around yourself with it and keep yourself warm. As you walk in, you feel like youve been immediately transported somewhere in the middle east, on some beach front restaurant. Ambiance is amazing and decor is on point. Their hookah menu is EXTENSIVE; its even sectioned by flavors, like sweet or sour or savory. We ended up with the candy flavor. It was sweet and tangy, we loved it. The shisha's at this restaurant do a great job in starting it and maintaining it, often coming by to replace the coal. TRUFFLE CHICKEN: Grilled to perfection, slightly charred and so moist inside. You HAVE to get this. Their rice is also fluffy, and long grained I think because its chewy. I don't know what they mix with their rice, but the flavors are amazing. KOFTE HUMMUS: Great appetizer and it comes with fresh flat bread. Friendly service. This place is great for date nights, after work events or birthdays. read more

Food was incredibly delicious and very fresh and authentic. Service left a lot to be desired as we kept having to flag down our server and ask to order additional items and have our glasses refilled. The atmosphere is really cozy and welcoming and invites you to linger over your meal, but the sign on the menu will remind you that you need to vacate the table after 2 hours, which I found a little off and off putting. It's why I took off a star. read more

The food was good. The service was slow and we got some dishes that came with our entrees which confused me and my friends. The staff just brought it to us without explaining what it was. It was a yogurt dish. We didn't get a chance to ask ourselves because we were confused haha. The ambiance is really nice. Apparently you can smoke hookah while you're there too. It's located where the former carrot cellars used to be. It was a friend's birthday and they played a birthday song and gave us some dessert. They even gave her a small gift of tea which I thought was a nice touch. I loved that. read more

Came here to celebrate a wedding anniversary. The space use to be an urban wine tasting room. They have definitely revamped the space. The space itself is beautiful and very clean. We made a reservation on the website. came down a little early since parking in the area could be tough. We were seated prior our reservations planning to grab drinks before. Unfortunately they do not sell alcohol. They offer 3 mock-tails on the menu. Tea and coffee is also offered. I got the chicken plate my husband got the lamb plate. The dish itself was ok, I won't say it's worth the price though, 1 kabob and sides that includes rice, salad and thin pita. We got a variety of toppings such as pickled red onions, hummus just to name a few. Service was good. Got our orders delivered it and gave us our check. Nothing to rave about. Since it was our anniversary I thought we would get more energy from the waiter usually restaurants acknowledge these things when they have you put an occasion down on the reservation. Would i recommend probably not since we have so many options in SD. If you like hookah would be a spot to check out. read more

Tabac Plus - Dinner for 2 - Mediterranean Near Me - San Diego, California

We were so excited to try this place with our kids because, with açaí and waffle for two and Turkish breakfast for us, there was something for everyone. When we walked in we immediately loved everything about it- it's a gorgeous setting. We waited about 20 minutes for someone to check in with us once we were seated. We had to figure out for ourselves where the menu was (there was a breakfast menu hiding behind a fifa sign but it wasn't the whole breakfast menu, then I found a random QR code with the whole menu). No water. No napkins. No check in or anything for 20 minutes. Finally someone checked in with us. Once we ordered, the food came fast. But we still didn't get the water we had to ask for. No napkins- and when we asked about them, they pointed us toward these tinier than cocktail napkins in a little caddy on the table. The Turkish breakfast was delicious but 80 Dollars is a bit steep, especially with poor service. Kids loved the açaí for two. Our tea and coffee were delicious. But the table was wayyyyy too small for all of the tiny bowls and food that comes with it plus our drinks. I don't understand why you would serve food in this way without enough table room to really enjoy it. Then we sat forever waiting for someone to bring us the check. Not attentive at all. And then we couldn't determine the tip because, after all that, 18% gratuity was automatically included/expected. 180 dollars for breakfast for a family of four with poor service. They weren't busy at all either. Four tables had people sitting at them and the rest of the restaurant was empty. Didn't love it and we were super bummed about that. Sorry tabac+, you fell into yet another sad San Diego experience of a restaurant being pretty with good insta videos and a huge disappointment in person. read more

Amazing food and wow, what a beautiful place!! We did a walk in on a Saturday morning and we were able to get inside seats almost immediately. If you're looking for outdoor seatings, you'll probably need to rsvp ahead of time. The decor both inside and out were cozy and modern. We ordered the the Turkish breakfast for 2 and Arabic coffee for 2 and that was more than enough. If you go with 3 people the portion of food would still be enough, perhaps just order an extra shashuka (eggs). My favorite in the spread were breads and all of the jams and cheeses. The salty olive taste blend with the sweet jams and soft cheese created such a well blended balanced taste and finish that with the fresh vinaigrette tomatoes and cucumbers were quite refreshing and satisfying. Service was attentive and speaks quality. Parking can be challenging so we ended up parking at the of the Aces parking lot for $20. Overall amazing experience and I would definitely go again. read more

Love this new Turkish hookah lounge. The outdoor patio is stunning. You must reserve in advance or else it will be difficult to find a table. The food was solid, nothing special or extravagant but certainly noteworthy. We tried the dolma and borek on feta. Both were delicious, i would get the borek on feta again. Crunchy, creamy and flaky. Absolutely amazing. The entrees were... not impressive. Nearly $30 for a small amount of protein and mainly rice, salad, and some dips. Sure, flavorful, but note worth $30. The knafe was good but also not traditional as its served with ice cream. The cheese was stretchy which i appreciated. The hookah, at $32, is pretty steep in price when compared to other hookah lounges. However, the quality was very nice. I believe they use Al Fakher and quality "coconut" coals (iykyk). Therefore, if you consider the nice ambience and quality ingredients, it is worth splurging on the hookah. The staff is interesting.. they dont speak english very well and we often felt pressured to decide quickly as our waitress just stood and stared at us for awhile before we told her we needed some time to decide. Otherwise nice people, just interesting. Another downside is our coals were not exchanged frequently. We had to ask and despite that, it took a very long time to get new coals. This is unacceptable and common practice at any hookah lounge is changing the coals frequently as customers do not want to be inhaling burnt coal. With a few tweaks, this spot has amazing potential and despite the small setbacks I would definitely still come back! read more

4/5 Stars Vibe, flavor, and a touch of chaos We came to Tabac+ in Little Italy for a fun girl's night out and ended up having such a great time! The energy of the place is vibrant and stylish -- think moody lighting, luxe details, and a lively crowd that gives it a lounge-meets-Mediterranean-bistro vibe. We sat at the bar and ordered hookah, which definitely added to the overall experience. The food was incredible. We shared the truffle chicken and the borek, and both were standouts -- perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and plated beautifully. The menu leans toward upscale Turkish fusion, and you can tell everything is made with care. It definitely left us wanting more -- we're already planning a return trip for their Turkish brunch, which we've heard great things about. The only hiccup of the night was with our reservation. I had booked a table on OpenTable for 7pm, and when I called to push it back 30 minutes, the hostess told me they don't accept reservations from OpenTable -- even though I had the confirmation email. It was a bit confusing, and I was approached by several different staff members questioning the reservation's legitimacy. Thankfully, they were able to accommodate us and were very apologetic, but hopefully they get this glitch sorted out going forward. All in all, Tabac+ is a gem -- a great place to eat, unwind, and catch up over amazing food and hookah. The minor reservation mix-up keeps this at 4 stars for now, but the ambiance, dishes, and overall vibe make it well worth a visit. read more

My girlfriends & I went here for dinner & hookah. Beautiful outdoor dining with several tables inside too. They have so many servers & they frequently checked in on us. Very friendly service. Make sure to make a resy because although it was empty at opening, it was packed when we left. I have hookah'd a few times in the past but my friends frequently do it, so I let them take the reins on ordering. They have several fruit base options & we chose apple. They have a variety of hookah flavors & they vary by strength so if you do not hookah often, you will want a lesser option. Food was tasty. They serve mocktails only. read more

Tabac+ is a new higher-end combination business in Little Italy featuring a Mediterranean cuisine restaurant, cigar bar, and hookah lounge. Perhaps there were elevated expectations for the opening as several of the reviews were quite pointed. I came on a late night early in the week when it was not as busy. I still made a reservation using their website as a safeguard and didn't encounter any of the difficulties that some others had experienced. The hostess escorted me to a small table in the dining-only room of the facility which could seat a couple of dozen customers. On the way, we passed by the cigar smoking area which was a set of tables in an uncovered, outdoor patio and an indoor lounge which had both dining and hookah vaping capabilities. A coffee/tea bar was across from where I was seated. A QR code was provided at each table to access the menu. Appetizers, pinsa, entrees, and desserts were the food categories. The Cig Kafte Rolls were my pick for a starter. Six pieces of a roll containing bulgar, pomegranate, mint, and spices were wrapped inside a sumac-brushed lavash (flatbread) and sliced like sushi. A sauce was drizzled on top to add more flavor. It was a unique combination for what was essentially a Turkish-style vegetarian roll. For a main dish, my selection was the Shish d'Agnello. This item was a chargrilled lamb skewer marinated with herbs and spices. It was served over Turkish farro on lavash. A trio of mezzes were provided as dips. Two of them contained hummus with different seasonings. The other was a yogurt with olive oil. Pickled onions were also provided to cut through the flavors with an acidic contrast. It was a well-balanced presentation as I asked for the meat to be cooked medium rare which it was. I only wish there was a second skewer included for the price. It seems that the management team took the initial criticisms to heart as the service I received was polite and prompt. As I walked around and snapped photos, I noticed the inventory of cigars and tobacco for the water pipes was extensive. If you want to enjoy a chill evening with elevated food and drink with smoking and/or vaping included, then check out Tabac+. read more

What a lovely cozy place in the heart of San Diego. Reservations recommended. We ordered quite a few dishes mezze plate was a starter but we realized that all the stuff like hummus the yoghurt and pickled onions come with every dish except the pizzas. We were excited for Cevappi since we had it in Bosnia and were quite disappointed as they weee chewy. The chicken skewer was really tiny. If you notice in the pictures , the platter is full of greens and a tiny piece of meats. Pizzas were the best. Service was not great and they still need more time to make it an efficient flow. Our server seemed a little agitated as I asked a couple of questions regarding the restaurant. Overall an expensive place for the size of the portion. Good for one time experience. The ambience is great though. read more

Great service and a beautiful environment. We went there to try the Cevapi. The flavors were close to traditional but didn't quite make it. The key to good Cevapi is the type of coal you use to grill it. I'll definitely be back, I just won't order that dish. read more

Perfect place to lounge, drink tea, and hookah. We had a group of 9 and easily seated right away on a Friday night. The menu is diverse, no alcohol but various hot and cold drinks available as well as food and breakfast items. Happy hour available too. Cay Alla Turca, the black tea was very earthy and warm and surprisingly paired well with the hookah. Hookah is very smooth and abundant. Chai tea latte was another favorite. Sultans affogato available for coffee and ice cream lovers. My only complaint about it was I didn't really like the rose petal texture. Service was excellent from start to finish. Ambiance is casual but can be a nice birthday celebration place if you are going for low key but aesthetically pleasing coffee lounge vibes. read more
