Solely based on a Too Good To Go order, I had seen Tarbosh on Too Good To Go app and I finally went for it and ordered the 1 lb of beef or chicken. Getting to the restaurant is pretty easy and there is definitely a lot of parking available. When you come in you're instantly greeted and the space is huge, they have a dessert stand too you can purchase from but I was excited to for my order. When I checked in the team member mentioned it would only take a little bit and so I sat a reviewed their menu. The food smelled good and the people looked very happy to eat, I definitely want to come back and order a meal. When I got my food and got home I was pretty impressed with the amount of beef shawarma meat I received, I ended up just eating it with rice and the garlic sauce provided. My husband put it on a torta and, I swear there was enough meat for 6 meals. The beef was really tender and flavorful and the garlic sauce was delicious, I wish I got more to use for a sandwich. If you're curious check them out just go it's so worth it. read more

Our experience tonight Thursday march 26, 8pm. Very disappointing experience all around -- both the food and the service. We ordered two shawarma sandwiches (chicken and meat) and a falafel plate. The chicken shawarma was extremely dry with barely any pickle -- just a hint on either side of the sandwich. The meat shawarma was undercooked and still red inside, and completely flavorless. Both sandwiches came with a salad that was drowning in lemon and had hardly any salt. We also noticed the tahini sauce that came with the beef shawarma tasted spoiled. When we tried to flag the bad tahini to our server, she couldn't be bothered to walk over -- she just talked to us from behind the counter (which was at least 10 feet away). When she finally reluctantly came to grab it, she took it to the chef window and then gestured from a distance at us that it was fine and never brought us a replacement. On top of all that the falafel plate never came out at all. We went up to pay, and when we told the girl at the register, her response was just "Oh, they didn't bring it out" -- zero apology, zero accountability, as if it had nothing to do with her even though she was our server. No "I'm sorry," no "we'll do better next time." Nothing. We won't be returning. We do not recommend at all. read more

Great food I love it so much flavor great hospitality I will be coming back soon and try other plates and desserts read more

Worth the drive for amazing Levantine and Middle Eastern food! I drove an hour to try this restaurant after a hike, and it was worth every bite. The buffet has a variety of great choices, with everything made fresh and full of flavors. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was lively and family-friendly. I can't wait to come back and bring my family! read more

I went there today with a group of friends. We ordered a variety of Iraqi breakfast items. We ordered 2 egg dishes, gaymare, and mixed flat bread. The egg dishes were eggs with tomato, and eggs with fava beans. Sara the waitress was very helpful and sweet. Our whole group loved the food. I highly recommend. The breakfast was on point. read more

The food was not good, not seasoned well at all and the food tasted low quality. We left feeling heavy and unsatisfied. If you are going to visit, be prepared to pay, it was pretty expensive for the portion size. read more

We visited for their Sunday buffet, and it was a fantastic value! There was a great variety of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes, including many I'd never tried before, even though I'm familiar with both cuisines. I discovered a few new favorites! At just $30 per person, with drinks and desserts included, it's an excellent deal for the quality and selection. read more

Wow!! What a great unexpected find. No pictures, but we had the Chicken Tikka plate and the Chicken Tikka sandwich. The portions are huge!! The chicken tikka is on point with the perfect amount of spices and the char on it was excellent. And you have to try their lavender latte! Check's kiss! The staff is extremely friendly and took their time in answering all of our questions. Don't sleep on this place! We travel from the South Bay just to eat here! read more

We came for the Mother's Day buffet. We arrived at 530. It was $30 a person, and we were told that they were not gonna refill any of the food on the buffet line. What was left is what we got. The food was basically leftovers and a giant slop. The buffet looks much different than what you see on Instagram or online. We were a party of 15 and nobody liked the food. Everyone was looking forward to trying this new buffet, but everyone was extremely disappointed. read more

The food was great 10/10 highly recommended service was great very clean. Very lively.

The food was fresh and delicious. Especially the dolma, my favorite! Definitely coming back.

We showed up hungry and Tarbosh took care of us!!!! We ate chicken tikka, fries, salad, beef kabab, yellow rice, salad, hummus, and creamy green lental soup. Everything was fresh and delicious!! Our table was very clean and as was the kitchen, dining room, and walk up counter!!! Our server Sarah did an excellent job recommending what to order. Thank you Sarah for being so sweet and attentive to us!! The four large screen tv's were a bonus as we were able to watch world cup soccer!! Im looking forward to returning and trying there desserts and drinks!!! read more

Tarbosh Mediterranean Restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - El Cajon, California

Beef and Chicken Shawarma Sandwich was super yummy. And accompanying garlic sauce was a tasty addition. The only reason I was drawn to this place was the Too Good To Go app. I like discovering new and interesting eateries I otherwise wouldn't frequent. Tarbosh offers a LOT on the app. Upon getting out of my car in the parking lot I was already intrigued by the charcoal grill aroma. The restaurant looks amazing. As you enter there are pastries on display before you even speak to an employee. I placed my order and waited as they made my sandwich fresh. I noticed a sandwich board advertising their Sunday Buffet--$30 adults, $15 children. I thought, "Hmmm...that would be a nice way to try a lot of different dishes here." There was a counter with various containers, almost like a salad bar and a separate coffee and bakery counter. There is ample seating and there were a couple of large groups enjoying their meals. Soon I was out the door with my piping hot sandwich. I had never had this and it was delicious. I instantly made a mental note, "We're coming back as a family." According to the menu, my sandwich comes with fries and costs $11. I paid $7 through the Too Good To Go app and did not get any fries. That pretty much makes up for the $4 difference, in my opinion. Thank you for participating in the Too Good To Go program, Tarbosh. Otherwise I would have never found you. read more

I wanted to share my honest feedback about our recent order. We paid $80 for three people, yet the food portion was very small and extremely salty. We even had four different people taste it to be sure, and everyone agreed it was overly salty. When we called to let you know, the response we received was very dismissive, especially the comment that "your food can't be salty because you serve people with blood pressure." This is not an appropriate way to respond to a customer giving feedback. This will be the last time we order from your restaurant. For $80, we expected proper portions and respectful customer service. I hope you take this feedback seriously so future customers don't have the same experience. read more

الاكل جيد والخدمة ممتازة والمطعم نظيف جدا I really liked it I will come back for sure !!!!

Let's start off with the beef shawarma sandwich. The meat was a bit dry but the garlic sauce added a little kick to it. The bread was cooked to a good crisp. The fries were really good! Dipped them in some garlic sauce!! Highly recommend I liked the chicken shawarma a bit more. The pickles and garlic sauce made it flavorful. The bread could've been cooked a little longer felt like it was a bit chewy. Called in and spoke the a guy that was helpful. He guided me to making a decision on what sandwiches to get. Very polite service. Wasn't too busy so it pretty quiet night. read more
