    Mediterranean bowl with gluten free focaccia - DELICIOUS!
    Cori A.

    Absolutely delicious. Gluten free restaurants are important to me and not only did Urbane offer GF options (hello, focaccia bread!), their food is amazing. I had the Mediterranean bowl and it is honestly some of the best food I have had in a long time. Can't wait to go back and try something else!

    The food was very tasty with a nice presentation. The service was excellent and the store ambiance was clean and inviting. Overall I give this location five out of five. Just be aware that the prices are a little high but I must say well worth it for the quality ingredients. Keep up the great work and I highly recommend giving Urbane Cafe a try!!

    Lunch was fantastic

    We stopped by this new place to eat yesterday. As we entered it had a chill vibe and it was clean. I liked the decor inside and it had seating outside as well. The workers were good at coming to clean tables often and even came to wipe our down as we were sitting down. The majority of the food options looked healthy. Both of my girls were able to choose food items as well, so that's a huge plus! At first we ordered water cups, located for free by the drink dispenser, and then we ordered a watermelon lemonade. One of the workers brought our food to our table when it was ready, which was a nice touch. We were served on reusable plates, but I didn't see a place to return them so I asked and the worker offered to clean up our dishes for us. Score! My husband order the chimichurri steak sandwich and it came with a side salad. He said it was tasty. My daughters ordered PB&J (strawberry) and a grilled cheese. They chose the chip instead of salad option. I ordered the cilantro chicken salad with a ranch dressing. It was yummier than I expected. We also saw their cookies near the register that looked freshly made so we ordered a few and they were delicious. Great food! We will return again soon.

    Mediterranean Chicken Sándwich
    David C.

    Excited to have an Urbane Cafe in Menifee so that we don't have to drive down to Temecula to enjoy. The staff greets you as you come in and they're quick to answer any question you may have. When the food is brought out, they are very attentive and friendly as well. Everything that I have tasted here has been delicious. This time, we tried the Mediterranean Chicken sandwich and the Chimichurri Steak Sandwich. The chimichurri Steak Sandwich was really juicy and tender. I wanted to get another one because I really enjoyed it. The salad that comes with the sandwich also has a good flavor as well and the little mandarins give it that bit of sweetness. I wish they gave a little more salad though. There are times the salad is fluffy and it looks like there's a good amount of salad, but it's just fluffed up. Aside from that, I have no complaints at all.

Every visit has been consistently excellent. I've been for late-night drinks, dinner service, and lunch, and the food and service have always been on point. Be sure to say hello to T, the bartender. He's fantastic and makes every visit even more enjoyable. Don't let the fact that it's in a strip mall fool you. There's plenty of convenient parking, and once you step inside, you'll forget where it's located. This is definitely a place worth checking out. The atmosphere is casual with a trendy, modern feel. The music is always great, with a mix of hip-hop and other upbeat favorites. The Art Deco-inspired décor gives the restaurant plenty of character and makes it a fun spot for Instagram-worthy photos. If you've read my other reviews, you already know I love a good mojito! I ordered mine with Tito's Vodka, and it was excellent. Every cocktail is handcrafted to order--no premixes here. My friends enjoyed an Old Fashioned, complete with the smoky presentation, and we also tried the Savage Cowboy. It isn't listed on the menu, but if you like whiskey, ask for it! It's smooth, well-balanced, not overly sweet, and not too whiskey-forward. As for the food, don't miss the burgers, wings, and the vegan flatbread. Even if you're not vegan, you'll love it. Everything we tried was flavorful and well prepared. Savage is the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again. Whether you're meeting friends for cocktails, grabbing lunch, or enjoying dinner, it's a great choice.

From the fresh ingredients to the incredible flavors, every bite was packed with quality and care. Not only was the food fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, the atmosphere was welcoming, the service was excellent (shoutout to Holly & Sofia), and the attention to detail was evident in everything we ordered. It's not often you find a place committed to making everything from scratch, but Savage Chef delivers on every level. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to again and again! PS: If I could give them 10 Stars, I would because Holly went above and beyond any service you can ever expect. My Hubs and I were driving back from a weekend in San Diego when we found this gem. We dined, had great conversations with staff, other customers and even Dylan, himself! We left, went to a supercharger to charge my car. Got home (35 mins away), before my Hubs realized he left his phone at the restaurant. I remember them saying they closed late. Called. They answered. Holly was still there and had the phone. She literally offered to bring it to us since we were far away but we couldn't put her out the way and Hubs needs his phone to drive his car. Drove back to the restaurant. Got there around 1:17am, Sunday, 06/14/26, and there was her smiling face with my Hubs phone. Thanks Holly and Alejandro for staying so we could get the phone. #SavageChefBarAndGrill #FoodieFind #MadeFromScratch #10StarExperience #SupportLocal #FoodieLife #InlandEmpireEats

I met one of the owners and he was very charming and we had a nice chat and he handed me a discount coupon for a free appetizer or something for my return which is a clever move. It's a refreshing nicely curated interior, unseen in the Menifee area. This brings a little "elevated" sophistication to retirement central! A ray of SUN in the CITY one might say. Applebee's regulars be prepared for a new experience that might shock you if you can take the leap. The lovely plated dishes coming out of that kitchen were top-notch architectural masterpieces. I will have to return soon, but I'm vegetarian so I might have some limitation, but we'll see. Maybe they'll whip something up? The interior is trying to be real hip and it sort of works in a positive way but a little bit of that modern gauche. You know, kind of like Z gallery meets mid-century with a slight Lichtenstein tribute with a cartoonish flavour. It does work though, and carries to the exterior or the exterior carries to the interior? With the limitations of a strip mall it's a little bit hard to put lipstick on a pig. But they've executed it well and it's inviting and a departure from the norm. I'm excited to get there soon.

It's also not lost on me that a big factor of that is probably because of my ethnicity. On top of that, I had to inquire if they had an ID scanner and they said no. I had to ask for the receipt myself of them refunding it (allegedly) so at least I could make sure that I was given my money back for the drink they declined me. Wouldn't recommend this place at all.

There was no wait for a booth, and the restaurant had a fun, family-friendly atmosphere with TVs throughout the dining room. The complimentary bread was warm, fluffy, and fresh. The cinnamon butter was tasty, though definitely on the sweeter side. The peanuts were exactly what you'd expect from Texas Roadhouse. For drinks, we tried the blue lemonade and strawberry lemonade. The blue lemonade tasted pretty similar to regular lemonade, but the free refills were a nice bonus. The strawberry lemonade was the standout and definitely worth ordering. We also tried the Dragonfruit Sparkler, which was fruity, refreshing, and one of the better specialty drinks on the menu. For entrees, the Herb Crusted Chicken Dinner was the clear winner. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and the corn on the side was surprisingly delicious. The Country Fried Chicken Dinner was just okay. It wasn't bad, but I've had better versions elsewhere, and even with the gravy it felt a little lacking in flavor. The fries were pretty standard. Another plus was the large parking lot and the reasonable prices. The portions were generous, and overall the meal felt like a good value for the money. A special shoutout to Candace for providing friendly and attentive service throughout our visit. Overall, Texas Roadhouse delivered a solid dining experience with good food, affordable prices, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely come back for the herb crusted chicken and strawberry lemonade.

He decided to give me the gift card this evening to enjoy a nice meal as our kiddos were at their grandparents and he was working. I ordered a $30+ meal the 6oz sirloin + shrimp and two sides. I got it to go so I could enjoy it at home. While I was waiting (I had arrived very close to the pickup time), I noticed an employee standing next to the driver's side of a car talking to the driver, who appeared to be an acquaintance. I could clearly overhear the conversation, and the employee was saying things that I found completely inappropriate to be discussing while standing right in front of the restaurant, even if it was technically in the parking lot. Two minutes before my pickup time, I went to the to-go window and received my food. When I got home, I realized my rolls didn't include the house butter. Whatever! It's not the end of the world. But worth noting as you would think this would be standard to provide. What became really problematic was the meal itself. I ordered my steak well done, but it arrived bleeding and wasn't even close to medium well. Why ask how I want my steak cooked if you aren't going to cook it that way? The shrimp was cold and incredibly salty. The potato? How do you get a potato wrong? Well, somehow they managed...it was stale and overly salty too. The broccoli I don't even think was steamed for more than a minute before you gave it "seasoning". The entire meal was awful and for $30?! Hahahaha I guess really the joke was on me for paying such an absurd amount but I really was expecting some quality somewhere. It just wasn't there all at. We still have money left on our gift card, but we'll be giving it away because we won't be coming back. I didn't even bother calling to complain because, judging by the quality of the food, I don't think a complaint would make any difference. I added a photo of my "well done steak".

Despite me smiling, being polite, and thanking her when I picked up my order, she never smiled once, avoided eye contact, and responded with nothing more than an indifferent "uh-huh." I understand everyone has bad days, but basic courtesy and professionalism are part of working in customer service. A friendly greeting, eye contact, and acknowledging a customer's thanks are the bare minimum, especially for someone spending $75 on an order. Panera should do a better job training employees on customer service or be more selective in who they hire for customer-facing positions. Experiences like this make customers feel unwelcome and less likely to return.

    Soooo delicious!! Was brought here for Mother's Day, and I…read morewas so excited to eat! The food was so good, portions were perfect, and the service was even better! We ordered: - Spicy Naan - Garlic Naan - Plain Naan - Rice - Lamb Sukha (spicy) - Saag Aloo - Vegetable Samosa - Shrimp Tikka Masala (spicy) - Butter Chicken - Mango Lassi for the kids - Taj Mahal 22.oz beer ALL OF THE FOOD WAS MORE THAT PERFECT! The spicy food was sooo soooo good, we had a decent amount of leftovers to take home. Everyone was so kind in there, and very attentive! When we go back, we definitely need to see if we can sit at a larger table so we can order more food I can't wait to go back!

    Tandoori and Naan are cooked in a CLAY TANDOOR OVEN at this location…read more Most entries are served with a complimentary bowl of Basmati rice that is fragrant with spices (cloves can be found). The food feels like a home cook meal and I was told from Northern India province. This was definitely not an Americanized India fusion nor anything served in any India California buffets and definitely a level above it. ========= Tandoori are served on Sizzling Platters and placed on top of sauté vegetables (onion, bell peppers with spices) that are pre-marinated for hours. A lemon wedge is provided to squeeze additional citrus flavoring to the meats. The spices in the tandoori meats were well embedded that I could smell/taste the spices hours after eating as well as the next day upon reheating leftovers. 21. LAMB CHOPS (RACK OF LAMB / 5 PCS) Pre-marinated lamb with each leg cut and blacken char in the clay oven. It was cooked to well so a bit dry/over done for me. However, I was told the meats can be cooked to any wellness a customer prefer. If you want medium make sure to specify upon ordering. It came with a paste made from fresh mint/cilantro to help with gamey taste associated with lamb. 16. CHICKEN TANDOORI Bone in chicken thigh/drumsticks pre-marinated with spices. Additional hot spice paste can be requested, but I ask to put on the side. It was cooked well done, so could be juicer if cooked less. A side of marsala could also help with the dryness of the meat. ========= Boneless cubed meat are slow braised in India spice sauces: 61. LAMB ROGAN JOSH ** Delicious in flavoring ** Braised cube boneless lamb in a stewed tomato sauce filled with India aromatic spices (onion, garlic, India spices: black cardamom, cumin, cloves, etc). It's similar to saltness of a rustic tomato cacciatore sauce but w/ India spices. 60. LAMB KORMA Wanting to compare it to Al-Noor (Pakistan) in Inglewood is Spicy, Salty, Tangy, the taste was a total opposite to a Sweet Floral Nutty and Creamy (Himalayan is India). In the usa, most restaurants are called India to make it simple for non-India customers. The flavor is different because these are two different cultures/regions but use the same name Lamb Korma. Although I could taste the cashews, it was more bland in comparison to the Rogan Josh and other Korma I've tried elsewhere. I did not add additional hot spice. All the sauces come in the same dish and fits in a 24oz plastic container including the rice. Meats are cubed and seem to be about 4 oz of meat on my 1st visit. ============ Garlic Naan is at ala carte prices and not complimentary. It had garlic with cilantro flakes. It was OK but not as buttery as Al Noor. However, this restaurant's Basmati rice had more flavor than the Naan to go well with their dishes/tandoori. Restaurant is small café style, it's can hold a party of 6 per table. Bottle wine or glass is available to purchase besides beer and soda. It does get busy after 5pm and parking does get tight since it shares it with other eating establishment. For quieter setting, go before the dinner crowd. Staff is friendly and nice. During my visit, many of patrons (are not India) and happy/eager to experience a place with exposure to dishes that provided different blend of spices. Service/experience and attentiveness was much better the 2nd time around that I look forward to trying a new dish on my next visit.
