Finally got tired of $1.50 Costco hot dogs. So looking for a place close to the Poway Costco so I don't shop when I am hungry. Decide to try this place for lunch. It was empty when I walked in, but it looks like they do a good take out business. I ordered the Gyros Sandwich combo which comes with 2 sides and a fountain drink. I upgraded to a Greek Salad for my 2 sides. It comes with a container of Tzatziki sauce on the side. The gyros had good flavor and the pita was soft and moist. Everything was very flavorful and the place was very clean. Definitely will go back. read more

Victor's Kafe - Gyros Sandwich Combo - Greek Near Me - Poway, California

On a lunch break and decided to check out Victors Kafe. Nice little shop set up in a strip mall. I ordered the Gyro with a side of fries. The Gyro was packed with plenty of delicious beef and lamb, onions and tomatoes. The fries were seasoned and crispy for a thicker cut. Definitely a solid meal. Overall, a good dining experience. A small and clean restaurant. They were friendly and provided ketchup and Tzatziki sauce without even asking for it. Good place for a Mediterranean meal. read more

Love this place. Hidden gem. Cant say enough. Close to my work when I need that gyro. Service is always fast and friendly.

Amazing food and outstanding service. I had to order food for 7 to 8 people. They provided the best option and value which included gyro, chicken, pita, rice and salad. They included serving utensils, plates, and everything I needed. Thank you for the delicious food and #1 service especially for helping me carry my food to my car. And yes, all 8 of us enjoyed the delicious meal. read more

Stopped by for the first time and enjoyed it! I order Victors Chicken and Gyros plate. The chicken was cooked very well imo. It was cooked through but still moist, not over cooked like so many other places (understandably I guess). The gyro was also tasty and not overdone. Both were seasoned well and had good flavor. Plate came with pita, rice and a side salad, no complaints on any of it. My buddies got fries instead of the side salad and really enjoyed them. Service was fast and friendly, counter service so can't speak for much other than that. It's a relatively small establishment but there are benches outside to enjoy your meal, as long as weather permits of course. read more

This place is seriously good. The rice had a lot of flavor, chicken kabob was juicy and flavorful. Also very tender. I loved the salad and their dressing. Pita bread wasn't stale or hard. Very very good! read more

Victor's Kafe serve a variety of protein choices here with their combos. They have lamb, beef, chicken, salmon and vegetarian options. I'm always greeted by George and his staffs when I walk in. The facility is always clean and they have a fountain drinks selection to quench your thirst. My favorite is The Spicy Gyro Sandwich combo which I get with fries and salad. Their dipping sauce is to die for I love it. Everything is fresh and tasty. If you like hummus and pita bread, add that to your meal. Overall it's always a great experience and please try their gyro sandwich. read more

Been going to this little spot for several years and have been meaning to leave a review each time I go. The plan is to take a picture of my beautiful and delicious Greek salad with chicken and then post it with a nice review. But the fact is, I chow down so fast, there's no time for photos. The food is beyond delicious. I wish the location was more centrally located in Poway. They're up on Scripps Poway Parkway in the business center near the Costco and Geico building. If they were in town I would probably visit every other day but every time I go up to Costco I swing by there and get the Chicken Greek salad. So worth it! I've never experienced any issues with customer service except excellent sericet. They get five stars across the board for everything. I can't ding them for location but would be great if they opened up another one down in Poway and stayed open longer. They close at 3:00. Boo! Btw.... I've also had the kabob plate as well which is also very tasty and fries on occasion. Yum! read more

This spot was delicious! The chef was super nice and gave me the rec to try the spicy gyro plate! Food was very flavorful and delicious and large portions for the price! Rice was a tiny bit salty but the sauce made it balance out! Overall great experience and friendly staff!! read more

Victor's Kafe - Greek Near Me - Poway, California

I have visited Victor's for years! The food and service are just as good now as it was back in 2009 when I first came in for lunch. This simple shop dishing good grub quickly became a fan favorite amongst my co-workers and still gets packed during lunchtime. Here is why I like this joint: - It's family-owned - It's family-operated - The food is good - Prices are reasonable - Did I mention the food is good? Victor himself took my order this afternoon. You can usually find his sons (or are they his grandsons?) working the grill. This casual restaurant is in a small shopping plaza that is mostly occupied by restaurants. Just follow your nose when you pull into the parking lot and you will find Victor's. Just like when I first visited years ago (insert nostalgia here), my food is prepared to order. I ordered "The Pepper" with chicken (steak is the other option) and made it a combo with fries and a side salad. The chicken in my pita sammie was well-marinated and every bite was juicy from start to finish. I speak from personal experience when I warn you to be careful or you WILL be wearing those juices. Victor and the crew are friendly. You are greeted when you come in and when you leave, like you're visiting an old friend for a meal. So if you're in Poway stop in for a bite. Or if you're in Rancho Bernardo hit up the other Victor's Kafe where I often see Victor overseeing things. You can't go wrong either way! Turtley awesome grub!! ____ | *__/ _______| / -/________\ / () () 2020 read more

Great front line service and fast food prep times. My opinion is the amount of meat included for an $10 plate is lacking which led the 4 stars. The spicy gyro plate is amazing, rice is good and the salad tasted fresh. Over all a great spot for really good food. Pros: plenty of parking Set up is nice Lots of seating for the space Very friendly staff Cons: disconnect in value provided compared to pricing. read more

I love the Victor's chicken salad and their aioli is amazing. Staff is always friendly too!

We been going for as long as I can remembe. My wife and I had them cater our wedding many years ago. We are still huge fans of the food. We love the ultimate salad, feta fries and dolmas are just to name a few. There are hardly any places I'm comfortable with just picking something off the menu and being happy with it. This is that place for me. The service is always the best. The owner has his finger on the pules and keeps it moving. Can't get any better than this in Poway. read more

Middle-eastern / Mediterranean fare at reasonable rates. Gyros in a pita, gyros not in a pita, chicken, chicken and gyros, etc. I had the chicken and gyros plate, and thought it was a decent if somewhat plain meal. The gyros meat is not high quality - it's a ground mix. The chicken is good, tasty and feels healthy. It's quite small inside, so don't plan on eating there unless you're in a bind. It's pretty narrow so it's not easy to find a space to stand and wait for your food. This place can build up a little bit of a wait during peak hours (lunch), so I recommend timing it to avoid the lunch rush. Alternatively, call in your order. I saw a few people doing that and thought I might do that next time. This place shines as a to-go lunch spot for locals who work in the area. Call it in 15 - 20 min in advance to avoid the wait, and get a nice healthy meal at a good price! read more

The falafel here is so creamy and warm, absolutely delicious. And the chicken schwarma wrapped in a fluffy, warm, naan bread wrap melts in your mouth. It's my favorite place to go! read more

Victor's Kafe is a bustling eatery in Poway. Ive been several times and the food is consistently good. My goto is the chicken and gyro platter. But you can order wraps and salads too! Victor's is a great place to get fresh and healthy food that is prepared as you wait. You can order ahead, as well. You may want to anyhow because seating is pretty limited. I'll definitely be back! read more

Food was so so, expensive for how small the portion is. Stingy with condiments, the main guy in the front was rude, staff could be little friendlier. read more

Spicy gyro sandwich! That's all you need to know. The seasoning of the meat, the freshness of the veggie toppings, the fluffy pita, and the homemade tzatziki make this one of the best gyros I've ever had. It reminds me of the old Greek gyro trucks I would eat at back East. Plus you can't beat the prices, especially the sandwich combo. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for an awesome gyro! read more

Prices were good food was NOT, only thing decent was the rice never have I had gyro meat that dry and Tiziki was as thin as water, first and last time ever eating there read more

I am always craving their gyros while I'm at work. I always pack lunch, but sometimes I decide, hey I can eat this tomorrow and head towards Victors Kafe! I either get the Gyro Plate or the Salad. I really recommend this place because it's a fast pick me up, so delicious and really big portions. They have a really good spicy sauce that you can ask the worker to cook the meat in. 100% better than just dipping. Overall would recommend! read more

The Gyro salad is the way to go. Very abundant heat and it has a tremendous salad dressing place is very small inside so it's better for takeout. However, the service is very friendly and it's great for catering. read more

Fabulous fabulous fabulous. Great food great service! Some of the best gyros I've eaten! I've eaten them for 30+ years! read more

Victor's Kafe - Gyro - Greek Near Me - Poway, California

Stopped by for lunch around 10:45 and they were super busy trying to put together a huge to-go order. They were yelling orders to each other in a tiny space so it was very loud. Like "scream to your table mates" loud. The delivery guy is also apparently the bank run guy and the order taking guy, so they really have to juggle to keep up on a busy day. The guy was super friendly and prompt taking our orders though, so no complaints there, just be forewarned. And like previous reviewer said, it was waaaaaay hot because of the weather/small space/food cooking combo so they left the door open and we spent half the meal chasing off flies. I ordered the gyro and chicken plate and everything was good, but tasted like pretty much every other Greek restaurant I have ever eaten at. They don't seem to have a specialty thing that sets then apart from other restaurants and draws you in with their unique item (like how one place has a Greek burrito, with all the flavor you love in a convenient travel roll that you could eat while driving if you were so inclined. Or one has a Greek bowl kind of like Chipotle's only Greek and better). It's not bad, it just isn't anything to write home about. Overall, I would be back if I were across the street at Costco and jonesing for some Greek food, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it again. read more

Best casual Greek Food in the Area. Their service is quick and the food is good. I had the Spicy Gyro combo with rice, salad, and a drink. One thing that separates this place from the others is the homemade tzatziki sauce and Greek salad dressing. These are so good they make you want to come the next day for more. They also sell the tzatziki sauce in bulk if you like. read more

I stopped by here, never experiencing Mediterranean food before and was very happy that I did. I ordered Victor's Chicken and Gyro Plate, spicy of course, and was extatic to see how big the portion was! The food was brought out promptly and was definitely enough for two to ear. The gyro and chicken were well seasoned and there definitely was a spicy aftertaste. For dessert I ordered a Baklava and it was a very nice treat after the big meal. Not too sweet and was very happy I tried this place out. Definitely support the local businesses and a recommend for anyone in the area! read more

Spicy Gyros Plate: Spicy gyros AMAZING. Salad, simple but I kinda love it. Pita bread very average. Sauce is great too. The rice is good however to best describe the rice is it's comparable to middle school brown rice. That probably sounds weird but when I went to middle school I had this teriyaki beef with brown rice and Victor's rice tastes almost exactly the same! But less dry which is why it tasted better. But yea for everyone who knows what I'm talking about... their rice tastes like that. read more

Was in town for the weekend and looked up for quick eats in the area. Stopped by to check out their menu and ended up ordering from here :) 1. Avegolemono (Egg lemon soup made with rice & grilled Victor´s chicken tenders) - about 12 oz....Delicious! 1st time trying this type of soup and enjoyed the tangy broth, rice and grilled chicken bits. My daughter loved it as well. 2. Gyro with greek salad - meat was good and pita was fresh; enjoyed the Tzatziki sauce and the Victor's greek dressing for the salad Friendly service; located in a plaza northwest of Scripps Poway Pkwy and Stowe Dr. read more

Spicy Gyros are the best thing on the menu. There is no need to compare. The chicken is good. Much better than Carls' Junior. Fries with garlic sauce is super tasty; all other options are dieter feiendly! Except rice, never rice. Good sauces make the food. To balance the hot meats, they provide a white sauce. Enjoy lunch here. read more

Victor's Kafe - Gyro Salad - Greek Near Me - Poway, California

Always one of my favorite little Greek spots and very convenient! I usually frequent the location in Rancho Bernardo but this spot is great as well and a favorite for my team when we want to order to go food for our lunch meetings. I believe you have to spend at certain amount for delivery but since we have them cater for our large groups, it's a non-issue. I just call George, tell him how many people we have and they provide a good-sized salad, gyros, grilled chicken and pita bread. The food always arrives right on time and is nice and fresh. Jordan usually delivers to our building and is always friendly, no matter how hectic the day has been. If you've frequented the eatery during peak business hours, you'll see what I mean. Great food, great service, ok parking and overall pleasant experience, always. Thank you George and Jordan! read more

Not only is the food delicious the customer service is unreal. George has been nothing short of awesome. He helped me plan for my catering event and made sure I had enough food. He let me know what to get so I didn't have too much or too little and let ms tell you it was perfect. Just a little bit extra so I have lunch the next day. I catered for 30 guests and he gave me the perfect serving amount. Not only is it reasonably priced but it 100% beat going to a restaurant and spending thousands. We catered the Greek salad, Viktor's chicken, gyro, steak kababs, roasted potatoes, pilaf rice, and pita bread. The communication prior to and the day of the event was perfect and there wasn't a worry that we wouldn't get our food. Although they do offer delivery we figured it was best to just pick it up so it was helpful to not only them but makes it tether for us. I love this place and the guests did too. It does not taste like normal catering food but a normal lunch you order the day. So good. Eat here for lunch or have them cater. It's 100% worth of. read more

Amazing, authentic Greek food! I drive a half hour out of my way a few times a week to have lunch. Their spicy gyros are delicious!

This place is so good, like just all around, the food the service the cleanliness.

Chicken is alway tender, juicy and flavorful. Great and welcoming service here as well. read more
