Victor's Chicken and Gyros Plate
Gilberto L.

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.

Spicy Gyro
Kanya D.

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.

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!!

Pepper chicken sandwich add mozzarella cheese. Rice and salad

Do not sleep on the pepper chicken sandwich add cheese. I've had a lot of Philly chicken style sandwiches, but this one is the best.

Salad as part of the gyro plate.
Brad G.

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.

Ultimate salad
Jimmy D.

It's been a while but they're still as good as pre pandemic. Ultimate salad was still good and same portion. Prices have gone up but so has everything else.

The Pepper Plate: chicken, fries and side salad
Mark F.

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

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!

Aloha folks! This was my first time at Larry's Santorini. I walked in and was immediately greeted…read moreby Ozzy (Larry's son), who was kind and friendly. He helped me choose a plate. I decided on the Gyros Sandwich and fries. I asked if I could get my fries without salt and he gladly said that he'd be happy to do it That made me happy. He gave me my drink cup and directed me to the self serve drink machine and told me to grab a table and he would bring the food out. The food arrived shortly after he took my order. The fries were hot and crispy (no salt as requested) and the Gyros Sandwich was excellent. Tender, juicy and delicious. Ozzy came back to check on me and I was appreciative of that. This restaurant supports the local community which is nice to see. I highly recommend Larry's Santorini for fresh and delicious Greek food. Be sure to check their menu for all the other food options they offer. You can't go wrong!

Service was friendly and we were immediately greeted upon arrival. I got a quarter chicken plate which came with a small side salad, side of rice, and pita bread. The food was fresh and tasty but the portions were small especially for the high price point (total cost was $19). I felt they could have gave more rice and salad to beef up the plate. Overall good food just wasn't full after my meal...

We got there around 11:15 and the lunch rush hadn't hit yet. Our order was taken promptly and the cashier (who also brought us our food later) couldn't have been friendlier. It only took about 10 minutes for our food and it was piping hot and fresh. Yours truly had the Pikilia, a sampler of chicken, gyro, rice, hummus, dolma, wings, salad, pita and spanakopita. It was a ton of food and I mowed that bad boy down. I'd go back.

I asked what time they open and she said in 10 minutes. I asked if I could look at the menu while I waited and she said yes. While I'm looking, another person walks in (seemed like a regular--he didn't order, she just told him his total and he paid). Since it was my first time, I tried to make conversation and asked what he usually gets. She redirected me with "what questions do you have on the menu?" I explained it was my first time and I was just curious since he's a regular--I figured his order might be a good place to start. She answered, I said thanks -- and I was gonna order what he ordered but because the interaction felt weird I wanted to further check if maybe I can turn it around .. so then asked what she personally likes. She said it "depends on what you want". Fair, but the tone felt off. I put the menu down, and she continued with "it depends on my mood, etc sometimes I want meat or only vegetables I work here 5 days a week." (also fair), but overall the interaction just wasn't pleasant or welcoming. I was excited to try somewhere new, but ended up saying thank you and walking out. Now I'm here writing this one-star review... and still hangry

Shiraz Persian Cuisine has been one of my long-time go-to spots in Rancho Bernardo, mostly for…read moretakeout, and it's overdue for a review. The owners are genuinely friendly and the food has been consistently solid for years. A highlight for me is the rice -- fragrant basmati with saffron and a golden, crispy tahdig-style layer that adds a really satisfying texture alongside the fluffy rice underneath. I've only dined in a couple of times, but it's worth it if you can. The restaurant feels warm and inviting, with lots of table seating and a cozy, traditional feel, made even better by the welcoming service. We started with Zeyton Parvardeh and Mirza Ghasemi, and both were tangy and packed with flavor. My usual entree favorites are Ghormeh Sabzi and Fesenjoon, and both have that comforting, well-made "slow-cooked" feel. The kabob combo with chicken and koobideh is also a reliable order: flavorful, well-seasoned, and a great match with the rice. All presented as sharable. If you're looking for dependable Persian comfort food in the area, Shiraz is absolutely worth a visit (or a takeout run).

Only tried the koobideh kebab which was good. Cook and flavour was great. Just one skewer by itself…read morewas $10. A skewer of chicken kebab just by itself was $17!! North Park Produce Grill gives the same for 7! And it's delicious! Overall this place is quite expensive. And it has always been. Maybe it might be worth it for a nice dine in dinner but it is cost prohibitive for take out or a casual dinner.
