    Three years ago, this location used to be Rival Coffee then the Steak n Shake chain briefly took over and now it's the family-owned Cali Kabob...hopefully they NEVER leave!! Upon entering, we were greeted and headed to the counter to place our orders. I opted for the falafel plate which included- rice, salad, a piece pita bread, 5 huge falafels and your choice of hummus or fries, I chose French fries. After ordering/paying, we sat ourselves and our food was delivered to our table. Everything is made to order and so good! The pita bread was warm and pillowy, the falafels were perfectly seasoned, the salad was refreshing and their garlic spread was so creamy and powerful it stayed with you the rest of the day lol Yummy! Highly recommend if you're ever in the Temecula area or visiting Pechanga and looking for a good local place to grab a bite. *There is an ample amount of seating available inside as well as a couple tables out front. The interior is very spacious, minimal and clean :)

    1st time here, after ordering noticed how filthy the bathroom floor was as I walked in and my shoes were sticking to the floor, it was apparent it had not been mopped in a REALLY long time. Have seen cleaner gas station restrooms. Came out and started looking into the kitchen and could see that too had not had a deep clean in a long time, if ever. Grease buildup on the walls, crud all over the floor under the grill and other hard to reach but visible places. While the dinning room appeared to be "clean" at first glance, it was also apparent it had been swept but not mopped in in who knows how long. Also, I tried to locate their Health Dept grade but it was not posted anywhere, as required. At least the kid at the register was pleasant.

    Beef shawarma Plate with Baba Ghanoush

    Was here not too long ago for a meeting for one of the sports my daughter is involved in. Its located in the little strip mall area by Pechanga where it used to be the old Steak N Shake location. During my visit, I ordered their Beef Shawarma plate which includes a small salad, rice and the choice is either hummus, fries or Baba Ghanoush. We have never tried Baba Ghanoush so decided to check that out as a side. Service was great from the time of ordering all the way to the time of having it delivered to the tables were were at. The plate was a good size. The beef shwarma meat was flavorful with the seasonings the put on it and the rice was just as good. The salad had red onion, cucumbers and tomato which went well with the shwarma meal. I can say although the Baba Ghanoush wasn't really my cup of tea, at least I tried it and will next time to for the hummus. While we were there, my daughter ordered a peach milkshake and it was simply divine. It was nice, creamy and peachy. Just the right amount of sweet where it wasn't too sweet. The dining area is large with plenty of tables and even great for a big group. Everything was clean and well taken care of. We had a great experience and would not mind coming back esp since its conveniently nearby!

Their pop-up restaurant moves around to various venues, like wineries and breweries. The service was very good, and Chef Taylor (owner) and his staff were super friendly and open to my feedback. We tried the Old Yeller ($14), a Wagyu beef hotdog served with chips and a sweet pickle. We also tried a bowl of their Wagyu Homestead Chili ($12), topped with cheddar cheese and jalapeños. Their menu primarily focuses on Wagyu burgers, but we had eaten a large breakfast, so we just wanted to try something smaller. I enjoyed pairing the chili on my chips with the red wines we were tasting. We enjoyed everything we tried, and I would love to check them out again to try a burger. I recommend that you follow them on IG ("eatparlor") to see where they'll be popping up next.

First of all, Chris has the coolest rocker hair. Second, and more importantly, he went above and beyond to accommodate us. He and the entire team were incredibly attentive without being overbearing--a rare talent these days! Now let's talk about the food. I had the bison burger and wow. It wasn't trying to be fancy or complicated, it was just really, really good. The smoky applewood bacon was the perfect touch and took it to another level. And that Old Fashioned? Smoky, delicious, and dangerous because it goes down way too easy. The atmosphere was lively, fun, and the kind of place where you look around and immediately know you're going to have a good time.

He sold us on the appetizers. I read some reviews on options and chose the pesto pasta dish... I give it 6/10. If you don't like anything spicy, watch out for this dish. There's red pepper flakes in it. I didn't read it was slightly spicy, otherwise would have done without it. The chicken was the best thing from that dish. My husband enjoyed his bread-less burger! Ginger ale taste good with anything! We even got the special water from the springs.. Bathrooms are super tight! Why do they make bathroom doors to open inward?'!!

The drink was thick but the flavor was still good. I got avocado toast with smoked salmon. This very small meal was 20$. I got a lox bagel and 4 huge pieces of smoked salmon with capers and a side of avocado a few days ago in Vegas on strip and that was 16$. Sooooooo... how is this justifiable? Anyways, I also ordered a diet coke and they came out with a mini can. Talk about why this place is called "small" barn. Lol! The server stated the can is super small bc its only 2$. Thats just silly. Just get the bigger can and charge me 3 bucks for it. Thats fair in my humble opinion. 4$ for two mini cans is wonky to me. Alas, these are not the reasons why this place originally got a 2 star from me. It was the tomatoes on my avocado toast. They taste spoiled, old, and mushy. It made my stomach hurt a bit. As for the salmon, it tasted like it smelled, funky. Why i ended up giving this place a 3 instead of 2 stars? Bc their creme brulee was the BEST creme brulee I've ever had. It was so luscious, creamy, and it felt like these are the kinds of desserts GODS eat! It was amazing! My server was friendly and talkative with me up until the end. She said "have a good day" in an oddly, irritated way when I paid with my card. Oh wells. Ill come here for the desserts! And perhaps ill give other things a try
