Tried Corner Grill in Vista today and had such a good experience. I ordered the koobideh and chicken combo plate and both were delicious. It came with safron basmati rice and a side salad. The dressing was AMAZING! Everything tasted fresh, well seasoned, and cooked perfectly. The portions were great too and made for such a satisfying meal. Also have to mention the service because the man who took my order was seriously the sweetest. He was so welcoming and kind and made the experience even better. This was my first time here but definitely not my last. Already looking forward to coming back whenever I'm craving Persian food. read more

This is one of our favorite local Mediterranean spots in our area. The staff is always courteous and attentive and the place is kept very clean. We usually order take out and all menu options are pretty affordable. Our go to item is the beef koobideh combo, but there's plenty of choices to please every palate. read more

De clarify, we got this for catering for a big party and it was just the perfect amount with really tasty vegetables that feel grilled actually grilled and you have chicken and beef that actually is grilled. The rice and pita were very flavorful despite thinking that they're just starch plates, but you would be surprised that they contain a lot of flavor and it's not too oily like many saffron rice. read more

Lamb shank portion was generous and tasty. You can get the Lima bean rice or plain. Same for the salad option. Lady who took my order was really sweet. read more

I used to get the salmon here all the time and it was buttery and soft. Recently I went and the salmon was dry and looked smaller than usual. It felt like small pieces of salmon on top of a huge bed of rice. The salad was packaged seperately. The service is always friendly and the sit down area is no frills but spacious. The pistachio cake was super good. Fried eggplant spread was ok and needed more salt. Try for yourself, you may like it. But I was disappointed the last time I went. read more

Corner grill - Salmon plate (salad not pictured) - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Vista, California

Cute little restaurant and small specialty grocery-ish shop! Came in for a late lunch and snagged the salmon plate with rice and salad and oh my it was delicious. Salmon crisped to perfection, even my two year old couldn't get enough. Portion sizing was large for the price and rice and salad were fresh. We also ended up taking home some ice cream- pistachio saffron and pomegranate chocolate chunk and will def be going back for that! There was no wait and the man who took our order up at the register and served us was very friendly. Open seating once you order and plenty of parking. read more

The food was delicious and tasted very fresh. I believe the sweet man helping us order was the owner and he was very friendly. The place feels very cozy as if we were eating at home. Highly recommend. We'll be back! read more

This cute Mediterranean restaurant is tucked away in the back corner of a moderately busy strip mall. Hence, the name Corner Grill. They have a cute outdoor patio with string lighting. Inside, there is one booth and a few tables. The aroma of Mediterranean food was enticing while I waited to pay for my takeout. The portions were big. Our entire order was delicious. I would have liked extra tzatziki sauce and feta on my gyro plate. The salad was very generously portioned and the dressing was delicious. I will definitely be ordering again! read more

First time at Corner Grill, and probably our last. The staff had the personality of doorknobs -- we waited five minutes just to get our order taken, and when we asked about the desserts we got cold, clipped answers. The food was decent, but the portions felt small for the price. Won't be back. read more

Great little place especially for breakfast I like the sidewalk seating friendly service. They have a monte cristo which is not common to have read more

The kabobs here were great, very classic and authentic on a bed of rice with salad. The meat was cooked very well, I got the mixed plate and both the chicken and beef were good. Taziki and salad dressings were great but the little side isn't enough for sauce queens like me so I'd recommend ordering extra if you like side sauces with your kabobs. Locally owned little neighborhood joint in Vista, service was fantastic, my plate came out very quickly because they were preparing a large order ahead of mine but overall a very enjoyable meal. read more

Food was good and fresh. The ground beef kebab was good. Prime rib beef was good, but overpriced. Not spicy enough, but still flavorful. I was disappointed that it wasn't Syrian salad, it was just regular salad. Customer service was very good. I would recommend this place. read more

Everything went well! You've tasted Greek before. But this one is more. The Gyros meat and rice plate, is in a class all by itself. It is sooo good! The rice that it comes with is so spe ial, you might want it for all meals. I may do the chicken plates next. The service is exceptional and worth the trying out! You've got to try this place. I give it a ten. The Ambience is casual for the noon, but is also fancy for the evening. read more

I think the salad dressing here is delicious. Rice is good, but their proteins are only decent. I've tried their chicken and beef and I didn't find them particularly good or bad. I thought the beef is lacking a little bit in flavor and a bit dry. My girlfriend loves the chicken here. I found it a bit bland and dry too, but she swears by it. The owner is a very, very kind and generous man. He treats you like family when you dine here. He's very (understandably) protective over his salad dressing recipe. I tried to ask so I can make it at home but it was a no go! I really wish I could give a better rating, but I am very particular with my proteins, but I would still advise you give it a try yourself as several people I know love this spot! read more

After eight years of going to this corner gem it's still one of my favorite local places! Hamed still runs it but this restaurant it's no longer an international market. I do miss picking up certain items that were available pre~pandemic and inflation time. Now the restaurant floor has dine in tables and also outdoor patio seating available. It's kept clean and tidy. My go to is the Koobideh with Rice and Salad. It has a grilled tomato too and if they have it available I like to request to have the grilled onion halves as well. If dining there I like having the Darjeeling tea to start. Otherwise I order takeout from time to time. If I send one of my family members to get me something I usually try and have them get me some side item that I've never tried before. Last time I believe it was the mint yogurt drink. One lady that works there seems to not speak English very well but understands enough to get by. Plan dinner ahead of time because they do have specific closing times. Sometimes I've a craving for it when they are already closed. Yet I'm not mad because they still are here up and running. Check them out if you haven't already! They are literally in the back corner of the small shopping center. read more

I tried the chicken and Kobideh combo kebab plate and it was outstanding. Probably the best kebab I have ever had. The way the meats were seasoned was phenomenal. So tasty! The rice that came with it was excellent as well. The restaurant is clean and has a homey feel to it. Great baklava too! Definitely a place I want to revisit. read more

5/5 stars. Great food VERY friendly staff! I loved the #6 with both chicken and beef kabobs. It's served with saffron rice and a fresh salad. Everything was freshly prepared. You really can taste and see the difference. The chicken was marinated and was INCREDIBLY juicy. You not get juicy chicken anywhere these days. It was perfectly cooked. The beef kebabs were delicious. Tender and very flavorful. There is a reason the corner grill has 4.7 stars with hundreds of reviews. This place is a must try in North San Diego county. read more

I work close by and my coworker suggested Corner Grill for lunch. I went with gyros and it was pretty good. The think the price was slightly higher when we went in to pick up, like $1-2 more than what was listed. Honestly still a good deal for how much food I received. The meal was so tender and cut easily with a plastic fork. It was seasoned and cooked well. The salad and tzatziki dressing were so fresh. I'll definitely be back for lunch sometime! Pro-tip: call in your order and give yourself plenty of time. They tend to run a little late so give yourself time if you only have a 30 minute lunch. read more

Best basmati rice I've ever had. The lamb kabob is also fantastic. The place is nice, clean, and easy going. They have a good selection of dips to take home with your pita bread, and the desserts (try the honey cake) are amazing. We went for a late lunch, about 2:00, and there was plenty of seating inside and out. read more
