Really simple place where you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. They give you a carafe of cold water without even asking. They are not cheap but you get a large enough serving that the take-home can be a second meal. We ordered the Mediterranean Bowl and it was simply delicious! We can't wait to go back to try other things. read more

Like the food and especially the nachos chicken appetizer, also the falafel tacos. They have plenty of options.

The ambiance of the cafe was bright and welcoming! The woman who took my order was so kind and patient. Now the food.. was DELICIOUS! I ordered the mediterranean bowl and I will definitely be back for more. I forgot to take a before picture but it was the perfect portion. Very impressed. :) read more

Crest Cafe - Last bit of the Mediterranean Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Stopped by on a quiet Thursday evening and noticed how clean and tidy the place was. We ordered at the counter and our food came out shortly after we sat down. We ordered their falafel tacos and a build your own plate with falafel, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, garlic sauce and tzatziki sauce. The falafel in both entree was delicious! They were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. We both loved the falafel tacos and thought the chipotle sauce was a great compliment - creamy and tasty with a kick. The falafel plate was good but we thought it required more sauce than what was provided. We enjoyed the sauces we picked out but regretted not selecting the chipotle sauce for the bowl after trying it in the tacos. Now we are curious about the creamy jalapeño and may try that one out next time. The palate also came with 2 slices of pita bread and hummus. Overall, both items had great flavor and texture and all the ingredients were very fresh! read more

"Yum." "Yum" is the only word that my brain keeps repeating to me when thinking of what to write about Crest Cafe after eating here. I had the Mediterranean Nachos (off the Crest Favorites section of the menu, not the Sides section) and the Falafel Tacos. Both items were so delicious and bursting with flavor! The sauces compliment the food so well. Texture, taste, everything about the meal, was perfect. I previously had tried their Falafel Tacos, and I felt like I would be ordering them every time I came here...but I also feel that way after eating their Nachos, so who knows, I may feel that way about all their menu items! Service was great too. It isn't a large space, but it felt really open and light due to the bright interior. I believe there are only seven tables inside, mostly seating four people. There was a corner table that probably could seat about six to seven. I can't wait to try more items off their menu. It's already made one of my top favorites spots to eat in Elk Grove. read more

the hearty breakfast skillet here is super filling and always comes out steaming hot. getting a warm cup of their freshly brewed coffee makes the morning complete. read more

When they opened up, I tried their falafel, and it was okay. We came back after a few years (because we have lots of amazing shawarma around us), but the shawarma was a tasteless. What made it worse, was the service was horrible, and most of the time the lady behind the counter spent it in the back, with nobody up front. read more

The Mediterranean Nachos were very unique and tasty. It consisted of meat, sauce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and herbs served over fried pita chips. They were very delicious. The Falafel Tacos consisted of falafel, jalapeno, herb, cheese, and sauce served in a pita-like tortilla. It was very tasty and the different flavors complimented each other. The portions are small, but the food taste good. Service was good. read more

Came here on a Friday night with a girlfriend for dinner. I had a salad and it was good. This place is really busy so service is a bit slow and they often don't ask if you need anything. I didn't have hot sauce on my food as ordered snd couldn't get. They are super popular in Elk Grove and have a location downtown. All in all, it was good evening. read more

Exceptional food and service -- highly recommend Crest Caffe! We had the absolute pleasure of working with Crest Caffe for both our Hina night and wedding, and everything was beyond amazing. The food they delivered was incredibly delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. From the very first bite, our guests were impressed. The starter selections were outstanding, and the cocktail hour was a huge hit -- everyone truly enjoyed it. The dessert table was absolutely stunning, not only gorgeous to look at but also delicious. It became one of the highlights of the night. The service was excellent from start to finish -- professional, timely, and attentive. Most importantly, Munira, the owner, is a truly wonderful person: kind, professional, accommodating, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She made the entire experience stress-free and special. We received endless compliments from our guests, and everyone loved the food at both events. I highly recommend Crest Caffe to anyone looking for exceptional catering, beautiful presentation, and outstanding service. Thank you, Munira and Crest Caffe, for making our celebrations unforgettable! read more

Gyro and falafel plate. So expensive and my food was basically inedible. Dry ,flavorful less meat and driest , dusty falafel I've ever had

Ooooh weee the Pita Nachos! Soooo delish! My Mother in a law and hubby got the bowls. And they loved it. I didn't eat all my nachos and the pita does get a little soggy later BUT my teenager ate my leftovers and he jumped in his car and went and got a fresh order it was that good! read more

Food looks good. The tacos and fries i ordered had the same sauce which tasted like a mustard sauce which I don't mind. The nachos were probably the best thing on the menu from what I ordered but only thing that was bad was all the food was like warm. That kind of raises some Eye brows for the nachos cause the chips weren't hot. Meaning it could've just been sitting there for hours under a heated lamp for all we know. Over all everything was ok. If u don't mind a mustard taste then you'll find the food decent. The price is quite expensive as well and if u also don't mind like warm food then you'll be just fine. Above all that the employee that served me and my wife was really kind and friendly. Great customer service. The inside was pretty as well.l but also made me think I walked into a boba tea place. read more

I met my daughter here for lunch today, our first visit. Cute, clean little cafe. We were greeted at the counter by a sweet lady, she answered any questions we had about the menu. I ordered the lamb gyro pita, with hummus and tzatziki sauce. My daughter got a salad bowl with rice and chicken shawarma. The food came out surprisingly fast! We both totally enjoyed our food! The cashier/hostess brought a chilled carafe of water to our table and cleared our plates when we finished. They have a Sacramento location which we will probably visit in the future. As we enjoyed our food, we noticed a good amount of people picking up takeout. The restroom was very clean, too. Give this place a try, you won't regret it. read more

Was craving a good salad with meat and I was always attracted to the interior of Crest Cafe looking from the outside, walking by so I decided to stop here for dinner with my mom. The service was great and the cashier was very cheerful and helpful. We ordered a full-sized Greek Salad with added Lamb Gyro meat and a Plate with Grilled Chicken. The presentation was great and there was definitely a good amount of food served in each plate. The salad was served with a vignette that was light and added a bit of brightness to the dish. It was quite delicious and tasted fresh, so it was exactly what I wanted. The Gyro meat was also tasty as well, combined with the side of garlic sauce and feta which was also included in the dish. The garlic sauce was flavorful yet light and not over-bearing so I appreciated that. The Grilled Chicken also had good flavor! The interior and decorations of the store are beautiful, as well. Really gives off a nature, earthy vibe. Plus points for them playing some of my favorite tunes at the moment on their speakers! Would definitely love to come back in the future to check out their other menu items! read more

Great food. Have tried many other similar restaurants and Crest Cafe is the best. Love their Chicken Shawarma!

Food ordered wasn't very flavorful. Salad and pita nachos were so so. Most likely I would not order again.

We stopped by in between games in a soccer tournament and ordered the Mediterranean bowls. I ordered mine with beef and my significant other ordered his with chicken. I rate mine 5 stars easily and he rated his 4.7! We will definitely be back when in the area again! Delicious!!! And fresh! The whole place is very clean, even in the bathrooms and the service is very quick! read more

Well I wanted something new for lunch so I picked this place. I haven't been here and the reviews looked promising. Got a parking spot right in front of the place. I was greeted by the girl at the counter. She was very friendly and when I asked about the Mediterranean fries she told me that was one of their most popular dishes. I ordered it and I got a lamb wrap with onions and cucumbers added. I put the sauces on the side. I took it to go. There was a couple inside eating and several people came in to get to go like me. The place was nice and clean . I got home and dived into the fries. Wow great flavor but the chicken was over cooked and dry. Bummer, so disappointed especially the great flavor oh well next time. The lamb wrap had fantastic flavor and the meat was cooked perfectly. Loved it and will come in again to try some of their other items. read more

I'm giving them 5 stars for having such a unique menu, everything was fresh and prepared and served to us promptly. Great customer service. Highly recommend, The Mediterranean nachos is something I've never even heard of, Apparently it's the invention of this place and I wish they had a place like this in Santa Cruz. Also had the Greek salad with the lamb and it was fresh and delicious. read more

Wifey had been wanting to try this restaurant especially to test out the strong five star reviews. We had no desire to visit their downtown location just bc of that ugly downtown parking situation. So glad we did go to the Elk Grove location today! The interior was so cute, fresh & clean. Parking situation was so easy here! Yay! Service was prompt fast & quick. No issues here! We had read their best dishes were their Mediterranean Nachos & Mediterranean bowl. We listened & ordered these 2 exact dishes with garlic chicken. In addition we also ordered the falafel wrap & lamb couscous salad. Omgosh we couldn't get enough of the Mediterranean Nachos as they were spot on & fabulous! Loved the crunch of the fried pita bread with the tasty jalapeño sauce lettuce & veggies & chicken. WOW was an understatement! TRULY! Even though the jalapeño sauce was used it wasn't overly spicy for us wimps that we certainly could very much enjoy. That one highlighted dish filled up both of our tummies. Yes they don't skimp on food at all here. In fact I took a bite of each dish as wifey crazily ordered so much food! Haha...Wifey had them plate all four entrees for pictures but no way could we eat all of that food! It was a lot to say the least yet awesome to try in person. Monira the owner came up to us & checked on us. She brought containers to go plus varieties of their sauces. Such a pleasant surprise that this hidden gem is in our backyard. We truly got blessed today. You betcha we will return! Their FIVE star reviews DO NOT LIE! Absolutely!!! read more

Highly recommend! The menu is small, but the food is excellent - fresh and flavorful. And I found my new favorite food - Mediterranean Nachos! The place is clean and cute, the staff is friendly and professional. We ordered an additional item to go after we were done eating and they didn't put the side of tzatziki in the bag. The server ran out to the parking lot to bring it to us :). read more

Excellent food! The Mediterranean Chicken Bowl is amazing! Strongly recommend this wonderful place!!

I've gone to moomoo next door plenty of times and had seen this place. Decided to try it today with some friends and it was amazing! The nachos were so flavorful and the deep fried pita chips were crispy yet chewy in texture. Highly recommend trying this. I added gyro to my couscous salad which was fantastic. The Mediterranean bowl was similar to the nachos since they both have chicken shawarma in them. I felt as if there was a hint of curry powder in the shawarma, which I really enjoyed. The gyro wrap I wouldn't recommend as it was too bland, but I would definitely come back read more

Came here looking for something healthy to eat after working out and was not disappointed! Everything was so fresh and flavorful! I ordered the garlic chicken plate with tzatziki and garlic sauce. When I tell you I practically licked the garlic sauce out of the little cup I'm not kidding, it was so good. Will definitely be coming here again to try everything on the menu! The girl who took my order was also very nice and quick to bring out my food. read more

Have been eyeing on the Mediterranean nachos and finally took the plunge on ordering them. Got the side entree version as well as the side entree version of the Greek salad forming like a complete lunch meal. Loved the pita chips in the nachos; certainly tasted like they were made in-house! Thick chips that were super crispy. The garlic sauce was delicious and the chicken shawarma bits were tender. A must-have if you visit here! Fresh, crisp veggies in the Greek salad. Good portion of each ingredient. Tasty vinaigrette. Complemented well with the nachos. What a flavorful meal! Definitely check this place out especially if you've been also really curious about the nachos (they're as good as they look)! read more

Very delicious food and great service. Everyone enjoyed it and the guests were so happy and satisfied. Well done!

We always return to this restaurant for their amazing pita chips and chicken shawarma. An amazing recipe!

I give this place a 4.5/5! The nachos was recommended over the fries and I am happy that we ordered the nachos! Very tasty and super flavorful!!! Would recommend getting! The plates felt like I had a chipotle bowl but had waaay more! Veggies was fresh and chicken wasn't dry. Super yummy. I never thought I would come here, but I'm glad I did! Will def be coming back. read more

Cool little spot in Elk Grove that's tucked away in a run of the mill suburban shopping center. Fresh and simple Mediterranean food that allows you to build your own wrap or bowl. Falafel was excellent and sauces were on the side, which I loved. It makes the wrap less messy and easy to eat overall. Nice ambiance and not too crowded on a late Sunday afternoon. Minimalist decor and great food. Excellent place to stop if you're passing through the area. read more

So yesterday, hubby and I was excited to try this place after seeing so many glowing reviews but was disappointed that the chicken kabob and chicken shawarma was dry. The sauces helped but needed a lot of it. I got the 'Build It Yourself' Chicken Shawarma rice plate (+added side of Chicken Kabob for $4) for myself and ordered a Chicken Kabob wrap for hubby. We agreed the Chicken Kabobs were more dry than the Shawarma chicken. There were a couple of other people who mentioned their chicken was dry but I didn't believe and wanted to judge for myself; well...they were right. However, to be fair I think it could be more of a hit or miss. I tried both the Chipotle sauce and Garlic Sauce. Chipotle has a slightly spicy kick to it but spices are strong (typical of chipotle) and reminds me a bit of a mildly spicy ranch-BBQ sauce. It was okay, didn't care for it much...I felt it was a little bit overpowering and I prefer more 'refreshing-tasting' kind of sauces like tzatziki or garlic sauce, but hubby thought the Chipotle sauce was fine since he generally likes that kind of flavor-profile. Though we both agreed the garlic sauce was definitely the favorite (it was mild, not too garlicky, perfectly balanced, refreshing and delicious). Next time I'll try the Mediterranean Nachos and will pick a hopefully less drier chicken option. I'll likely won't do the Kabobs again. Today however, I'm thinking of trying out "The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill" restaurant as comparison to see which I like better. read more

Elk Grove has a new Mediterranean restaurant in town and they will keep foodies, like me, eating locally! I previously had to travel downtown or up the foothills to have a taste of the Mediterranean including salads, bowls, falafels, gyros, shawarmas, and humus. Now I can don't have to travel far which is perfect timing with the current gas prices. Crest Cafe is the same owner group as the one downtown and they brought their A Game with them. I've had their Mediterranean Nachos and Mediterranean Bowl so far and I am impressed by their quickness to deliver my meal (~5 minutes), warm chicken and chips, cold vegetables, homemade sauce, and just the way all the ingredients work well together to create a healthy meal. Remember to grab one of their drinks, I like the Sanpellegrino as the best pairing. Food is delivered to the table, not just loudly called out, and a cold glass bottle of water is provided. Prices are reasonable and the plate quantity fulfills my mealtime. There's 8-10 tables and parking is easy and plentiful. The restaurant is situated in a busy area so there maybe some concern getting back in to the main Boulevard. read more

My cousin and I came here for lunch. Cute Mediterranean cafe in Elk Grove. From the outside it doesn't look much but I love how bright and inviting it is inside. It wasn't too busy when we got there. Since my cousin doesn't eat meat, I like how they have vegetarian options. The fkks was good. The sauce is a hit! Def had a kick to it but it's good. Looking forward to dining here again.

This is a very cute little place. Ambiance and aesthetics are quite modern, similar to a boba shop with artificial vegetation and pop music, light colors, and modern lighting. It is cute, very different for a Mediterranean shop, but not bad. Just different. Pretty throw pillows line the bench. Onto the cleanliness. It is quite clean. It is lunch hour and they aren't slammed. The girl came out and promptly cleaned off the table after patrons had left. Kinda like diner style eating, you order at the front register and pay for your food, you're given a number and then they bring your food out to you on dish ware. They bring out a water carafe along with small plastic cups to accompany your food. It would be nice if the water cups were replaced with reusable cups, but that's neither here nor there! Onto the food!! I ordered a build your own bowl. Each ingredient is listed and any additional cost is posted right next to the ingredient of choice. It's easy peasy. I picked lamb gyro for my bowl with cucumber, onion, garlic sauce, and tzatziki. The produce is fresh, the lamb was cooked to how it should be, rice is perfect. The sauces are not too overpowering but still flavorful. This place is a pleasant surprise, and although the menu is limited, it is really tasty. I usually have to go to Folsom to get my Mediterranean food fix, now I can just come here! read more
