This flavorful and enough for two adults. We also ordered the crispy rice salad with chicken where the staff blended the dressing in the salad for us. Both salads were fresh and not overbearing on the dressing, which I will get again. The chocolate chip cookie for dessert was soft and chewy.

This review is long overdue! We've been coming here for years. This place is fueled by a love for…read moreauthentic Mediterranean cuisine and a desire to create a warm, welcoming space for everyone. Service is always on point! They're quick to serve and attentive to customers! The quality of ingredients are fresh, authentic, and portions are generous! I ordered the Greek fries with steak! And my wife ordered the Greek fries without protein! These fries are served golden and crispy, topped with savory, aromatic ingredients. The yellow Greek sauce is fire!!! I always ask for extra sauce- it definitely complements the fries with a zesty flavor profile! I can literally put that sauce on everything!!! It's that delish!!! Prices are reasonable! Limited seating areas indoors. However, they do have a few round tables outside to sit and eat. Overall, this place is a great spot to enjoy some lunch or dinner. You won't leave disappointed! And you'll be back sooner than later for more Mediterranean comfort food!

Overview: long waits but worth it, Mediterranean chipotle, affordable…read more ---- There can be long waits but it moves relatively fast. Chipotle style set-up where you customize the proteins, dips, toppings, and sauces to your own tastes. My go-to order is: SuperGreens, Saffron Basmati Rice, Harissa, Tzatziki, Crazy Feta, Grilled Chicken, Fire Roasted Corn, Pickled Onions, Tomato + Onion, Fiery Broccoli, Tomato + Cucumber, Salt-Brined Pickles, Crumbled Feta, Persian Cucumber, Kalamata Olives, Skhug, Balsamic Date Vinaigrette, Free Side Pita There's different options of a bowl or pita that are customizable or you can also choose pre-set creations that are chef-curated. ---- The ambiance isn't anything special, but there's a lot of seating available inside and plenty of parking that's shared with other places in the plaza. It can get busy even late at night, we arrived at 9:30ish and there were around 10 people in line ahead of us. Despite the wait, the quality and variety of food, as well as its affordability is worth it. ---- Overall: if you want a nice, affordable Mediterranean meal with many customizable components check this place out; a great bang for your buck especially with the restaurant prices in San Diego

I've recently become obsessed with CAVA, easily the most popular Mediterranean healthy fast-casual…read morespot in San Diego. It's famous for build-your-own bowls and wraps--everything is fresh, light, low in fat, perfect for fat loss, light meals or a quick bite. I'm usually pretty lazy, so sometimes I just go with their pre-set combinations, mostly salmon or beef options. Their house pairings are already incredibly flavorful. If you want to customize your own order: start with a base (rice / quinoa / salad), add your protein (salmon / beef / lamb / chicken), then pick dips, toppings and dressings. Over 30 ingredients for you to mix and match freely! It's a must-go if you're watching your figure--low fat, low sugar, barely any deep-fried food. All sauces are homemade too. Highly recommend hummus, tzatziki and harissa. Prices are very reasonable: $15-$22, cheaper than salad spots of the same quality, and with bigger portions. Here are some of their most popular combinations: * Harissa Avocado Bowl (Most Popular) Honey harissa spicy chicken + avocado + feta cheese + roasted corn + saffron rice + spicy vinaigrette. Savory, spicy and creamy with amazing layers of flavor. * Chicken + Rice Bowl (Classic Go-To) Grilled chicken + brown rice + hummus + tzatziki + pickled onions + Greek vinaigrette. Light, filling and never boring. * Spicy Greens Bowl (Top Vegetarian Pick) Falafel + spicy broccoli + roasted red pepper hummus + feta cheese. Full of flavor even for plant-based eaters. * Pita Wrap Pick meat or vegetarian filling, plus sauces and veggies. The pita is soft and chewy with generous fillings -- portable and absolutely delicious .

Not friendly or helpful, very short, like she was annoyed helping us. They just opened so I assumed the freshest ingredients. Not so. My favorite Tomato Soup - meh. Nothing special. Like it came from a can. Steak was ok. Tough. Used to be better quality. Shrimp was just ok. Toasted bread was meh. Nothing special. It used to a crispy treat. Not crispy. Being the second people in, the tables were sticky, even when asked to have them wiped down. Men's restroom had no paper towels, sticky floors, greasy finger prints on the door. And they just opened. This lack of sanitation in the front of the house makes me question their kitchen sanitation. If they don't care here, where else are they not caring? Maybe it's just this location. I made a special drive here to introduce my husband to one of my favorite dining experiences. Embarrassed to disappoint my easy-to-please husband.

But once I ordered the bowl, the guy making the bowl is already reaching for kale, I am too late in the game. But this combination worked so well. I was really impressed with that. None of these ingredients were my favorite and I enjoyed this dish. So that makes me wonder what my experience will be if I did some research before coming here and order stuff with ingredients that I actually do like.

There are tipping options even though you're ordering and picking everything up yourself and even throwing away your own trash. The tipping culture is getting insane. I did have to ask the cook behind the counter what they recommended and to clarify a few menu items. I ordered the: *Triple Hashbrown Special Egglet: you can add extras, like bacon for $3.50 or ham for $2.00. I added ham, and the total came out to $16.15, which honestly feels high for what is basically a fast, casual breakfast spot. The eggs could've used more seasoning, there was no salt or pepper available at the counter, and the toast wasn't very crispy. The ham was nothing special, but the portion was large and could easily be split between two people. They do give a sauce to go with it, but it would've been nice to get two instead of one. *Cold Brew: it's decent, and you can add brown sugar for $0.75. Mine came out way too sweet, but they did give me extra cold brew to balance it out. Food came out in under five minutes. They have a self-serve station for condiments, napkins, and utensils. Staff were kind, and the place was very clean. Overall, service and speed were great, but walking out spending about $25 for a breakfast sandwich and coffee feels steep, even for California.

Ended up giving the hotel restaurant a chance despite the 3.5 rating. Was very pleased with our experience! Our food was pretty good Salmon was an amazing recommendation The braised short rib was a little disappointing. Flavor did not penetrate the meat so it felt bland. The wine sauce was very subtle. But the mash potatoes were good. The Ahi Tuna tostadas definitely had really good flavor! The cheesecake was good paired with a cup of Americano. The price did feel on the high side for the portion size and quality, but I think we're really just paying for the convenience. Wasn't very busy, service was attentive.

I understand there was a large order that caused delays, that part I can be patient with. What I can't overlook is the complete lack of basic customer service. The front-of-house worker I interacted with had a noticeably bad attitude. No eye contact, no effort to communicate, nothing. One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone can't even look at you while you're speaking to them, especially when I'm asking about my own order. It felt dismissive and honestly rude. What made it worse is that instead of giving me a realistic update, I kept getting a vague "it'll be out." She could have easily looked into my order and given me an actual estimate. Even more frustrating, I had a drink included in my order, and not once did she think to check or offer it to me while I was standing there waiting all that time. That's such an easy way to show some level of care, and it just didn't happen. Delays happen, but attitude and lack of effort are a choice. Really disappointing experience all around, Especially since I eat here almost everyday for lunch. I am definitely not going to be a regular anymore.
