    Fish and Chips(left), Chicken souvlaki (bottom), chicken tenders (top)
    Alex J.

    Love love love!! Love me a good chicken souvlaki and this place was it. The workers were the kindest, location right next to the beach, and prices are so fair. There's indoor and outdoor seating as well. My friends got fish and chips & chicken tenders and they enjoyed the meal as well.

    Great place, great food, great people! Locally owned and a Mission Beach staple for over 30 years.

    Came in today to grab a pick up order and the gentleman who helped me was very professional and friendly. Was waiting and he offer me free food for the wait. I would definitely recommend everyone to come and try this place out. 10/10 Thank you

    Chicken plate

    Came in super late and needed a dinner real quick. All the times I've come in here, the guys are always chill. Food quality always gas, it's street Greek and 10000/10. Pull up, it's so good and the prices are solid. Don't hesitate!!!! Smb gem

    There's a small, quietly unassuming establishment nestled just across the broad and breezy street from the kaleidoscopic sprawl of Belmont Park in Mission Beach. It's called Kojak's Greek Euro. a name that feels less like branding and more like the affectionate nickname of a forgotten uncle. And indeed, stepping into Kojak's feels like entering the kind of memory you didn't know you had. The walls are neither aggressively modern nor nostalgically kitsch. Instead, they strike a balance with sun washed posters of Santorini, a faded map of the Mediterranean, a photo of Kojak himself, perhaps that makes you feel as if you've been here before, maybe in a dream, or a childhood road trip you only remember through the scent of grilled meat and the sound of distant carousel music. Now about the food: the gyro is perfect. Impossibly warm and tender shavings of meat wrapped in a pita that's soft but still with a backbone. The tzatziki is a cool and garlicky whisper, the lettuce crisp like a page in an old travel diary. You don't eat it so much as you return to it. The nostalgia isn't just aesthetic, it's alchemical. Every bite feels imbued with summers past, sunburned shoulders, sand in your shoes, laughter echoing across the boardwalk. The taste, while objectively excellent, is elevated by memory. your own, or the one Kojak's gently lends you. Five stars, not because it's the most gourmet place in San Diego, but because it doesn't need to be. It's honest. It's earnest. It's the kind of place where time stops just long enough for you to remember what happiness tasted like at seventeen.

    Gyro plate and baklava
    Joanie J.

    The best gyro I've tasted, ever. Meat is super tasty, with crispy bits that make it super delicious, the salad is fresh and well seasoned, perfectly paired with the toasted pita and the delicious tzatziki. Not to add that the baklava is also made in-house and is one of the best I've had as well, with caramelized sides and toasted to perfection. Thank you so much for your delicious food. P.S. - my picky 4 y.o son almost finished all his gyro meat, and stated "this is the best food in san diego!"

    Gyros Plate French Fries with Cheese
    Erica B.

    I generally get door dash but I have been in person 1 or 2 times! Great spot in Mission Beach if you are looking for gyro! I always get the gyro plate. Comes with salad, rice, pita and gyro & sauce. Cheese fries are pretty good too! They have lots of food on their menu from pizza to burgers.

    Greek Salad with Gyro Meat
    Wendy T.

    We shared a gyro meat and Greek salad. Nice combo of tender and crispy gyro meat. Fresh salad with tasty cucumber, tomatoe, olives, and feta. The tzatziki sauce was good. The pita was warm and soft. We went in after sunset and we were able to sit in a booth. The guy who took our order was friendly and easy going. Perfect after a long walk on the beach.

    Fish and chips
    Terry P.

    First time visit Very friendly owner. Food prepared as ordered is always a plus for me. I ordered the fish and chips my granddaughter ordered chicken tenders with onion rings. The fries are fresh and not frozen potatoes This place is very clean.

The kebabs were flavorful, fresh, and the meat is halal, although the portions were a bit on the small side. The lamb shish was also a little tough for my taste. The künefe was amazing, made fresh and served hot. Probably one of the freshest and best tasting I've had in the U.S. The tea, however, was a bit cold, and the istakan wasn't even filled all the way. The restaurant itself was clean and nicely decorated, and I had no complaints about the service. Overall, a very good experience, especially for the food and künefe.

Can't remember the names of the drinks and didn't get any photos, but one was purple while the other was orange! Our waitress was kind and helpful! She checked on us a few times and was proactive w the bar when she noticed our drinks hadn't arrived yet :) Also the interior aesthetic is GORGEOUS!!

    A Wonderful Evening at Tahini Restaurant…read more We had such a wonderful evening at Tahini Restaurant! The service was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was delicious. They had unfortunately run out of baklava, but Raz came through like a superhero! Just 15 minutes before closing, he managed to bring two of us baklava--and what a way to finish the meal! That kind of service and attention to your guests really makes a difference. And don't forget to get the pickles! They're listed on the menu as pickled cucumbers, although to me, they taste just like delicious kosher dill pickles. I'm not sure why they're called something different, but that tangy flavor adds such an amazing touch to the meal. Thank you, Tahini, for a great meal, great atmosphere, and a great evening with my cousin. And Raz, you're definitely our baklava superhero! ‍ Five stars all around!

We came here for a late lunch, so we were lucky that there was a parking spot opened up right in the plaza. I can not imagine how difficult parking would be during the busy time! I assume you will need to find street parking. Although the plaza is small, the restaurant is big! It has many tables inside, including larger areas for groups. We went in and saw a family having dinner together. That really gave the restaurant a warm family vibe. You can see in the decorations that they have earned many recognitions and had even been on Guy's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives show! What an amazing place! We started the lunch with a nice mint lemonade! OMG! I highly recommend this! I would go back just for this, so refreshing and perfect way to be primed for a great meal. We had three items, Soujouk Flat Bread, Baba Ghannouj, and Ouzi Lamb. The portion is large! We could not finish and had to take to-go for two of us. I love their baba ghannouj! Very authentic and come with the bread. The serve was smiling when I asked whether it came with the bread. He eventually also told us that we should open the bread like a pita and put baba ghannouj in there. I appreciate the guidance on how to enjoy the food. I also loved soujouk flat bread. So delicious! The highly recommended ouzi lamb lived up to the expectation and it's very delicious. Overall, I can't say enough good things about this restaurant.

I love the floral and pistachio taste, and it doesn't leave you feeling heavy afterwards. The mint lemonade is also a must have- tastes like it came from the garden in the best way possible. For savories, I had the spinach and cheese bajeen, baba gannouj, and the lamb fatteh - all had a lot of flavor and tasted homemade. I love trying new foods so will have to come back with more friends and try other things on the menu. The downside of this place was being seated on the right side of the restaurant near the carry out section. This was the pit of despair. I noticed that most of the staff goes to the other end first, and as a result 4 tables got seated after us and all of them had food on their table before we managed to flag one of the staff. It was definitely busy in there but he replied that he was simply going in order, but apparently order or left side to right side instead of arrival. I recommend trying to get seated on the side w the stained glass windows for better service. Other than that, the experience overall was pleasant.

    This is a food truck set up outside a liquor store. (Incidentally, the liquor store is excellent…read more Definitely check it out.) We were lucky they were not too busy when we pulled up but after we ordered, they got swarmed. Or shawarmed, perhaps. We tried the beef and chicken shawarma plate (which comes with fresh pita, hummus, rice, and garlic sauce), and the chicken cream chip with comes with breaded chicken breast. Both dishes came with these little cups of some kind of red spicy sauce that was delicious. The shawarma plate is $20 and the chicken cream chip plate is $19. It ain't cheap but this is high quality food and you get a lot of it. I know I am supposed to swoon whenever the word "wagyu" is dropped but honestly, I thought the rice was the star of the show. It had some type of cream in it that made it rich and delicious. The shawarma plate was very filling. I actually liked the chicken a little more than the wagyu beef so maybe my taste buds are off. The breaded chicken was excellent and very tasty. Parking is tight. I am not sure if the liquor store's parking spots are supposed to be used for the food truck but I saw people use them that way. Street parking is very rough in this area so good luck. Well worth a visit.

    hawarma Guys - South Park Pickup Favorite A great pickup…read morespot in South Park! I highly recommend trying the egg rolls -- I wasn't expecting much, but ended up loving them. I usually get a plate with wagyu beef and chicken so I can try a little of each, and it's super filling. If you're looking for a lighter meal, it can easily be shared between two people, or stretched into lunch and dinner for one. The garlic paste is strong, so I'd order it on the side if you don't want something too garlicky (I'm the same way). Ordering and getting your food is quick and easy, and the falafel is great too -- not dry at all. Consistent, tasty, and perfect for a quick pickup meal in South Park.
