    Chicken plate
    Su-chun H.

    Truly I think it's more of a 4.5 stars for me. Had the chicken plate with salad, rice and pita. Very filling and reasonably priced for San Diego. Everything came out piping hot and tasty.

    Chicken Tenders with Fries
    Darlene N.

    Compared to its neighboring establishments, Kojacks offers well seasoned, well portioned meals for far cheaper than all the other tourist traps around Mission Beach & Belmont Park. It's a very hole in the wall type of place and once you come inside, you realize it's truly a no frills establishment where you order, you wait for your food and you eat. Don't expect too much of the extra fluff, you go there to eat and that's what you'll get. There's definitely a bit of a language barrier beyond anything other than ordering from the menu. By no means are they rude, they just aren't there to chit chat. The burger and chicken tenders are a solid two- person combo, comparable to the food you'd get at a Padres game with a little more love. It's cooked right in front of you. No sketchy business in the back. 3/5 cause it's not the type of place you crave or look forward to. It's just one of the more affordable options in walking distance from the shore while all of its other fast food neighbors are abhorrently inflating their prices.

    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

    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.

    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.

    My friend is a regular at this place and finally I decided to try it for myself. We went here around 9:00 p.m. Sunday night, they close at 10:00. We ordered two breakfast Gyros with a side of fries. Apparently, this is on their secret menu, and I highly recommend it! If you love any type of breakfast foods it's similar to breakfast burrito but with gyro. Jam packed with flavor. Made fresh to order. Also, the fries are perfectly salted, crunchy, and soft. It was a great meal. I live right around the corner, so I definitely will be returning customer.

    First Visit, Instant Fans!…read more We stopped in this afternoon with my wife and our four sons after a busy day out, looking for a quick meal--and The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill completely exceeded our expectations! The restaurant was spotlessly clean, and the service was impressively fast, which is no small feat with a hungry crew our size. But what really made our afternoon was Milab. She was incredibly nice and welcoming, and we couldn't help but notice that even when she wasn't processing customers, she was actively cleaning and keeping the place looking pristine. That kind of hustle and attention to detail really stands out. And the food? Absolutely delicious! Every single dish hit the mark. We came in as first-timers and left as definite regulars. Totally worth it, and we will absolutely be returning. If you're looking for great Mediterranean food with fast, friendly service in a clean environment, this is your spot! We ordered the Great Greek Gyro and it is a really good size. Our 3 and 5 yr old could share the next time. Our hungry 7 and 9 year old devoured them. Thanks, Ashley & Lindsey Head

We were initially aiming for the crispy shawarma however only Mira Mesa and La Mesa does it. So I guess that's next on our list! The wraps were unexpectedly big!

Not really an ambience since there's not much as far as a dining room. There are a couple of cocktail tables where you could eat. After ordering online at 20:20pm, my estimated pick up time was 8:39pm and got the order at 9:03pm. The cashier informed me their chicken is taking a while and added extra time to the wait. It probably would've been faster if they weren't so backed up. I ordered the Wagyu beef and chicken shawarma plate for me and my wife to share. I added 3 falafels and pita bread on top of it. The food was still fresh when I got home 15 mins later. Everything was good and just enough for us two. Also, I'm not sure why there's a range of where they may be located on Yelp since this is just a food truck that seems to be permanent at this location.

    Happy Memorial Day:…read more My Mom and I decided to pay our respects for the fallen on Memorial Day at Fort Rosecrans so off we went . The day was a mix of clouds and sun so it ended up still being nice weather . The drive out there was not that crowded so that was a good thing. I was able to find parking up front so we would not have to walk so far. We paid our respects and left and needed something to eat for an early dinner. We did not know where to go so we decided on Georgia's Greek Cuisine in Point Loma. I ordered a giro sandwich and my Mom ordered soup, salad, and pita bread. Sorry, I was so busy eating I forgot to take a photo of my giro sandwich. Darn! The food tasted so fresh and homemade. It was outstanding! I also loved the Greek music playing in the background to feel like you are transported somewhere in Greece The place is decorated with Greek paintings and a Greek statute. They also have a vase of bright and beautiful carnation flowers. Many windows in their restaurant to make it bright and airy. The girl named Victoria who seated us and also took our order was friendly and professional. She gave us a free dessert also which was so sweet of her!

I read a review from another Yelp Elite and they talked about how they came here with their mom and they really enjoyed it. Upon entry we were greeted by the staff and it was a wonderful sign that they had really good customer service. It's a very nicely decorated Greek restaurant. There is an indoor seating area that can see probably about 25 or 30 people. Also, there's a patio adjacent to the indoor dining room and it's a covered patio for dining that looked like it may see more people in the inside. The outside patio is decorated with a lot of plants and it just looks like a Greek Courtyard type setting. We ordered: 1 Gyros Plate, Olives and Feta Appetizer, and 1 Arnold Palmer and 1 Iced Tea. The olive feta appetizer plate came out first and it had fresh pita bread with it. The gyros plate came out shortly after and it had large slices of gyros meat, Greek salad, and buttered rice. Everything was very tasty and delicious. Our server had really good customer service and she frequently checked on us to make sure that we had what we needed. I did note that there is a lot of nice traditional Greek music playing in the background like the other Yelper indicated. This adds a really nice touch to the environment and the ambience of the experience. Overall, it was nice to come here. Service was quick and good. Food was tasty and freshly made. I plan to come back to try the Dolmades. I love those.
