We were in the area for my son's mountain bike race and needed dinner after a long day in the heat…read more Yelp saved the day again! In short, Shawarma Grill was insanely good! The staff were soooo polite and accommodating, they made us feel like we were family dining in their home. The plates were some of the Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food we have eaten. The portions were giant, but the quality was very high. We were given all the sauces to try -- garlic, tzatziki, spicy -- and I enjoyed all of them. I had beef shawarma and at my wife's chicken and both were juicy and flavorful. Sadly, we don't live nearby, but if you're reading this, I expect you pay them a visit!

Temecula is spreading out more as the housing developments find more land, and the topography adds…read moreto the convoluted nature of the city. That's my experience at least. Recently I was working elsewhere in the city and decided that I wanted to explore new eateries above a few favorites, especially in the Middle Eastern category. That's how I found Kabob House, on Yelp. Over the hills and through the ravines was the route Google Maps laid out, and I found myself in a shopping center that also contained an Italian restaurant called Francesca's. I almost went there after browsing the food porn, but I stayed focused and found myself in a quaint dining room with nice use of light and shade. It's popular, too, I realized as the tables slowly began to fill up on a Sunday evening. Not packed, but definitely busy. There's also an active take-out and delivery business (via Uber Eats and Doordash I surmised). A Kabob combo is always a good place to start, so I appreciated the options available, such as Kafta and beef. They offer choices to round out the place and I picked rice with a salad. I could have picked hummus, too, but either way, a handful of triangle cut pita bread are standard. The salad arrived first, I thought I requested the Greek style but the Caesar was actually very good and I didn't complain. The meal arrived on a large, heavy plate with tall sides (why don't more places do that?) and beautifully arranged. Very colorful, with a few dashes of sumac as garnish. The beef was a tad overcooked and a little smaller in portion than other places I've been, but the Kafta was moist and had fresh herbs and spices. Clearly the better of the two, but the collective experience was satisfying. I liked the rice pilaf and pita, and I was full afterwards. I noticed that they have an extensive wine variety, but I suppose you'd have to ask for a list. Something to keep in mind, especially if there are wines by the glass. A Spanish varietal red or Syrah would be perfect for beef and lamb dishes, unoaked Chardonnay or Voignier for chicken plates. Next time I'll explore the Shawarma options and an appetizer or something.

Had a random Mediterranean craving and ended up at Cali Kabob next to Pechanga (meaning parking is…read moreplenty) zero regrets, minor chaos. The place looked like it lost a small battle with a lunch rush (probably short-staffed), but honestly... I came for food, not interior design. Ordered the beef & chicken shawarma combo like I meant business, and my son went with the chicken kabob. The basmati rice showed up fluffy and flavorful like it had something to prove. The chicken kabob had that smoky, "I was grilled with love" vibe, and the beef shawarma was so tender it basically melted before I could fully commit to chewing. Then came the baklava. Apparently homemade by the owner's mom, and yeah... you can taste the difference. Not drowning in syrup, not trying too hard.... just sweet, flaky perfection doing its thing teaming up w ground pistachios being delicious!! Messy dining room aside, the food showed up dressed to impress... and at prices that don't make your wallet cry!!!

That bread was so cold and hard I considered using it as a coaster for my water cup!! It was dangerously hard it could've been considered a weapon!! The beef shawarma plate arrived lukewarm, like it just got out of bed and wasn't ready for the day. And no salad anymore? What in the hummus happened here?!?!?! Speaking of which, shoutout to the hummus... it's still holding it down like the last reliable friend in a friend group that's falling apart. Theu need to step up the overall quality since there's so many other Mediterranean food competitors in the area.

Tuesday, 6-16-2026: I was invited to lunch by 2 wonderful friends, who highly recommended this…read moreeatery. It was nice catching up with them. When I arrived they had delicious Baba Ganoush & pita bread at the table. This is a classy, beautiful restaurant. Since we had returned from Texas and had overindulged on delicious BBQ & Tex Mex, I wanted to have a vegetarian meal. So, I chose the Mixed Vegetable Stew served over aromatic Basmati rice. What a superb choice. The flavor was above board with the perfect mix of exotic spices. I savored every bite. Portions were generous so I was able to take some of my stew home. My friends both had chicken and loved their meals. They, too, had to go containers. Service was friendly and adequate. Would love to return and try more dishes.

Not our favorite Mediterranean restaurant…read more The Mediterranean food was super mid. I was really unimpressed with the falafel lover meal that only came with 4 falafels on the plate and some rice lol The rice was wet with maybe yogurt? I was not a fan of that. The wet rice was gross. There was only 4 falafels. I love falafel and thought the falafel lover would have more than just 4. Seemed like a rip off for what you get. My husband ordered chicken and rice and the chicken was stew-like. It looked unappetizing and he said it was gross lol I just don't understand the flavors of this Mediterranean place. We would not come back. Ambiance was midrange as it was not too busy and not dead.

Soo fresh and delicious!…read more I've been eating so much junk food lately so just had a need to eat something healthy, hoping it would be delicious too, ohhh my gosh, it was. I binged on a YouTube channel where this guy made Arabic food. He had a video of him making hummus. Well, of course, I started craving hummus and pita after that. I ordered a gyro plate and salad. It also came with some hummus that wasn't listed on their menu so it was a happy surprise. I also ordered hummus and it was as creamy as the one on YouTube looked. All so yummy, well spiced and totally delicious. Because I ordered it delivered I didn't see what the place looked like inside. I plan to go there though so will update then. .

I was still able to actually taste the beefiness of the meats. If that makes sense, then you know what I'm talking about. The grill and char added an extra layer.

Sadly, they don't have GYROS!! The ORDER took about 20 minutes!!! We were starving!!! CHICKEN KABOB PLATE: 8/10 The chicken kabobs were tender and flavorful. I really enjoyed dipping it with the garlic sauce. The rice was more like a coconut flavored rice rather than yellow rice. The salad was fresh. The hummus was good.
