We ordered takeout through Yelp. Not sure whose fault it was but Luna Grill never saw the order. I called Yelp/Grubhub to verify and they confirmed the order and called Luna Grill. It had already been 25 minutes and Luna Grill said it would be another 20-25 minutes so we just canceled the order and left. read more

I've never been a fan of Mediterranean or Greek but this place has me sold! I've been on a bit of health kick lately and this was place is perfectly suited for my new diet. I ordered a mahi mahi plate, opted for all salad with grilled tomatoes instead of rice and pita bread. The BF ordered a gyro plate. The plate was great overall except the mahi mahi was bit over seasoned with salt. It was a little better with the yogurt sauce on top. The salad was great but also a little over dressed with dressing. It was very refreshing and light. The food tasted fresh. My BF really enjoyed his gyro plate with rice and pita bread. Atmosphere was really relaxing and it had a great ambience. They have televisions around the restaurant. Well kept and very clean. They have a nice outdoor seating area too. Customer service is always on point here no matter which location I try. They check on you and the have table service. Great place to come for healthy fresh meals. We'll be back! read more

Horrible service. Covid 19 is not an excuse to slack. Waiting extra 20 minutes for an already late order is absurd. read more

We've been pretty disappointed lately with our orders. They're always out of something. Usually the tabouleh or dolmas. Which is a Greek specialty and you would think they should have available. The wraps recently have been all bread and like 3 pieces of chicken and some tomatoes. It's like the McDonald's version of Greek food. read more

Good food but I'm pretty sure they were overwhelmed with the amount of people eating there at prime time dinner hours. I'm giving 4 stars because the prices are a little high and they forgot my Feta Fries on the initial order delivery to the table. When someone came to check on us I asked about the order of Fries, she said she would check and bring them out. 10 minutes went by and we asked again, she made a face like she forgot. Our original help came to check and we told him about the Fries. The girl comes back with the French Fries 5 minutes later & I tell her we ordered the Feta Fries. I wasn't really mad because it was very busy, regardless they messed up on service and I'm recommending they rename the fries to "Fiasco Fries" especially if this happens often. read more

Luna Grill El Camino Real - Pitta with flat cut chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Carlsbad, California

This location serves half the portions of what all their other locations serve in San Diego County. I eat from Luna grill often and there's a major difference. Literally half the chicken than what's pictured and half of what the rest of the chain serves. read more

Shoutout to Tanner man, he's the employee on the front lines handling business. An angry, drunk customer who wanted to get free food by throwing a tantrum was tamed by this man. Apparently that customer comes in weekly and Tanner is ready to mitigate the situation every time. I love Luna Grill, I go here to enjoy delicious food and normally it's pretty chill here. But that guy was on the loose, hungry for success and Tanner kept his composure. That's the kind of service and clear thinking under pressure that's inspiring. If you're reading this Tanner and ever considered Real Estate, you can get your license and I'll personally refer you to the company I work for: Realty ONE Group Pacific--office in Carlsbad. It's the #13th highest producing office in the entire branch of 427 offices worldwide and ranked #1 by Forbes for being the Top Global Franchiser etc. etc. and I'm completely serious about this referral. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is Tanner's composure is what the world needs and Luna Grill is thriving because of the restaurants ability to hire exceptional team-members. Great job! read more

Great food, and the new Costal Med Bowl is an amazing plant-based/vegan option for those who don't consume animal products. My only complaint is the consistency of the serving size in the bowl. I've ordered it 4 times this week (yes, it's that's good), but twice I felt like the order had been short on ingredients. Literally less than half, maybe 1/4 of the bowl was filled. Sorta feel like you're getting ripped off when you want to fill your belly, but your meal is gone after a few small bites. read more

Usually eat mediterranean food at the Kebab shop in Mira Mesa ( phenomenal for those that have not tried it who love Luna grill) but tonight I decided to go to Luna Grill. It's across the street from my house and I NEEDED a Greek salad. Ingrid helped me out and she was so kind. She was patient with my husband and I as we ordered and gave us glowing reviews on the items we inquired about. The menu has so many delicious options it was so difficult to decide!! Her service will definitely have us returning!! ( probably tomorrow to try the Lemon chicken soup)! So glad we stopped In Tonight and got to meet her and have an overall fantastic meal & evening!! read more

I had the chicken kabob plate - it did not come with hummus I had to pay $1.28 after receiving my food. In a nutshell it was overpriced, I waited a long time to receive my food, chicken's flavor was a bit off. I love Mediterranean food and for the price point I figured I'd get quality but it was lacking. The staff were friendly and gave me a heads up about the long wait time but I left feeling disappointed. The best part was my stone ipa beer. read more

We love Mediterranean food and we are super picky. The food is fresh and there are so many options. The price is very good considering the quality and freshness. We had chicken plate and hummus, both were delicious. I was also glad that they had organic iced tea. I've seen other locations in the area, we will be back soon! read more

The restaurant is pretty clean and it has plenty of seats inside. When I placed my order, it took less than 15 min to get my food. I ordered the gyro signature plate, and it was delicious. Their hummus was really good as well. I highly recommend trying this restaurant if you are craving for Mediterranean food. read more

Great food and great service! Walked by noticed this restaurant thought I would give it a try , must say I was very impressed...even though they were busy the girls and the tall boy kept up their professional demeanor ....I will definitely go back soon! read more

Food was great but wait was terrible. We ordered in person two salads and waited over 25 minutes. Seems that everyone that ordered online had their meals done before ours. Got asked multiple times if we were waiting for a mobile order but nope; still that same order we ordered in person. As we waited we watched the cooks place raw meat on the grill and proceeded packaging all the other meals including our salads with the same gloves. read more

I was pleased to find good Mediterranean food in Carlsbad. I ordered a gyro with a greek salad and a side of falafel. The food was fresh and delicious. The portions were very large as well. As it was my first time the staff was pleasant and helpful with my order. The ambiance at Luna Grill was casual. The restaurant was very clean. I recommend this restaurant and intend to visit it again. read more

We ordered Luna Grill tonight looking for a less expensive alternative to our our normal sushi or Italian orders. The 3.75 brownie is literally the .50 cent brownie you pulled from the car dealership vending machine. Ordered extra meat and a Greek salad. Food was as expected, but by the time uber eats added their charge (we pay montly) it was $70.00 for a .50 cent brownie and 2 small plates. Absolutely not worth it. Look at the pictures and tell me that's a $70.00 meal... read more

I'm so glad I recently tried this newer Mediterranean spot in Carlsbad's mall. It is fresh, healthy, and delicious! The family and I will definitely start coming here more often (we've already been twice in the last month.) Located right next to the entrance of the new Regal Cinemas in the Cbad mall, this restaurant is in prime location for those looking for a bite to eat either before or after enjoying a movie right next door. They have ample seating both inside and outside, taking advantage of the year-round comfort of outdoor eating here in SoCal. Inside, they have a counter where you place your order, then you find your seat and can enjoy the sports playing on their two flat screens on opposite walls of the restaurant. The decor is modern and unique, making the environment comfortable and gives you the feeling of a higher end restaurant, very nice touch. The food is delicious! And such big portions as well! I normally finish my food at most places, but both times I've gone, I have taken some food home to enjoy later. (It holds up nicely in your fridge for a day or two, if it lasts that long haha.) I've gotten the lamb kabob plate and gyro, both of which are absolutely amazing! They come with a side of their delicious rice, a salad, and pita bread. I have added their spicy feta cheese both times, which is the best feta side dish I've ever had! Add on top of that some beer and wine to pair with (in addition to a soft drink fountain and milks for the kiddos), and you've got the perfect meal! The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because it gets a little noisy inside, which makes conversation difficult. But overall a very great place that we will continue to frequent! read more

Luna Grill El Camino Real - Chicken kabob plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Normally a 4 out of 5 prior to the pandemic due to always being slow. When I went in the month of June (during pandemic), the wait was even worse and the chicken kabob plate was HALF THE SIZE in a little container. I understand that businesses try to make as much money as they can during this time but it shouldn't come at the expense of the customer. Very disappointing. It is good food though so I recommend going to a different location. read more

It is a sad day in America when I have to update a review and put down a business that I previously raved about, the type of business that has catered three parties for us, but that just goes to show you that a manager can make or break a business. Two years ago I wrote the following [We have been here already twice and we are trying to taste every single dish! I love the fries with the feta and the place itself has a nice trendy ambience. Sometimes it can take some time till you are able to order or receive your food (~15min wait) but I like the fresh taste and the portions are big enough to share! The food is delicious! Even if something isn't right, you can easily 'complain' and the staff will take care of it with the friendliest smile ever! What I highly appreciate are the cleans bathrooms!] Today, on our second visit since this Covid crisis, I ordered a couple of dishes as my husband, an African-American, drove to the business to pick up our order. When he arrived, as the sign outside indicated, he telephoned them to let him know he was outside. As with the time before, he expected them to bring the order out while he handed them his card to cover the amount, instead, they asked him to park and come inside. The moment he walked in, the manager started yelling at him and asked him to put on a mask. My husband was very startled and said that he did not bring his mask because he had not intended on coming inside the business. The manager screamed at him to get out. My husband first offered to give him his debit card and said he will wait outside for the food to be ready. The manager refused. Then my husband looked around and noticed there were several people dining in and not one of them had a mask on. He asked the manager how is it possible that those people could be sitting inside without a mask and yet he is being yelled out for not having one. The manager replied, "Because those people are dining in!" My husband told him that his statement logically did not make any sense (because it assumes that everyone dining in does not have Coronavirus and everyone getting take out does) and he asked the manager once again to get his food. The manager walked over and handed my husband a napkin, to use as his mask, and asked an employee what was his order and quickly got it together. As he was doing so he said to my husband, "I don't understand you people, they tell you to wear a mask and you don't; it's not difficult." My husband replied, "Don't worry I won't be back." And then he walked out. Luna Grill should review their customer service policies and treat their customers, whether they are eating in or taking out, with dignity and respect. My husband is a good guy and he's not some anti-masker trying to cause trouble, and yet he was treated cruelly and disrespectfully even though we have easily given this business over $3000 worth of income over the years here in north county. read more

I'm updating my review from 3 to 1 stars. I have finally given up with this place. Order was all wrong, I felt like the staff had no since of urgency. They seemed almost burnt out. Kinda felt bad for them because they were busting their butts. Waited 40 minutes, I should have gotten delivery because it seems as though the 3rd parties were getting most of the attention then the people who were actually coming in to eat there. I hate giving one star but if it helps with what the company needs to do, then I hope it's worth something in the end. read more

Solid healthy wise food. Salads are excellent and interesting. Staff is nice. Bathrooms are clean. I feel their menu has improved immensely over the past several years. I wasn't a fan at first but the variety of salads and the quality has brought me back. Just learned about their new app. Going to try it and earn some point. read more

Second time at this place and I absolutely love everything about it, the guy at the register was super friendly and helpful. My husband and I ordered the chicken and sirloin plate and it's so delicious, we loved it!! We'll definitely come back read more

I really enjoyed this Luna Grill location. The food was fresh and prepared quickly, the dining area was kept fairly clean, and the staff was friendly and attentive. I do wish the prices were just a tick or two lower for a casual-dining establishment, but I was very satisfied with my meal here and would return. read more

I'm rating this a 4 not a 5 because the manager made it right. I order through yelp to pick up my lunch and found unwanted items in my lunch. I called the restaurant to tell them and spoke with the manager and he remade my order and brought it to my work. That's going over an beyond for my expectations. For that I am grateful they listened and made it right. Thank you. read more

Really disappointed with catering. I had placed an order through catering the day before. Showed up 8minutes before scheduled pick up time. They had just started the order. It was not only not ready at scheduled time but was 17minutes late. I unfortunately was then late to my meeting by 15 minutes. The store said they were sorry and offered me utensils....won't be using for catering in the future. read more

My husband & I ate at the Hillcrest location today and had an amazing visit from the moment we walked in. We were greeted immediately by a very friendly and helpful employee, Emily who was very informative and patient with my indecisive ordering. She never rushed me or make me feel as if I was an inconvenience to her whatsoever which is rare with today's lack of "customer service"! Oh and not to mention the food was amazing! We will definitely be back! read more

I am kind of a creature of habit and order the chicken kebabs almost every time, but I know what I like. With Luna Grill I know I can expect a certain quantity that has become a standard. It's fresh and good and no frills hearty food. read more

Amazing customer service, that lamb to die for. Amazing with tzatzaki sauce give them back their credit card tips smhhh

I have such a love hate relationship with this plate. The food is good, but they are consistently sooooo slow. I just waited 45 minutes for them to tell me they burnt my chicken and it would be another 20 minutes. I've cut them slack enough times. I'm finally done with this particular location. read more

Great! But taking stuff off the menu that makes them stand out. Like the drizzle of olive oil on the rice as well as the grilled tomatoes! I definitely still love it though. I always get the chicken kabob plate with rice, and Greek salad. You feel full but not overly weighed down . My husband loves the grilled sirloin and chicken kabob plate. I definitely would recommend read more

I usually loooooveee Luna Grill . But this location seems to be a bit skimpy . Which I don't understand why. I got a regular house salad and added chicken. Which they charged 5.00 dollars for . I asked if the amount of chicken was the same as in a regular plate and they said yes . But when I got home I had like 4 pieces of tiny ass chicken . I could have gotten the amount of chicken at the store for less than a dollar . So disappointed. Do better . read more
