Inside the restaurant, there are plenty of seating and there is also outdoor seating. I ordered the Gyros Plate for takeout which came to $28. Evan was kind enough to provide an extra tzatziki sauce and utensils when I asked. One thing I found surprising was the 3.89% credit card fee so bringing cash would be a better option. The portion of the gyro meat was generous, but the pita bread and the rice portions felt a bit small by comparison. The gyro meat itself was very salty which lead me to reach for water throughout my meal. The rice pilaf was flavorful and ended up being my favorite part of the plate. Unfortunately, the Greek salad was dressed with too much vinaigrette making it soggy and slightly unpleasant to eat. The olives tasted old and had a bad aftertaste. The tzatziki sauce is also very watery. For the price of the meal and my experience, it didn't meet my expectations. The food quality felt short and I don't plan on returning. This will be my first and likely my last visit.

Beef and chicken shawarma plates came without any sauce...like a classic garlic sauce or tahini. Made the meal VERY dry, as the meat was dry. Overall flavor was good though. Overall 3/5 stars. With a garlic dip, probably up to 4 stars for sure.

While I'm looking, another person walks in (seemed like a regular--he didn't order, she just told him his total and he paid). Since it was my first time, I tried to make conversation and asked what he usually gets. She redirected me with "what questions do you have on the menu?" I explained it was my first time and I was just curious since he's a regular--I figured his order might be a good place to start. She answered, I said thanks -- and I was gonna order what he ordered but because the interaction felt weird I wanted to further check if maybe I can turn it around .. so then asked what she personally likes. She said it "depends on what you want". Fair, but the tone felt off. I put the menu down, and she continued with "it depends on my mood, etc sometimes I want meat or only vegetables I work here 5 days a week." (also fair), but overall the interaction just wasn't pleasant or welcoming. I was excited to try somewhere new, but ended up saying thank you and walking out.

AHH. I love this place! I usually am not one to leave reviews for places but this place just stood out to me. I walked in on a Monday afternoon and the first thing I noticed is the décor of this restaurant is so cool, very modern. The food here is also so delicious, you can tell it is high quality considering this seems to be more of a fast food place. The only reason I give 4 stars is because of the price, but it is definitely worth it. The customer service here was just phenomenal. Aly and Laura both stood out to me the most. They were both all smiles while helping me and Aly came to check on my sister and I a couple times which is unusual again for a fast food restaurant. I just can't believe I haven't heard of this place before! I've been a couple times now and I can't wait to come back. read more

I made an account just to leave a review! Wow. I came in last night (Monday) and I left 100% satisfied. First, the place. It's so clean and nice inside, a very welcoming atmosphere. Second, the food. I've never had better medi food in my life, and I've had a lot. Yum! Fresh, and you can tell it's all good quality ingredients. Finally, the service. For a fast food place, the workers here are amazing. Aly helped take my order, and made sure to give me the cheapest price possible. She brought out my food in no time and then refilled my drink. I got to talking to her about luna grill and she was very knowledgable about the company and the place itself. A very nice girl and she definitely adds to the high quality of this place. I will be back, I can't wait to become a regular here. read more

I went to buy some lunch and the guy who helped me named Paul was sincerely interested in his customers. I miss stated the name of my venue item which Paul figured out and corrected the order. I had met a gentleman and his daughter in line and went outside to eat lunch with them. Paul figured out we were together and brought the food out to the three of us at the same time . The food was out within minutes of ordering. On his way back inside, he tracked down a customer who had accidentally left his wallet at the counter and caught the man before he got in his car. I was so inspired that I went back, ins inside and asked if I could leave a tip with my credit card. Paul, thank me but said his system wasn't able to process it. I was inspired and so wrote up this review. read more

I've been meaning to write this review for a while now because every time I visit Luna Grill, Marisela consistently provides exceptional customer service! She always greets me with a warm smile and goes above and beyond to ensure I have a great dining experience. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care for customers is unmatched. Not only is the food always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, but the facility is spotless every single time. It's clear that Luna Grill takes pride in cleanliness and quality. However, it's Marisela's friendly and attentive nature that truly makes the experience special. Thank you, Marisela, for consistently providing such superb service.

I could go on and on about how much my fiancee and i loved this place. Not just the food but the service. It was our first time at Luna grill, the nice young lady at the register treated us to a free drink and dessert!! She brought us our food, then when we were finished she brought us the dessert we picked out. Now that is some great service. I apologize that i forgot the nice ladies name but she was beyond wonderful. Very impressed with the level of service and the quality of the food. The menu has a bunch of options from different types of proteins and side dishes. I really liked how you could get your protein and make it a plate with rice and a salad. Price is reasonable.... i will be back for sure! read more

we came for for you lunch, As a server myself, I can tell i wae going to have bad service.. Clearly luna grill poway priorities are not to take care of the guest, and take it from me, a server who knows how to treat people with respect, this establishment is not worth your time and money because your night will definitely be ruined by the subpar servers they have. Poway luna grill was known for amazing service in that past and now it's like a down fall having a excellent service as Southern Hospitality, but believe that, it doesn't really take that much effort, it's simply a lack of caring to do their job properly. read more
