    3.0% service charge

    The food is good, BUT the ILLEGAL practice of charging me a service fee without posting it anywhere will keep from returning. I refuse to go a place that has shady business practices. The law clearly states that there must be a visible notice before charging a service fee. I know it's only a few cents but it starts to add up when you have busy day. It took them 30 minutes to make my beef shawarma rap with fries. Others that got there before were being served and it an appeared to me that the owner knew these people and was giving them preference. I will not be returning. Shady people and shady business!

    Sinbad-themed decor

    Love the ambience of this place. They had a Sinbad cartoon playing on the monitor, and there was Simbad decor throughout. Nicely designed venue that is well-lit and clean. Food was terrific as well. My best friend and I enjoyed the different options. Would recommend.

    Chicken katsu with fries
    Dung N.

    The day before New Year's Eve, my friend invited me here for my lunch. They had just opened, so there were a bunch of bouquets and dates on the side counter. Behind the main counter were the spitfire grills of lamb and chicken. We share katsu chicken, burger, steak sandwich, fries, and chips. The food was good and had a unique fusion. I never had Mediterranean food like this. For example, in a burger or sub sandwich style. Usually it's with pita bread, which they also offer. Service was nice and friendly- we were checked up on often!

    Sinbad Burger

    Actually best burger in california. Everyone was so sweet and welcoming. The burger is so worth driving 2 hours for, it's so juicy and saucy like genuinely wow tastes amazing. I will be recommending this place to everyone.

    Sinbad Mediterranean Cuisine is fast and casual Middle Eastern Eatery. You order at the counter and have a seat while they make your food. They also have ready fried chicken, chicken tenders, fried fish, french fries, biscuits, and homemade potato chips. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, which also comes as a plate or with beef. The wrap comes with fries, but I asked them not to put them in the wrap but on the plate. I also had a side of yellow basamti rice. The wrap, which was $8.99 plus tax, was quite good. The chicken had a very good flavor, but it was a little on the dry side. I was just glad its tastiness made up for the dryness. The pickles were tasty, and the garlic sauce was fire. It was great for dipping the whole wrap. The fries were decent, but the yellow rice was excellent. I liked it flavor and loose texture that it offered. The food was good and the service was friendly. What else could you ask for?

    Chicken Shawarma plate
    Melad T.

    I recently had the opportunity to dine at Sinbad Mediterranean. This place has potential to be decently good. I ordered a chicken shawarma plate, only because they ran out of beef shawarma. The food itself was decent, but my friends and I noticed they added something sweet to the meet, which had a slight weird taste to it. The cashier was beyond friendly and was very helpful. The restaurant itself was kind of small, therefore I recommend taking the food as takeout.

They definitely invest their time on the taste of their food and serving large portion sizes instead of fancy tables and decor. It's not upscale fine dining... the interioir looks the exact same for past decade. Although a little dated the place is very clean and fits large or small groups. Not a date night spot -- more a friends and family stuff your face kind of place. They have a dedicated parking lot with plenty of spots. We ordered a ton of food to share. Half roasted chicken with side of fatoush salad, beef kabob plate with side of rice, lamb tikka with side of fries, a large plate of hummus, and an order of falafel (Best Falafel in SoCal). EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! I personally didn't like the lamb tikka but everyone else destroyed that plate. We ordered a pot of black tea (mint flavored) and they brought our large pieces of steaming hot fresh bread. Service was very friendly and fast. They modified any order to your liking. They also thanked us for coming and meant it when they said it -- Mom and Pop shops are The Best! Highly Recommend if you're looking for good quality middle eastern food with large portions.

I have been eating their food since the Southpark Truck days, phenomenally delicious. Thanks!

    I loved this place! The night before coming here for takeout, I had Mediterranean food down at…read moreSeaport Village. It was tasty and satisfying... but this place BLEW MY MIND. The moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted and asked if I wanted a table for one. I said no, I was hoping to order takeout, and she kindly invited me to sit at the bar while I looked over the menu. Right away, the atmosphere felt welcoming, beautiful, and relaxed. I ordered my food, sipped my water, and honestly didn't think I had ordered that much. Then she came out with multiple filled brown bags of food! First of all, the prices were amazing. Second... the food was TOP NOTCH and completely different from what I had the night before. Everything was packed with flavor without being overloaded with salt. Fresh, vibrant, rich, and incredibly satisfying. The waitress/hostess was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave great recommendations on what to try. You can tell the staff truly cares about the experience. I will absolutely be back the next time I visit San Diego again. And not that I recommend eating while driving ... but the next day on my drive back to Ventura County, I spread out my leftovers and happily snacked on hummus, baba ghanoush, and dolma all the way home. That alone says everything about how good this place was.

From the first bite, it was clear this isn't just food, it is craft. You can taste the care, the precision, and the pride. Every element felt thoughtfully prepared, balanced, and deeply satisfying without trying too hard. The standout for me was the biryani, comforting, and perfectly executed. But everything impressed. The tzatziki was bright and refreshing, the hummus topped with beef shawarma was rich and flavorful, and the ney classic plate was generous enough to easily feed two, maybe even three, without sacrificing quality anywhere on the plate. It was the perfect way to try a lot of their items at once and that one disappointed! What really says it all is that I am already looking forward to the leftovers, which is rare for me. This is the kind of place that stays with you, not just because it is good, but because you can feel the heart behind it.
