Greeted with a warm friendly smile is always a good start. The fried cauliflower was just amazing the curry aioli sauce with pomegranate made it the best cauliflower I've ever had . Jalapeno devil eggs was creamy and full of flavor . Habibi hummus plate with homemade tzatziki chimichurri sauce left me wanting more. To finish off with the best chicken shawarma tasted one of a kind . I can't wait to go back and try more delicious food. It doesn't stop there you must try the specialty cocktails. Flowers for my baby I couldn't drink it without smiling! Just think of how a hibiscus flower smells and drinking it. My favorite was lime in the coconut I could drink it everyday . The jalapeno and coconut garnish inside mixed together so well. I will be returning very soon. Amhad is a amazing chef that will always please all 10,000 taste buds read more

Solana Beach Kitchen - Habibi hummus plate and Chicken shawarma - New American Near Me - Solana Beach, California

Fresh, flavorful and delicious. Friendly service. Authentic flavors. Hummus was absolutely wonderful

Deviled eggs were the best dish. Calamari was a bit dry, but not the worst I've had. Tacos were a hard 4. The guy serving us was a bartender so I'm not sure he typically serves food, but he did fine. Got a couple of things wrong on one of the orders, not sure he was responsible as he was just the person delivering it to the table. I enjoyed the ambiance and the cool plant propagations by the bathroom. read more

This review might be tmi but I don't care. I came in here this morning half way to death from a hangover. Sam let me in to use the restroom and immediately her good vibe made me want to stay to have a bit to eat. Her and Wyatt got me everything I needed and we're just awesome. Food was good, convo was good, everything was so good!! Loved it, thank you guys! read more

Had a $20 club here Very uncooked bacon Bad chicken with lots of grizzle Avocado was really a guac spread Unripe Tomatoes Fries tasted like they were cooked in the old Alphonsos tortilla fryer Not good at all read more

Food was amazing (as usual!), fun ambiance, and great service. We had the hummus plate, cauliflower, salmon entree, and a side of steak. Perfect fuel after a tough @F45sb workout! read more

We tired this new place today and man did we love it. The service was great the food even better. Fresh, clean and healthy choices. Great bar, great patio, plenty of room for big parties. The prices for todays market are Very fair. We won't pass here without stopping in for sure. read more

The food was amazing! Hot chick sando and hummus was sooooo good!!! Miranda was an awesome bartender and was so sweet and helpful and she made the best margaritas! The only thing I knocked stars for was a lady I can only assume was the manager who was very rude. She was terrible to her staff and she seemed drunk. Also, I like country but it was just super depressing country songs over and over which kinda killed the vibe. read more

Reliably delicious and a happy hour that delivers. What more could one want? Oh, it's so close to the beach and in warm weather a great place to hang with my puppies. read more

Food was great. Environment...great. Service..amazing! However, there was one wrinkle with my experience here. The owner, an older gentleman, really rubbed me the wrong way. First off, he smelled like cheese. But not the good Colby Jack cheese you get on sale at Costco. I'm talking that high, stinky cheese that is 9 days past its expiration date. He didn't say hi to me, as I waved both hands overhead. I then proceeded to stand up to use the restroom and passed him as he left the men's room. I walk into the men's room, and to my surprise, the worst stench is coming from the big stall. It was the owners stall. Overall, I'm still giving this establishment a 4 stars. But, I am giving the owner a 1 star, and his bathroom business a 0.5 star. Have a great day! read more

The food here is very fresh and tasty. There are some unique choices and I appreciated having new options to choose from; if I'm eating out, I like to try new things. Service was good, efficient & friendly. The restaurant is clean and open, so it feels quite comfortable and relaxing. I will definitely return if in the area. read more

Great food, drinks, and service! Stopped in based on other yelp reviews and it did not disappoint. We also had the flowers for baby which was awesome as well. read more

Please change your menus so they reflect what is currently available at the bar. And if people are there for happy hour and they go to pay, please don't charge them full price so they have to make an embarrassing comment that they needed that three dollars off per drink. That is something the bartender should 100% be paying attention to. Nobody wants to look cheap in front of others but there's a reason we go to happy hour. Disappointed. read more

The Solana Beach Kitchen has outstanding tasting food. It is a sports bar with a fun atmosphere. This is a cashless restaurant. Thank you.

Amazing service, great drinks, delicious food. This is a great spot. It's a great place to hang out too, check it out!!!

First place we ate on the day we arrived. Great food for sure, not such friendly service for our first impression of California. Very close to our AirBB and enjoyed our meal very much read more

Food and service were both good. We started with the appetizers jalapeño deviled eggs. Fancy and tasted good and the calamari which was alright. For the main dish I ordered the hot chick sandwich. It was a pretty good. My wife ordered the fish tacos which she said was good. Nothing we had was amazing just "pretty good" and kind of a been there ate there kind of thing now. Nothing pulling me back. I included photos below. read more

Came in between the lunch and dinner hours on a Sunday for snacks and hydration. The appetizer and salad menu looked amazing, and it was hard to decide on just a couple items for our party of two. We settled on the hummus plate, the charred cauliflower, and the wedge salad. First off, all three plates were huge! And more important, each dish was amazing! I'm docking one star because my wife's Diet Coke came out completely uncarbonated, and they seemed not to know how to troubleshoot that (bringing another flat one out, then accepting a change order to iced tea), but then adding one back for the cheerful server who ran back and forth to the bar several times to deal with the issue. Will definitely go back at dinnertime and try the entrees! read more

Ordered the Hot Chicken sandwich and it was spectacular! Huge chicken breast perfectly seasoned and thick, crispy skin. Got it without the cheddar, which was plenty rich enough. Wife ordered the hummus and cauliflower as an entree, and both were full of flavor, and cauliflower was cooked perfectly. I'm only here for the week, but I'm coming back here to get one more of those sandwiches under my belt. (Literally) Service was good, ambience fair, pricing fair, but the food is worth it. read more

Food was good. Service was good.Food was tasty. I had the beet salad, hubby had the fish tacos. He say they were moist. Seating outside side was nice, but they need new tall tables. read more

I work at yoga six in the forum and we had one of our monthly meet ups here along with the Solana Beach staff upstairs. I had previously tasted their food at our holiday event that they catered and they were excellent. The hummus plate is delicious (I ate the whole plate on my own) and the calamari is great as well. It's a cute little spot and I'm looking forward to coming back for brunch or one of their comedy nights! read more

I usually try to stay away from restaurants on Valentine's day but this year we have decided to go out on whim and SBK was the only place close by we could make reservation for a dinner. We had a great time! The food, wine, and service were wonderful! We really enjoyed both the appetizers (shrimp dippers, charred cauliflower, and hummus plate) and main courses (salmon and steak). Ahmed did his best to make our visit pleasant and memorable. We will be back! read more

Food and service is incredible! Ask for Tracy... she gives the best recommendations and is so happy and fun! Food is amazing... and don't even get us started on the drinks! 10/10 would recommend. Delicious! read more

Sadly , we have given this place several tries & the ambiance is terrible & the staff keeps changing . We were recently there on a Sat night & wasn't busy , so they asked us to finish up , pay our bill & leave cause they we're closing early. This was between 8:30-9PM. They also do not recognize or support locals . Hopefully they are able to turn things around or yet another restaurant closes in this same location. read more

I ate here 3 times in a 5 day trip! Late dinner, weekend lunch, late evening drinks/apps. SERVICE: hit or miss. Great two times, terrible at lunch! The great times - attentive servers with frequent check ins, drink fills, etc. Lunch server - inattentive, never refilled drinks/water, had to ask for check and then ask for it to be taken! FOOD: pretty good. Tried something different each time - shrimp burrito; fish tacos; loaded fries with brisket. Each was tasty - but needed a little something more to make it memorable. DRINKS: SO MANY GREAT LOCAL BEERS ON TAP- always a hit for me (plus my hotel was walking distance!) AMBIANCE: nothing special, but nice patio, clean, pleasant background music, a couple TVs for sports. If I lived nearby, I would keep coming here all the time! read more

Went with several friends for happy hour/dinner. Beer was flat and/or otherwise "off" -- probably need attention to their keg lines. We ordered dinner and it had not arrived after about an hour. My wife didn't feel well so we cancelled our food order and left. The others stayed and still had to wait another 20 or 30 mintues for their food, which was disappointing. It is also very noisy inside -- concrete floor and hard surfaces everywhere -- which makes it hard to have a conversation with a large group. Will not go back anytime soon. One star for the server, who was sweet but couldn't control the kitchen logistics. Hope they can reorganize, renovate and regain a better level of service and ambience. read more

Do you want the best place to celebrate with your friends? This is THE SPOT! So nice taste in all food's menu. The appetizers have special touch from the professional chef. It's really special place. You need to try :) and you will not to be disappointed Ask for Tracy. She is the best! read more

I really wanted to like this place and the food was good, albeit a little bland - we had the deviled eggs, chicken shwarma and beef skewer which was tender but rice really bland without flavor. The 3 stars is for the service which was terrible. Came in for an early bite (4 pm) - the waitress was scarce and service VERY slow even though only 6 tables were occupied. Happy hour Manhattan left a lot to be desired - just didn't taste like it was made well at all. read more

Booked my parents 50th anniversary dinner here for a party of about 30 and was extremely disappointed. It was a weekday so the restaurant wasn't particularly busy; however, it took over 1.5 hours for our whole party to get our food! To make things even worse, I ordered the salmon entree and it was raw! I had sent it back to the kitchen and waited another 15-20 mins or so for my replacement. Was in shock to find that the replacement salmon was also raw! At this point I had waited 2 hours to eat (pregnant, tired, frustrated) decided to just pay and leave without eating. Take your money elsewhere. They clearly do not care about quality and service here. I do want to add that their manager emailed me to apologize and offered a gift card which they had never sent (not that I would ever want to return to such a horrible establishment anyway). read more

Great new addition to a growing amount of new restaurants in Solana Beach. The food is straight forward , fresh quality and very good, the drinks are on point, service/chef top notch. Congratulations!!!! read more

Neat atmosphere but thought the food was just ok. Good service but there are better food options nearby
