Another great experience at The Grill at Vine Ripe. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. They treat us like family. The food is consistent, fresh, hot, and delicious. Clean and comfortable seating area. Fast service. They have a new ice cream scoop case. We tried the coconut and the cookies flavors. Both were really good.

So happy we stumbled upon this gem. Everything we ordered was delicious, the beef shawarma was perfectly seasoned and the chicken tikka was so juicy. Beyond the food, the staff took wonderful care of us. A solid 5/5 experience.

This is hands down the most delicious shashlyk and lula in San Diego! I've been searching for something that feels like "home" for so long and couldn't find it anywhere -- and finally I did. 10/10. Absolutely obsessed!

Cali Shawarma

First time here and I loved it! A+ all around, from the food to the clean establishment with outdoor seating to the friendly staff. The portions are very generous and reasonably priced, I got the Cali Shawarma wrap and was barely able to finish half. It was very flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Will definitely be coming back to try other items on the menu - everything looked delicious!

The beef kabobs are just so good. Juicy and well seasoned and the plate that comes with rice, cucumber salad, hummus and pita for $16.95. The chefs and workers here are the best. Great service, quick and easy. They also offer party trays, bowls and lots of items. A takeout staple for me but they have seating on the patio too.

The other night I was craving mediterranean food sooo bad, and I almost went with one of my original favorites until The Grill at Vine Ripe randomly popped up on my door dash app . I used to eat here all the time and wondered why I haven't been back in awhile --so I went with my gut and placed the door dash order and THANK GOODNESS I did because my dinner was LIT that night . First off, the presentation of my door dashed order was beautiful . Im sure it arrived on time because of my dasher, but also-- everything was placed where it needed to be in the to-go boxes, it was hot and fresh, and I was drooling as I took photos lol . Here's what I ordered: GRILL COMBO PLATE: Perfect for indecisive people like me lol . It comes with beef shawarma, chicken, and beef kabob . Chicken was charred smokey and sooo juicy-- I ALMOST wish I had just ordered a chicken plate because I loved it so much, but the beef shawarma and beef kabob was just as delicious . The beef kabob was also a favorite bite-- so moist and well seasoned . Beef shawarma was flavorful and zesty-- totally would eat this up alone too . So grill combo plate was perfect for me as I got to sample a little bit of everything . My daughter ordered the BEEF SHAWARMA PLATE which essentially is the same as mine, except its with only beef shawarma-- she really enjoyed her plate as well . Oh and we also got a side of fries for my son, who devoured the entire box ! I love that the pitas were fresh and not hard at all . The rice was fluffy and seasoned perfectly . The cucumber salad is such a refreshing bite . The hummus was tasty . The garlic feta sauce is to die for . The tzatziki tasted so authentic . Overall, I no longer will be forgetting about The Grill at Vine Ripe-- seriously, one of the most delicious and homestyle Mediterranean food you can get in San Diego . I need to be back soon to do a review based on a dine-in experience !!

OMGOODNESS!! This place is AMAZING!!! We started shopping at the grocery store attached a few years ago. Back then, they had a grill in front of the store and cooked. The smells would make a full person hungry!! Fast forward in time, they now have a grill/restaurant attached! They now offer more of a variety of menu items! All their meats are flavorful. Halal meats. We've had their chicken, beef, ground beef, hummus, baba ghanoush, wraps, and more. All of our orders have been to go. They have outdoor seating. It's covered so you're out of the sun. They seem to do a lot of to go orders. Overall, we've had great consistency orders. The lady who took our order answered lots of our questions with patience. She brought our food packed with napkins, utensils, and sauces. We didn't have to ask. That's service! Ample parking as well.

Yummy chicken shawarma wrap! Tasty sauces. Shared an appetizer sampler and I highly recommend. Came with very parsley filled tabouli (great stuffed into each bite of the wrap), Hummus, baba ganush, cucumber salad and little pita crisps. Each was delicious. Recommend ordering a pita to go with it. Wrapped very well to go.

Hello. What type of Mediterranean food is this? Is it Lebanese?

Hi there! We make general Arabic style food but specifically Iraqi. :)

Is there a dog patio?

I was able to sign off at 330p and head over to this location. The place was empty and there were clean tables and floors when I walked in. I was greeted by the lady behind the counter, and she had a smile on her face. I ordered the beef & chicken shawarma plate, Wagyu Beef eggrolls, and a bottled drink. My food was freshly prepared. I received my order in 7-10 minutes. It smelled wonderful. I paid for extra yogurt sauce and left to take my food to-go. When I arrived home, I enjoyed a delicious meal. Everything was prepared with great flavor, portions, and care. I had the garlic sauce and the yogurt sauce with my meal. This place is one of my favorites. 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.

Something about a fully stocked grocery market makes shopping the aisles much more enjoyable. The employees are nice. Always greeting you as you walk by. Everything is clean and organized.

The employees here are all wonderful. They're always super nice and helpful…read more They have amazing sales and I recommend signing up for the weekly ads. Produce: Most produce are fresh but I've also noticed some being old or close to becoming old. But it's always worth a search for some good ones when there's a sale and I"m always able to find some good produce to take home. I've seen worst at Zion Market. Meats: Mixed Reviews as well - the sales are amazing and the meat can be quite good. It's all Halal. However, for this weekend specifically - the smell from the meat section is horribly strong. I noticed it a couple weeks ago maybe? It seems like they didn't clean whatever is going on and it got worst with time. I love this market and I don't want them to go out of business. My recommendation is maybe they clear out the meats and give the whole department a good deep cleaning. Also consider implement clean processes to keep the smell away because it's really impacting what is being sold. It's off putting to take home meats that it has a funky smell.

Both are always cooked perfectly and never dry at all. They have a ton of different sauces you can choose from, but my favorites are the garlic sauce and cilantro tahini.  They have a small parking lot that's shared with a couple of other businesses. If you come during peak meal times you may have to wait for a spot or park one lot over, but I've never really had any issues. If you're ordering during lunchtime on a weekday, they do get super busy since a lot of employees from neighboring offices come by for takeout, so just be sure to give yourself plenty of time. Overall, a great spot for some delicious Mediterranean food, and they're always super consistent!

My favorite part of the whole meal was the falafel, I really liked the flavor and it had a nice crisp crunch on the outside, tasted very fresh. The sambusa however, was dry on the inside and the outside was a little chewy? Tahini sauce was very tame, slightly nutty flavor. The bowl was good, the ingredients were fresh enough, but I really wish I got to enjoy them with all the sauces I ordered.
