Been going to this restaurant for 15 years. Best Mediterranean food in Riverside. When I want…read morecomfort food and don't feel like making it myself, this is where I go.

Haven't been to this place in years but I really wanted some Mediterranean food and it's the…read moreclosest to where I work. After eating this meal I was reminded why I don't come here. Let's break it down: -Staff is friendly and helpful but service is slow - Food is just ok and is pricey for what you get - A gyro, fries and a water was almost $20! - They do have plenty of seating inside and the interior is basic and relatively clean. They give you a tiny container of tzatziki on the side for your gyro which does nothing for the gyro. There is no additional sauce other than that small side they give you. It's pretty dry and needs more. They do give you a nice amount of meat but the taste is mediocre at best. The fries are good and were freshly made. If I'm paying $20 for this meal, I expect more in terms of quality and taste.

I give FuFu's a solid 3.5. It's a nice, quick Mediterranean eat in a food court…read more I came to visit my friend and visit nearby businesses in Riverside in a food court. The food court had a variety of options and there was ample seating inside and out. All the indoor tables were taken but ambiance was nice and seemed busy with plenty of patrons. We decided to try Fufu's and it was pretty good. It reminded me of a Mediterranean chipotle and I thought the food was pretty fresh. The cashier was nice and gave me the option to choose half lettuce and half rice. I liked the chicken with the buffalo sauce and the rice + lettuce combo tasted nice with the protein. I liked the additional toppings of the pickles and tomatoes because it tasted refreshing with the other foods. My friend unfortunately did not really like his meal. He got a beef kabob and other toppings but the meall overall didn't taste good to him. He also only had the option of just rice and wish he was presented with the option of half rice, half lettuce. Overall, it was a fresh eat and I'd eat it again for a quick lunch.

I tried the falafel at the mediterranean place which was ok. The sandwich was a little soggy and…read morebland, but the side of hot sauce helped add some flavor. My falafel wasn't fully cooked the first time I came. My friends got the beef gyro bowls and enjoyed that. They thought it was a great option! The staff is really friendly but the service is pretty slow. I'll probably skip out on this place next time for the falafel, but if you eat meat, worth trying.

Negatives: Rice was flavorless, whereas other similar restaurants, the rice stands alone. The chicken was nothing special, just tasted burnt and dry (I'm assuming it's in the sauces, considering some reviews). The salad was just salad. Service was friendly, and the ambience was nice, I enjoyed the cultural music in the background. Overall, would come back again to try the sauce toppings.

Walking in you go straight to the counter to order - menu hangs about the register. I ordered a regular gyro pita sandwich and my husband ordered the gyro pita sandwich with added pork meat and he got it as a combo with rice and a salad. Gyro meat is spot on. Love it - not too soft and not too crispy. The taztziki sauce is so good here but you must love the garlic aftertaste as it will be in your mouth for awhile!! The pita bread is sooo soft and fresh. Overall the sandwich in itself is filling and my husband felt overall full with his two sides. Our total was $29 for the sandwich and sandwich combo.

While driving by, I decided to stop here for a quick lunch, and I'm so glad I did. First of all, the place is impeccable. I work in cleaning services, so I notice these things right away. Everything was spotless. The ambiance is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. Service was fast, but what stood out was that the cashier still took the time, with a smile, to explain parts of the menu when we had questions. The prices are surprisingly affordable. When my mom hesitated because of the language, they made the effort to speak Spanish to make her feel comfortable, which meant a lot to us. We were served at our table, and honestly, the first bite was heavenly. I thought I already loved Greek food, but this went beyond anything I've tried before. Definitely coming back

The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender and well-seasoned, with amazing pickled veggies and a generous amount of creamy sauce.

I think I've never tried better hummus And yeah - portions are great for the price, definitely will come back

Came here to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday and overall had a great experience…read more It's a family-owned restaurant and you can feel that right away. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit more enjoyable. Prices are around $20 per plate, which is reasonable, especially since we ordered a few dishes and shared everything. Service-wise, the wait time was a bit longer than expected. Our food took about 30 minutes to come out, and it felt even longer considering it wasn't a busy weekend. Not a huge issue, but something to keep in mind if you're really hungry. Food was interesting in a good way. The curry dishes have a lighter color and a different flavor compared to typical Indian cuisine. You can tell it's a Pakistani style. I enjoyed trying something different, although I personally still prefer the richer, more familiar Indian flavors. The samosas were very good, and the green sauce, I believe it's called hari, was especially delicious and added a nice kick. The mango lassi drink was a surprise highlight. I'm usually not a big fan of mango lassi, but this one was super delicious. Honestly felt like a hidden gem on the menu. ***One thing to note, check your receipt before paying. They already include an 18% gratuity, and there's still a section to add an additional tip. Overall, the food was delicious, portions were satisfying, and we all left full and happy. Solid 4 stars. I'd come back again, just with a little patience for the wait.

I love the cafe and bakery as their desserts and manaqish is the best around but the girls that work there always seem unhappy and bothered to see minority women customers; they seem quite discriminative and judgmental and overall, deliver horrible customer service and should learn more about interpersonal and public communication because they're horrible. The people saying the vibe is off are correct. The owner holds a strong and friendly presence in the business and is always welcoming. The food at the restaurant is great although I mostly get the cheese flatbreads or cheese and zaaztar. These are basically Levantine pizzas and I argue they are better than pizza and no offense to Italy. The cheeses have more character and pungency than mozzarella and are palatable for just about anyone. I love Mediterranean cuisine in general and if you love it too, please try this food! They also cater. I really appreciate and love how clean and aesthetically appealing the establishments are. I give them a five-star rating because the food is excellent, the establishment seems very clean and the owner is present and welcoming, but if I wanted to, I'd give them two stars because of the girls that give such terribly unprofessional ugly looks to me and apparently, to others as well from reading the reviews. Those girls would be fired immediately from the double Forbes five-star establishment I work at. The most important part of our uniform is a genuine and welcoming smile and always greeting guests with direct eye contact is non-negotiable. They're young and are still learning so I won't rate the restaurant poorly because of some immature girls.
