    Victor's Chicken and Gyros Plate
    Gilberto L.

    Stopped by for the first time and enjoyed it! I order Victors Chicken and Gyros plate. The chicken was cooked very well imo. It was cooked through but still moist, not over cooked like so many other places (understandably I guess). The gyro was also tasty and not overdone. Both were seasoned well and had good flavor. Plate came with pita, rice and a side salad, no complaints on any of it. My buddies got fries instead of the side salad and really enjoyed them. Service was fast and friendly, counter service so can't speak for much other than that. It's a relatively small establishment but there are benches outside to enjoy your meal, as long as weather permits of course.

    Victor's Kafe serve a variety of protein choices here with their combos. They have lamb, beef, chicken, salmon and vegetarian options. I'm always greeted by George and his staffs when I walk in. The facility is always clean and they have a fountain drinks selection to quench your thirst. My favorite is The Spicy Gyro Sandwich combo which I get with fries and salad. Their dipping sauce is to die for I love it. Everything is fresh and tasty. If you like hummus and pita bread, add that to your meal. Overall it's always a great experience and please try their gyro sandwich.

    This spot was delicious! The chef was super nice and gave me the rec to try the spicy gyro plate! Food was very flavorful and delicious and large portions for the price! Rice was a tiny bit salty but the sauce made it balance out! Overall great experience and friendly staff!!

    The Pepper Plate: chicken, fries and side salad
    Mark F.

    I have visited Victor's for years! The food and service are just as good now as it was back in 2009 when I first came in for lunch. This simple shop dishing good grub quickly became a fan favorite amongst my co-workers and still gets packed during lunchtime. Here is why I like this joint: - It's family-owned - It's family-operated - The food is good - Prices are reasonable - Did I mention the food is good? Victor himself took my order this afternoon. You can usually find his sons (or are they his grandsons?) working the grill. This casual restaurant is in a small shopping plaza that is mostly occupied by restaurants. Just follow your nose when you pull into the parking lot and you will find Victor's. Just like when I first visited years ago (insert nostalgia here), my food is prepared to order. I ordered "The Pepper" with chicken (steak is the other option) and made it a combo with fries and a side salad. The chicken in my pita sammie was well-marinated and every bite was juicy from start to finish. I speak from personal experience when I warn you to be careful or you WILL be wearing those juices. Victor and the crew are friendly. You are greeted when you come in and when you leave, like you're visiting an old friend for a meal. So if you're in Poway stop in for a bite. Or if you're in Rancho Bernardo hit up the other Victor's Kafe where I often see Victor overseeing things. You can't go wrong either way! Turtley awesome grub!! ____ | *__/ _______| / -/________\ / () () 2020

    Pepper chicken sandwich add mozzarella cheese. Rice and salad

    Do not sleep on the pepper chicken sandwich add cheese. I've had a lot of Philly chicken style sandwiches, but this one is the best.

    Salad as part of the gyro plate.

    Great front line service and fast food prep times. My opinion is the amount of meat included for an $10 plate is lacking which led the 4 stars. The spicy gyro plate is amazing, rice is good and the salad tasted fresh. Over all a great spot for really good food. Pros: plenty of parking Set up is nice Lots of seating for the space Very friendly staff Cons: disconnect in value provided compared to pricing.

    Middle-eastern / Mediterranean fare at reasonable rates. Gyros in a pita, gyros not in a pita, chicken, chicken and gyros, etc. I had the chicken and gyros plate, and thought it was a decent if somewhat plain meal. The gyros meat is not high quality - it's a ground mix. The chicken is good, tasty and feels healthy. It's quite small inside, so don't plan on eating there unless you're in a bind. It's pretty narrow so it's not easy to find a space to stand and wait for your food. This place can build up a little bit of a wait during peak hours (lunch), so I recommend timing it to avoid the lunch rush. Alternatively, call in your order. I saw a few people doing that and thought I might do that next time. This place shines as a to-go lunch spot for locals who work in the area. Call it in 15 - 20 min in advance to avoid the wait, and get a nice healthy meal at a good price!

    Victor's Kafe is a bustling eatery in Poway. Ive been several times and the food is consistently good. My goto is the chicken and gyro platter. But you can order wraps and salads too! Victor's is a great place to get fresh and healthy food that is prepared as you wait. You can order ahead, as well. You may want to anyhow because seating is pretty limited. I'll definitely be back!

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.

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.
