First, the service was outstanding. Kind, professional, and friendly with our two kids. There were 6 people in our party and everyone gave two thumbs up. We had beef, chicken, kefta kebabs, gyro plates, hummus, baba ghanoush, salads. And everyone left stuffed. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

New to the area and we've been checking out different spots nearby, and Wild Thyme seriously impressed us. Easy 10/10. The food was amazing. The gyro meat was so good and full of flavor that even my picky little boy was eating it nonstop, which says a lot. We ordered the gyro plate, hummus, and falafel and everything was delicious. Fresh, well made, and super satisfying. This is definitely our new go to Mediterranean spot. I honestly wish we had tried this place sooner. The restaurant itself was nice and quiet too, which made the whole experience even better. We'll for sure be coming back. read more

To be honest, I had never heard of this place but I discovered it while browsing the synergy gift card website looking for a place to eat. I love Mediterranean food and was instantly intrigued. Decided to give it a chance and am so glad I did! Started with their lentil soup which was a bit spicier than most other lentil soups I've tried but tasted homemade and was served with the obligatory slice of lemon. Always nice to start a meal on a nice warm note. Ordered the chicken kabob plate which came with two boneless chicken breast kabob skewers that were very tender and not nearly as charred or crispy on the outside as other places I've tried and to be honest, I like them better this way. I found the chicken breast to be very tender and moist and delicious with the garlic sauce it was served with. Also came with a nice portion of hummus and rice and a traditional salad with olive oil and lemon and dill dressing with cucumbers and fresh tomatoes. Everything tasted authentic and homemade to me, I especially like the hummus which was very mild compared to stronger tasting hummus like you buy in a grocery store etc. Also recognized the owner of this place from another former favorite Mediterranean hookah restaurant like this one that was in bankers Hill for many years called med Cafe. Perhaps that's why the food tastes so good and authenticure is because the owner has years of experience. Oh and a few other positives about this place, they have their own on site parking lot, they are open till 1:00 a.m. everyday! Including the kitchen, and they have hookahs on a covered outdoor patio area. It was quiet the night I went, but the owner said it's very popular with college students from SDSU just down the street. And the owner is very friendly as well. Planning to come back many times in the future! read more

Food is really good , friendly stuff highly recommended they have a lot of vegetarian options

The service here was excellent. No problems there. The food was delicious. I got the baba ghanouch and wow it was delicious and the presentation. A good smokey flavor which u loved and the pita bread was thinner than most and a little flaky which was good. The falafel was good also. Falafel can tend to be a little dry but this was good. Loved the crunchy outside and the softer inside. The sauce was great. The baklava was really good buttery and flaky and loaded with flavor. I didn't try the gyro sandwich but looked amazing. read more

Staff was very friendly and the food is excellent! Hands down, the best chicken shawarma in town. Reasonable prices and generous quantities. Oh, and it's open late :) read more

I ordered this through door dash so unsure how the service and ambiance is in person. The food though was decent. I liked the salad and the dressing that came with it, very refreshing and fresh tasting. The tzatziki sauce and hummus that came with the beef kabob was delicious and I'd definitely order those sauces separately if I could to take home. The kabob and rice on the other hand was okay.. flavor was kinda there but it was pretty dry, and the rice was nothing special. Not sure if I'd order here again. read more

Wild Thyme Bar and Grill - a tray of food - Mediterranean Near Me - San Diego, California

The hidden gem of San Diego in terms of mediterranean food. Bill & Dino along with their friendly pup Charlie take care of every customer. The chicken shawarma plate is some of the best food I've tasted.. seriously. Why this place isn't busier is beyond me but I hope that changes. This is a place that deserves more recognition as one of the best food spots in the city. read more

I give this place a 5/5. I got the combination plate as I wanted to try a variety of what they have. The chicken and beef kebabs are amazing, perfectly cooked. The restaurant is a clean and well kept place and the server was very kind and attentive. read more

Wow just wow. The beef kabob is out of this world, was not expecting it to be this tender and delicious. The chicken has so much flavor and the texture was amazing. Hummus and the salad were so good. Will definitely be coming back read more

The owners are Very friendly and personable . The food is fresh and tasty. The place is clean, especially the bathrooms. If you need to relax after dinner, order Hookah read more

Cruising for a late night falafel delivery, and thankfully, Wildthyme was still open. Their falafel sandwich featured very well seasoned green falafel (Fava beans!) , pillowy pita, hummus and mixed salad. Would have liked more pickled veg. to amp up the brine factor. SO enjoyed the gyro sandwich. The fries though. I come from an Irish lineage so it's very rare that I encounter a displeasing potato preparation. Unfortunately, these fries were wet, from moisture gathering in the plastic container. Beyond that, the texture of each fry itself was weirdly smooth and plastic-like. I could not eat more than two bites. Overall, would return for the falafel sandwich as good delivery falafel is not easy to come by. read more

Ordered delivery this evening. We had high hopes but, to be honest, everything was very bland. From the hummus, the falafel, to the garlic sauce. The pita was flat & rubbery. Even the salad dressing was bland. Mediterranean food should be super flavorful. This wasn't. read more

Very friendly, quick and delicious!! The restraunt is clean. And atmosphere is very family like. Super kind gentlemen . Thank you for such great service read more

Wild Thyme Bar and Grill - Chicken kabob plate , gyro plate and falafel!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - San Diego, California

Been living down the street from this place for years. Called in to order pickup, staff was so nice, gave great recommendations, and the restaurant was super clean and open late. The lamp chops were divine, as well as the chicken skewers. Order extra garlic sauce because the large amount they give you still wasn't enough. 10/10 will be ordering again. read more

I picked mixed grill today and some Falafel. The food was ready on time. The smell of the food was close to perfection, and the taste just matched. The Baklava small gift by the owners makes this family-owned restaurant feel like home. Authentic taste, and great prices! read more

I've been coming here for more than 3 years now and I will say this is one of the most consistent delicious places in San Diego . And to top it off they are open later than mostplaces in San Diego ! These guys hold it down with whatever dish you order , I guarantee you will not be displeased read more

Nice place to dine out. Excellent parking too! Friendly helpful staff. Generous portions as well. When ordering a Falafel sandwich one never knows what you'll actually get, especially here in San Diego, but here their Falafel is truly delicious. I'm looking forward to returning soon and you will too. read more

The brothers that run this restaurant do an amazing job. Their delicious and healthy food keeps us coming back. We are big fans of their gyro sandwich. But, anything else we get from here is always good too. Knowing the food will be high quality every time has kept us coming back here for years. read more

I've been here maybe a half dozen times and try to go every time I'm home in SD. First time was at 1 AM so even half-decent food would've sufficed, but me and my friend couldn't believe how good the food and service was (staff stayed after closing to make our order) so I came back a few days later to confirm my suspicions (and they've been repeatedly confirmed). Anyway, it's the best Mediterranean food I've ever had, the staff is super friendly and clearly cares a lot about the quality. I get the chicken kebab plate with baklava, the whole thing looks totally unassuming and tastes incredible. Do yourself a favor and visit. read more

I was just attacked by their husky that runs around in their restaurant. This is the second time it has attacked someone. I am waiting on the police for a police report and will be reporting this to animal control immediately tomorrow as today is thanksgiving. The owners are reckless and have no regard for public safety as again this is the SECOND INCIDENT IT HAS ATTACKED SOMEONE. It was running around unleashed and it attacked me. The owner had no regard for my safety and continues to allow it to roam the property and restaurant. I could have been a child walking and he could have bitten anyone! I'm lucky it ran away after biting me when my boyfriend lunged at it! Pictures of the dog bite attached. read more

Wild Thyme Bar and Grill - The food was all spectacular - Mediterranean Near Me - San Diego, California

This is if not the best hookah bar/restaurant in California specifically San Diego, The owners are 2 brothers who I've known for almost 45 years , the chef Nasim is very clean and so attentive to making sure you eat the best food there , I personally don't smoke hookah but I like the smell of it ... it takes me back to the Middle East when the Middle East had its heyday. The tea and coffees are also out of this world, The main owner Nabil makes sure that you go in happy and that you leave happier and fulfilled ... their mascot is a young 1.5 year old Siberian Husky is the champion of the klan , an adorable, cute and happy dog. read more

We ordered delivery so I don't have knowledge on the restaurant environment. The combo plate was $22 and the chicken was the best protein - super tender! The steak was tough and a little bland. The falafel had great texture and was cooked well, I enjoyed the nutty flavors. The side orders were great and necessary to complete our meal. I would say the food was 3.5-4 stars, worth a try! read more

I usually get the gyro, Mediterranean salad and the baklava. This is one of my favorite restaurants. Thank you!

I'm a true addict I've been eating here 1-2 times a week since I moved to San Diego and I get the same thing almost every time. Greek salad with chicken add an extra chicken kabob! Love this place so much doesn't hurt that it's walking distance from my place read more

Wow!!! The food is so fresh and delicious, you can tell the high quality and attention that went into every dish. I have been here many times now and it never fails the food is consistently amazing! The customer service is the best, everyone is very welcoming. They don't hound you or push you out. This time I tried there smoked salmon which was the special of the day and it melted in my mouth. I felt like I couldn't get enough and would eat the whole fish. I am a huge hummus fan and now I can never go back to buying it from a store or anywhere else. What a difference it makes when it is made fresh! I highly recommend coming and trying everything on the menu. It is a great environment for and occasion from solo lunch/dinners, date night, to family feasts! Make sure you don't miss out! The hookahs are very smooth and flavorful. I no longer smoke at home I will only come here. My new favorite place! read more

The first time I ordered from here, I open my bag and to my surprise I see a small togo box with a note that says, "thanks for your support! :)" inside the box included the most delicate and delicious homemade baklava. The food here never disappoints! Fresh tasting hummus and rice, and chicken cooked perfectly! My favorite part of this meal is enjoying a slice of their homemade baklava that just melts in your mouth. This place will give the kebab shop a run for their money. read more

I used to frequent a Middle Eastern restaurant for 20 years in downtown San Diego, it finally closed, it all happened before 2020, I was bummed. I needed to fill that void. I started to ask around what happened to one of the key workers and chefs that worked at my old spot, and I found out he opened his own place. The very moment I found out where he was, I got in my truck and drove there. I was so happy to see the dude and that he had started his own business. His food is very-solid. I love how he prepares his rice, his hummus, and his kabobs are simply just the best in SD. Things as simple as his salads, and his dressings are absolutely works of art. Some people just have a knack for making good food, this dude is that man. Go here, order up and enjoy how spectacular it all is. read more

Great food, great service and the ambiance is smooth!!! The food is fresh, made to order, top quality ingredients. The hookah (out door) is made to perfection. The owner is present and treats every client as family. This place is a must if your in the San Diego area. read more

I ordered take out from them and the food was amazing. Such a nice touch that they added a dessert with a note " Thank you for your order, this is from the house" Awe...so sweet...literally! The food was amazing and now that we can eat indoors I'll go there in person. I can't only imagine what an amazing service they must have. read more

Got a chance to check out the new Wild Thyme Bar and Grill by SDSU. This is a Mediterranean style restaurant that serves up everything from Kebab plates, Gyros sandwiches, felafel, and if you're the type to smoke hookah after a meal, then this place might be for you! This is a new restaurant and new ownership. The new owner has renovated the place with a more modern look and is still planning more improvements to the business with patio in the back with an extensive beer and wine selection. We had noticed business was open and decided to give it a try. The place is bright, spacious, and was very clean. The highlight was the food! We decided to have two Kebab beef plates and the portions were generous and was served with two ground sirloin kebabs, hummus, salad, rice, and pita bread. We had also ordered a side of fries and some felafel with our meal. Everything was made fresh and in house! We noticed the prices were pretty affordable. We saw Gyro, beef, chicken, and other sandwich options averaging about $6 bucks with full plate meal options averaging $13 bucks. There was a lot of food for the money! We opted to stay for some hookah and enjoyed the rest of the night! Great new option in the college area and will come again! Bonus...first restaurant that had a bidet in the restroom! read more
