This is a hidden gem. Some friends invited us they ordered this huge 5-6 family dinner deal (chicken rice & veggies). Completely recommend it. Price is very moderate, we paid roughly 100.00 for 5 people, drinks included! Food: 10/10 Price 10/10

This restaurant serves extremely authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. The meat for the kabobs is very fresh, and it is cooked with both juicy and tender texture. I like the lamb and chicken the most, they are so juicy and tender! The spiciness of the beef is a bit too strong for me, maybe it's more suitable for those who prefer rich flavors. In particular, the corn tortillas next to the rice have a crispy texture and are extremely delicious. The rice also has a milk flavor that can be tasted, which probably indicates that dairy products were added at the right time. It is one of the best Middle Eastern dishes I have ever eaten! I highly recommend it to those who like to try new flavors

Very good value for food! One dish is good for 2 people. Generous portions! Their tiramisu dessert is incredible!

This restaurant is a gem! The food is fresh, served in large portions, cooked perfectly. I’ve dined in person twice and regularly order takeout from them. Their chicken has always been juicy and grilled just right! Parking is convenient since the structure is right around the corner. Not too busy and easy to get seating during the day. I hope they stay this great!

The atmosphere is stunning—so clean and the service is outstanding. But let me tell you, the food is simply exceptional! The homemade hummus platter is absolutely divine, and every dish is worth every penny. I can’t wait to come back with a larger group to share all the deliciousness. This is hands down my favorite spot at UTC mall!

Excellent food, love that they have tons of healthy and delicious options! I have tried the following dishes and they are a must: chicken pesto panini, chicken shish kabob, avocado romaine salad, and the strawberry date salad, to name a few. I also like that their lemonade and strawberry lemonade are both made fresh, unsweetened. This place is fresh and you can tell they make their dishes from scratch

The only Restaurant in San Diego we found so far, who claims to be a "True Scratch Kitchen" where they don't use any processed food or anything prepared from the last day. They prepare everything the same day and do not put any artificial preservatives. My gut never had any problems after eating at PKG ! Regarding food : You will find the best Falafel here in California. Crisp from outside and soft from inside and delicious in taste . Hummus preparation is very authentic Quantity is good and service is great as well ! Tip : Try their Green Lentil Soup

It’s honestly crazy to me how this place doesn’t have more positive reviews because it is such a gem! The value you get for the amount of food here and the quality is amazing, the service staff is so kind and friendly and attentive, and the food itself is delicious. I highly recommend getting any of the Mediterranean platters or the pasta. I’m a regular here for a reason, def check it out if you’re ever in the area!
