Cali Kabob — Restaurant in California

We had intended to go to the Thai place next door but at 2:35pm they told us they're closing at 3pm (Sunday) and we could only order to-go... We left. We went next door to Cali Kabob and we're so glad we did! Usually, we'd go to Daphne's or Luna Grill for Kabob or Shawarma but we were happy to try it out. There were so many items to choose from! We had the Gyro Wrap and the Chicken Kabob plate. OMGOSH! They were sooo good! My husband is retired Navy and has had the opportunity to try this type of food in the Middle East and he was very impressed. The chicken pieces were generous and juicy. The rice, fluffy and flavorful. The salad, very light and refreshing - the dressing was perfect - not too acidic or oily. The Gyro Wrap was massive, the Tzatziki - perfect, creamy and tangy! The meat was seasoned to perfection and the veggies inside, fresh and crisp. It was perfect on this warm afternoon. We both had the spicy hummmus and pita - my husband perfers the thicker pita bread but this one, thinner, was perfect for me. It was also used for the wrap and they crisp it up under a paninni press - never would have thought about it but I loved the crunch it gave to my wrap.

This is a husband and wife team working hard for their family and the community. I use Luna Grill for my meal prep at times and the family packs they offer here are just as big, $10 cheaper AND I can get falafel too! If you're in the mood for great Med food, this is the place to go! I forgot to get pictures because everything looked so good, we...

Wanted to let everyone know about a wonderful local family-owned business next to Pechanga. Talking about Cali Kabob. Since discovering them a little while back, we’ve visited almost every week. Next to the pizza spot behind the gas station at Pechanga, by the RV side. It’s a really upbeat and positive dining experience, makes you feel happy just stepping inside. The ordering is easy on large touchscreens, but there is always a super friendly employee right there as well for questions or to take your order traditionally. The prices are very fair for the amount and quality of the food you get. Wife loves the chicken kabobs, juicy and seasoned just right, with the rice cooked perfectly, not dried or clumpy. She also loves the garlic sauce that comes with it. My favorite is the Gyro. This is the BEST Gyro I’ve ever had. You know how sometimes the gyro meat seems a little chunky or coarse? Good, but a little hard? Not here! This is the most tender and juicy Gyro meat I’ve ever had, I don’t know what they do, but it’s like a step above what you’re used to. The Hummus and Pita is also just so delicious. You can tell they like what they are doing in the kitchen for us, a labor of love and not just putting in hours. And the owner is a very down-to-earth guy, very friendly and welcoming to everyone coming in. Please go give them a try, you will be...

I recently visited Cali Kabob Temecula, a new restaurant in the area, and was initially drawn in by its reasonable prices. Although, the customer service was great. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of my expectations. While the portion sizes were small, I'm accustomed to sharing dishes, but I was surprised to find that this restaurant doesn't typically offer two meats per plate like most kabob spots do. The kafta I ordered was unfortunately lacking in flavor, which was a letdown. The rice was decent, and the salad was a highlight of the meal. I would suggest also including garlic spread, not just tahini as this would not only add more flavor to the dish but also provide a creamy contrast to the grilled meats. While Cali Kabob Temecula has potential, it needs to work on improving its portion sizes and flavor profiles to live up to its competitors in the area. With some tweaks, I believe this restaurant could become a go-to spot for kabob...
