The food was very average. Got a bunch of kebabs a la carte- Chicken kabob - 2/5 Was pretty bland and I feel a little overcookedChicken and beef kufta kebab - 3/5 they were okay. Nothing I would comeback for. The pita was store bought.

We waited a long time to eat and since we were dining in, it was surprising to see people who came in for to go orders and even DoorDash came and got their food before us.I think there was only one cashier and one cook so I'm not sure how they prioritize it.It was Eid yesterday so the restaurant was very quiet and empty until we left we noticed more people coming in with their families.We ordered fries, chicken shawarma plate (too hard of meat to eat jerky like consistency lacked flavor), and a chicken kabobs plate, the salad was good for all our plates, and the cashier was kind. The chef was attentive whenever we came to the counter to check on us when we were waiting for our food.

This place is so good! I love the flavor of the chicken, hummus, and rice. They offer a garlic sauce too, which is delicious. There's great seating options and the restaurant is always clean. The service is always good. Definitely one of my favorite Mediterranean food spots!

Awesome Halal food and a really beautifully designed interior. The guy taking our order in the front was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Even with a line he made us feel welcomed when it was our turn to order. Lots of spaced out tables leading to comfortable seating and an environment where you can enjoy socializing at your table and eating without struggling to ignore conversations going on around you. When you walk in it's a nice inviting atmosphere and a super nice clientele. Front area has chilled food and deserts with a clear view to the chef in the back. You can see just how clean this location is and it comes across as a well oiled and efficient process.We tried the Tilapia and Pasta Plate, Gyro Plate, Baklava, Hummus plate and a drink. I will share I was stoked to see they have Pepsi :-)All the food was perfect, tasted so fresh and well prepared, perfect seasoning and incredible portions. Seriously, we got a lot of food for around 45 bucks, where can you get this quality at that price anymore?!There is a large upstairs for reservations and private events as well. A great spot to visit and fuel up for the day! Parking is interesting as it's a shared parking lot but pro tip is to park more toward the back of the strip mall area as it's easy in and easy out.

Hands down some of the BEST Mediterranean food in San Diego! I wish this place was closer to Me. I live almost 30 minutes away and I'll take the time to go here. The agyro plate is perfect, they have a delicious salad, gyro a ton of hummus and gyro on a plate, we also got the Schwarma sando today and came with a heeping portion of fries. They gave us a bunch of sauce and the garlic is my fav.

Mystic Grill replaced a longtime Italian eatery, Giovanni's, at this location in Clairemont. The refurbished interior was very clean and brightly lit. I did not go upstairs to check out the environment there so I can't comment on how it appeared. The menu screens displayed all the classic Middle Eastern dishes as one would expect. There were some pasta entrees too which I thought were unique because you normally don't see such items at this type of restaurant.I started with an appetizer of Dolmas (stuffed grape leaves). I also wanted to try the Stuffed Salmon, but it was unavailable so my alternative was the salmon with four jumbo shrimp. The plate was supposed to be served with feta cheese salad, hummus, basmati rice, and pita bread. For some reason, the kitchen made it with penne pasta slathered in alfredo sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, black olives, and mushrooms. I guess the cook may have been confused because such a pasta style with salmon and shrimp didn't even exist on the menu.Tastewise, the fish was cooked fine, but the shrimp was dry from being on the grill too long. The creamy pasta was too much for me to finish in one sitting so I took the leftovers home. Other than the faux pas with the preparation, the rest of my dining experience at Mystic Grill was positive.

We will def be back here again... our first time a couple of days ago. Ordered the Chicken Kafta kebab plate and a lentil soup. The meat was about 3/5. I will prolly try something else like the catfish or chicken shawarma... the menu has a variety to try... besides the meat plate, they also have pasta and pizza.

Really friendly guys here and they seem to have a lot of regulars come in. It's almost as if all the customers are family. Big, clean, bright dining area. Got the chicken shawarma bites-essentially a wrap cut into 5 sections. Great flavors and textures and loved the garlic, yogurt, and that yummy spicy sauce especially. Comes with a choice of salad or fries. Also got the chicken kufta that's sort of like koobideh, but ground chicken. Great flavor, lots of buttery rice, and a side salad. Hummus and flatbread were also very good. A nice, solid lunch or dinner. Mystic Grill is sort of tucked away in the back of the IHOP plaza. You can't really see it off Balboa unless you're really looking for it. Lots of parking-just park near the liquor store and walk over.

Lots of seating with an upstairs area that is suitable for hosting larger parties. Food was great and the service was quick. I was especially impressed with the young gentleman who took our order - we had a large party of 15+ and he still remembered everyone's order, and specifically who ordered what dish. Customer service here is excellent and attentive. Would definitely recommend!
