Karam's Mediterranean Restaurant

The best part was the owner, who we got to know a little bit. He seems very nice, and the place seems very authentic. There were very cool decor, and had a nice homey atmosphere inside.

However, I'm unhappy to say that we did not get the stellar Mediterranean food that everyone has been raving about. Our beef shawarma was bland. The tahini was runny. There was a side of limp fries that look like they have been previously frozen and simply reheated, not seasoned. They could have done so much more with the fries (added feta, or some special sauce) but chose to make them as sad-looking as possible.

For the price that we paid, we were expecting higher quality in food.

I was very impressed with the authenticity of the food.Being of Mediterranean descent I felt like I was back home!!

Food was amazing and the staff was so friendly. I had the gyro and my husband had beef shawarma both were very delicious. Highly recommend this place.

I ordered lamb kabob plate. The smell was good. I like the seasoned basmati rice and hummus. Lamb kabob tasted good but a little bit chewy for me.

As a person who is very critical of Arabic food, I can say without doubt that this is one of the best and most authentic middle eastern food places in San Diego. Often times restaurants claim to be middle eastern but they serve garbage. If you truly want to experience Lebanese home authentic cooking , this is the place to go. They put love into there food as is the Arab custom when feeding guests. On top of how amazing the food is, they are beyond reasonably priced. If you want a taste of home or just try authentic Arabic cuisine at its finest, then you have to try Karam’s !
