I love this restaurant so much!! I literally eat there at least once a week. The owner is such an amazing individual, great convo, great atmosphere, great food. I love those small places that really feel like a home cooked meal. I enjoy every time I go and have my entire office hooked on the yummy food. You have to get the chicken Diane with extra garlic paste. FIREEEE
Thanks so much for all you do for the community. We love you!!

A typical walk-in place where you order at the counter and seat yourself. The food was seasoned and defiently good for Californian standards, but as someone who lives in an Arab area, it would not be considered authentic for a place out there. If you know no better, then this place is great.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Al-Reef Mediterranean Grill, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I’ve had! I decided to try the chicken kabobs, falafel, and soup, and it was evident that everything was prepared from scratch using high-quality ingredients. The flavors were authentic and vibrant, with each bite bursting with freshness.
The owner himself is the chef, and it was clear that he crafts each dish with care. What truly impressed me was the fantastic value for such delicious, authentic food. I left with a full belly and a happy heart.
If you’re looking for a great meal that delivers on flavor and value, I highly recommend Al-Reef—it’s a gem in the heart of Murrieta!

I got the gyro plate and it was absolutely filling and delicious. You definitely get the bang for your buck here as the prices are so incredibly reasonable. I believe the plate was $11.98 plus tax. Which is such a great price for how much food you get. Especially if you compare it to Luna Grill (see attached picture). You can tell how homemade the food is and I love the type of rice they serve. Definitely recommend ordering here and supporting this small family business. I’ll be back!
My only recommendation I have is to maybe play some music in the store to make it feel more inviting. But, overall great food!

The food looked good at first , I ate the veggies kabobs first and started on the falafel and salad and I noticed a nice long hair and bug crawling through the lettuce . I immediately came back to the restaurant and the owner had a shitty attitude and tried giving me half of my money back and then proceeded to call me crazy and didn’t even apologize . This place is a joke and the management is very unprofessional . Don’t come to this place unless you want hair and bugs in your food !!!

Had a taste of their food at work at a small catered event so I had to check them out when i was craving for chicken kabob. Owner was at the counter and was very nice and funny. Chit chatted with us as the place was empty. He said he’s there everyday to make sure everything tastes as he wants them and quality stays consistent. Great food! Definitely recommend. Gave us complimentary most delicious baklava too!

I walked into this restaurant for the first time and I was quite hungry. BEST DECISION IVE MADE IN A LONG TIME. I met the owner, Selah. I wasn’t sure what I wanted but I love Mediterranean food. I decided on the Lamb Shank plate with bulgar tabbouleh. The owner was such a genuinely nice person. He welcomed me to his establishment and was very patient while I finally figured out what I wanted to order. He didn’t bite his tongue when he said his food was excellent. I got home and I am writing this review as I am partaking of his delicious food. The lamb is so tender it literally fell off of the bone. The rice is so flavorful and fluffy and the Tabbouleh is fantastic. The hummus is so good. I started to order two orders of tabbouleh and I should have. Its so refreshing and I just want more. I will return soon to tell Selah how much I enjoyed my order. He was right. His food is excellent! I am grateful for his kindness. He has a new satisfied customer.

A kinda hidden gem!
I’ve tried their chicken kabob, gyro, and lamb shanks. All very good and very reasonably priced (even low considering even McDonalds meals are like $15 these days)!
Had a chance to talk to owner. He’s very friendly (once you get past his initial exterior). He’s been a chef and in food biz for quite some time and knows what he’s doing!
