Amardeen Lebanese and Mediterranean Cuisine, San Diego CA

We went early (3pm) so it want busy at all. But the food and service were great. We were a party of 9, and we all enjoyed traditional dishes like my grandmother used to make

Ordered a shrimp salad when I came and it was very tasty. The seating was ample and the serving staff was very helpful. The inside of the restaurant is very intimate and it contains a nice small outside eating space as well. It's located inside a bit of a shopping/strip mall location. Note that parking can sometimes be tight.

The place could have better lighting. Since I no longer see well I need light to read the menu and see what I'm eating. Food could have been good too if they are serve hot. Everything we ordered were COLD, except the tea. It seems that the meat are all precooked and just serve d next to whatever accompaniment the dish calls for. May not repeat our visit. I also dislike food servers with long fingernails.

Nice and kind staff. Good tabbouleh and a large portion. The beef/lamb shoarma was really bad. Bland and not flavorful at all. The table water also tasted particularly bad.

Memorable dishes with distinct and delightful flavors. Service is exceptional. We will keep coming back for more!

I have been eating here for over 10 years. Food and service are usually better than average. Not today. Food was cold and dry like it had been sitting around for hours. Service was slow and apathetic. Too bad. I will not be back or recommending them to friends.

I’m really surprised by the good reviews, the food wasn’t that good, the shawarma was too salty and the hummus was tasteless, I order a pizza too that wasn’t the best.

Lol of good food but didn't like other food. The service rates one star. Unfriendly and slow.

Best Lebanese food + tea!

I have tried their food multiple times and always great experience with it

A pleasant courtyard and traditional Lebanese dishes. Generous flavors without relying on excess salt. As of Sept 2022, the prices seemed a bit steep to stomach for a casual meal. Overall a nice experience.

Food is very delicious and fresh from enterré to coffee and dessert. Took one star off because the food was over-salted. Make sure to try the coffee.

First visit and quite impressed! Tried Shish kebab platters. Ambience and service was good. Outdoor and indoor sitting option.

This was a great discovery. I really hate going into UTC, so driving around I found this place. The food was yummy, it was clean, and the service was good. The only drawback was the parking.

Really good food, decent portions and prices!
The beef dolma is the best. The pita is fresh. Will definitely come back again.

The baba gnoush and vegetable mousakka was absolutely delicious. If you're in the area definitely give this place a try, you will not regret it.

Amardeen catered our wedding and our guests were blown away. The restaurant serves the most authentic flavors using the highest quality ingredients, and the event catering was perfectly scaled to 200+ guests.

We had guests come to us and mention that “I have Middle Eastern food on a weekly basis but this was the best one that I’ve had in my life. ” Others admired how flavorful and juicy the chicken breasts and shawarma were. One of our vegetarian friends mentioned “I’ve never had this many options at a wedding. And they’re all so tasty and satisfying! ”

I have been recommending Amardeen’s catering (and restaurant) to all of my friends in San Diego. We are lucky that we have such a talented team in our neighborhood. Thank you to the team!

To all who read this, enjoy

Amazing collection of mediterranean dishes. The atmosphere was friendly and chill. All the food on different table look ded delicious. I ordered Pistachio chicken salad, it is nice portion and very filling. Would be visiting it again to try other offerings.
