Shaks Mediterranean Bistro

One negative: on the beautiful leather cocktail menu I was given, right in the middle of the cover was a crusty large green booger. Yes, a crusty piece of noise waste, right there, very first thing I see when I sit down. Not a good start. Good thing the meal and service recovered from a bad bad thing. The new menus are beautiful, letter pressed on mounting board, beautifully designed and laid out. Really sets a nice tone. And if my cocktail menu didn’t have a booger on the cover, I would have said the same thing - they are really well designed. The food was beautiful, very tasty, super fresh. The service was just amazing. Friendly, attentive, and timely. The patio is nice when the weather is good, but needs a little bit of an upgrade. If the patio was as nice as the newly remodeled interior bar, then this place would be the nicest and best date-night spot on Vista. Despite the booger and the outdated patio, we’ll absolutely be coming back for a second visit!

Great family-owned restaurant serving authentic dishes. Wonderful hospitality and moderate prices--well worth the stop.

Gyros, Shawarma, Tzatziki dip with Pita bread was sooo good. Mimosas deliscious. Great service! We'll be back!

I had a light dinner, chicken soup and salad. Both came in a generous portion. I also had spinach pie from Happy Hour menu, it was yum.

First time we ordered beef shawarma take out it was yum. Second time we dine in. Forget about entering the bathroom, it was filthy and old a remodeling definitely needed. The food is pricey for the service in some dishes. Their food taste yum but they need to work a lot on the hygiene and cleanliness of the tables. If you see the tables and the bathroom then you will start questioning the kitchen…
