At Gentle Grill we offer a completely plant-based vegan menu. Our menu is very universal from healthy options to comfort dishes. Here at Gentle Grill many of the highlights of traditional comfort foods are re-imagined as vegan. We have created a menu full of traditional meat recreations (faux meats), a plethora of non-dairy cheeses, delicious accompanying sauces, and many other items that you'll have to taste to believe.
In addition to our expansive menu, we invite you to come and gaze upon our deli case. It offers many of the menu items, in addition to a few tasty surprises. We welcome all of you, our friends, to come visit us and try our delicious food. Eating is something that we do often throughout our day. However, despite its frequency, it is an act that is, by and large, committed routinely and unthinkingly.

It was our first time here and it took us some time to figure out the menu. We ordered a burrito, poutine fries and it came with complimentary chips and salsa.
Overall the food was decent and the price was okay. The place could you a little more friendly ambiance. The staff didn't really smile nor inviting knowing it was our first time there.
We will most likely come back to try more items hopefully the next time will be a better experience

I go here every time I'm in Temecula. I'm not vegan, but I love vegan food and this place really knows their way around some vegan food! Everything I've tried has been delicious, but I think the cauliflower and gyro are my favorites.. but this is not to discount the delicious loaded french fries options (also to die for). I love that they have vegan pastrami gyros and Reuben sandwiches! That's very unique and not something I have seen before, but it's really done well.

First time trying Gentle Grill which is about 3 minutes from home. Score! It seems like I'll be going back. The Cabo Bowl and One Love Burrito hit the spot. I'm not vegan but usually order vegan when I know I need something fresh. If only other places held as high a standard as vegan places... We ordered for pick up about an hour before they closed. The Cabo Bowl has quinoa, greens, black beans and faux chicken which added another layer of texture. I did expect more kale but also know I was feening for protein so I totally appreciated the black beans, quinoa, and Gardein chicken. My gf

This place is a hit or miss & it makes me mad because I honestly think thats only because of the management style not because of taste of food.
(This is not a hate review! this is a change for the better)
the food will be great one day and then completely trash another day, tasting like it was sitting under heated lamps like McDonald's.
I really hope they can understand customers want food cooked fresh and served hot! especially plant based food.
Im paying 5-10bucks more each meal.
it doesn't help there case that all the workers are always in a terrible mood.. especially the

We found this wonderful vegan cafe last month and have driven 30 miles to come back 3 times already. Recommended it to our friends who can last Saturday. First time I had the BLT and my husband had the burrito!
The second time I had the Ruben, oh my God! And I'm going to have it again today! My husband had the gyro and gyro fries. Today he's trying to beyond beef burger with American cheese and more Gyro fries. I promise you won't be disappointed! Here are some pictures

I always get the gyro with feta and I am never disappointed.
I had the Ceasar salad with quinoa and it was absolutely delicious. My husband had the gentle bowl and loved it. It had broccoli, spinach and edamame and I had a bite and said that's what I was getting next time. It tasted like pure freshness.

We were in Temecula for a wedding and looking to eat before the wedding in case there wouldn't be many vegan options. This was the only fully vegan place we could find so we stopped here and it did not disappoint. We got the Reuben and the gyro sandwich and the gentle style fries. The lady who helped us (owner maybe?) was so nice to us, we even ordered a burrito for later in case we were hungry and she was kind enough to suggest sauces on the side to keep it from getting soggy. Luckily we were fully accommodated at the wedding so we kept the burrito for the following day and it was even good

Ordered pick up a few weeks ago and everything was awesome. The service, the food, the prices - no complaints! We got the Brisket Sandwich and the Pastrami Sandwich and both were unique, filling, and delicious. We also ordered the chicken nuggets for my son which came with a side of fresh fruit. He ate it all, which is an indication that he loved it since it is rare that he will eat an entire meal (toddlers, right?)
I think they make their "meats" in house which is awesome and ensures that you're not getting the same mass produced stuff you get everywhere else. Very excited to

I was very excited to see a vegan restaurant in the area and eager to try some of the dishes that I had never imagined could be made vegan, such as the Reuben sandwich. It had been years since I'd had anything like a Reuben sandwich, so the first time I ordered food here that is what I got. The menu contains many other similar meaty dishes that I miss from when I used to consume meat.
All of the food here has good flavoring, you can taste a lot of flavors that are similar to the real meat dishes they are replicating. The chicken sandwich is very similar to a McDonald's chicken sandwich

My hubby went full Vegan last October and I, of course, said "not for me". Sorry, not sorry, but I like hamburgers and pastrami and roast beef.
Tonight we decided to have date night at the newly opened "Gentle Grill" all Vegan restaurant on the corner of Margarita and Pauba in So. Temecula. Oh my goodness was it GOOD!
If you or someone you know is Vegan, I HIGHLY recommend. I was really doubting there would be something for me at this plant based eatery, but everything we had was incredibly delicious. Flavorful and filling. Looking forward to trying everything on the menu and I'm so happy we

We were looking for a vegan restaurant to have lunch in Temecula since our daughter is anaphylactic to dairy and the Gentle Grill had a five star rating. Super friendly staff and fast service! The cauliflower buffalo bites were excellent, not too spicy and very flavorful. I had the gentle salad which was exactly what I needed, healthy and filling with delicious chimichurri and Italian dressings on the side. Our daughter had the gyro sandwich which she devoured. And wifie had the strawberry field salad which she loved. The "chicken" was surprisingly good. As we ate we all keep commenting

Oh my gosh this was the best meal I had the whole time I was in Temecula. I was so ecstatic to find a vegetarian place with such a great menu and it definitely did not disappoint. My sister had the burrito and she finished the whole thing when she did not mean to. She just couldn't help it. The chips that came with it were delicious. The chicken sandwich was well put together and had everything you would want in a chicken sandwich but it was meh to me. The star of the show was the Gyro Bowl. The seitan gyro is thinly sliced and perfectly flavored. The vegetables were all fresh and crispy.

Driving through Temecula and found Gentle Grill on Google. Most of my family is Vegan, so it worked out good. At our house we do something called "High/Low" where we give our low and highlights of the day. Let me try that for this review.
LOW - I ordered the Gentle Bowl and if I liked pesto, I'm sure I would of loved it but the explosion of pesto was overwhelming for my taste buds. It bummed me out a little bit that there was no indoor dining but that's a personal preference and I won't judge them for that. The outdoor seating was fine.
HIGH - My family loves the cauliflower

What drew me to this place is that they make their own seitan. I tried their brisket sandwich on ciabatta and their Cabo bowl which had quinoa, corn, black beans, jalapeños. The sandwich came with a side and I upgraded to poutine fries for a dollar.
The brisket sandwich was very, very good. Juicy with the slaw and the faux meat was very flavorful. I also love ciabatta bread. The bread soft too! The poutine fries didn't have gravy. It was more like cheesy fries with ground veggie beef. Still good good though! Not sure if it was because of COVID and it was take-out, but the fries were

Just recently moved to the area and was psyched to find a vegan spot. Ordered a few times now and the customer service is almost as good as the food. I want to work my way through the whole menu but, after my One Love burrito tonight, I don't know how I'll order anything else!
p.s. They don't skimp on portions.
p.p.s. Don't sleep on the desserts!

It’s great to have a plant based restaurant in Temecula. The food is delicious. I tried the cauliflower wings, burrito and my wife had the beyond meat burger.
We went on their grand opening day and the place was very busy. Parking is adjacent to the restaurant which makes it easy to get to.
The food was great, freshly prepared and Plant Based! They also have a fountain drink area for you to enjoy.
