This is one of my favorite restaurants for mediterranean food. From their food selection -with daily specials- to their presentation of food will win your heart. It is also a good value when considering their portions as well. You owe yourself a visit if you like mediterranean/middle eastern food. This is a hidden gem.

I love this place! We have come here several times. The food is always fresh and flavorful. I love the Greek salad with chicken. They cook the chicken made to order. The salad and vegetables are always very fresh. The dressing is outstanding and the hummus is to die for. I highly recommended this place.

If chance to eat here, DO IT. The most incredible Mediterranean food I've had in years. Extremely authentic. this place DOES NOT MISS. The chicken was Juicy, flavorful, absolutely amazing. The gyro lamb meat is thick and juicy. Equally as wonderful as the chicken. 10/10 would recommend

I had Hamed and his team cater my big 50th birthday party with simple make-your-own kabob sandwich station. Oh my God it was such a huge hit! Both my Persian and American friends devoured the juicy kebabs and sides. But not only did the food taste amazing, the presentation was second to none. What perhaps is even more amazing was the price. I literally had quotes for 1.5x his amount from other locations. Rarely do you get quality and service and at a low price, but corner grill is the real deal! Highly recommend!

Wow! We are only here for a few days and I wish I could be here throughout the week to get each of their lunch specials!

I got the number five, chicken kabob and my husband got the combo kebabs.

Both of our plates were amazing and the service was great, too.

My chicken was cooked perfection. It was nice and charred on the outside and so juicy and tender on the inside.

I also got the Saturday lunch special to go because I did not want to miss out! I took it to our hotel for dinner and I had to dig in when we got there because it looked so delicious and the lavash bread looked like they made

A hidden gem. Fresh and clean tasting. The establishment is clean and well kept. Everything was cooked and prepared to perfection. My favorite dish is the lamb because it's tender and juicy. 5+ star and a cleaned plate.

Really good Persian food here. Sort of unexpected just from looking at the outside - it's the real deal. Also very good selection of some grocery items as well. Fantastic!

Great discovery! On the corner of a hidden strip mall off the 78 @ Emerald, you will find a superior Mediterranean option that far exceeds quality!

We've visited here a few times now since last year and have made this a go-to spot just about every week since 2021. My husband enjoys the groceries you can pickup here located within the corner grill. The meats we've tried - chicken kabobs, koobideh kabob and filet mignon are fantastic and flavorful!! Usually not a rice fan, but enjoy the meats paired with their Basmati Rice and freshly made green salad!

Always kind and attentive

I needed a quick healthy lunch today and decided I'd try this place. They have lovely outdoor seating and well as seating inside and take out orders.
Food was very good. I'd go here again. They have daily specials too. Chicken #5 was great!

Food: Corner Grill is a hidden corner spot near the 78 freeway that offers Persian food and Middle Eastern dishes in Vista. Get your kabobs (Koobideh, Barg, etc.), your Shirazi salad, Lubia Polo, Gheimeh Bademjan, Ghormeh Sabzi, and more. They offer daily specials so you can try something different for each day of the week. I tried the Gheimeh Bademjan and it was fantastic.

Service: Nice, friendly service.

Final Thoughts: Yummy Persian food at great prices. Some of the best Persian food prices I've seen in San Diego area. The daily specials are a must if you're looking for an affordable

Ive never written a review before so you know this place outta be good. I was craving some lamb and stumbled upon Corner Grill. The food was incredible and the owner is very kind and personable. It takes a bit of time to prepare but it's absolutely worth it in the end. I'm from East County but if I'm ever in the area again I'll be back for sure.

This place is tucked away in a shopping center on the north side of the 78, near an In and Out. It's easy to miss: sitting in the corner of the center, and attached to a Middle Eastern market. It's a pretty simple hole in the wall place, but that how the tastiest food tends to come from!

The shopkeeper was really nice and welcoming. I'm a bit of a noob to Persian food aside from a few dishes I'd had, so he gave me some great recommendations. I had a take on beef stew, which was their daily special. It was much like biryani

Tender chunks of beef simmered to perfection in a

You ever bookmark something, and then realize you are not at the place you intended to go? I meant to go to North Park Produce, but ended up here instead. It took me long enough just to find this market, tucked away in the corner of a crappy plaza. I was hungry, the menu looked interesting, so I stayed.

Long story short, it was a great mistake to find this hidden gem! I was super impressed, not only with service, but the food and groceries as well.

Today I had the salmon kebab, and they let me modify the plate to all salad and no rice. I look forward to working my way down the menu (and getting
