" Shaks Mediterranean Bistro has quickly become my favorite spot for delicious Mediterranean food! Every time I visit, I am blown away by the freshness of their ingredients, especially the falafel and hummus. The atmosphere feels inviting, and the staff is always ready to offer recommendations or cater to special dietary needs. I highly recommend trying their chicken shawarma and don't forget to indulge in the Turkish coffee! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are a fan of Mediterranean cuisine, I can't recommend Shaks enough! The authenticity of their dishes shines through in every bite. Their chicken kebab was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with the Arabic rice. The portions are generous, and I loved that they had options for those with dietary restrictions. The service was friendly and made sure we felt comfortable during our visit. I will definitely return to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love dining at Shaks! The service is consistently warm and welcoming. I typically order the lamb gyro, and it is incredible - juicy and packed with flavor! My partner loves their mezze platter, which is enough to share between two or three people. We especially enjoy their outdoor seating area, perfect for lazy afternoons. The staff genuinely treats you like family here. Highly recommend for anyone craving Mediterranean food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a frequent diner at Shaks Mediterranean Bistro and they never disappoint. The staff goes above and beyond to create a welcoming experience. My personal favorite is the falafel platter, which is always perfectly seasoned. I appreciate the fact that they are mindful of dietary restrictions, which allows me to introduce new friends and family to the restaurant without worry. Will continue to come back and share this wonderful place with those around me! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot say enough good things about Shaks Resorty Bistro! The food is just heavenly - each dish is thoughtfully prepared using fresh ingredients. It's a gem hidden in Vista that serves delicious Mediterranean dishes. The only knock I have is that the wait times can occasionally be a bit extensive during busy hours, but the quality of the food makes it worthwhile. The staff is incredibly friendly and always eager to make suggestions based on your preferences. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Shaks Mediterranean Bistro with some friends last weekend, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! We ordered a variety of appetizers, including the garlic dip and pita, which were simply amazing. For my main, I had the lamb kebabs, which were flavorful and juicy. The service was fantastic, and the staff really made us feel at home. The only downside was that it was a bit loud during peak hours, but the food definitely made it worth it. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had mixed experiences at Shaks Mediterranean Bistro. The first visit was fantastic, with wonderful service and delicious food. However, the subsequent visit was quite disappointing, as the service was slow, and my meal was not prepared properly. I ordered the falafel wrap, but it was dry and lacked flavor. The ambiance is still nice, so I might give it another try, hoping for better consistency. " (*Curated Review*)
