Best Authentic Restaurants in National City

Unique setting, great staff. The food was quick on a busy night, the waiter was quick with serving ours and other patrons tables.

Callie has the most delicious food in San Diego. The home made pita, the hummus the carrots( yes carrots!) the Aleppo chicken ( yes chicken) the Lemon saffron linguine the lamb chops I could go on and on. Worth the wait for reservations!

Took a while to be greeted at the door but once seated, service was great. It was well suited for our large party. The food was great, drinks were good, food came out fast and it was an overall good time.

It was a beautiful patio/atmosphere with friendly hosts! Loved the variety in the menu & the fact that there was an entirely vegan menu. My partner & I both agreed that the appetizers were delicious (mushroom flan, olive oil vegetables w/bread, etc) but the main dishes were just okay (the squash in my pasta dish was not cooked enough and the sauce was quite watery; his chicken was a bit dry). Overall, we enjoyed our experience but are not sure if we would return again for a full meal.

For Valentine’s Day they had a prefixed menu with delicious options. Great service and food was fantastic.
