I had a good experience. They will take good care of you and appreciate your business. Be kind and if you need something, ask gently and you will be met with the same.

Amazing Vegan Food! - Edit
Such friendly staff, amazing recommendations, delicious food. We had the chicken sandwich and the (hidden off menu staff suggested) BLT(A)--Traditional BLT w/Avocado! Both wonderful choices. And the price was great for what you get. Oh, amd DEFINITELY try their organic soda fountain drinks! 🍸 We do not come out to Temecula often, but this is our new must go to stop when we do!

Thriving in Mediocrity - Edit
Stumbled upon this restaurant while touring Temecula. Had the “Gyro Wrap” - flavorful but didn’t taste gyro meat. Fresh but couldn’t wrap my head around the strange flavor. Hubs had “Cabo Bowl” with overwhelming amount of cold Quinoa and 3 pickled Jalepeno. Not a lot of flavor. Purchased the LARGE chocolate chip that was dry and flavorless. Returned it and got the peanut butter square that was super moist and yummy.
Read moreNice staff.
Pros: Close enough from North County, Close to 15, Fresh
Cons: Flavorless choices, Small serving, Cold fries

Amazing!!! - Edit
Food is awesome here! Great service too. Got the One Love Burrito and Gyro Bowl. Both were delicious and tasted like vegan junk food but didn’t make you feel like you just ate a bunch of junk food. Definitely coming back!

Deliciously good! - Edit
The food is so tasty that after our first time having dinner there, we went back for lunch the very next day! We tried several items:
Read moreThe Reuben Sandwich (my fave!)
The Crispy Chikn Sandwich (honestly it's a chikn sandwich so nothing impressive but it was still good)
The Gentle Fries (hubby loved them)
The Nachos with added avo cream (delicious!)
The Pastrami Sandwich (we like the reuben better)
The One Love Burrito (very delish!)
The service is fantastic! The cashiers and even the cooks conversated with us! We can't wait to go again when we are in Temecula!
Pros: 100% vegan and cruelty free, Natural ingredients (even for the "junk" food), Excellent customer service from all workers!
Cons: None so far!

Try the Gentle Fries!! - Edit
So stocked to find this fully vegan place in Temecula!! I haven't had anything I didn't like here, but my personal favorites are the buffalo cauliflower bites, the beyond burgers, and the gentle fries (with thousand island sauce and caramelized onions - oh my!). They also have daily specials - give them a try!

Must come back! - Edit
I was taking a trip to Temecula and decided to look up vegan places to eat. The pulled jack fruit sandwich caught my eye. Now it has my heart. It was so good.

Really Good BLTA - Edit
They used to have really good crinkle cut fries but changed them at some point to shoestring/run of the mill fries. Their sauces and dips are made in-house, great quality. The BLTA is my go-to here. Their burritos are good-ish but honesty, if you’re craving a burrito, just go to Amo Nakatl down the street.

One of my favorites - Edit
I stayed in Temecula for 2 weeks and my boyfriend and I stopped here the most. After trying a bunch of things on the menu I think the gyro was my favorite. Get it with feta! The cauliflower wings were great too. All vegan fast food style restaurant with desserts too. #Veganuary
Read morePros: Reasonably priced, Lots of options, Quick

International variety - Edit
The menu on the wall separates out the gluten-free options so it is easy to identify what you can eat that is vegan and gluten-free! I really appreciate that. We had the Buffalo cauliflower. It was deep fried which is not our favorite way to have buffalo cauliflower but the flavor was still good. Their vegan ranch is excellent.

Freaking great - Edit
This place is legitimately vegan, with great thought provoking signs everywhere. I loved every single thing we've had here, the poutine fries, gyro, the homemade salad dressings, and my god, the carrot cake donut was both the best carrot cake I've ever had and the best donut I've ever had. Mind blowing!
Read morePros: 100% proud vegan, Incredible food, Even the salads are great!

Quite Good Overall, Not Impressed by Fries - Edit
Three omnis and I got take out. Generally the food was quite good, priced okay, and the omnis want to go back there. My one quibble was that the fries were not crispy on the outside but rather a little soggy. We got both plain and loaded fries. On the loaded fries the sauteed onions were excellent and really helped to make this side worthwhile.
Read morePros: Great flavor/texture, Decent price for value, Large selection allowing for return visits
Cons: Fries weren't crispy, Not the cheapest, but you're getting value, Not health food

Their vegan gyro has my heart - Edit
As the first vegan restaurant in Temecula, Gentle Grill will always have my support in whatever they do, but biases aside their gyro and Rueben are both next level and the fact that they offer a good vegan feta option wins the game for me! This joint also carries a hefty menu loaded with other options. My only less-pleasurable experience with them was a with a few fruit tarts that didn't quite hit the spot a good while ago, but seeing as they sample different dessert vendors, I definitely don't see this as any sort of major downside, and it by no means has anything to say about their other foods! Every time I'm in the area, I make it a point to stop by if just for another go with their moist and savory gyro (although everything from their Rueben to their BLTA is flavorful and well-textured, and this is the first place where I have thoroughly enjoyed and will actively seek out buffalo cauliflower, so that should also say something good).
Read morePros: Good selection, Vegan gyros!!!

Must eat here! - Edit
One of my favorite parts of traveling is trying out the local vegan restaurants. Gentle Grill, a 100% vegan cafe, did not disappoint! I haven't had "brisket" in nearly 25 years and the sandwich I ordered was reminiscent of a BBQ place we had in my hometown in East Texas. Delicious! 😋 I'm always amazed at how far plant based food has come!
