Luna Grill on Encinitas Boulevard in Encinitas's New Encinitas corridor is a fast-casual Mediterranean kitchen from the chain founded in 2004, now operating over 50 locations across California and Texas. Kabobs are marinated in-house and grilled to order over a live flame at this location, and the kitchen commits to no added hormones, no GMOs, and no preservatives across the full menu -- a sourcing protocol stricter than most counter-service Mediterranean operations on the Encinitas Boulevard strip including Tandoori Palace. The menu spans flame-grilled chicken and steak kabobs, Persian koobideh, shaved gyro, house-made falafel, hummus, gourmet salads, and pita wraps alongside a grass-fed burger on brioche bun. Co-founder Maria Trakas-Pourteymour comes from a San Diego family of Greek restaurateurs, and the brand's MyMenu digital tool provides full nutritional transparency with calorie and macronutrient details for every customizable build, a data-forward ordering format uncommon among the casual dining options on Encinitas Boulevard like California Pizza Kitchen. The most ingredient-intensive plate is the Cornish Hen -- bone-in marinated pieces skewered and grilled over the live flame, served with basmati rice, house-made tzatziki, pita bread, and a choice of salad.
