The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill in Santee brings a three-decade-old franchise concept to 9720 Mission Gorge Road, serving fast-casual Greek plates built from gyro-meat rotisserie, charcoal-grilled souvlaki, and house-made falafel. The lamb souvlaki marinates in a Mediterranean herb blend before charcoal grilling, a preparation technique rooted in the same Eastern Mediterranean traditions that inform the tandoor-fired lamb at Himalayan Cuisine in neighboring La Mesa. Avgolemono soup — the traditional Greek chicken-and-lemon broth thickened with egg — serves as the starter course, followed by entrée plates paired with lemon-roasted potatoes, rice pilaf, and house-baked pita. The shareable appetizer program — dolmades, spanakopita, falafel, and a four-dip hummus spread — suits a group-dining format that extends into post-meal pours at Full Circle Saloon on Magnolia Avenue. Catering packages scale from 10-person small feasts through 20-person large feasts, each anchored by souvlaki, gyro meat, falafel, dolmades, rice pilaf, lemon potatoes, and four-dip spreads.
