Papa Feta
Welcome to Papa Feta Restaurant!
At Papa Feta, we believe in the power of family, tradition, and great food to bring people together. Our Greek & Mediterranean fusion restaurant is built on a 25-year-old recipe and passion for creating unforgettable dining experiences.
The heart of our kitchen is our incredible Head Chef, Eman, whose decades of culinary expertise breathe life into every dish. With her meticulous attention to detail and love for Mediterranean flavors, Eman ensures that each bite reflects the authenticity and warmth of Greece & the Middle East. Working alongside her is her husband AJ, affectionately known as Papa Feta. After years of living in Greece and mastering its cuisine, his passion inspired the creation of this restaurant in 2021. Together, Eman and AJ carefully craft every dish, blending fresh ingredients and bold flavors into something extraordinary.
Beyond the kitchen, our family team includes Semon and Maryam, who lead business development and guest relations. Their mission is to ensure that every guest feels valued and cared for, striving to create an atmosphere where everyone is treated like family. At Papa Feta, your happiness is our top priority - we want you to leave not just full but fulfilled, feeling like part of something special.
Our name, Papa Feta, is more than a tribute to AJ's culinary journey - it's a symbol of the love, laughter, and connection that food brings to our lives. Whether you're savoring Chef Eman's tender shawarma, enjoying our homemade tandoor bread, or sharing a mezza platter with friends, you'll find that every dish tells a story of family, tradition, and joy.
From our family to yours, welcome to Papa Feta. Come hungry, leave happy, and always feel like family.
About us
Some places are built around a menu. This one is built around family. At Papa Feta, the story starts with shared recipes of Greek & Mediterranean cuisine, years of experience, and a real love of bringing people together. Chef Eman leads the kitchen with care and confidence, while AJ, the inspiration behind the name, brings his connection to Greek cooking and hospitality into everything the restaurant does. Together with their family, they have created a place that feels welcoming, familiar, and full of heart.
This Temecula restaurant menu reflects that same spirit. Shawarma, hummus, and fresh tandoor bread each have their place, but what stays with people is the feeling behind them: thoughtful cooking, warm service, and a table that feels open to everyone. Catering, online ordering, and reservations add to this experience. Join us, get comfortable, and make yourself at home.
