I love the falafel sandwich and the desserts are delicious as well. The cheesecake has become a favorite. Everyone is working here is very friendly.

Risen Bakery and Grill is a hidden gem for Mediterranean food lovers in Upland, California. This clean, welcoming establishment offers a delightful dining experience with excellent food and friendly service. We tried the Combo Plate featuring filet mignon and chicken, as well as a Falafel plate. The quality and preparation of the dishes were impressive across the board. The hummus was a standout, fresh and delicious, providing a perfect accompaniment to the main dishes. The falafel was particularly noteworthy - cooked to perfection and maintaining a moist interior, which can be a challenge for many restaurants. It's refreshing to find falafel that isn't dry or overcooked. The rice that came with our meals was well-seasoned and flavorful, elevating the entire plate rather than serving as a bland filler. Both the filet mignon and chicken in the Combo Plate were well-prepared, though specific details about their taste and texture would provide a more complete picture. Portion sizes at Risen Bakery and Grill are generous - so much so that we didn't have room for dessert. However, the baklava and cheesecake on display looked tempting and are definitely on our list to try on a future visit. While we didn't sample the baked goods, the "Bakery" in the restaurant's name suggests this might be a specialty worth exploring. The visible dessert options appeared promising and could be a reason for a return visit. The staff's friendliness added to the positive dining experience, making us feel welcome and well-cared for throughout our meal. For those who enjoy Mediterranean cuisine or are looking to try something new, Risen Bakery and Grill is definitely worth a visit. Its combination of tasty, well-prepared food, friendly service, and clean environment makes it a recommended spot for a satisfying meal in Upland.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Food was great. Now that my wife and I know that we a great Mediterranean restaurant close we will be returning many times. And did I mention they have fast breakfast too. We came in close to closing and had a great experience. Naborhood is quite during the evening so sitting out side wss plesent.And it's merely a block from the bike trail. Don't take my word for it. Give them a try.

Me and my boyfriend came down for the first time and I couldn't believe how good it was and it's much more inexpensive than most Greek restaurants. They make fresh pizza here as well and I never tasted a falafel so good.

I’m a pescatarian so I always base my reviews on the falafels flavor and how it is cooked. I ordered the wrap and I really liked the consistency of the falafel as well as the flavor. The pricing was fair too.

Glad to have found this place. It was my first visit and I found the atmosphere inviting, the employees welcoming and informative, and the food very good. I, especially, liked the Kunafe. It was delicious! I have been looking for a good Mediterranean restaurant in the area and I was glad to find this one. I will look forward to trying other menu items in the future. There is patio seating as well as an adequate sized inside dining area. I gave it 4 stars just because it was my first time there. I look forward to upgrading the rating as I experience more.

I've always seen this place going up and down the street it's on but never stopped until recently and the staff is very friendly and nice but I was disappointed with the food we got for the price we paid. Got two beef kabobs by themselves and that was $20 alone for a little container with a little bit of meat. I myself got a breakfast burrito which was very overpriced at $13 it had little to nothing inside of it and on top of that I got charged $2 for eggs cuz of what's going on with the whole egg situation I'm guessing. Four pieces of baklava was about $24 The baklava was really good but pretty pricey too. I might try it again but who knows I just wish I didn't get charged so much for so little.
