“First time ordering food here and everything was good. Ordered the chicken kebob plate. It came with two chicken kebab, hummus, naan, salad, and rice. Chicken was charred to perfection. It was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Flavors from the chicken were just right. Hummus was so fresh and smooth. Their naan is a bit dry so for that, it did not wow me. Will definitely try other options again some day“
“I don't know alot about the SAJJ brand, but I wanted to try this menu choice at Local Kitchens in Cupertino. The "Chicken Shawarma (BYO) Bowl" looked like an interesting way to make a salad. Menu says "Juicy chicken thighs marinated in house spice blend and grilled to perfection." Well, that certainly sounds good. Here's what I did....Chicken BYO-salad base with greens, tomato-cucumber, pickles, avocado, hummus and Tahini. Didn't need dressing, you put all that together, it's going to taste good! And it did! Delicious chicken bowl!I ordered for pickup using the Local Kitchens App. Ready timer on the app said 15-20 mins. It was ready in 20-mins, went inside and they handed it to me. Hey, you want to save $$$? Here's a tip: pickup your own food and use the Local Kitchens App. Why? If you pickup your own order, you don't pay delivery fees. Doordash charges more than the Local Kitchens app for the same menu item. I always do this! When you pick it up yourself, the food is hot and fresh.BTW, this isn't an actual SAJJ restaurant. This location is Local Kitchens @ Cupertino, a micro-food hall. The staff cooks the food onsite, and duplicates the recipes. This location is near Stevens Creek Blvd & Hwy 85. Across from the Post Office.“

“This is a superb Mediterranean restaurant in Palo Alto. The food, service, and the ambience are all very nice. For appetizers, we ordered the eggplant which was incredibly flavorful, although a bit on the heavy side. For my main dish I ordered house combo plate, which came with a combination of chicken kebab, beef kebab, lamb and beef gyros, served with rice and a salad. Surprisingly, the chicken kebab were the best ones -- just amazing flavors, although I pretty much enjoyed everything. Very polite and courteous staff -- a definite place to return to.“
“"An exquisite culinary journey awaits at Mayhouse, where Turkish fusion cuisine takes center stage! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting ambiance. Each dish is a masterpiece, blending traditional Turkish flavors with innovative twists that tantalize the taste buds. The presentation is impeccable, elevating the dining experience to new heights. Don't miss their signature dishes like the succulent lamb chops, Alinazik or the delightful baklava with a modern twist. With exceptional service and a menu that surprises and delights, Mayhouse is a must-visit for any food enthusiast craving a taste of Turkey with a creative flair!"“
“A little hidden GEM!! The food was so delicious, soup and dishes had so much flavour, it was mouth watering. Turkish coffee was such a delight and the bread was sooo good. This place is for sure one of my top favourite restaurants. The gentleman serving was so sweet and courteous :) atmosphere feels cozy and at home!!“
“We have been to DishDash many times and previously I have always thought of it as a 5 star place. The service is always good and the dishes are well-presented.However yesterday we ventured away from our typical dishes, Maza Sampler and Reyash. The Rihan appetizer was good but next time maybe we should try the Babaghanouge. My wife enjoyed her Tiki Kebab with Brussels Sprouts but I was pretty disappointed with my Tabsi Falafel. It tasted more like a typical American stew except with Falafels. At least the Falafels were excellent. The other two vegetarian entree choices did not look too appealing which is why I think in the past I always ended up just getting the Maza Sampler.Vegetarian options: Only three vegetarian entree options.“
“The food at Mercy Mediterranean is amazing! While browsing the website of the recently opened downtown food hall, we stumbled upon this gem and promptly placed our order. We ordered the Chicken Garlic Gyro and Lamb Gyro. Our favorite dish was the Chicken Garlic Gyro. Our order was packed with flavorful chicken, fresh veggies, and creamy tzatziki sauce. This is definitely a satisfying meal for gyro lovers. The service was amazing and the employees are helpful and catering towards their guests.“
“Excellent and filling Gyro wrap. Good amount of meat to veggie ratio, thinly sliced onions and tomatoes and the tzatziki sauce was a icy and creamy. They have indoor seating a small patio with tables, chairs and umbrellas outside which makes for a great place to sit in this amazing mid March Spring weather in the Bay Area. They Also have an indoor dining area which looked nice, but with a balmy 72F why would you want to stay inside?“
“Had an early lunch with a colleague.Even though I left early, it was quite crowded.I ordered a chicken and beef kebab set at the counter, got a number, and waited at my seat. The sauce is self-serve. There's quite a lot. Grilled vegetables, chicken, and beef are also delicious. I am full. Thank you for the meal.“
“Great spot for local Greek food the gyros always hit the spot. I have been coming here for many years and it always a favorite. Lots of meat and toppings with very affordable prices! They always make it fresh and to order as you can see the kitchen right behind the counter.“
“We had beef-lamb doner plate and lahmacun. The taste of doner was amazing. It has the perfect meat/fat ratio. We hesitated to eat lahmacun in the bay area. But this place is an excellent choice to eat lahmacun. They also serve homemade yogurt drink which is really good. But doner was the best. The staff was kind and friendly.“
“This may be the best restaurant in Los gatos. Food, service, atmosphere fantastic. Lamb and beef are perfection. Appetizers are unique in taste and textures. The bar makes incredible mixed drinks. Coupled with great wine, and amazing desserts you can't go wrong. This is a great date destination, but also for business dinners or to impress your friends and family. So stop reading this and make reservations - it will not disappoint.“
“The address is not the front of the restaurant on Lincoln. You need to park in the back, that is where the restaurant is located!This place is INSANELY good. Highly recommend the sole almondine. I’ve never been into fish and my family was fighting over this dish. Apparently it’s their best seller. Rightfully so!The angry pasta, seafood with mixed sauce, and paella were so delicious.The owner, David, is so friendly and is the genius behind the menu.“
“Ordered a large order for takeout and the owner was extremely accommodating and had phenomenal communication! The food was fantastic, wrapped well so it wouldn't spill in transport. The falafel was phenomenal, even some of my coworkers who don't like falafel in general said it was good! I would highly recommend going!Vegetarian options: Falafel is fantastic!“
“A very nice restaurant in downtown Sunnyvale. Located in the pedestrian only street, with parking nearby. Very friendly and professional service, and a great ambiance. The selection for vegetarian main courses is limited, however, only eggplant dishes. Nevertheless, a very good choice to dine in Sunnyvale.“
“Absolutely phenomenal experience at Greek Kitchen! From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance transported us to the Mediterranean coast. The attention to detail in decor, combined with the tantalizing aroma of authentic Greek cuisine, set the stage for an unforgettable dining adventure. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with fresh flavors and expertly crafted to perfection. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, ensuring every need was met with a smile. A true gem in the culinary world, Greek Kitchen has earned its place as a must-visit destination for anyone craving an authentic taste of Greece. Highly recommended!“
“If you like Turkish food, then this is your place in South Bay area. Their lentil soup is one of the best! Adana kebab is perfect. Definitely taste gullac dessert and Turkish tea. This place could put a bit more Turkish art and decorations so that I can come with my family next time!“
“Dropped in on a whim, wasn’t sure what to order. The owner offered some free samples. The lamb is amazing! Some of the best I’ve ever had. He made me a lamb gyro that was 10/10. My son and I were very impressed with the service and food. We Will be dropping by again. Thank you!“
“I love the quality food, quality service, Excellent customer service. It is also very clean and the bathroom is clean. The tea is free refill.Vegetarian options: The breakfast plate is vegetarian. The pastries have vegetarian options such as cheese, potato , olives.Parking: Plenty of parking available near the place.Wheelchair accessibility: The place is spacious and the bathroom as well.“
“VFM 5/5This is a place mostly run by elderly folks and gives warmth and homely vibe to the place. You feel like you are taken care of here. Salmon was yummy and fresh. The kebab platter had chicken souvlaki, mutton and sausages. A bit heavy but wholesome.The gyros were huge and the fries were fresh. Overall we had a relaxed and good time. Sardines on the special was average for me.“
“Delicious food, smart presentation, good wine list. They understand proper sear on salmon.Every dish has rich flavors and textures. Really well done, so there's a lot to talk about. Many people come here on dates and it's a great place for that.The squash dessert is amazing -- not savory but not too sweet and with a lot of complexity.To top it off, the staff is friendly and the service attentive without hovering. It's the best kind of "feeling at home" -- that's hospitality.Vegetarian options: If it doesn't say it has meat, it doesn't. The Turlu is amazing, and there's a very large and diverse veg app platter.“

“Got a to-go falafel wrap. It was good, with some pickled veg inside and crisp lettuce. Only thing missing was a napkin. Guess I should’ve gotten one before leaving, but I assumed they were included in the bag. No hot / pepper sauce, which I had hoped for.“
“Delicious and cheap Middle Eastern fast food Dish Dash, shawarma wraps, grilled lamb/beef/chicken skewers, salads, or my favorite Mansaf yogurt-braised tender lamb risotto, the big space is suitable for gatherings, and there are many good things Drink beer/wine/freshly squeezed juice“
“For Valentine's Day we dined at Urfa Bistro and as always, we were thoroughly impressed. The meal started with warm, soft bread accompanied by a delicious olive infused dipping oil bursting with flavor. For the main course, we had the Rib Eye dish, perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, accompanied by garden vegetables, mashed potatoes and Bearnaise sauce. Each bite was a delicious delight. The friendly staff, attentive service, cozy ambiance and rose for every female guest added to the overall experience, making it a memorable dining outing. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving authentic and satisfying Mediterranean cuisine. It's a fabulous restaurant.“
“This place is airy, and casual, and the dominant tone of blue surprisingly makes the place cheerful too! There is additional outdoor seating . The service reminds you of Olive Garden’s longtime slogan, “ When you’re here, you’re family.” The portions are very generous, and their moussaka was just as it should have been, a classic comfort food! The prawn dish ( I cannot remember the name)that we had ordered was hearty, bright, and packed with flavors! Of course, I would be a regular!“
“This place is amazing for many reasons: 1) Food is very tasty; so far we tried 4 items and they all were amazing, 2) Ingredients are of high quality, veggies crunchy and fresh, etc; 3) They take inspirations from a large variety of cuisines (Mexican, Japanese, Indian, Vietnamese....). This might have been a risky thing, but World Wrapps nailed it; every dish has an unique flavor, which prevents you from getting bored with what they serve. Last but not least: service in this particular location is awesome. They inform how long we are expected to wait. Last time they were running a little bit behind, and they offered us an apology, they were updating us on soon the food will be ready, and even gave us a coupon for a free item. Strongly recommend if you want to eat something both tasty and healthy.Vegetarian options: Beyond "meat", tofu“

From the moment diners step into the cozy, inviting atmosphere, they are greeted with warmth, making Falafel Flame an exemplary choice for those seeking authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. The kabab itself—a masterpiece of tender, marinated chicken grilled to perfection—along with the harmonious sides, underscores the restaurant's commitment to quality and flavor. Overall, Falafel Flame stands out as a must-visit destination, promising not just a meal but a memorable culinary journey supported by exceptional service.“
“I am a HUGE fan of 365 Mediterranean! My company orders from them often via Relish and I always look forward to having them on the menu. I came to their store for the first time and there was tons of parking and seating. The food also came out super quickly (+ a free piece of chocolate). Their portions are always large and the food is always delicious! Highly recommend checking out 365“
“Seriously, and I don’t take this lightly, this is my favorite Shawarma place in the bay. The staff is so friendly sometimes when you go into a place, you just feel like somebody is there for the paycheck, however, these guys lived in breathe Shawarma.I’d go here for dinner, lunch, a quick snack, really any use case.This is a must stop by. Bring your friends bring your family.I recommend this restaurant“
“Really delicious food in a very nice setting. As a vegan, it was really great to be able to try a vegan version of one of the main dishes. The complementary pickles and sauces are a very nice touch, and raise the authenticity a notch. The main dishes are relatively expensive, BUT they are generous, and if you can see in the photo, very finely seasoned! A main plate with a choice of two sides! I definitely ended up with leftovers. I just wish they had a vegan version of their borekas, and maybe a vegan version of topped style hummus. In addition to the pickles and extra tahini on request, one other point I was very impressed with is the bread - freshly made and very fluffy, not the boring bagged/frozen kind you normally find in American Mediterranean restaurants. Falafel was Goldilocks: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, not too dry, not too oily.The staff was very kind and attentive, but be aware it's in a busy area and the restaurant gets crowded, it may not be your best option if you're in a rush. Having said that, I enjoyed chilling out on the patio, slowly enjoying my food on a sunny day without being rushed.Vegetarian options: Vegan kebabs“
“Tayyibaat may not be the fanciest spot in town, but its combination of great food and friendly staff keeps me coming back time and time again. I've frequented this gem countless times, and they've never failed to impress. The burger, in particular, is an absolute must-try—it's simply the best.“

“While in the Los Altos downtown, we were looking for a spot to eat and found this on Yelp. It was a nice find. We enjoyed the food on the hot day and sat outside under the umbrellas on the benches. I ordered a greek salad with chicken and it was very good and fresh. It came with few pieces of bread on the side. The service was great. I would recommend!“
“I had the chicken masala with rice and it came with a potato and I believe Greek salad? Something like that it was an entree at lunch and it was outstanding. I've driven by this place a million times and never stopped and my car was getting repaired across the street and I finally made it inside and was not disappointed. The gentleman that runs the place is very very nice. The food was enough to fill me up which you don't see often sometimes these days. I would recommend it absolutely.“
“I've been ordering food from Asma for the past 2-years, and we can not stop ordering! The food the authentic, delicious and its hard to find same food menu or the quality elsewhere. Our favorite items of the menu are: mombar, grilled beef kofta, chicken pane, hawawshi, and macarona bechamel.Vegetarian options: Koshary, falafel, mousakka, and moreDietary restrictions: Halal“
“Loved the food, service. Ambience at the Castro Street location in downtown Mtn View was fabulous. Great for vegetarians. Lots of choices and everythinga yum. What's not to like?Dishes recommended : hummus plate, sampler of ghanoushes, schnitzels“
“What a vibe—I love eating outdoors under the umbrellas, and I always feel at home here when I meet Alia and the rest of the staff. They truly make it feel like you’re part of the family, and the food reflects a high-quality home cooking feel as well. I come here for the most affordable yet high quality food on the entire of Castro Street, and I often wonder how places like Oren’s and Hummus Kitchen stay in business, when this place tastes so much more authentic and feels like a small-town cafe rather than a corporate chain. I can’t wait to keep trying all the great vegetarian and vegan items on the menu, and I’m happy to see that the veg-GF menu is constantly updating :)“
“One of my go to places. Must try Brizola in the restaurant - super juicy pork chop.The food is good and the portions are generous. Staff are friendly.There is a 4 protein sampler plate - Pikilia plate. I usually order it for 5 - 6 people.... That tells you the portion.“
“I got the mix platter which was pretty expensive ($40) but oh boy all the different meats were amazing and on point. Would definitely go again for the meats.Service was a bit tricky with a few different waiters taking orders and bringing stuff, sometimes mixing things up. We all got the right food and drinks in the end but it could have been smoother“
“Sajj Mediterranean exceeded all expectations with their build-your-own plate option! The food quality is exceptional, and one bowl is definitely more than enough for a satisfying meal. The falafel was a standout, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. As for their drinks, the special mint lemonade and strawberry lemonade were incredibly fresh and flavorful, but the mint stole the show for me. Additionally, the Valentine's Day decorations added a lovely touch to the ambiance during our visit. Highly recommend Sajj Mediterranean for a delicious and refreshing dining experience!“
“The new Cetrella location is the shining star in the Los Altos culinary scene. Great ambience and the food is Michelin quality- exceptionally fresh ingredients with a skilled chef who really knows Mediterranean flavors. As always, owner Mamet is attentive and engaging. Best meal we've had in months!!! “
“We absolutely love this place, it has by far the best hummus around.We ordered the classic hummus and tzatziki. They were both incredible.We opted to try their spanakopita, which in my opinion wasn't as good as others I've had. They come 2 to an order so that was a pleasant surprise. I would stick to the dips next time.“
“Very delicious, one of the best hummus I have ever eaten, so soft and fresh, I would only recommend photos on the menu to better understand how the dishes are served.Very delicious, one of the best hummus I have ever eaten, so soft and fresh, I would only recommend photos on the menu to better understand how the dishes are served.“

“I was wowed at SAJJ! The food flavor, the AMOUNT of food they give you, and the variety of sides available are amazing and delicious! I get my daily veggie intake thanks to them. The price is reasonable for what you get. The staff are happy to add extra when asked. The place looks clean. The flavor of everything is AMAZING. You won’t regret it! (Don’t forget to ask for extra cilantro sauce!)“
“We catered a meal for 100 people for a big event this past weekend, and I worked with Ashvee to make this happen. First of all, she was wonderful and super helpful. The food was ready on time, huge portions and the meal was amazing. The chicken shawarma was excellent!! We had so many people compliment the food. The falafel was delicious and the sauces (Tzatziki, Lemony Tahini Sauce and Spicy Sauce) were so good. I don't even live in PA but I am definitely making the drive down to get more of it. Thank you Ashvee and RMK - great job! Can't wait to come back.“
“Flavorful Delight: A Culinary Journey at Halal Gyro Express & Kababs with Quick ServiceHalal Gyro Express & Kababs has become my go-to spot with its convenient 10 am to 10 pm hours. The Chicken Tikka Masala combo is a standout, featuring spices that beautifully mimic Indian flavors. What sets it apart is the inclusion of salad, bread, and the delightful addition of brown rice with Chicken Tikka Masala. The variety in one meal is impressive. To top it off, the baklava dessert is a sweet treat that adds a perfect finishing touch to the meal—absolutely yummy!“
“Delicious, authentic food in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. We tried the mansaf (slow roasted lamb with freekeh and yogurt). My husband was Egyptian, so he has a discerning palate for this type of food, and he definitely approved. Wonderful service too.Vegetarian options: Falafel, mushroom soup“
“I regret not reviewing this place earlier. Solid Greek food and my usual goto is the Gyro but a friend of mine recently recommended the salmon. So, today I ordered a salmon salad and I also regret not trying this earlier! Delicious, warm, moist, grilled salmon on top of a bed of cool, crisp salad. Great filling lunch that fueled me through the afternoon! Lovely outdoor seating on a beautiful day was the cherry on top!“
“I love this place for its authentic Jordanian flavors. The mansaf here is tasty and the portion is huge. The falafels are moist and crispy. The knafeh is just sweet enough. One of my top Bay Area places. Beware though, parking can be difficult since this is located in a modest business park.“
“I'm fairly accustomed to eating Mediterranean, as I've gone to many places before. I can say that this one is easily the best place to go. Their garlic feta fries were so crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. The pita is BEAUTIFULLY soft. Easily the softest I've ever had! The manager constantly checked in on us and our server was so kind. A wonderful experience!“
