Middle Eastern Restaurants near Lafayette, CA

“It’s in the LOCAL KITCHENS store front that has lots of small food businesses made in one micro foodhall set up.The pita and falafel and quality is still awesome, just more of a fast food counter service set up. Vegan falafel pita sandwich is awesome.Good benches to eat outside.“

“We have eaten here numerous times and the falafel (my fave) is always hot and fresh and they salads and sauces in the pita are generous so its a lovely full taste. We always take a bag of pitas home to use in subsequent days. The prices seem reasonable for the quality they serve. Just watch out for the aggressive drivers in the parking lot (shared with Trader Joe etc. - wow those Lafayette folks are intense)“

“We love the food here and come almost every week. Everything is cooked so well, we often get the lamb shank or zereshk polo and the meat just falls apart from the bone. The warm bread is delicious and goes well with all dishes. The lemonades are super unique and delicious, I really like the pistachio one!Picture is zereshk polo with yogurt and eggplant appetizers :)“

“I am an ESOL teacher of Yemani students. I was excited to try Yemani food for the first time! It was an overall great experience. Go with at least 4 people to share many dishes. There is a button on the wall to call your server if needed. Very cool idea! I also love their juice and smoothie menu. All fresh with a hit of Yemani culture mixed into each drink. Try the sweet black tea too.Kind service and very tasty food.“

“*Just visit again ~The food is awesome and really big.But it tastes a little bit burnt at the bottom of the wrap, I’m not sure how can I call it? Crust or tortilla?Also, the sauce is amazing too!For a Taiwanese, it’s hard to accept spicy sauce with strong vinegar tasting, such as Tabasco.But the sauce you have is just amazing. No matter the green one(Cilantro Jalapeño)or the red one(Fire Chili), they’re spicy but without too much sour.I believe most of the Taiwanese or Chinese or Malaysian or Singaporean will love the sauce too.I'm Taiwanese, and their hot sauce doesn't have a strong vinegar flavor. If you don't like Tabasco's chutney,I seriously recommend this one“

“A gem of a place. This place was recommended to me by a friend so I visited the place with high expectations. And they didn’t disappoint.The food was excellent 10/10. We ordered the tikka kabob, chopan kabab, bolani and afghan burger. They were all tasty. The kebabs were juicy and tender.The owners and waiters were the nicest people I have met specially Haroon Jan. Adding it to list of my favorite places to eat at.“

“If you are looking for proper food, falafel, shawarma, decent tzatziki and whatever else, this is a great place to check out.Two doner vertical spots and a decent lamb beef combo from them.Recommended. I visited twice just to be sure.Update: 04/04/24Well, I keep giving them a chance to prove me wrong. But so far it that hasn't happened. Excellent food, friendly staff, And it doesn't matter if I'm in a bad mood, or already feeling good, I always walk out of there in a better mood than when I walked in. Thank you my friends. Keep up the excellent work.Teşekkürler Arkadaşlar“

“Chicken, hummus, rice & cucumber tomato salad. Food flavorful. Rice like and fluffy, not overcooked. Chicken delish, but I took off star because I wasn't a fan of the hummus. Btw 1 piece of chicken is missing, my son took it. Note: Make sure you get the green sauce, and that the chicken hasn't been sitting too long.“

“I was here last Sunday and got the rack of lamb and a glass of wine. The lamb was overcooked, the vegis were raw, and the garlic mashed potatoes were absolutely awful(no flavor, no substance like instant box potatoes). I didnt hate my meal and I'd love to come back, but for the price point I'd like a better attention to quality. I dinged down the atmosphere because a plastic tent is kind of a turnoff.The server that night was spectacular.“

“We came for the new Brunch and we're delighted with our choice! The Turkish coffee was excellent, the food delicious, and the staff were welcoming and fun. I loved the eggs poached in shakshuka, the omelet with hash browns was great for a GF choice, and both the sweet and the savory crepes were hits. I think next time we'll come for dinner, music and belly dancing! If you want to feel like you're in another world for a little while, this is the place!Dietary restrictions: We needed some gluten free choices, and the omelet with hash browns fit the bill!“
