“Chicken Shawarma wrap and chicken sharwarma over rice were amazing. Lavash Wrap was filling and yummy. Each side of falafel had 4 falafels which were perfectly crisp even after taking out. Overall great, will come back again for ambience and serviceVegetarian options: Many veg options including falafel, hummus, babaganoush“
“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.“
“Food and service was generally great. The seating is a little unfortunate - we were told there would be a longer wait to sit inside, and even after waiting, eventually directed to outside seats where a lot of bits were falling from the trees and it was slightly colder. The tables inside were mostly empty so not sure what happened.“
“Don't walk, RUN to Kabob Fusion. My partner and I were looking for a restaurant that opens late on a Friday night and we were so blessed to discover this gem. The staff is so warm and welcomes you like family. The menu is concise and offers photos which help with decision making. We ordered the combo plate and the gyro wrap and hnnnnnghhh it's so good...like so so good. The gyro is grilled to perfection, soft and flavorful and not overly salty. Everything is really made with passion, I know this staff cares about feeding their customers well. Highly recommend this joint in Fremont. Watch out competitors, this place is on its way up.“
“The food here is amazing! Super delicious and flavorful. I got the spicy sausage sandwich and my husband got the goulash and both were fantastic. I love the cozy vibes of the restaurant and the staff is super friendly. I’m definitely coming back here and highly recommend!“
“We were just passing by and visited this restaurant. We ordered Momo sizzler, fries, etc and found it very tasty. We ordered some item and they did tell it is going to be spicy. We went with mild but still it was spicy for us. The restaurant folks treated us well. Overall it was an unplanned visit and we thoroughly enjoyed the food.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“I had a dentist appointment afterwards, and they took a little longer than I expected to get the food out. However, they still get 5 stars because the food is literally the best. The Olive dip was made in heaven for all of humanity to enjoy!“
“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.“

I tried their kebabs and wraps and it was really good. The staff was incredibly attentive, catering to our every need without being intrusive. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendations, which made choosing our dishes a delightful experience. Will definitely come back to try their others options from the menu.“

“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“
“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“
“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!“
“You can't get better than this. The place is super clean. Easy parking. Friendly lady at the counter. And the Gyro I ordered was the best I've ever had. AMAZING! I ordered the Super Gyro. Omg. So delicious!!! Added... Greek fries are wonderful! But my gyro on a Monday evening was dry... the meat also tasted left over/ not fresh... and crazy salty. Won't change my 5 star rating based on this, unless this happens again.Vegetarian options: Great falafel for vegetariansParking: Plenty of free parkingWheelchair accessibility: Yep... it is.“
“I go twice per week getting their wraps & plates for years. Food always so fresh & unbeatableServices also outstandingKid-friendliness: Kids get free meals if dinner in during weekendWheelchair accessibility: Place is wide, easy to move around.Most important thing is really clean, food quality is super good“
“A friend recommended the food here and she was right, it's delicious! We tried the falafels, gyro souvlaki pita, and the falafel pita. My sister is allergic to dairy, and the employee at the cash register was very friendly and helpful when we asked about dairy-free items on the menu.Parking: It's a small, one-way parking lot of a little shopping strip“
“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.“
“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!“
“Their tabbouleh is really quite amazing, and the falafel as well. Add to that excellent hummus and baba ganoush, and this is an excellent place for a vegetarian meal. Hey, the meat smells really good too, just haven't had it yet.Update: the meat dishes are great too, and i enjoyed the lentil rice dish as well... People that like their beef/lamb combo with plenty of lamb should be happy.“

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!)“

“Had the harvest salad, Greek salad, and hummus with garlic pita for takeout. The salads were decent, but the hummus was more like 3 stars: a little bit too salty (I've never salty issue about hummus before), and the garlic pita had no garlic aroma at all. But I'll give overall 4 stars due to the salads.“
“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“

“Bay Area do need such authentic Indian food. What truly set this restaurant apart was its authenticity; the chefs have managed to capture the essence of traditional Maharashtrian cuisine without compromising on taste. The use of locally sourced ingredients added a layer of freshness that elevated the dish to new heights.Overall, my experience here was nothing short of exceptional. From the warm hospitality to the authentic flavors and perfect balance of spice and oil, this establishment has set a new standard for Maharashtrian cuisine. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or simply seeking a taste of authenticity, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to SURMAI.“
“I rarely give a five star ratingCause I always think there's room for improvement but my wife and I have eaten here about 3 times getting the chicken plate combo and everything is excellent. The chicken, rice,salad w/dressing and saucesWe can't wait to try other things there.“
“The service hands down is the best here at this kebab shop location. Food is excellent taste fresh and prepared very well. This is a clean restaurant and meat is very tender and veggies are fresh and the sauces. Amazing. This is a must place for your wrap or kebab fries cravings.“

“This place is fire. Shawarma on the rocks is my go to and next is butter chicken. For sure gonna plan on trying some wraps next time I slide. 10/10 would bring out the homies here. Service is quick and fast got that extra sauce too when I ask. Good people good food“
“This is an upscale hotel bar that I visited while staying here. They have a good burger and a good selection of drinks available. Their beer menu is not as extensive as possible but reasonable given that it's a hotel bar. The place is a bit pricey but there's not really anywhere else better in walking distance.“
“This out of the way location has some of the best chicken in San Jose. The quality of the meat it very high, and the spice is a very pleasant mix of flavor and hot. If you ask for it mild, you actually get a mild seasoning, and if you ask for it hot, it can get as spicy as you like it.They are a bit on the slow side, but that's because the chicken is cooked fresh. It comes out piping hot and juicy. It is definitely worth the wait. The slaw on the sliders is decent and the sauce balances the spicy seasoning well. The fries are OK, because they are there to hold up that magnificent chicken.Not many choices on the menu, and every choice provides a full meal. The tenders are not those measly sad pieces of meat you find at other restaurants, here they'll fill you up. The sliders are a bit larger, and make for a good sandwich or fork & knife. If you need to get some chicken for someone who's not quite as hungry, the tender on the side is a good addition.I hesitate to write such a good review because right now it feels like our secret, but I want to see them succeed and stay in business for years to come: so please give them a try. It's a million times better than you'd expect while driving by.“
“The Koobideh is as best as the Bazar in Tehran. One of the highest quality in the bay area I have ever experienced. It is juicy and tasteful.We ordered for a party of +25 people and we did pick up the order ( they offer a delivery for a fee, which sound like a good deal too, but we had a friend nearby who picked it up for us).The process of ordering was very smooth, we stopped by and talked with the manager. He was very helpful and explained all the options for the order, and even helped us to itemize our order to get a better deal!The day of pickup, they did a great job in packing. We received separated trays( Aluminum trays, we move the food to our own chafing later) of koobideh, grilled tomatos&jalapeños, rice and bread and Sabzi! ( big amount of fresh basil and mint!). There were also a bowl of Sumac. Although it was a 20 minutes drive from the restaurant to our place, the food was still pretty hot!All our guests loved the food, and we were very happy to have chosen Yas for our Fiesta!“
“Busy!! Dine in, take out or delivery. A little spendy, but huge portions and worth the prices. Gyro platter was packed with food, the pita was warm, the meat was plentiful, and two sides. On this Friday for lunch, seating was full. Clean, fast, excellent service. Nice job, Mikonos!“
