“We are not immigrants, we are not Russians or Ukrainians. We are Americans and we were referred by Karimov Foundation it was the first time we ever tried Uzbekistan Food. It’s my to go place since then. Would recommend spend your money in here rather than some fast food places.Thank you guys for tasty food.“
“The food and service here is impeccable. It takes 5-10 mins to get your food but its well worth it since it's made to order. They have a simple menu which is great and even a Dave's "not" chicken cauliflower option for vegans. The night time manager lady was very kind and courteous in her demeanor and treated the employees she was training very respectfully. I did not get her name but I will next I visit and give her a shout out! The food alone was satisfying enough to make me a return customer but the service level really converted me into a definite multiple repeat customer.“
“The food here is excellent! The people are super friendly. The restaurant is very clean. I was doing laundry next door at sunshine laundry and every 10 or 15 minutes or so thelaundromat would fill with a delicious aroma. So when my laundry was done I just had to go and hunt it down. I got there like 3 minutes before 11. And they were still open, kinda, the man was super friendly and welcomed me in. He didn't even mention that they closed at 11. I ordered the Chicken kebab, and he mentioned that there are a few sides that just come with it and some Rice so I got that and and he asked me casually if I was going to be there guest or take it to go which I found very sweet and inviting. So I was like sure I'll eat it here. So it didn't take long for my food to be ready maybe 10-15 minutes and wow this food is AMAZING. Everything was sooooo good. The white sauce is delicious I HAD to ask for extra. The chicken was sooooo good and they gave me a lot too. Rice so good. All of it! Everything got an A+ in my book. But what really got me was how nice they all were. The host told me what everything was and answered all my questions and even tho it was wayyyy past closing they never once rushed me or gave me the side eye. I've never had afghan food before but I definitely will go back. So so good. Oh my. So good. (Says with a mouth full of food)Go eat there. Hurry run!“
“I came here with my family, the food was delicious, I highly recommend Tikka Kabab, Chopan/Shepherd Kabab, Kabab Kobida and the original Uzbeki Palaw. Prices are fair and staff were super respectful and friendly.Environment can be improved.“
“I’ve ordered the same dish from here twice, the Chicken Gyro Plate, in the past two weeks. The portion is great, the food is delicious and worth a try! The location is a bit sketchy and the restaurant itself is a basic “take away” joint. The staff is friendly and quick. Rating 4 Stars because one day I went, the chicken was on the dry side and the next time I went, the chicken was moist and really good. It’s obvious the flavors and quality differ based on who cooks it. Yet I will go again, as it’s still worth it.“
“Loved the food here! The staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our chicken, lamb, and beef kabobs, along with the complimentary bread and sauces. Prices were very reasonable. It was our first time and glad we stopped in to try it.“
“We came here on a whim since we were driving into the area. I'm so glad that we chose this mom&pop location opposed to the other korean restaurants nearby.The parking situation is a bit awkward, it isn't located in the best area but it's fine as long as you find a spot right in front of the building. Upon arriving, there were only two other parties which indicated that they weren't really busy. We sat down with big appetites, so we were ready to try out different dishes. It seemed like there was just a wife and husband behind the counter and kitchen. It was a very friendly atmosphere and it was almost like being at home.Everything that we ordered was absolutely delicious and filled us up. Next time, I would order the gochujang sauce on the side since it made the wings a bit soggy after a few minutes. There were so many sides that it filled up the entire table. I love how there was unique banchan that I never had before which made the meal taste even better. I would definitely recommend this place!“
“Finally got to try this place out after driving by so many times and seeing so many people out there waiting. I got the falafel platter and a side of fries. So flavorful and so good! You also get a lot of food and best part? It tastes even better the next day.“
“Everything I've tried here is fantastic. They give you very generous portions for a great price! Super nice people who own and run it. Even after moving farther away we still drive to get it! All their hummus flavors are delicious, such a cute hidden gem!“
“King's Halal was great!! We got the lamb and beef Philly meal and the lamb and beef gyro meal. Both were EXCELLENT! Might be better than any other mediterranean place we've been. Owner was very nice and personable. They definitely deserve their high rating!“
“Best chicken zinger burger and wrap in Sacramento. The taste and quantity is wholesome! love zingers and couldn’t find any decent restaurant in the US. That’s all I’ve tried and I can testify it’s not at all disappointing.Small review - Chicken is a little over cooked could be juicier. You can further improve it by adding more flavor of sauce like tandoori mayo!May Allah bless your work??“
“I usually don't come into a place 15 mins before they close but I did tonight and I really appreciate that they didn't seem put out about it. I was somewhat familiar with what I wanted and the guy at the counter patiently answered my questions. Very good food and very good service.“

“We were in the area and l noticed Essy's Kabob. Knowing my better half likes Mediterranean type of food I suggested we try it for lunch. When we got there we were greated by a couple of the employees and asked if it was our first time there. We were then explained what the menu items were and told what was most popular. We both decided on the chicken kabob and found a table. A short while later we were brought some warm and tadty pita bread. A short time later our chicken kabob plates should up with basmati rice, hummus, and fresh grilled pepper and tomato. The chicken was very good, tendor with great flavor. The rice, hummus and vegetables were equally as good and tasted very fresh. All in all it was a good choice and good meal. Friendly, helpful staff and reasonably nice dinning area. Looked like they do a fair amount of catering as well. Definitely worth trying.“
“Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday, and sadly the place was completely empty. Given the great reviews, I tried it anyway and am glad I did. I had the "Sunny" Burger, and it was fantastic. Cooked perfectly, moist, and flavorful. Best burger I have had in a while. Friendly staff, fast service. Check this place out and do not be afraid to be the only guest.“
“I was crunched for time and they were able to get me my food faster than a drive thru at a fast food restaurant. Friendly and accommodating service. I have passed this place several times and have wanted to try, and they did not disappoint. The food is GREAT! I got the spicy chicken gyro with a Greek salad, oh so tasty. If you have not tried them, make sure you do. If I lived closer I'd be in trouble.“
“Caution ⚠️ the mild is HOT ? & the HOT is the devils! ?. For the majority of people the mild will be the ideal balance between flavor & heat. For the brave souls who dare to try the hot & up! God bless lol yes the hot is only their mid level. They have 2 levels higher & the last one you have to sign a waiver!? all in all the food is definitely delicious! The fries are amazing! The Mac & cheese is MID nothing special but the sliders & the rub (medium) is smacking lick your fingers good! Didn't try their slaw.“
“Delicious meals. We got the gangster burger and the gyro platter. The service was very attentive and prompt. It was our diary time so they helped us choose what to order and it was easier to get to from the freeway and easy to get back on the freeway.“
“Great late night environment, i cam by friday night with the fellas … the atmosphere was amazing and welcoming … the music and the crowd draws you over but the smell of the food is what get you to the register. The staff was very friendly and welcoming … the gentleman who runs the place was very welcoming outside interacting with customers mad me feel like i was missing out on the party. This was my first visit and i ordered the chicken and waffles with mild spice … the chicken was deliciously fried as a strip eating guy i love that strips was juicy meaty not over breaded and the waffles were delicious and cooked to perfection with the light crunch you want out of a waffle .. i dont know what flavor is in the waffle but its damn good plain eventho i dosed mine in butter and syrup. Definitelya lively night location id love to come back in the day time … definitely will return with my family … amazing customer service and delicious food“
“I wanted to try authentic, traditional Palestinian food to show my solidarity with their people's struggle for freedom. I was visiting my sister in Sacramento, and she recommended Basha Taste of Jerusalem. They start you off with complimentary fresh baked flat bread and olive oil which tasted divine! We ordered the "Mansaf" lamb and chicken dish, and the "Maqluba" upside-down chicken and rice dish. It was absolutely phenomenal! The portions are very generous and we had lots of left overs to-go that tasted just as great the next day. I loved the interior décor and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town to try more dishes that are not common at generic "Middle Eastern / Mediterranean" restaurants.“
“I went today after a long day at work looking for a halal pizza place and I don’t regret it at all. I was blown away by how good the pizza tasted. Not only that, the place was so clean which is very unexpected for a family business and I was treated with kindness and warm hospitality by the staff, and they were very friendly and attentive. Their pizza always has a lot of toppings and you couldn’t find anything like this at regular fast food restaurants. I’m definitely coming back next time I’m craving pizza!“
“I am delighted to share my wonderful experience of dining at this restaurant. The taste of the food was absolutely delicious and left me craving for more. Credit goes to Mr. Arif who has done an excellent job in maintaining high standards of professionalism and providing top-notch service to customers. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for an unforgettable dining experience. The customer service was exceptional and deserves more than just five stars!“
“The food is just great and their proportions are good!I’ve been coming back here for food & I usually go with their chicken & lamb over salad with yogurt. A great combo, must try, must have!The lamb is prepped good, no smell and the chicken is tender! I go with the spicy sauce, but they also offer mild. Spicy tbh isn’t too spicy, very bearable.They also have milk shakes & offer smoothies!I eat out only here when in the area. Subway & the other restaurants don’t compare. Thank you for your service!??“
“I wish I would have taken pictures of my food but I doubt they would have done this review any justice. I ordered the chicken gyro, chicken Philly and a lamb/steak Philly via phone call and the person (male) taking the order was pleasant and articulate enough to understand him. He repeated the order back to me twice and asked if I wanted to make my food spicy and then made sure he had it down right and gave me an estimated wait time of 15. I got there 20 minutes later and my food was ready and I was immediately welcomed with a smile and a courteous “hi, are you here for pickup? “. I’m so surprised the place was empty and I was a bit scared that maybe it wasn’t a good sign but when I went in the car and opened my food I was pleased at how big my portions were meaning there was plenty of meat and chicken on my gyro so I know I wasn’t being ripped off like in other places where they give you 5 pieces of lamb or steak for the amount you pay . The food is extremely affordable compared to other afghan/ gyro places and the meat given is soooo much more compared to others too. My husband and I took a big bite and we couldn’t stop eating even after being full. The food was so good; the chicken was so juicy and full of flavor and it tasted fresh. I also need to clarify that the “juicy” part of the meals had nothing to do with grease or too much left over oil this place really knows how to make their food so delicious without feeling like you bit into straight up oil. I did not have any stomach issues after eating and it definitely wasn’t salty so I’d recommend this place to people with sodium restrictions. The two gentlemen went above and beyond from the first call all the way til my food was given to me with a smile. Overall I would definitely recommend this place to anyone craving a “middle eastern” food item and for welcoming service. I do have ONE complaint and that is their parking availability, the entrance is tight and there is limited parking so I can see how this would be difficult to visit during rush hour times. Do try this place out!Dietary restrictions: Low sodium, customizable options“
“We stopped here for dinner based on some friends recommendation. Tried the chicken biryani, goat and chicken curry, roast chicken, mixed vegetables, and fried Pomphret (Thai) style. Everything tasted fantastic. The portion sizes could be a little more.“
“Updated final review after a year same authentic pakistani food taste same 10/10 service. I don't understand what's all those 1star reviews about. Very friendly staff reasonable price fresh food always. ? ? ?.Can't find a single thing about to complain about in whole year almost.“
“Most amazing Gyro i've ever had... Tender tasty meat lots of produce amazing garlic yogurt sauce with a fresh pita. Much much bigger than any yro i've had and much better, too. I got the combo with the salad and drink. It came out to $16 which is about the same price as a big Mac meal. But much healthier and tastier. The salad was phenomenal, and there were lots of fresh produce cucumbers. Tomatoes, onion's lettuce with great sauce and big portions.“
“Amazing hospitality and customer service. Fast service, fair prices, and delicious food. If you're a regular, they will start making your food while in line.I would get a Spicy Chicken Platter at least once a week. Worth my wallet. It's nutritious and filling.“
“dined at this establishment and found the buns exceptionally soft and delectable. While the chicken quesadillas didn't quite suit our tastes, they weren't unpleasant and might appeal to others. The buffalo fries were enjoyable. It would have been convenient to have a kid's menu available. The milkshakes were generously sized, although too large for the kids to finish. The service was outstanding, and I hope this place gains popularity. In terms of pricing, if you're a fan of Monsoon Burger, you'll likely enjoy this place too. Although my husband and granddaughter prefer Monsoon, I personally preferred this establishment because the burgers were exceptionally tasty, and the portion size was just right. Windows are big location can pick up in the future.“
“Good customer service, great chicken, yummy fries all for $10.99!!! You even get a roll and yummy ranch. I will be back to try more items!!! Had Grubhub deliver a kid's burger and Kid's fish and chips today and it was good as well!!! I wish I would have gotten more chicken. I will soon!!!!“
“The service was great and the guy helping me order was super nice and helpful when I picked my order. I got the mixed fries with lamb and chicken. The chicken is slightly spicy because it's marinated in some red spicy sauce. The lamb and chicken were both super moist and really nice. The sauces on top were super good and even though the sauce was all over, the fries weren't soggy and still crisp. I eat a lot and I barely finished the fries. You could easily feed two with one fry order. (I took the picture after I had already taken some bites, it looked a lot prettier than this)“
“The dining room wasn't much to look forward to it needs a remodel to become more welcoming. Pizza wise was ok every slice we pull the majority of the toppings falls off. The pizzas could use more cheese and the toppings were light for the price. The service was very nice and that's the reason why I gave this place a 4 instead of a 3. Overall it was ok“

“Highly recommend place burger was pretty good and the staff were helpful enough. Specially there ice cream was awesome .Prices are reasonable for what you get. Drink are just canned Sodas. it took them about 10 minutes to come up with my order.Thanks“
“Quite good Indian food. I'm not sure what all the negative reviews are about. It's possible that's because we dined when they were not too busy. Anyway, you can tell they make things more fresh than other Indian restaurants. Naans are great, and their butter chicken / paneer is very flavorful. I'd go back.“

“I like their simple straight forward Menu with certain levels of Spice. I found medium is the best option for an average Spice lover and mild if you can't cope with spicy food. Try to eat is ASAP, the hotter the better taste-wise. Staff is friendly and like their ranch sauce and ask for honey sachets for a unique taste. They're a bit expensive but worth the money value. Only thing which is annoying is a long line, no drive thru and no phone orders to save time.“
“My wife and I love this restaurant. Food is always good. The only issue is paying for online orders. It never seems to want to go though. Besides that my wife and I will keep coming here.Kid-friendliness: My wife is a part-time vegetarian. She would kill me for saying that they definitely have some vegetarian options that are delicious“
“I’m staying at a hotel nearby and decided to try this place. I got a falafel wrap and it was so DELICIOUS! The first bite I took had so many flavors. It is a good value for how much food you get. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but I would definitely recommend trying this place. I’ll be back here at least one more time before I leave.“
“I have this daydream about opening my own space and it’s usually been about a bar, but walking into this place was like walking into that daydream, but better. I absolutely loved everything from the decorations to the music to the belly dancer to the tea.We had an awesome time celebrating our wedding anniversary with dinner and then coming here to hookah. You could tell there were some regulars and I really liked that.The tea was absolutely spectacular. We got jasmine green tea which is my favorite. It had actual jasmine flower in it and the tea was perfectly brewed. I read someone else’s review of the green tea having hints of cardamom so I’ll definitely need to try that next time. So happy we checked this place out!“
“Awesome spot! We had the Gyro Wrap for 8.99 and it was awesome. The real way to tell if it’s a good Gyro or not is if they have the spice Sumac, AND THEY DID!!! If you’ve never had Sumac come over and make sure to ask for a little cup and don’t be sparing! 5/5 for this little joint.“
“Stopped by a couple months ago and finally getting around to making a post. I can't remember what I originally ordered, but it wasn't available and they offered an alternative which was the chicken kabob and I am glad they mentioned it because it was great. Also, the hookah and service were also decent and better priced than some other spots. Not to mention, the patio is a nice touch. I can tell this place garners some regulars too, which is a good sign to me. Definitely worth checking out and supporting this local business.“
“Great Pizza and Prices too! I would highly recommend Pizza Boyz to all pizza lovers in the area. They were quick when we came in to order and the food was delicious. 5 stars!! The restaurant was clean and nice and the servers/workers were very friendly! I will absolutely be back soon.“
“Tastiest gyro wrap I've ever had, and really nice falafel! Fast service, great staff, a whole lot of delicious food for a really good price. The sauces are fantastic. Definitely putting Falafel Corner on my short list of places to call when I want takeout.“
“The best Jamaican food I’ve had since moving from the East Coast to California 2 years ago. Trust me, I’ve been looking!I got the combo plate with jerk and curry chicken. Delicious! The portions are also huge. I ate this for 3 days! The beef patty was stuffed and flaky. We stopped by on our way back to San Francisco from Tahoe. Totally worth the detour.“
“This review is in response to @Vijenti Davis, who made a really harsh comment. Children can get enthusiastic occasionally. The restaurant performed well, and they were accommodating. This restaurant doesn't deserve bad reviews for their service.“
“One of the best afghan food restaurant. Nothing fancy it's a small place, if you're looking for an authentic and fresh food made to order this is the place to go. The owner is very friendly and great service. This was my 2nd time here both times I was very impressed with the quality of the food and their customer service.“
