“Amazing food at a reasonable price with generous portions.The interior has an industrial aesthetic, but it's comfortable and the staff are very friendly here.They have a great selection of Gluten Free options and they have the best shawarma fries in the area!Dietary restrictions: Plenty of Gluten-Free options here!“
“I happened to order from Roaster and Raw on what was one of the worst days I've had this year. Needless to say, they made it better. I ordered for pickup for the first time, because I've heard great things about this place. When I went outside to my car to go pick up my order, I literally saw my car being stolen in front of my face - they sped away in my car right when I walked outside of my house. Of course I freaked out and a million things need to be done NOW in these situations, so I called the police etc. It occurred to me later that I had ordered food, so I called R&R to ask them if there was any way they could switch my pickup order to a delivery order and I explained the reason why. The owner, who I spoke with, was at my door in less than 15 minutes with my order. He got to me before the police did. He told me his car was recently stolen so he knew what I was going through. I hate that I forgot your name, kind sir! There was just a lot happening at the time, but you so kindly introduced yourself and brought me my food...I was and still am beyond touched. The smallest actions and gestures go so far with me, so I'm spreading that positivity and kindness so it can keep rolling! Thank you Roasted and Raw, and the amazing young man who went above and beyond for a fellow Oakland neighbor from the good in your heart. Never forgotten. :)“
“Ordered the sashimi appetizer over the phone for takeout on a late Saturday afternoon.Very efficient and friendly service.Given the location in a upscale area, I was surprised at the reasonableness of the price and the quality. Also, even though I didn't eat at site, it is a very pleasant intimate environment. If I'm ever in the area I would definitely come here again.“
“Finally made it to Pomella, a restaurant that's been on my wishlist for a while. Tried the Lamb Wrap—an amazing combo of house-made Laffa flatbread, hummus, cabbage salad, Shirazi salad, and your choice of protein, topped with tahini and green lemon sauce (not spicy). It was worth the wait! Conveniently located near a hospital, which was perfect for me after a routine check-up—I just walked a block over after my lab work. Plus, there's a public parking lot behind the restaurant, making it even more convenient for pick up. Waited around 15 minutes for my food, but it was definitely worth it.“
“My experience here today was really great! The customer service was exceptional. The food was delicious and a perfect price point for the quantity. I was already planning on coming here today and I'm very glad I didn't let a previous negative reviewer change my mind. We got chicken tikka kabob and steak kabob paratha rolls, the meat quality was outstanding. There was no "hot lettuce" anywhere in sight. The rolls were meat forward, which is my preference, and came with diced cucumbers, onions, raita, and I believe a very small amount of a tamarind sauce (when they gave us squeeze bottles of additional sauces the lady called it Pakistani BBQ sauce which I thought was not only cute but helpful because it was much thinner and less overpowering than some tamarind chutneys, I really liked it). We also got samosas and they were really good but I will try something else next time because the cinnamon was a bit strong for my taste, but that's not a dig, I'm excited to try new things on their menu! And the mango lassi they gave us samples of is outstanding, I will come back to get that as a sweet treat soon. The 5 star reviews are not BS :)“
“Top neighborhood gem… owner/ chef makes healthy fresh Salmon, lamb and chicken Mediterranean dinners with organic veggies and farro or rice… served in a cozy, not overly fancy spot with white tablecloths and a good wine list. Affordable! Best bargain in North Beach. Have the tiramisu for dessert!!“
“AMAZING food (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)❤️I like their spice and the good ingredients quality!They provide free water and the vibe inside is chill. I like how they didn't turn on crazy AC so you feel nature and homie as your home. The restroom is clean and the staff are nice :DIts going to be one of my go-to restaurants on Euclid now!*they also have vegetarian options*can customize sides and spicy level“
“Excellent place to get breakfast or sandwich and a coffee. Small, efficient, friendly, delicious, and well priced! As of December 2023 a sausage egg and cheese croissant is still just $5.45, when donut shops are charging up to $7/8 for the same thing.“
“I was very happy to find this Mediterranean place in Alameda. You order either a pita, wrap, or bowl, and then you customize it however you want. You can choose a protein then add the extras you want. Some of the extras cost extra, but there are also plenty of free extras as well. Some of the free extras (like beets) are pretty skimpy though. One thing I learned is there are different types of couscous. I've always been accustomed to the Israeli couscous, which are tiny pearl-like pastas. But here, they have Moroccan couscous, which is more like a grain. This tasted great in the salad. What we had..+ Chicken shawarma wrap - Very well put together and very tasty. However, it was a bit smaller than wraps from Kebab Shop or Halal Guys.+ Chicken shawarma bowl - I added a lot of extras, and somehow it all tasted great together. The hummus was quite a bit thicker than I'm used to. The texture wasn't conducive to mixing with your salad or for dipping your pita in, but still very tasty.Overall, this was a happy find.“
“This place is AMAZING. Hassan was also such a sweetheart and so kind!My partner and I ordered the Jordanian wrap, the chicken shish kabob wrap, the chicken plate, and a couple baklava. It was all super yummy, especially the falafel and roasted cauliflower in the Jordanian wrap, and the chicken was the most soft and tender I've ever had. It was literally falling apart. We're definitely planning to come back and try out more items :) Only constructive feedback I can give is that the hot sauce could have been spicier! We had them both and they were both mild for us.“
“I've been coming to this location since 2010 when I started working in the area...not sure why it took me this long to write a review. The employees are all awesome and the food is even better. While I would typically order the same thing as my 'go-to' (chicken Cesar wrap add croutons) everything else I've tried is great. Burgers, cheesesteaks, all of the other wraps and even the Cesar Salad in itself is huge. If you're in the area, this is a solid stop to try.“
“This place is amazing ! Great hookah ! Great staff! They treated me like a Queen for my bday!! I definitely recommend. The food is fresh and delicious. They’re fresh juice cocktails are to die for!! THE VIBE IS AMAZING !! Highly recommend it!! ???“
“Was walking by and decided to try it. The server could have been a little more friendly. Or helped me decide on what to order. I ordered a combo plate lamb and beef gyros, and it came with rice salad and pita bread.Atmosphere would have been better if there was a screaming child.Other than that, I will recommend.“
“My husband and I stopped for lunch on a bike ride that passed through the the area. It’s a hidden lunch gem in a office space, but we’re glad we found it. We went halfsies on the Sicilian chicken sandwich and the falafel wrap. Both were delicious, but the falafel wrap was the real standout. I’d go out of my way to come back for another one of those.Good service, nice staff, great outdoor seating on a sunny day.“
“We like to come to Earl's before the Mirvish show. Certainly the brunch menu is very good. Eggs are a fair value. Prices, generally are a little high. (especially for a veggie burger). Staff are friendly and professional. Although the left side we go in, tables are bar height tables and not as comfortable; I prefer the right side at a comfortable booth table. The right side of Earl's where the lower tables are, was more convenient for those of us who are still trying to distance from crowds or crowded spaces for covid/RSV etc. reasons.“
“Stopped in to order take out after passing this place daily. The place is no frills but clean. I ordered the Shawarma time salad. The menu doesn't have a description of the salad but it's cucumber, tomato, radish, onion and cabbage with lots of sumac, then covered in chicken and beef shawarma. It was great. I was starving so I got the large salad. They didn't skimp on the protein. It's great to have a healthy lunch option in the area. I'll be back to try the plates and wraps!“
