This food truck was an amazing idea put into action in sharing a wonderful experience with your taste buds, heart, soul. Please stop by and support this great lady!!!

“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??“
“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.“
“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.“
“Amazing foood!!! I tried their Arabian shawarma meal, it was awesomely delicious!The owner is a friendly guy. I would highly recommend them.The only thing I didn’t like was that their bathroom seemed to be closed and they didn’t have forks on counter. Other than that, it’s a great place to check out. I’ll be coming to try their other menu items out.?“
“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.“
“Kabob House is a delightful surprise! I stumbled upon this gem while searching for another restaurant, and I couldn't be happier. The food here is outstanding – the kabobs are flavorful and cooked to perfection. What started as a chance encounter has turned me into a huge fan. The friendly service and cozy atmosphere make every visit a pleasure. If you're in the area, don't miss the opportunity to experience the culinary delights at Kabob House!“
“I recently visited Cali Gyro, and it was amazing! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were so friendly. The gyro platter I had was delicious, with tender meat and flavorful tzatziki sauce. They offer a variety of other Mediterranean dishes too. If you're craving some tasty Greek food, Cali Gyro is the place to go!“
“This place is a hidden gem! Came here a couple months ago and had the lamb shank and was absolutely blown away by the generous portions, flavor and freshness! Came again for the second time to try their kabobs and was mind blown once again! Most Mediterranean places take a while to prepare the food but here it was surprisingly fast! Not only is it great food but also amazing service, the staff make you feel welcome and go above and beyond. I can't wait to go back!“
“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“
“amazing food with amazing workers!! the store was quiet at around 11am on thursday. many people came in around 12 for lunch but there were plenty of seats. i got a chicken shawarma and a beef and lamb gyro to start. the shawarma was crispy and amazing. it has pickles, a lovely garlic sauce, and super tender chicken. delicious! the beef and lamb were amazing, i love the flavor. the iced white mocha was good. they use peet's coffee for their beans. overall this place is great and i would come again.“
“Calling all foodies! Crest Cafe is the place to be for a delicious and authentic Mediterranean meal. I recently had the pleasure of dining at this hidden gem, and I was blown away by the freshness and flavor of the food.Mediterranean Nachos and FriesI tried the Mediterranean nachos and fries, which are a customer favorite. The nachos were piled high with fresh toppings, including grilled chicken, vegetables, and feta cheese. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I could tell that everything was made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.Convenient LocationCrest Cafe is also conveniently located near public transportation, making it easy to get to and from.RecommendationI highly recommend Crest Cafe to anyone looking for a delicious and affordable Mediterranean meal in a convenient location.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian optionsParking: Street in front of building does not offer street parkingKid-friendliness: No kid menu OptionsWheelchair accessibility: Is wheelchair accessible“
“Finding high quality falafel in the Bay Area can be difficult at times. This restaurant did not disappoint at all. My family ordered from their variety of salads and platters. The chicken was moist and delicious. The falafel crisp and fresh. I will gladly return to this establishment whenever I am in the mood for Mediterranean food.“
“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.“
“Wow!! Debbie, and Alondra were wonderful.I love coming in to see them smiling. So friendly and sincere every time I come in.And not once have I been disappointed by the food. Everything's always fresh and so good!!Definitely worth checking out. Thankyou for the great service!!“
“Found this little gem today. Was pleasantly surprised by the wide selection of food. Ordered a "plate" with gyro as the main dish. The plate included gyro, rice (choice of 3 kinds - they suggested some of each - turned out to be a great choice), salad, beans, there was a dressing on top. It was simply delicious!! Hot, quick and the service was wonderful. Did I say the service was great! They have a nice selection of baklava or other desserts. Simple surroundings. Highly recommend ..“
“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)“

“Little place that mostly does delivery and hall rental plus catering. The staff mostly are Muslim, but I think they might be Afghan, because they knew little English, and didn't respond well to Arabic, French, Persian, or Greek. Dine-in was very limited, but the food was great. It mostly Greek, Arabic, and Mediterranean in substance. Probably hallal, but I didn't see that explicitly stated anywhere.Great food, not up to serving diners on site. We had to ask to get water, and they gave us bottled water. We ordered tea and had to ask for it several times. Still nice people, just very limited English. Moderately recommend. Order ahead, and get the food to go. Don't eat on site.“
“Great food! I can’t stress that enough the food here delicious. Every time I'm in Sacramento, I make sure to stop by this place at least once. Be aware that not all locations taste the same, so it pays to be cautious. However, every time I've visited this particular spot, it's been a solid 10/10.“
“We each had a lamb/beef gyro that was delish: They cut the meat super thin. I’m used to a Greek salad being on a bed of lettuce, so was a little confused when the Greek salad we ordered was just the toppings, but it was still very good. To finish, we tried one of each dessert: the classic baklava was perfection with lots of cinnamon. The kataifi and chocolate baklava were a bit dry. Overall, would definitely return to Petra, but more likely than not would get it to go.“
“There is a lack of Greek places in sac so I'm excited about this new place. I got the gyro platter. It was seemingly fresh but needed some more flavor. The rice was not good, the salad was meh and the tzatziki didn't taste like anything. I would definitely come back though and maybe try a pita wrap or something.“
“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.“
“1-12-23, In for lunch again, ordered the usual falafel wrap, and Gyro wrap both were great.The place looks cleaner, the bath was cleaner and some new paint.Next time in I will try the burgers, they look awesome#justhavingfun**8-17-2022 Adding on to my previous review. Third time into Falafel CornerThis time we both ordered the Gyro wrap, one with the meal deal. Both were very good as was the service. BUT you all need to clean the restrooms,the tables ,walls ,floor Etc...... really really good all the time. I all most took photos.When I come back I hope it's clean.CLEAN IS A GOOD THING. I HOPE YOU AGREE.**Second time in, we shared the falafel wrap and a Gyros wrap. Both were great.“
“Everyone needs to eat here. The food is delicious, affordable, and so fresh! The people who run it are very kind and the the pita bread is fresh baked and still hot from the oven. This is a hidden Sacramento gem! My new go-to when I'm in this neighborhood.“
“The food was nicely prepared and nicely presented. The service could not have been better. The decor was modern, comfortable and pleasing. My only quibble and hence the less than stellar ambiance score is with the music played during the entire meal. The thump, thump, thumping of the bass was unpleasant and could not be ignored. Not my idea of dinner music.“
“I think I've eaten at every Persian place in Sacramento by now, as well as a few of the Iraqi and Afghani places, and for sure there is a lot of great kabob and rice to be had at many of these places. I would rate Famous Kabob recently as one of the best. The Koubideh (ground beef) Kabob they serve is nicely cooked, tender, juicy, and the rice is always very good. I think I've been to this restaurant 6 or 7 times by now, and I'd say the quality has improved in the past couple of years. It's definitely a go-to when I need to place group orders for pickup.“
“Today was one of my coworkers' birthday, and so this is where our group took him to lunch! Never have I ever eaten Mediterranean food. I'm normally not a fan of cooked bell peppers and onions, but I decided to be adventurous and go ahead and try something new ? ? I was totally surprised about how much I really really liked it! I look forward to going to this cozy little place again! All the food is so fresh and flavorful. It was a very good lunch!“
“I loved the food here. I have tried every halal place there is and I’m a big fan of bolani and gyros and it was the best experience. The quality of food was also really good and the price was definitely worth it. I forgot to clean my camera which is why the pictures didn’t come out that clean. But everyone definitely go check it out!“
“We literally just finished our meal, staying at the Citizen hotel next door. We ordered a chicken wrap, chicken philly and gyro philly and one word for all three - epic. Absolutely great flavors. Highly recommend King's Halal Mediterranean Food.“
