Chicken shish kabab was okay. It was with mild flavor and not juicy per my taste. Ambience of outdoor sitting is nice touch.

the owner at the beginning was not rude but not helpful he was really straight forward. then when the food arrived the chicken was very dry and had no taste but the beef was not as bad with a little taste. The wraps were very oily and spilling on the plate so much.The lentil soup was the best part of the meal and the bread with yogurt appetisers. (IF YOU CAN AVOID THIS PLACE).

Really nice people and great food!

Pretty decent. the menu put together with care and flavors are authentic. Chicken and beef shish kabob as well as the chicken or beef/lamb gyros plates are pretth generous and delicois as well. Try the turkish coffee, or hot black tea after that heavy kabob. ?

Hospitality and service were great. Food was not disappointing, but we’re not experts in judging Mediterranean food, although we did clean up our plates. We were disappointed that the salmon shiskabab did not come with hummus as shown in the picture posted at the front; were advised that that is a special order. This was a little misleading. Had to order it as a side for about $8.

Vegetables have a weird aftertaste, most likely stale. Chicken was not grilled, more like boiled and colored with paprika. I will never ever come close to this place again.

It's best Mediterranean cuisine in the Bay Area! Enjoy it every time I visit. And a walking distance away from Stanford.

The best Mediterranean food in Bay Area! Portions are really big and delicious. Would recommend to everyone.

Pretty disappointing. I don't know if I came in during an off hour or if they had technical issues, but the gyros was pan-fried instead of coming from a rotating spit. Definitely could taste the difference and would have appreciated a heads-up about that when ordering ?

The hospitality, food and service were outstanding. This was my first time here. Coming from a heavy Arabic background, I'm an expert in middle eastern food and this was definitely up there. A one stop shop in a way like hummus, falafel, tabouli and etc. This is a very busy location so I parking can be hectic and similar with wait times. But food comes right off the grill and to your plate. Can't ask for better than that. They even gave me some Arabic tea on the house and as an icing on the cake. Look forward to coming back and trying the lamb wrap..I hear it's top notch. Overall fantastic first experience, especially as a new resident of California.
