The food was delicious and very fresh. I ordered rice with lentils and lentil soup! Both were a bomb! I went late, and the cashier was closing because they were done for the day. The owner still served me food. I thought that was very considerate of the staff. Great service. I recommend if you love Mediterranean Food that's the place to go. You won't be disappointed.
Alrighty honest review timeSo got invited for an iftar here at holy land, it was my first time in almost a decade so did not know what to expect. They did a really good job in their outside tent setup for men and women were inside.The food layout was quite expansive and a lot of options (didn’t get a chance to take a photo of the options in the buffet line). The meat was cooked well, the hummus was pretty good . I would recommend having a label next to each dish so people know what it is.The only downside was that the pita bread was really cold.The tea was alright (it was a mix of the milk and tea cooked together). Sweets were pretty good.I probably will come back to try a regular day food items (outside of Ramadan) and do another review إن شاء الله
Came here a few weeks ago to break our iftar. Food was good, prices a little higher than I was expecting ($25), employees were nice and eating area a bit tight. Minus 1-star because having a buffet style meal after fasting for 16 hours needs more organization. The lines were so long and we are all just waiting to eat.Would come here again but maybe not during Ramadan ?
Holyland is probably the BEST catering in the entire Bay Area! I catered food from here for my Egyptian engagement party and the food was spectacular.Everyone was blown away by the flavors and quality of food! The quantity was also more than enough for the amount of people I had over. When I went in to place my order, the service was great and the restaurant was very clean! I got mahshi wara2 3enab, kofta, shish tawook, kabab hala, mesakaza, rice, hummus, baba ghanouch, salad and rice. Every single dish was outstanding! I can't recommend this place enough! I will definitely be back to dine in and will 100% cater from here again for future events!Thank you so much!
Best Palestinian food. Oui Ammar is the owner and she is amazing. She will help you even with your celebration ? and great food for your guests. This restaurant is representing the generosity of the Palestinian ?? community and people. You should try the Manseff - baba guennoudj is the best in the area. I highly recommend this restaurant and food. Glory to Palestine ?? and people of … Palestine ?? free
I recently came to know about this restaurant's food Mandi and got excited. Hence we took a take out from here and believe me the food is awesome. I'm usually skeptical about eating lamb outside because sometimes you get a peculiar smell that can put you off from eating the dish. This one is cooked so well that I enjoyed Mandi which comes with rice and the dish is garnished with almonds nicely cut. So as you understand this food is not for vegetarians and people with nut allergies. I would definitely like to dine here some other time.
You have got to try the Mandi. It’s simply the best lamb shank you’ll ever get. So much flavor the tender meat. The falafel is outstanding too.
Oh my goodness!!! Holyland is the best Middle Eastern food I've ever had.I ordered the Mansaf, Greek salad, and Mezza for 4.MansafThe yogurt sauce / soup was tasty without being salty and had the right amount of tartness. The yogurt soup added a richness of flavor to the lamb and rice. The rice was moist without being oily or dry. Yogurt sauce drizzled across the rice reminded me of the yogurt sauce in Biryani. The lamb was very tasty and dipping the pieces in the yogurt sauce added to the variety of notes in the meat.Greek saladThe dressing in the Greek salad was light and refreshing. Vegetables were crisp, clean, and fresh.Meza for 4I think this (falafel balls, baba ganoush, and hummus) is pretty standard wherever you go however I did especially like the Tabouli with ( it looked like ) quinoa.This place is definitely better than Dish and Dash or Dish Dash. And the prices are reasonable.I will definitely be back even though it's far out from where I live.
One of the best Middle Eastern restaurants is in the Bay Area.
Delicious food, reasonable prices, big portions. Highly recommend.
