“Vegetarian / vegan wrap perfect for Good Friday. The Turkish double espresso was delicious and not gross like the bitter American roasters. I got fries, but did not realize lentil soup is on the menu. Next time. Operated by family, doesn’t get better than that.Dietary restrictions: Halal“
“This is a superb Mediterranean restaurant in Palo Alto. The food, service, and the ambience are all very nice. For appetizers, we ordered the eggplant which was incredibly flavorful, although a bit on the heavy side. For my main dish I ordered house combo plate, which came with a combination of chicken kebab, beef kebab, lamb and beef gyros, served with rice and a salad. Surprisingly, the chicken kebab were the best ones -- just amazing flavors, although I pretty much enjoyed everything. Very polite and courteous staff -- a definite place to return to.“

“LOVE LOTUS SO MUCH!! OUR FAVORITE PLACE IN SAN BRUNO! Love the shawarma and the shawarma fries, never actually been disappointed by anything we've ordered because it's always so good. Food tastes amazing, is super filling, and pretty healthy. We always order extra tahini and hummus and tabouleh! In terms of desserts I've only had their tiramisu, and it was pretty good! If you're looking for good food, lotus is the place. (free palestine)“
“This was a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere was stylish: marble topped tables and gold chairs, with subdued lighting. The food was exquisite. I started with the roasted cauliflower, made with dates, mint, and harissa tahini sauce. I ordered it because it sounded exotic, and. . . I thought I’d died and gone to heaven! I will order this again! And I followed that with the Caprese pizza (mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and basil). It was, in a word, delicious! The crust was marvelous: soft and slightly chewy. I shouldn’t be surprised. The Turks have the best bread. I will definitely be back, but also want to try the sister restaurant, Mykonos.“
“We love this place and it is our go to place to bring all of our friends. Their wine selection is outstanding and their food is superb....the specials are so delicious, especially their drunken noodles! Check them out, I promise they never disappoint.Dietary restrictions: They pay special attention to my wife's food allergies and are meticulous about making sure she is taking care of.“

The attention to detail in decor, combined with the tantalizing aroma of authentic Greek cuisine, set the stage for an unforgettable dining adventure.

“Dropped in on a whim, wasn’t sure what to order. The owner offered some free samples. The lamb is amazing! Some of the best I’ve ever had. He made me a lamb gyro that was 10/10. My son and I were very impressed with the service and food. We Will be dropping by again. Thank you!“
“The food is great, and they have several interesting dishes on the menu that I haven't seen at other Mediterranean places. The ambiance is pretty nice, too (it used to be super brightly lit, but they’ve since fixed that and placed small lamps on each table, which makes for a super cozy vibe)“
“We visited this place on a rainy Saturday evening and we were the only customers. We ordered Vegetarian Skewers with Pesto Sauce and Vegetarian Combo Plate.The skewers were small in portion size and it didn't come with the pesto sauce. Not the best skewers we have had but manageable.The Vegetarian Combo Plate had small portion too except the romaine lettuce. The food was fresh but we have had better falafels than these. The hummus and babagonush were tasty but had some sort of funny smell(probably from cooked meats in same kitchen).We wished portion size was bigger but may be it's because of inflation.We also had Baklava which was very sweet and all we could taste was sweet syrup.We would not order it again.This place is good for quick bites.“
“Had dinner here for the first time with a friend who suggested the place...the reception by the hostess was good, the place was pleasant and had a warm atmosphere. Equally good was the food. The gin and tonic I ordered at the bar tasted more like tonic than gin.“
“Delicious food, smart presentation, good wine list. They understand proper sear on salmon.Every dish has rich flavors and textures. Really well done, so there's a lot to talk about. Many people come here on dates and it's a great place for that.The squash dessert is amazing -- not savory but not too sweet and with a lot of complexity.To top it off, the staff is friendly and the service attentive without hovering. It's the best kind of "feeling at home" -- that's hospitality.Vegetarian options: If it doesn't say it has meat, it doesn't. The Turlu is amazing, and there's a very large and diverse veg app platter.“
“This place deserve few Michelin stars ?The steak was amazing. Kudos to the chef.Don't forget to order lamb shank. It's great.Parking is paid off street and may struggle to find one. It's right in the Redwood City downtown. Ambience is good. Not a lot of seating so do call and reserve a table. Everything is made in-house. Bloody amazing taste. Definitely recommend for Fine dining.“
“The wait staff is very attentive to ur needs as a customer & efficient the dish prices are what expect in SV but well worth it all food was fresh tasted top notch???.

“Wow!! Super delicious!! Went with a group of 6 friends and everyone loved the the food!! Lots of fantastic vegetarian options. I ordered the Mjadra and we shared the Fattoush salad, tabouleh, and pickles. My friends also got the veggie combo and falafel wrap.I had a different salad which came with my mjadra and both that salad and the Fattoush salad had crazy yummy dressing. I loved them so much I asked if they sold the dressing separately to go and she said they didn't but she gave me a generous portion of each to take home with me...no charge!!“
“I was recommended to try a Mediterranean restaurant of a very similar name. Did not read carefully and ended up here. Was not disappointed at all. Friendly and quick service. Delicious food, good portions. We tried the dolmas, chicken gyro and lamb and beef gyro. Clean and bright space. Mother gave an A+ for clean bathroom. Worth a save for repeat visit!“
“My husband and I ordered Cigarette pastry for starters and Mediterranean combo for main course. It was filling for the two of us. And the service was very good too. We will be visiting again.Parking: We parked in front of the Burlingame High School and walked to the restaurant.“
“Pretty good food but plates are pretty expensive for what seems like a fast casual dining place. Paid >90 dollars for 4 plates although the plates are generous and I could have probably ordered 3. Atmosphere is alright but not commensurate with the bill, better to eat these plates at home. Polite staff.“
“Great food! Ordered at the counter and sat for dinner. My mom enjoyed her chicken and salad. I really liked my tortellini with chicken. Foccida bread was good! Felt compelled to order a pizza to go after seeing how they were making it so fresh. SO glad we did. Marg Pizza was so good!“
“Very delicious, one of the best hummus I have ever eaten, so soft and fresh, I would only recommend photos on the menu to better understand how the dishes are served.Very delicious, one of the best hummus I have ever eaten, so soft and fresh, I would only recommend photos on the menu to better understand how the dishes are served.“
“Love this place! Its casual, not fancy, and the food is delicious. We had kebabs, lentil soup, falafel and rice pudding. The portions are large and the service is great, too. My mom uses a wheelchair, and they have tables that accommodate wheelchairs. Great place for lunch or dinner.“
“I had the salmon wrap and it had salmon in almost every bite. Loaded with veggies and came with a small side salad. The dressing on the salad was so good I asked for more to put on my wrap. I will drive 20 min just for this wrap so please don’t change a thing. The manager was super nice. Thanks for a great meal!“
“Just had lunch here. First of all, very clean, good service; it looks like a family-owned business, which I appreciate. Food-wise, I had a chicken souvlaki, and my friend had a gyro platter; we both loved our meals. Definitely going back--highly recommended!“
“We catered a meal for 100 people for a big event this past weekend, and I worked with Ashvee to make this happen. First of all, she was wonderful and super helpful. The food was ready on time, huge portions and the meal was amazing. The chicken shawarma was excellent!! We had so many people compliment the food. The falafel was delicious and the sauces (Tzatziki, Lemony Tahini Sauce and Spicy Sauce) were so good. I don't even live in PA but I am definitely making the drive down to get more of it. Thank you Ashvee and RMK - great job! Can't wait to come back.“
“The zaalouk and the lamb kabab were perfect.Perfect cook. Perfect seasoning.Perfect sauces to accompany my dishes.This hole in the wall is easy to miss.It is in a kind of back parking lot off of the main shopping area.
