“We only had three items but they were very good. The Gyros Wrap and the Gyros Platter. Both extremely yummy. Great texture in the wrap. Loved it. The harmon fries were spectacular! Really garlicky. And the texture was perfect. Awesome crispness. A little on the pricey side overall but a nice treat.“
“It's by Gypsy's and Kingpin Donuts, as Google Maps kinda hides this gem.Hella good Mediterranean late spot in the Berkeley 'ghetto'! Made quick, but it ain't fast food, with the meat cooked proper, the right proportion of veggies, hummus, falafel, and sauce. The right amount of spice, both herbal and hot, the amount to where I taste everything without being hot bombed.How I did this order was getting a veggie wrap, added lamb and white sauce, so that's cucumber, lettuce, tomato, onion, herbs, falafel, hummus, tahini, peppers, feta in a wrap It's the right move too. Made with that authentic Middle East love and care. This and Gypsy's are my favorite spots in Durant Ave ghetto, which is the best spot for late food in the Bay.“
“I've been meaning to leave these guys a review for a while. Oasis grill is terrific. It is my favorite go-to spot for falafel in Berkeley. The food is delicious, the folks who work there are super friendly, and the restaurant is always very very clean, which speaks to their level of quality.“
“This is the best Greek restaurant out of Greece we have been to! Everything was amazing - the octopus and grill fish are must try! Great wine too. We had Stephanie for our waitress and she was the kindest person we have fall into , was really awesome talking to her during our dinner ? Reservation is a must!“
“We used to eat dinner here on our way to Davies Symphony Hall 15 years ago. We moved away and just came back this week for a mini vacation. We took a chance today and it was as delicious as ever. We had the chicken kebab plate and the lamb kebab plate and 2 cans of soda for $48. What a bargain. The food is fresh, healthy and plentiful. The flavors are wonderful and the service is very good. It’s clean and neat inside—truly a little gem.“
“This place is awesome and hidden away! We never noticed it. I almost don't want to say too much about it because then it'll get full of people and we won't be able to get a table! The server was super nice, the coffee was great. the food was spectacular and free baklava came with our bill! Really best Levabese food I've had in a while. yum.“
“I don't know why it took us so long to get dinner here but I'm glad we finally did. The food was delicious and service was warm. Ala Med is a Turkish restaurant but given the broader mediterranean influence, I think people will find a lot of familiar items here.Our table ordered various items:Istanbul trio: Both hummus and haydari were good but I loved the muhammara - this version gave equal importance to both the walnuts and the red peppers and was well balanced with a slight kick from some chili. Eggplant salad: so good, well seasoned, and refreshingManti: meat dumpling with yogurt and tomato sauce- everyone loved itImam fainted: vegetarian eggplant dish - flavorful, easy to eatButcher Kofte: I really liked the seasoning of the meat but didn't love the texture as the meat seemed to be really finely ground but that is a personal preference. I did enjoy the rice and chickpea salad it came with.For dessert there was rice pudding(good) and baklava(average). I liked that everyone got a small cup of tea to finish off the meal.“
“Despite major ongoing renovations, this trusty local spot delivered. “Best steak I've ever had” sez our teen diner. Food, folks, all great even though bar is temporarily upstairs and dining downstairs. Can't wait to return when all done.“
“Went to next door coffee shop for a quick chat with a friend, but it was packed. Decided to come here for lunch. It was a very nice surprise. Great food, great menu choice and very pleasant stop. Thank you.Parking: back of building has free 2 hour parking“
“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!!“
“Living in the Sierra foothills, I don't get much opportunity for Mediterranean food so was craving it this SF evening. When I walked into NB Gyros, I smelled that unmistakable but unfortettable aroma of grilled meat so I ordered their grill sampler. I also ordered an appetizer of baba ganoush and a cold Stella Artois.The baba ganoush arrived quickly and I devoured it. I'm no expert but this was so delicious and I wanted more. Next, the grilled sampler came and I was amazed at how much food was included. There were two varieties of chicken, beef, kofte, and lamb, rice, salad and pita. All the meats were flavorful and had that delicious char I was looking for. The chicken was a little overcooked and dry but still delicious. I couldn't finish this big platter so was offered a take-away box, which I gladly accepted.I know I'll return because the service was fast and friendly, the atmosphere was open and welcoming and the food was delicious!“
“March 2023: This gem of a place is still here, post pandemic (if there is such a thing), and their service and food is top notch! Please drop by and show some love, chicken salad comes with a lot of protein and is fairly priced for the area.Old review: I had a hunkering for Mediterranean-style cooked meat and fries. This place hit that spot.Located in FIDI on Battery (between Pine and Battery/Bush intersection). Went at noon and the place was busy but not overwhelmingly so. Slight wait for my food after ordering but that's expected at noon.Food was good and reasonably priced. Ordered the Greek plate with chicken. Came with a bunch of fries, meat, a big dollop of tzhiki (sp?) sauce and some pita bread. It was good.I'll be back to try a salad next time. 3.6 stars that rounds up to 4 stars for the service.“
“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.“
“Used to go here every 1-2 months when I worked nearby. Always got the lunch special with the free soda. I preferred the chicken shawarma and fries (sometimes a salad). I miss this place so much (no longer live in Cali) but will go again next time I visit.“
“Well , to start off I do believe I was the first of the day, so you guys really need to clean the grill a lot better !!! the meat tastes burnt!!! other than that the flavors were there , the pickle the lettuce, yogurt sauce, the dill. The pitas were perfect 10 outta 10 . WAYY SMALL PORTIONS!!! S SIGN OF THE TIMES I GUESS...“
“Came for a quick weekday lunch. I ordered the lamb and beef gyro plate (came with white and hot sauce) and baklava the size of your thumb. Good portions and prices are reasonable as you would expect eating in FiDi. Meat is seasoned well. Pilaf rice is bland but cooked properly.“
“This place is beautiful. We were at the Midway day Trance party and felt hungry. We were particularly looking forward to tasty warm fries.That what we exactly got, loved it. As well as the place is full of light, has authentic decoration and modern.Absolutely would love to eat here again and would recommend it to you.“
“WOWW..... omgggg !!! This is seriously the BEST GREEK FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD beats nick the Greek by far. I accidentally stumbled upon this place nestled in San Francisco and I'm so happy I stopped here. I'm really extremely picky anyone that knows me and have severe food allergies so a lot of times food is so disappointing to me but ... YOU HAVE TO COME HERE! You will not be disappointed“
“A standard diner atmostphere- very clean, though not immaculate and that is probably because they hadn't had much of a chance to clean up from some previous customers- I was not bothered. I give three stars for atmosphere because it is an average sort of diner experience- but also I wasn't looking for anything too fancy- it is partly why I came. The staff is very friendly and accomdating- great service, and fast. I had the gyro with fries and the food was excellent! The gyro did not come with fries- they are ordered seperate and the drinks are cans and bottles from a large glass refrigerator. The order of fries cost about $5 and is seemingly a little small for that price- but they are very good- so I was not displeased. They are served in a cardbaord box- which is the perfect way for them to travel, allowing them to breathe and not become soggy from steam- and that is expert packaging, for fries- I know this. They are thin-style and slightly crispy- perfectly cooked. The gyro was large and more of a wrap style than 'taco' style- which made it less messy to eat than from other places I get gyros from- it is also expertly wrapped in tin foil. The hot sauce they gave me was *very spicy- I liked it very much. I came here because it was the closest place to where I was staying and I was exhausted and my feet hurt really bad, and I discovered my hotel did not have room service. Took the food back to my room and was very pleased with my meal- ended a stressful day with a smile. I will return here when I am in the area, again.“
“Jayna offers an array of Mediterranean eats, similar to what you'd find at Nick the Greek. However, the food is 10x better! Not too salty, the Beef and Lamb gyro was extremely savory with flavor, it did not feel like the food was from the freezer. Got the combo and was MORE than enough food for a late lunch early dinner. May not need to eat later and if i do, I'll have leftovers. Definitely check them out if you want a more flavorful, fast-ish Mediterrean food experience.Huge shout out to Ali for his great service and welcoming smile!“
“Detroit style pizza is great. They make amazing cheese. During baking, the cheese melts completely into the pizza, and then it becomes chewy and delicious. For those who haven't tried it, don't hesitate and definitely try it. This is very excellent.“
“I love this tiny delicious place. I found it when I attended the San Francisco Paramedic Association that used to be on Mission. The gyros and fries are amazing. I dont get to the city often as of late but Im so glad Ayola survived through the pandemic. So good!“
“We ate here for dinner and the food was very good. The restaurant is small and cozy, and the seating was comfortable. We had the falafel plate and the Alexander's favorite house special. Both plates were filling and we left happy. They have complementary tea and water.“
