This place is incredible. Best Middle Eastern food I have had east of Turkey. Keep up the great work and we can't wait for you to open in your new location!
I went in December of 2022 and LOVED IT! My friend and I ordered a few items and shared. The service was great and food outstanding. I’m eagerly awaiting the reopening so I can go again!

I ate here back in the summer with my mom who was visiting and we thought to check it out since it had received good reviews for authenticity and quality but were sadly mistaken. While some dishes are interesting like the Mezze plate which we shared, overall I found it overpriced and the staff rude. Recommend avoiding. There are other middle eastern restaurants in the area that have more affordable options for the same if not better quality.

Way overpriced for what you get. My friend and I went for a brunch. $16 for two eggs??? Unreal. Service was rude, wait time long. The food tasted bland. An insult to real middle eastern cuisine. Recommend avoiding. Try Zaytoon or Chez Mansour. This place simply isn't worth it.

This Palestinian Californian restaurant is a Jewish, Christian, and Muslim friendly establishment that serves amazing and beautifully curated food, all the while by being a part of the community. The owner and their staff are always friendly and the food is oh so delicious. My favorites are the knafeh pancake and mezze platter, but that crispy chicken sandwich also has a special place in my heart!This establishment has been CLOSED for a few months now for relocation, but please continue supporting local Palestinian restaurants.

The restaurant is closed. but I've been there before and did not care for the service or the overpriced food.Then heard they were not welcoming me and my people. So this 1 star is my honest opinion. Go serve food in Palestine where woman rights and LGBTQ rights don't exist. Good luck.

From the ambiance, to the friendly staff and owner, allllll the way to the menu, this place is a must! Although they HAVE been closed for a few months because of their future move, I constantly crave their unique flavors of Middle Eastern + California fused together.They caught my attention at first solely with the Knafeh pancake...WHAT? Cheesy goodness in a pancake? If you've never had Knafeh, it's a sweet cheese covered in shredded phyllo dough and then DROWNED in a beautiful, sweet orange blossom sauce. Now put that in a pancake. MIND. BLOWN.Not only is the food as beautiful as it looks but it really is that damn good.Again.....they are currently closed and have been closed for a couple months.I CANT WAIT for them to open in their brand new location, ready to show us what all that they've been cooking up so they can continue to blow our minds away!

Bad service, bad food, bad ambiance and bad vibes. I'd suggest passing on this place.

MAKE A RESERVATION HERE! It's a little small so walk-ins are harder to get seated. Came here for brunch with the gorls and felt my soul leave my body it was such a nice experience. The murals and the plants were hella cute and the service was amazing. We ordered the mezze brunch for everyone and it was the perfect amount of food. Definitely made with love. I'm still thinking about that muhammara

The best anti semitic food in the east bay !!If you are looking for really yummy food and an anti Zionist establishment you have found the perfect spot. The food is delicious and the mission against Zionist and Israel is so crazy. (And ridiculous!!)I love that they publicly put in their Instagram. #zionistsnitwelcomeSo welcome my friends to a place that publicly does not welcome zionists or pro Israel. What's next!??Muslim, black, LGBTQ not welcome???
The food and atmosphere at Lulu’s are awesome. I have eaten (dine in and take out) at Lulu’s multiple time and even came here with family for a very special birthday brunch. All of the food and drinks were delicious, but some especially memorable items were the hummus with lamb, ALL of the breads, the knafeh pancake, and the lemon orange blossom spritz. The photo is one of the mezze brunches we got for my birthday. Can’t wait to check out the Solano Ave location!

Fantastic spot for brunch and lunch. Gorgeous spread of all your favorite dips and breads and one of my favorite places to take friends to dive in and share everything. Photos don’t do it justice, it’s even more delectable in person if you can believe it! Service is friendly and knowledgeable and the owner is warm and welcoming. Will go here over and over again.
Great food, nice cozy place.Service is good, too.Have been there several times, and we'll be back

Paid a visit to Lulu's and was pleasantly surprised by our stroke of luck - we got seated immediately! If you're considering a visit, I'd highly recommend making reservations; walk-ins seem to be a game of chance. The culinary experience was nothing short of spectacular. It's evident that they pour love and attention into every dish. The flavors were rich, and the dishes were an explosion of tasteful delight. We ordered fried chicken sandro, crispy french fries, and a refreshing bowl salad. Each bite was better than the last. It was an experience worth repeating, and we will definitely be back.

Such a cute little spot with prettiest food decorations! They are reservation only so make sure to make reservations in advance. Bigger your group is, harder it is to reserve.We had their dip platter and it served more than enough food for everyone. I loved how pretty it all came out.I went mostly to try Knafeh (middle eastern cheese dessert that I really love) but it was a bit different from what I tried in the middle east. It's more bready and pancakey. Still pretty good though!Street parking only but we didn't have trouble finding spots.
