“Hidden gem for new parents. This place is awesome for lunch. They have a few dishes eat day and they change it up frequently. I’ve never gone and not wanted what I’ve seen - and I’m picky.

Great place to meet up on maternity leave.“

“Drove up from San Jose to meet with out of state family and this was recommended. Beautiful atmosphere, fantastic service, and decent pricing. Many great, delicious choices and all with good size portions.
You can eat outdoors or inside comfortably.
Other restaurant owners should send a couple of spies over to observe and understand why a great and friendly restaurant such as Zut! Is always busy with happy customers.
Parking can be an issue on weekends due to that Berkeley area being so popular, but
go for it.“

“Delicious kabab plates with a lovely showcase of desserts. The food is fresh, reasonably priced, and their lamb is well worth it.

They don't have much seating space (2 2-person tables) and a restroom that's well-maintained.

All the meals are served in to go containers with fast preparation!“

“The shawarma was pretty good, but one thing I hated was the spice. I asked for mild but it was incredibly hot, i had to drink a sip of my drink with every bite because of how hot it was. Besides that it was nice. A little pricey but definitely a good spot to go to.“

“My wife and I came out from the Concord area to beat the inland heat and spend the day in Berkeley. We got hungry and decided to stop in here for lunch. The food was delicious!! I’m sad the fact the only picture I took I shared to my Instagram stories and don’t have a picture of my plate. But I had the beef kabob plate with, rice, salad, naan, and hummus. The beef was very tasty and tender. The rice was perfectly cooked and salad was fresh and crispy. My wife had the chicken kabob plate, which came with rice, salad, naan, hummus. The food portions were great and the price is amazing, and the staff is really friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere to enjoy lunch. I’ll definitely be taking the drive from Concord again here in the near future. As this place is a winner every time.“

“UPDATE-THEY JUST ADDED THEMSELVES TO DOORDASH AND THEY HAVE SOME GOOD NEW ITEMS ON DOORDASH AT A GOOD PRICE!

Have been going to this restaurant for over 20 years... The man who operates it took it over from his daughter and son-in-law... It used to be called Misha's Gyros ... I went in recently and I didn't quite recognize the guy with his hat ?... He was related to the people I saw BEFORE, I knew THAT -but I wasn't sure if it was a relative of theirs/or the same Guy -because it has been so many years! I saw him before the pandemic...

It turns out it's the same man and he maintains and operates his restaurant dutifully and faithfully after all these years!

THE FOOD WAS SO FILLING THAT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FALL ASLEEP! INCREDIBLE SPICE /INCREDIBLE FLAVOR TO THE CHICKEN GYROS... I WAS FEELING SO LETHARGIC I WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER I COULD GET TO MY CAR IN THE PARKING GARAGE AND DRIVE HOME 8 MI AWAY SAFELY!

AN HOUR LATER I WAS IN BED AND I REALIZED IT WAS THE LONGEST HOUR... BECAUSE OF ALL THE CALORIES AND NUTRITION IT WAS AS IF TIME EXPANDED ITSELF AND LASTED LONGER!

I highly recommend this simple and humble restaurant... And I hope they are available on DOORDASH ?...:⁠-⁠)

And I hope all is well with the owners daughter etc...I think we were in the same years /class at UC Berkeley!“

“This has needed an update for years and let's begin. 6/10/2025
Recently I've took my sister here as we're both trying to avoid foods cooked with a lot of oil like Chinese food. She's a chef and has been in the business for over 40 years and spent the last 6 years as a chef and was managing food trucks in North Carolina. A long distance from her Napa gourmet restaurant roots. Tonight she ordered the lamb souvlaki. I ordered a small chicken shawarma wrap and lentil soup. The chicken shawarma was perfect. Just be warned, it is with pita bread so it's a bit messy of a handheld eat. But what the heck. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked as it was quite tender. Nicely caramelized onions inside. Loved the lentil soup. It had a nice helping of lentils, not just a few little bits floating around as you see in some places.
Which now brings me to the lamb souvlaki. Now my doctor insists that I don't eat too much meat and I totally agree. However, I could have eaten this for a week. It was some of the best lamb I have tasted in years, maybe over 20 years. Tasted fresh, it was perfectly tender, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not over salted, thank God which is something a lot of restaurants do with meat, especially grilled meat or meat. kebobs.
My sister was very impressed and pretty much polished off the whole thing.
She noted that there were no salt and pepper shakers which she totally appreciated because it meant that the cook knew exactly what he or she was doing. I did take that last bit of her grilled zucchini, which in itself was quite delicious.

This was the second time I took her.
Last time I had the falafel shawarma wrap and I recommend that as well. I got the large one and it was quite substantial.
Sister may have had the chicken souvlaki I don't remember.
Just noted down below that I did my first review 6 years ago. I have since returned multiple times quite often bringing family because it's not too crowded, the food is really good and the prices are very reasonable. They do a reasonable amount of takeout which is probably why there aren't as many occupied tables as before.

6 yrs ago
Nice greek food, but the french fries. OMG.... sorry short on details as this was a month or two ago. Will return.“

“Mudraker's Cafe offers good food and coffee in a spacious, quiet environment. Owner Hazim offers friendly, personalized service and is always up for a chat with customers.

Hazim is so remarkably kind and attentive to customers that I must suspect his critics of un-cafe-like behavior that required his attention!

Drip coffee is well made and there is a full range of teas available. There are muffins and croissants and bagels for small meals. For more substantial meals, excellent salads and sandwiches are listed in the menu behind the counter.

Two outside tables get morning and afternoon sun on Telegraph Avenue. Inside seating includes a large back room where more serious students and remote workers tend to gather, as well as a German language class. The large couch in the front is comfortable seating for intimate couples and groups.

In an era dominated by cookie-cutter corporate coffee outlets, Mudraker's stands out for its originality and home-like atmosphere.“
