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.

Considering the abundance of restaurants on Center Street, I think this is the greatest spot to eat. The cuisine is prepared quickly and isn't overly sweet or salty, which is the main factor. I wish there was more room for tables and less proximity between them in the restaurant.

The food was good and quick with large portions. Service was friendly and professional, far better than I expected to be honest.
It was my first time trying middle east asian food. I can’t recall what I had 8 months ago but it was awesome. And their french fries are so good!!

If you are new to town like me, I wouldn't recommend this place. Price is expensive and quality is low. Go Cal Gyro or Turkish food instead. Their food is better than here and much affordable.

Food is decent but very overpriced. 13.50$ for a “petite” wrap which was tiny, like a kid’s

Mediocre food and overpriced. I really only come here when I want Mediterranean because it's convenient. I don't like the way they season the chicken shawarma so I only order lamb. But I still am often disappointed by the just-ok dishes. However, the falafel is good.

Maybe I came at a bad time, but the fries tasted old and soggy which is something I've never experienced before, even at a fast food restaurant. At least the falafel was made fresh. The cashier was friendly, no complaints about the
Craving Mediterranean food, and this was right downtown and nearby the Berkeley campus! There's both indoor and outdoor seating, although it's very limited. They also have a bathroom, which is always a plus downtown. We ordered a chicken shawarma petite wrap along with a petite chicken mediterranean melt. Petite = 1/2 a lavash. When we ordered, we were asked our spice preference- we went with light spice. The chicken was cooked fresh right in front of us, and the wraps were grilled over the fire. Overall SO flavorful, I loved the tahini in the chicken shawarma wrap. The veggies in both were very fresh. I wish there was more mozzarella in the melt though, I couldn't taste it. They was $11 each and our total came out to be around $25. I'm kicking myself for not ordering a regular sized wrap and asking them to cut it in half, effectively being the same quantity. Ah well! Fun to try different options.

The taste is too distinctive, not fit for me. The picture does not come along with the food and the products are a bit overpriced. The fries are fresh and crispy though.

I ordered the spicy chicken shawarma wrap and it was DELICIOUS. I used to come here around 8 years ago in high school and it’s even better than I remember. Quite literally the best shawarma I’ve ever had.

Petite chicken shawarma was delicious, generous and priced decent. Service was friendly. Restaurant was clean and cozy. Hummus was creamy and flavorful. Lavash was perfect and hot.

This was my favorite place to grab a wrap throughout all of undergrad, and I was so pleased to see they've expanded to (or maybe were always in) SF! My favorite is the vegan delux wrap--their falafel is delicious!
