A little late to leaving my review but went to Lotus a couple months ago and was impressed by their food.

The chicken shawarma is tasty with well seasoned meat, a good amount of toom, and the right amount of pickles. The burger was cooked perfectly and the fries were crispy and seasoned. The side of falafel was also perfectly cooked and was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

All in all impressed and will be back the next time I’m in town.

Vegetarian options: Falafel, grape leaves, hummus

I've been going to the one in San Bruno for a while. I'm so happy they've opened another location! The staff here in Burlingame are super friendly.

I got the chicken kabob plate and it was delicious! I will say one of the pieces of chicken was raw but all the other ones were cooked to perfect. The flavors take me back home to my aunts house. The brown rice was IMO the star of the show. The hummus you can tell they make from scratch.

Delicious the best hummus.. tender and moist chichen.

Authentic, and taste exactly how Shawerma should taste! I had six pieces of falafel as well, crispy from outside and juicy from the inside, also exactly as it should taste. The staff was friendly, and helpful. I’m in love with this place.

Wow, this was an incredibly underwhelming experience. It makes me wonder whether the positive reviews have ever had good Mediterranean food. The atmosphere was noisy and the space was not designed very well. The tables were not especially clean and the service not friendly. The hummus was not very good, the falafel mushy and poorly cooked with little seasoning, the rest of the ingredients like lettuce low quality, and the baklava one note and not very fresh. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it and don’t plan to go back. Try Oren’s or Rock’n kebabs if you want good hummus and falafel on the Peninsula.
