The dishes carried depth without trying to impress. Every bite felt layered with care, especially the rice and slow-cooked meats. It’s not just food, it’s a calm experience that stays with you after you leave.“

“I cannot express enough how much I adore Falafel Fusion in Rancho Cordova--it's truly the gem of Mediterranean cuisine in the Sacramento area! From the moment you step in, the inviting atmosphere and the friendly staff make you feel right at home. Inayat, the manager, is an absolute star! His passion for delivering an exceptional dining experience shines through, making each visit memorable. Conveniently located next to the I-50 exit with ample parking, Falafel Fusion is easily accessible, adding to its charm. Now, let's talk about the falafel platter--an absolute masterpiece! The combination of pita, falafels, basmati rice, house salad, and that secret house sauce is nothing short of divine. The pita was incredibly soft, the falafels crispy with a delightful cilantro flavor. Each bite was a burst of taste explosions, and the falafels literally melted in my mouth. The spice levels were spot-on, providing a perfect balance of flavors. The hummus, a heavenly side, complemented the falafels and basmati rice flawlessly. Speaking of the rice, it was not just any rice--it was a flavorful journey on its own. The house salad, fresh and vibrant, added a delightful crunch to the meal. Now, let's talk about that secret house sauce--it's an absolute game-changer! I've never tasted anything so good. It elevates the entire dining experience to a whole new level. Kudos to the brilliant minds behind this secret concoction! And the cleanliness! The spotless bathrooms reflect the commitment to maintaining a hygienic environment. Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food you receive. In conclusion, Falafel Fusion is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic and mouthwatering Mediterranean cuisine. Support this amazing local business; you won't be disappointed! Thank you, Falafel Fusion, for consistently delivering an unforgettable dining experience.“

“The owner is a friend of mine and having been to Afghanistan I can assure that the food is authentic, delicious and the atmosphere very hospitable.“

“This place is sooo yummy! I ordered the falafel wrap and I dare say it’s the best I’ve had. Creamy and ordered with medium spice which was perfect. Incredible flavor and the wrap was fried to perfection. Cute decor, quiet, lowkey. Not too fancy, not too casual. Perfect for a nice little lunch. More people need to go here!“

Whoever was working tonight (possibly the owner?), thank you! We'll be back. 💯🔥😊“

“Food was great! I got the Top Loaded Mac & Cheese and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were amazing and everything tasted fresh. YOUSIF was one of the nicest people I’ve met — very friendly, polite, and welcoming. He made the whole experience even better with his great attitude and excellent customer service it makes me come back. Definitely recommend this place and I’ll for sure be coming back!“

I would recomend 100%“

“this place is fire, friendly staff great experence.“

“My friends saw some IG promos of this place and we decided to check it out.
Decent location off of Folsom Blvd/65th, tiny parking lot but plenty of street parking.
We dined as, as we often do when grabbing pizza for dinner. We arrived at 6pm and were the only ones there. Don't mind, whole place to ourselves. When we walked in, the two staff members were sitting in the dining area to see us arrive and promptly assisted us with our order. First order was a half chicken tikka and half Italian garlic combo. Second order was half tandoori chicken and also half Italian combo.
While we waited for our food, we checked out the decor and it's a nice spot with lots of seating and 3 large TVS.
Wall of tap beer for you to choose from and I really like the Bollywood movie quotes on the front wall. Saw one of my fav quotes up there too! One of the TVs was playing a movie and the other had on music videos. We heard neither. It was dead silent in there, which was a downer. Was hoping for some lively music.
Food was BUSSIN! The tandoori chicken pizza was a 10/10! Masala ranch is hella good. Chicken tikka, which is normally my fav at other Indian pizza spots was maybe a 6/10. I give the Italian garlic combo a solid 5.
We will definitely be back. But maybe next time we will come later at night. This place had a sign out front that they are open from 10AM - 6AM!! Wild. I can definitely see this place being popular with the late night college crowa.“

“My dad has been a customer since the mid 90’s when they opened. We’ve been going there for years. Though we weren’t aware of how things would change with the new ownership, The food has always been good and the environment has always been great. We have always experienced great customer service after learning about the new ownership.
Was a little skeptical about the change of ownership, but after trying this place out we can guarantee that the taste has not changed one bit. The place is super clean. We will continue to be customers!“

“This location has the best fried chicken in the area. The food is always fresh and hot and crispy. Sometimes they run daily specials. As I’ve heard the staff say before “ we have whole foods quality with Walmart prices” this location really does have the lowest pricing. You can’t get a Freshly made chicken sandwich for 4.99 anywhere else.“

“Chicken plate was really good. Husband said it's the best rice he's ever had. My beef and lamb gyro was amazing!! Baklava was TOP NOTCH! We look forward to eating here many times again.“

“Cute little place! Fresh and delicious 🤤“

“My wife and I decided to give this restaurant a try instead of going to our usual eatery. To say that we were positively surprised by the quality of food (taste and the way it was cooked) and the vibrant atmosphere of this Uzbek restaurant is to say nothing. My wife is into Middle-Eastern food as she lived there for 30 years and she knows all about it. At the end of our meal in Caravan, she said that it was the best restaurant so far for that kind of food. I may not be that specific, but I definitely liked it a lot. We are already planning to come back to this place again and to bring our friends here, too. The only drawback was that the place is so much popular that sometimes you would need to wait for quite a while. So, if you are planning to go there, try to chose not crowded times (if you can)“

“delicious food and good customer service“

“Afghan Ice Cream & Grill is one of the only places I found everything fairly good. Here I had the traditional and athletic Qabli Palaw in which lamb and rice are simmered together which gives it the true flavor of Qabli, which is hard to find. The price was fair and a service with humility. Even though it’s a small place but the evening summer breeze on the patio made everything more pleasant.“

“Beef curry, polaw, Bangladeshi dishes is sooo good� I really enjoyed it �“

“My fave afghan ice cream (sheer yakh) in Sacramento!

side note, they catered my brothers wedding and it was SUCH a hit. They were the star of the show and our guests went back for seconds, thirds, and even fourths. We love them!!“

“The service was great and the food was amazing, I had the chicken shawarma. Just the one thing I recommend is that they get some type of shade over the chairs and table. The days are getting hotter and I would like to enjoy my meal on a shaded table, I will definitely be back, the food was that good.“

“Great new Mediterranean restaurant on Stockton Boulevard! Best hummus!! Gyros will bring a smile. All the right stuff including falafel and housemate samosas. Welcome to the neighborhood!“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting NY Gyros & Philly's in Sacramento, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. Located conveniently in the College Green area with ample parking, this local small business captured my heart with its exceptional service and delicious food. Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted warmly by Ahmeed, the incredible manager. His friendly demeanor and genuine enthusiasm made me feel right at home. It's evident that Ahmeed has been impeccably trained, likely drawing from the success of his parents' thriving establishment in NY. His dedication to customer satisfaction is truly commendable.

The attention to detail in maintaining a clean and inviting atmosphere was truly impressive. As a customer, it's always reassuring to dine in a place where cleanliness is a priority.

This dedication to inclusivity further adds to the overall appeal of the restaurant. The authentic taste of the food was truly remarkable. Each bite was bursting with flavors that transported me to the streets of New York. And their homemade red sauce was simply divine – a perfect accompaniment to their dishes. I'm thrilled to see NY Gyros & Philly's expanding and I am genuinely excited for their success. It's heartwarming to witness a local small business thrive while staying true to its roots. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and exploring more of their enticing menu.

The customer service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s clear they care about their customers and take pride in the food they serve.

I highly recommend Rays Chicken and Fish to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

They have great specials on rice bowls, they're buy 1 get 1, that ends up being a super cheap meal for 2.“

🔥 Carolina Reaper

Scoville Heat Units (SHU) Notes
Carolina Reaper 1,641,183 – 2,200,000+ SHU

Was told only 1 or 2 persons try it out each month
Guess my name entered into their record books.
It’s the hottest burger I’ve ever had. Had the fountain coke coming in to cool me down.
But in the end accomplished the “been there done that.”
Very clean ambience and professionally run. Must try them out to become one of the regulars.“

“Ong, they're pretty respectful and social. I spent 4 years eating here. I like the food. I always get the Chicken Platter and lately I've been hearing people getting their fries. I left a tip on the Wednesday of finals, and boom. I got to try a small tray of fries for free along with my food. Ong they didn't have to do that but the fries were PRETTY GOOD. ngl.

Anyways, yeah. Been coming here my whole 4-5 years at school. Love the food. Love the Staff. Hopefully one day I'll come back! Literally my favorite spot here!

My god tho, I wish I ordered the fries long ago. I only got to eat them at the Wednesday of finals lmao.“

“Afghan Fiji Halal Market is one of my favorite places for authentic Afghan food and groceries. The store is clean, well-stocked, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Their food is absolutely delicious—the kababs are flavorful, perfectly cooked, and some of the best I’ve had. The Qabuli Palaw is outstanding, with tender meat, perfectly seasoned rice, and just the right amount of sweetness from the raisins and carrots. The Chapati Naan is the best—always fresh, soft, and full of authentic flavor. They also serve what I consider some of the best pizza in town—fresh, tasty, and always satisfying.

What really sets this place apart is the value. Their prices are very reasonable compared to other markets, and the quality of both the food and groceries is excellent. Everything tastes fresh and homemade, and you get great portions for the price. Highly recommend stopping by for both their groceries and their amazing food!“

“Great food , fair price …“

“Love the lunch combo!All the dishes are cooked to perfection!Awesome service!“

“Khyber Market is awesome! Great prices. The store is very clean and well organized. Nice people, nice place. Definitely recommend.“

“My wife and I basically had the place to ourselves when we visited. The person working their made our food fresh and it was delicious, comparable to places like Halal Guys. The person working there was even playing the piano in the restaurant, he asked us if it was okay if he played. We will definitely back again.“
