“The food and service was very good. Sweaty and the crew are great. Ordered Bademjan and Falafel for appetizers. For our entrees we had Rack of lamb and Mansaf. The portions are very generous. To end the meal we had Baklava M'hallabiah with Turkish coffee.“

“Excellent middle Eastern food. The Mediterranean salad is exceptional. The shwarma is delicious as are the desserts. Very casual dining. Order at the counter and food is brought to the table. While waiting for food they bring tea to the table. A very nice touch.“

“I absolutely love Istanbul Kitchen! The food is always fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. I work nearby, so I come here 3–4 times a week, and I’m never disappointed. The lamb kebab and beef kebab are both amazing. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious. Great food, friendly service, and definitely one of my favorite places to eat!“

“This is a great place. Love the food. I wanted to leave a review because I made a mistake on my order (totally on me) and when I showed up at this store, Nayeli helped me out right away and fixed it even though it was my fault. Thanks very much!“

“I ordered a Small Family Pack and a Large Family Pack over the phone today, and the food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and well prepared! I was really happy with my order.

The lady cashier who took my order was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful. She even reminded me that I could get 20% off my order, which I had no idea about. When I arrived, she made sure I received the discount. She could have easily not mentioned it, so I really appreciated her honesty and how much she cared about the customer.

I also noticed how clean and hardworking she was. She was quick with everything, and when she wasn’t busy with customers, I even saw her helping her team on the line. You don’t see that kind of teamwork everywhere!

Great food, excellent service, and a really hardworking team. I’m very happy with my experience and will definitely be coming back!“

“We had dinner here last night and truly enjoyed the whole experience. The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. What made our visit even better was the excellent service — everyone was so kind, welcoming, and attentive. The staff made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. It is not easy to find a place with both great food and such warm hospitality. We will definitely come back again. Highly recommended

“Decent Mediterranean spot in Montclair for a quick bite. They have some seating inside. I got a Philly and falafel for about $25. Portions are huge and took me a meal and a half to finish. No toum (garlic sauce). Nice staff. Will likely try a plate next time.“

“Went and had lunch the other day after my visit with Kaiser and I really enjoyed my lunch. I was attended by the manager, I believe her name is Leana. She was really cool and was very helpful with the menu. Definitely made my experience a lot more enjoyable. The food is delicious and have never had a negative experience with it.“

“awesome place and great food“

“What a hidden gem in Oakland! If you're looking for authentic halal smash burgers, delicious wings, and comfort food made with passion, this is the place to be. Every bite tasted fresh and was clearly prepared with pride and attention to detail.
What made the experience even more special was meeting the owner in person. You can instantly tell he's pouring his heart and soul into this business, and his love for cooking and serving customers shines through in everything they do.
The restaurant is spacious, perfect for families and large groups, and they even have a pool table where you can relax, have fun, and unwind while waiting for your food or hanging out after your meal. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and very family friendly.“

“Amazing burger, amazing tastes, the best cheese burger I have ever had in Falafel flame Hayward mission blvd. I strongly recommend this area for everyone Best of luck Hashmatullah faqiri“

“Nick the Greek is always a spot that's fairly consistent across all of their locations (at least the ones I've been to). It was nice to be greeted when I walked in and the cashier had welcomed me in with a smile. It's been a while since someone welcomed me or my friends into a restaurant with a smile, so this was appreciated. This location also had plenty of seats and since I went during lunch, I could really sit anywhere.“

“The lemon potatoes are so simple yet delicious. The chicken skewers are always cooked perfectly. The seasonal watermelon salad is SO good, my only suggestion would be to add pistachios or something for crunch. I stop here for lunch quite a bit and the food and friendly service are always consistent. Ordering ahead and picking up is also super easy on their app, though when I’ve walked in they’ve been fast without sacrificing yummy.“

“Good but -1 star for the hours. Every time I actually want quesabirria tacos, they're closed. They close during the prime dinner time, which is unfortunate. I always end up ordering my quesabirria tacos from elsewhere.

Besides their quesabirria, I really like their orange and green salsas. It's just the right amount of heat in each.“

“Food quality and wholesome healthy option makes it a great place to eat. The veggie options, protein and sauces covers all bases. The food is tasty and portions are decent.
Lately their prices have gone up a quite a bit, especially they were on the high side to begin with.
The staff is friendly and welcoming.“

“Zenti Bistro is a wonderful place to enjoy a delicious and relaxing meal! The food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented, and the portions were satisfying. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, while the service was friendly and attentive. Everything came together for a really enjoyable dining experience. Definitely a great spot in San Leandro, and I’d happily come back again!“

“The atmosphere was great and the service was friendly, but the food was far too greasy for my taste. There was literally a layer of melted butter sitting on top of the meat, which made it feel unnecessarily heavy and masked the flavor. With less butter and grease, the food would be much better.“

“5 stars. This place is a gem.

We had lunch here and the food was really delicious. We ordered the qabuli palo, house salad, and chicken wings — everything was perfect.

The qabuli palo was flavorful and cooked just right, with tender meat and aromatic rice. The house salad was fresh and a great balance to the meal.

But the crispy wings were such a WOW. Seasoned perfectly, super crispy on the outside, juicy inside. Easily the highlight.

Service was friendly and the place felt welcoming. We’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Highly recommend if you want authentic, delicious food done right.“

“Great taste and very good customer service.“

“I recently visited the Fremont location and had an excellent experience. I ordered a gyro, opting for both the lamb and the pork belly, and the food was fantastic. The service was incredibly fast, and the restaurant itself was kept spotlessly clean. The portions are also very large .

It’s highly convenient with great parking and late operating hours. Easily a five-star experience!“

“Great taste and very good customer service.“
