We were there near closing and there was some customers that came in as they closed and they weren't turned away but welcomed in. Was nice friendly environment. Was surprised by a tea at the end of our meal. Sadly we were just driving by and don't live in this area but if we need to come by this way again we will be back!“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Incredible Mediterranean Food!
​If you are looking for authentic, fresh, and incredibly flavorful Mediterranean food, this is the place to go in Burlingame! The kabobs are cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and packed with the right amount of spices. Every side dish, from the hummus to the fresh rice, tastes homemade and high-quality.
​Beyond the food, the service is outstanding. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. The portions are very generous for the price, meaning you definitely won't leave hungry. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch wrap or sitting down for a full dinner plate, it never disappoints. Highly recommended!“

“I decided to give it a try because Mediterranean. There are too many Italian and Asian places and I wanted something different.
Gives an I glad I did !

They have a great menu choice and although I don't remember the name of my dish it was lamb and it was amazing. Perfect temperature, amazing flavor, the rice was spot on and the salad crunchy and fresh.
I am not sure what stressing they used but I could drink that by itself, it was amazing. The lady who served me had a smile on her face and was super polite. The bread I got with my order was delicious.

I am absolutely coming back here and I will drag everybody here who asks me where to eat.

Next time I want to try their pizza so watch for that.

A really great place, I can only recommend it.

Update 05/2026:

Kofta Kebap Plate.... I just returned from Sydney where I got to try and enjoy all sorts of meals so it was my desire to stop by Med. P&G for a Kofta Kebab plate.. and I am so glad I did.
The best was tender and flavorful, the gentle lemon dressing on the crisp salad was incredible, the rice really really good and the bread... I have no words.

I am glad I came back!“

“ONE word "EXCELLENT". Great menu, love the murals, quick service, clean and they even serve beer and wine. parking is tricky so have patience. Garlic Fries, Hummus, Combo Gyro Plate!“

“Everything i ordered (mansaf, veggie plate, chick shawerma, dolma, tabbouleh) was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. And the aish elsraya was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I’m going back for more. Great service, too.“

“Tried some sides and appetizers mid afternoon, loved them all. Hummus, baba ganoush and kebabs are flavorful. Wines are average ones so picked a bottle of some random brand, not bad for the price though. Seating outdoor is pleasant and enjoyable.“

“Amara has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants - top 3 in the Bay Area for Mediterranean food. The quality of their ingredients is like farm to table, and their sister restaurants are two of my favorite Indian in the Bay Area as well. I will be frequently this place!“

“We ordered the house combo and it was very tasty. It came with 4 meats(chicken,beef,gyro ,koftedes). All of the meat was juicy,tender and well seasoned. The rice. was fluffy ans delicious. The mixed green salad had tomatoes amd cucumber and was topped with a pickled cabbage and dressed to perfection. I only had a small bite of the pita because rhe meal was so filling. I can't wait to try the baklava we ordered. What a great find. I will definitely be going back to this restaurant.“

“Amazing atmosphere, delicious food, great Turkish tea, and really good hookah. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful, and the vibe of the place was very cozy and stylish. Our waiter Ayaz was very friendly, attentive, and really listened to our preferences and requests. Definitely a great spot for a relaxing evening“

“Bahche made our day out on a warm sunny day, even better! We came to Field Works to watch the England vs. Croatia game, and since they are in partnership with Bahche, the food was brought straight to our table! Super fresh, warm and ready to munch by all at the table! The ceviche was super juicy and tasty, the shrimp, fish and octopus was absolutely delicious. The beef and chicken skewers had just the right marinate and grill marks that made us feel outdoors, as if they were grilled right beside us. All around excellent experience for myself my brother and our friends. Anybody visiting this area needs to visit Bahche, it’s super convenient to get to between El Camino and 101-S in a super nice renewed area of Hillsdale/San Mateo. Their baklava with ice cream topped off the amazing experience and it was to our liking. I must call out their attention to detail, check out my photo of the baklava. How they place it even for a to-go packaging! Awesome and well recommended!“
