“The staff were so friendly and so nice! Place is clean and a good atmosphere to sit and dine. Got the birria tacos/fries/burger. The tacos and fries were just okay in my opinion.

“Tio's is about to become my regular haunt. I came in a few weeks ago and had a shawarma wrap with hummus and baba ganoush, and it was so incredibly good I was seeing stars. Today I ordered the veg sampler appetizer and the chicken beriani, and once again it's so good I nearly fell out of my chair. The beriani is so unlike anything I've had before, and I can't get enough of it. The falafel is the absolute best I've ever had - crunchy outside but perfectly moist inside. This place is an absolute gem - food made with love and intention, and incredibly kind and attentive staff.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place was pretty good, with fresh ingredients and a nice variety of vegetables, including plenty of vegetarian options. There was a good range of choices, which made it easy for everyone to find something they enjoyed.

The service was good overall, although it did take longer than expected for our food to arrive after we placed our order. It was also a little confusing figuring out which order belonged to whom. It would be helpful if the orders were clearly marked with names or table numbers to make things easier.

The ambiance was one of the highlights. The restaurant has a great modern-industrial design that gives the space a stylish but relaxed feel. They also offer outdoor seating, which is a nice option when you want to enjoy your meal outside.

Overall, we had a good experience and appreciated the fresh ingredients, variety of options, and atmosphere.“

“awesome place and great food“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Alora Social in San Ramon is such a fun spot for a night out! The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, making it perfect for date night, a celebration, or an evening with friends.

The food is excellent and beautifully presented. Definitely don’t skip the hummus platter—it’s fresh, creamy, and served with warm, fluffy bread and delicious accompaniments. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well prepared.

The cocktails are another highlight. They have a great selection of creative, handcrafted drinks that pair perfectly with the food.

For an extra special experience, I highly recommend visiting on a Saturday evening when they have live belly dancing. It adds such a fun and energetic element to the night and really makes the experience memorable.

One tip: make a reservation, especially for Saturday nights and weekends. They can get very busy!

Great food, fantastic cocktails, welcoming service, and a lively atmosphere make Alora Social one of my favorite spots in San Ramon. Definitely worth a visit!“

“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!“

“Awesome, had the falafel gyro. It was very delicious. Crispy on the outside tasty and moist on the inside. If your looking for a meat substitute than the falafel is just the thing.�“
