Middle Eastern Restaurants near Lafayette, CA

“Very good choice, great food“

“Truth be told I would rate it 4.6 stars cause it’s pricey, but with anything you order they give you a very generous amount of food and a balanced healthy and good meal. I felt like I had to write a review because the customer service was fire. I ordered, they gave me complimentary pita bread for the Muhammara I ordered in addition to my kebab plate which came with a good portion of chicken, vegetables, rice, and hummus. Also gave me Turkish coffee and then extra sauce while I was waiting for no extra charge. Customer service was on top. Especially that dude Shaheen who took my order he did all that stuff I’m talking abt and was so nice the whole way through and answered every question no problem they gotta give that man a raise he doing a great job he bringing in business. They had some jazz playing in the background so the atmosphere was vibey. Overall great experience despite the price.“

“The food was perfection the best Middle Eastern food in all of Oakland Ca“

“they have nice Hookah last long, nice service, and they service nice tea 🍵 also, but the decorations is not so good“

“The BEST meal! We absolutely love this place. Every dish we’ve tried has been fabulous. Definitely start with the mixed place to try a bit of many appetizers. And the Khan Plov is so so good. I had never had Azerbaijani food but this is our new go-to with guests or for a date night in Oakland.“

“Brunch with besties is already a treat, but here it's something really special. We had wonderful crepes, Turkish coffee, and it was my first time truing shakshuka. The atmosphere is soft and sumptuous, layered with rugs and sheepskin. The staff invited us to kick back and get cozy, and you can hardly help but relax and enjoy. Can't wait to come back!“

“Put it in two words. Dam good. Had a lot other Ethiopian food, but this one tops them all in Bay Area. Plus the prize is much understandable.“

“Amazing food and service. The flavors were amazing and delicious. The beets appetizer were very good. The Lamb Kabobs are excellent. Inspiration of this restaurant is from Middle East, Africa and California as per the owners comments. We loved all the menu and the trout and Lamb bastila were the highlights“

“The pomegranate chicken… I’m sure on this earth there must be better chicken but I haven’t found it yet. Every childhood event, you’d open the tray and there would be the pomegranate chicken and the yellow rice. Nothing better. I was lucky then, and I’m luckier now that La Med is still here and is still so good! Tastes the same: perfect“

“On one of my walks I passed by the restaurant and it opened my curiosity. I brought a friend for lunch today, to say the least, it was a very enjoyable experience, the food was excellent and very tasty, great atmosphere, the workers attentive and polite, as we were new they suggested what to eat, their choices were great. Welcome to Walnut Creek.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed coming here to try different things. Today, I ordered truffle maker. But I was disappointed to find out that TKS corporate is discontinuing kofta. Bring it back. Kumar and Leslie are very friendly and efficient in their service.“

“I don't remember how many times i've been here lol. Whenever I was too lazy to prepare lunch for myself, I usually bought gyro in this place and then went back to my lab/class. The price is affordable for Berkeley Standard (i remember it was around 12 usd before tax).

This place was also in UC berkeley north gate before, so it was close to my building. Then the one in north gate was closed. However I didn't mind to go back and forth from my lab to this place in southgate, my lazy ass didn't mind to go downhill then uphill lol.
And yeah, this place also offers halal food, so that's a plus“
