“Very good Turkisk food, great outdoor seating front and back, and always friendly staff. State St. has some of the best restaurants in beautiful Los Altos!“

“Everything! It's a flawless dining experience.“

“Had lunch here yesterday while passing through the area, the mushroom pide was out of this world. The pastry/crust was unbelievably fresh and the flavor was delicious! Our server Umut was super friendly and attentive. Positive experience all around!“

“Food: only ordered vegetarian food and everything was amazing. Falafel was probably the softest I have ever had so far and the mezze sampler was also quite good. I'll recommend starting off with sampler and ordering anything you like as a separate dip. Street fries were also good. They have unlimited tea and the mint lemonade was super refreshing.

Service: this place has minimal interaction with servers as every table has a QR code to order food and pay when you order.

Atmosphere: divided into 3 parts outdoor, indoor and patio. Indoors is bright with open kitchen and patio is dark with plants, string lights and heaters. Sat in patio and loved the vibe.“

“Zadna is wonderful.The food is absolutely delicious and the people are fabulous. Please make sure to support them.They deserve it.“

“This place was an absolute lifesaver for late night eats back in college - after studying at Cañada College or the local Happy Donuts, coming here was our top dinner choice. Was delighted to find this week, visiting my hometown that Rockn Wraps is still indeed rockin’ in 2024. If anything, the food is even more amazing than it was back in those munchie college days. Soo good. Top notch quality, thoughtful presentation, perfect level of spice and their House Sauce is amazing over the entire Shawarma plate. Yum x 100!!“

“We started out with Hummus and pita from there we ordered dinner. We received so much food! I can’t imagine the one that said they didn’t get enough. I believe as full as we are, we secretly looking forward to our midnight munchies.
Thank you very much, The “

“I recently had the pleasure of trying the kebab here, and I must say, it was exceptional! The kebab was incredibly juicy and fresh, bursting with flavor. Every bite was a delight. The quality of the ingredients really stood out, and the seasoning was spot on. I'll definitely be back again for more! Highly recommended for anyone craving a delicious kebab.“

“Welcoming atmosphere, very kind staff, and wonderful food!“

“Here’s a suggested review you could post:

"I recently tried the burger at Pizza +, and it was fantastic! The patty was juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor, and the toppings complemented it perfectly. I wasn’t expecting such a great burger from a pizza place, but they truly delivered. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're in the area!"“

“Ever since I walked into this restaurant, I instantly fell in love. The clean, healthy, tasty, perfectly portioned sized, and masterly prepared dishes by Ali, and his friendly staff, keep me coming back. My new favorites are the lentil soup, and lamb shank (limited menu special). Satisfying food experience I highly recommend.“

“I’m not usually that kind of person that likes to leave reviews!! But this place is awesome �!! Great food, clean place, third time here and will definitely come back whenever I’m in the area .“

“Had lunch At Gourmet Gyros & Kebabs for the first time and can’t believe I’ve been missing out! The food is so fresh and delicious 🤤 including their desserts!!“

“Had a wonderful, fresh breakfast and a nice dinner at the restaurant in The Westin in Palo Alto. The breakfast I chose was the bar which included eggs, bacon, potatoes, and French toast. Cereal, coffee, OJ, and toast was available as well a 8 varieties of fruit.For dinner, I started with the cheese plate and finished with the Soleil Burger with Gilroy fries. Long Islands were outstanding. The cheese plate was excellent and served with toast. The burger was cooked to perfection with bacon and cheddar.“

“The quality of the food from Falafel Stop is really good: the falafels are a significant step above Falafel Drive-in and especially Oren’s. The vegan food is prepared at a separate counter from the meat. During the lunch rush, sometimes the owner will walk around with a plate of falafels to hand out to folks waiting in line. Weekdays at lunch get busy: there’s a high school across the street. Parking can get tricky, especially because the owner seems to have a thing for antique cars and sometimes parks his Cybertruck across a few spots when he’s around. Since they enclosed the patio seating, it’s a bit nicer (no fending off pigeons) but the ambiance is still pretty lacking. It’s right next to a 10-lane highway and can get pretty hot during the summer. But the food is great. My favorite is to order the falafel salad with three extra pita (one comes with it) and then you can make 4 falafels for the cost of 2. Make sure to get medium spice and the peppers if you can tolerate some heat. The fries are very hit or miss, for some reason. Sometimes they’re nice and crispy with a pleasant seasoning. But often they’re only salted and feel soggy. Not sure why. You order inside and then take your receipt to another line to the right for them to make the food. For some reason, ordering via DoorDash in the evenings gets you a little crispy cauliflower on the falafel salad? Not bad but strange. Also weird is the cafe that seems abandoned next door. I guess that didn’t work out for them or was just too confusing.“

“Wow! My new all-time favorite Mediterranean restaurant. As soon as you walk in the aromas from the kitchen are just astonishing. The space is warm and welcoming. Even on the Wednesday after Thanksgiving, it was filled with happy people sitting at the bar and tables eating and enjoying camaraderie. Since it was my first time, I ordered the six side dish sampler and every single one was phenomenal. The hummus is a garlicky herbed slice of heaven. The baba ghanoush is without a doubt the best I have ever tasted. Then there was an eggplant dish with maple syrup and pomegranate seeds that just explodes with deliciousness. I had the beet salad with goat cheese and it's just delightful. Since I was alone, I was limited as to how many items I could try, but I cannot wait to come back with my family and order up a storm! Thank you Tamra Mediterranean grill for a truly exceptional dining experience.“

“good food and helpful service“

“Great food. Quick. Friendly staff. Convenient location.“

“Delicious, fresh ALWAYS food. Check out the hummus when made by the lady owner. It is the smoothest, most delicious I have ever eaten!“

“Tasty and healthy food at the right price. I ate here twice after hiking in Palo Alto and one of the best wraps I have ever had“

“This was my first time trying this spot and as a first time costumer I went ahead and ordered the chicken Kobe something wrap. I switched the pickles to cucumbers and I must say THIS WAS THE BEST CHICKEN WRAP I EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!🤯🔥

Currently my daughter has 6 more months of Chemo to go and I’m really looking froward to have more chicken wraps for the upcoming visits 🙈“

“We booked a large group meeting (20 people) that grew to 28 people. The team handled the change quickly and we never really had any delays. I felt bad that the server didn't have much help but she did a great job and I really appreciated her hard work. Food was good as always, especially the steak skewers appetizers. Many got the large steak and said it was so good. Thanks for allowing us to have our group dinner there - we had a great time and look forward to the next time!“

“Absolutely exquisite food that comes out fresh. Service was amazing & the people even though busy were very very helpful. Can't recommend this place & food enough.“

“I was visiting the area and found this place on Maps near my hotel. WOW what a find! It was hard making a decision, because everything on the menu sounded great. I got a kefta kebab plate: 3 big pieces of kefta on yellow rice with roasted veggies. It came with a nice salad with lots of finely chopped Persian cucumbers, and a very generous dollop of hummus. And, of course, a lovely big pita. This made dinner last night and lunch today. So yummy. If you like spice, say YES to the hot sauce! Tangy and delicious.

Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, baba ganouj

Dietary restrictions: Halal meat“

“Excellent food, drinks and service.“

“Both the chicken gyro and the beef-lamb gyro are good. If you get the salad rather than the plate, the salad portion is about double the side salad in the plate entree. It like a Greek salad with olives and feta as well in addition to cucumber and tomato.

They have covered outdoor seating. Service is light but friendly - you order and pay inside and they give you a number and bring out the food to you when it's ready.“

“Excellent meal was had at this restaurant. Service was very good, food was great, portions were generous. Have to go highly recommend.“

“This place is very affordable and the food is delicious. We always like to come here with our friends and sometimes we have to be quick otherwise all tables are full! What I would improve, and I've been thinking about this every time I come here, is definitely the ACOUSTICS! Every time the sound is very lous and you can barely hear the next person talking! Especially when it's full. I would recommend some wall acoustic panels for the TV wall. There are nowadays very modern and affordable solutions for acoustic paneling.“

“The red and green sauce are off the hook!“

“Great veggie burger. Will go back.“

“Anatolian Kitchen sat us at 8:45 on a Thursday evening when most other nearby restaurant kitchens were closed. Service was exceptional, our cocktails, appetizers, and main courses were perfectly prepared and delicious. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality.“

“Excellent! Many fascinating choices, moussaka was light, excellent, beautifully presented. Combination mezze plate was excellent and elegant! Breads were perfect, fresh and and flavorful. Coffee was smooth, served in delicate ornate Turkish china. Staff was wonderful and excited to welcome us, help with any questions. A quiet place for a lovely family dinner! Opening at 4 pm was very helpful, parking out front or in back. Felt like being transported to a gracious culture in a family’s home.“

“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.“

“Old school…throughout these years, still great food all the time!“

“Absolutely delicious food“
