“Hasan took wonderful care of us when we wandered in on a Sunday evening. The food was delicious, and he gently steered us during the ordering process to ensure we had just enough with great variety.

Less hype than some of the nearby restaurants with much better food, for a much better price, with much better service. We're already looking forward to our next visit.“

“The food was ACTUALLY to die for. Did not expect this level of flavor from this humble establishment, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything we got was delicious including hummus, babaganoush, mix platter, dolma, caramalized milk, baklava, and the Iskender. I probably wouldn't get the Iskender again, but that's just because they made an Italian spin on Mediterranean food and I just wanted Mediterranean. They even served me a free Turkish tea just for the heck of it.
Come and eat here, you won't regret it!“

“I’ve had such a good time at Zaytinya. It’s a perfect spot to meet up with friends or loved ones. Nice food along with wholesome atmosphere.

“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.“

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

“I’m honestly surprised I didn’t discover this spot sooner. I had heard of it before, but this was my first visit and I was really impressed. It is a large, cozy space with simple interiors and a very busy kitchen, which says a lot about how much traffic they get. The food definitely lived up to the popularity.

I ordered the chicken kebab with the hummus plate as the base. I originally wanted to try the majadera rice and lentils, but they were out of it, probably because I visited close to closing time. Thankfully, the hummus plate turned out to be an excellent choice. The chicken was incredibly tender and well seasoned, and it came with generous portions of hummus, baba ghanoush, onions, cilantro, pickles, purple cabbage, and other sides. They even included fries in the mix, and surprisingly, everything worked together really well. It was such a unique combination that I was genuinely impressed.

I also tried a couple of falafel balls out of curiosity, and they paired really well with the rest of the meal. The only small downside was that the soda was not as cold as I would have liked. The staff were nice, although understandably quite busy with the rush.

Overall, this was a fantastic Mediterranean food experience and easily one of the more interesting combinations I’ve tried. I absolutely recommend it and cannot wait to come back.“

“This is a very unique joint because it’s inside of a grocery store which made it unique, but the food itself was amazing. We were here from out of town in the Central Valley and the reviews were very good so we took a chance and we were very happy. The grocery store itself was amazing. They had some items that we can’t find back home so we did some grocery shopping as well. I would highly recommend this place two thumbs up.“

“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.“

“Great food, Friendly staff.“

“Comida Grega, muito bem temperada, no ponto certo. Para mim, claro! Parabéns!“

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

“good food and helpful service“

“5 STARS! No BS corporate Olive Garden here! Calzone's my fave. Few Italian spots make'm nowadays. Bread's pillow soft. Mushrooms & tomatoes retain a lotta H2O. I've had some watery ones from other restaurants that spilled out when cut open in the past. Theirs is legit. Customize your own, but the 1 on the menu's fabulous as is. They make their own herb focaccia! Ordering mouthwatering meatballs a la carte is a must! Pastas, paninis, open face, salads, rotisserie chx, ribs, draft beer, wine, delivery, takeout, etc. Perfect place to take your loved ones/friends who'd appreciate the art & hard work the staff serves up so quickly!“

“We had an absolutely exceptional dinner here! We ordered the hummus, the chicken kebab plate, and the combo kebab plate. The hummus was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the bread was served so warm and fresh that it practically melted in our mouth. The kebabs were hands down the best we’ve ever had-tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned.
On top of the amazing food, the service was outstanding. The owner was very courteous and constantly checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed by the entire staff and management. Thank you for providing us with such a exquisite dinner experience-we will definitely be back!“

“Thumbs up:
- Easy, free parking
- Classy, quiet, and comfortable atmosphere
- Attentive and friendly service
- Steak was cooked as requested and with a nice chimichurri sauce

Meh:
- The accompanied shoestring potatoes were literally potato chips in shoestring format; really didn't pair well with the steak. Some veggies or polenta would have been much better.
- The key lime cheesecake was fine but not particularly tangy or memorable.
- Ow the lunch pricing. $60 after tax and tip for the steak entree + dessert (no drink), but this *is* in a hotel, so I wasn't terribly surprised.“

“Great veggie burger. Will go back.“

“Oren's hummus offers authentic Israeli hummus in a convenient spot in Palo Alto. Service is quick and efficient

Reccomend the lamb kebabs with rice, they were really juicy and had a deep lamb flavour which paired well with the fragrant rice“

“Good food, reasonable prices, friendly staff quick service and groovy music“

“Great foood. Great service. Will go back. First time visit.“

“Absolutely delicious food“

“Excellent food options and they also have a great drinks menu. The hookah lounge is outside and separated from the dining area so it doesn’t bother non-smokers. The watermelon cocktail is the best fancy drink I’ve seen here and is a must try! 🍉
The food ordering is through mobile and is really easy. The servers helped us to pack the entire food in a to-go-box and were very quick.“

“Chai is great, tastes basically as good as Coupa's“

“I have to give a huge shoutout to the team at Nick the Greek! I placed an online order and left a note mentioning that my falafel hadn't been cooked well in the past. Not only did they make sure it came out perfectly crispy this time, but they also threw in a free sauce AND left the sweetest handwritten note on my order slip. It's such a small thing that takes so little effort, but it means so much as a customer. it TRULY shows they actually read the notes and genuinely care about getting it right. This kind of above-and-beyond service is rare, especially with online orders where there's usually zero personal touch. You just earned a loyal regular. Thank you for making my day!“

“Good schwarma, great looking on a plate and good, fast service. Only personal preference is that there was too much sauce and too many veggies, including pickles? This caused the wrap (+ for toasting Levant wrap). This caused the wrap to gush sauce at the bottom and falls apart.“

“Amazing food, excellent service, family owned and run local restaurant that is consistently fresh and delicious with huge portions! Love this place!“

“Las pizzas están bien ricas“
