“A great little neighborhood restaurant.

The food was excellent.

Reasonably priced and lots of seating.

Owner is friendly and very accommodating.

Nice place to sit and relax.
You do. Not feel rushed at all.“

“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.“

“great place and nice food“

“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.“

Thank you very much, The “

“Small restaurant right off Broadway. In town for jury duty and while on lunch took a stroll down Broadway looking for lunch. Didn't want a busy place cuz that's where everybody goes cuz it's there. So I see this spot on a small cross street and nobody there. Well that's where I'm going. Super friendly people. I got the combo kabob. Now I don't have much experience with Mediterranean food but I definitely liked it. Gonna have to try more similar spots when I go on my weekly adventures. He's been there for 14 years. Amazing.“

“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!"“

“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 .“

“good food and helpful service“

“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!“

“This is my first time in this wonderful restaurant and it's love at first sight! Very tasty food, very friendly staff and everything is spotlessly clean! I highly recommend it! My lunches will now be more enjoyable and healthy! I am from Russia and I am very pleased to eat the cuisine of our Turkish friends.“

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

“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.“

“Solid falafel. The sabich pita I had was also particularly good.

Ordering is not super straightforward. You wait in line to place an order and receive a receipt. After, you wait in line at either the veggie or meat areas and they’ll make your order on the spot.“

“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 little gem is inside a grocery store. We ordered a chicken shawarma plate and a falafel plate. They take your order at the deli counter and you pay at the grocery checkout lane, then there is a little eating area in the front of the store. It took about ten minutes to prepare and both were delicious! The falafels were fluffy and crispy on the outside, chicken was tender and well grilled. The hummus was soooo creamy-loved it. The little side of garlicky goodness upped everything.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent food, drinks and service.“

“We dined in the bar for dinner rather than restaurant area, although the menu in the bar area is the same, per our server. It was very busy due to the Rolling Stones concert so we were happy to get a table. The service was very good considering everything going on. I felt the menu was a very limited dinner menu - no real options for a vegetarian diet. I am not sure, but possibly they changed the menu that night as I did not see items that I had seen online that I was interested in. I wasn't impressed with the menu at all, but my friends liked the wings. Fries were good. Feeling kinda neutral based on the overall experience.

Vegetarian options: Other than fries, and maybe a salad (Ceasar isn't vegetarian), I can't say I had options. I didn't see a vegetarian burger of any type offered; most places offer at least vegetarian burger substitutes these days.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Great veggie burger. Will go back.“

“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.“

“(Jun 2024) My group sat outside since we had a dog - it was a sunny, windless day and the table was in the shade.
My group got Mix Appetizer Platter to share and then we each ordered a wrap. I got the Doner Wrap which was ok. I liked the fries. The Mix Appetizer Platter was a good choice for variety but I only liked the hummus, yogurt, and eggplant appetizer. The bread was really good and warm when it was served - however, the amount of bread provided to us wasn't enough for our group of four and the amount of appetizer on the platter. We had to ask for more consistently - which the staff was happy to provide but it was somewhat annoying to keep asking. I think consumed four baskets of the bread.“

“Best Sabich!!! Their Pita taste good!!! Staff are polite. Quick service!“

“Good halal food and good service. Casual setting. We had the lentil soup which was very good. We also had the tabouleh, the beef kebab plate and the lamb kebab plate. They were good. The meat was tender. To make the beef and lamb plates taste even better, suggest to use basmati rice and fresh pita bread. That would take the dish to a higher level.

Vegetarian options: Falafel wrap, veggie wrap, falafel burger, cheese pide and veggie pide.

Parking: Easy to park and walk a short distance to the restaurant.“

“Absolutely delicious food“

“I went to Pronto Pizza with a friend on my birthday. I was telling her how good the ling cod fish and chips are there. So we drove down and was greeted by a kind and courteous employee. After ordering at the register and finding seating, food came out pretty fast. The Ling cod (4 pieces) was cooked too perfection, moist inside with a crispy outside, and the large cut fries were awesome and tasty! They have this house tartar sauce that is so good! A meal for two is around $45, with soda included. Also, their pizza is excellent, and they have many other items on their menu. I highly recommend Pronto Pizza!“

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

“Las pizzas están bien ricas“

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

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

“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.�“

“Service is a 4-star because Dee our server literally interrupted us like 8 times throughout our 1.5 hour dinner. She also can’t seem to read vibes that she’s interrupting and over-explaining and we really just want her to go away and continue our conversation ?“

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