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.“

“Lovely owner. Remembers you, will take care of you even if you’re new. Amazing food with thoughtful presentation that’s cooked perfectly. I would recommend here for first or 40th date. I would eat here with friends. Lovely lovely lovely place.“

“Delicious food for decades, family owned! We are never disappointed with this small, friendly restaurant. It is not a chain restaurant, has been around for many years, which must say something. Give it a try if you’re in the mood for some quick, delicious Mediterranean food!“

“Really enjoyed Nomadic Kitchen in San Mateo! They feature a streamlined menu focused on heavy-hitting entrees and appetizers, which makes ordering easy because everything they do, they do right.

The hummus plate is an absolute must-have. It features incredibly creamy, delicious hummus topped with vibrant cabbage and pomegranate seeds. It is surrounded by a beautiful ring of rich, colorful sauces, dips, and pickles that pair perfectly with the basket of warm, homemade bread.

For the main course, the chicken kebab was a total hit. The chicken breast cubes are perfectly charred and incredibly tender. What really sets Nomadic Kitchen over the top is their beautiful plating and generous side options. The entree comes out beautifully arranged on a sleek black platter, complete with a fresh salad topped with pickled cabbage, a side of seasoned bulgur wheat, and a side of fluffy white rice. Having both rice options on one plate is a fantastic touch.

If the weather is nice, I highly recommend sitting out on the patio area to enjoy the beautiful San Mateo sun. The service was completely solid, friendly and fairly quick, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you get. I will definitely be back.“

“great place and nice food“

“Amara has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants - top 3 in the Bay Area for Mediterranean food. The quality of their ingredients is like farm to table, and their sister restaurants are two of my favorite Indian in the Bay Area as well. I will be frequently this place!“

“Adorable little café with amazing coffee and pastries! The cappuccino was perfect, and the croissant tasted fresh out of the oven. Super cozy atmosphere and kind staff. Can’t wait to come back!“

“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 .“

“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. I had a pup with me so having an outdoor space was so handy. Food was top notch. Salad with watermelon… steak.. oyster. Holly!!! Ridiculously delicious. If you want experience— ask the staff what’s chef most excited about. Be guru for a second. Chef Amiran the best! Thank you guys.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“First time! Will definitely be back!!“

“• Totally Rockin’ this Family-Owned Restaurant •

Ordered two combo plates to go. The meats were tender and well-seasoned, pairing perfectly with their fragrant rice, pita, refreshing salad, and cold sparkling Vimto.

I also wanted to mention that even the takeout utensils were high quality, not the flimsy kind you often get elsewhere.

“Outstanding on the food, just wow just amazing I give this place four stars. From the friendly service to the outstanding food. Great all around..!!!!“

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

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

“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.“

“Came here on Saturday 7/26, and the service was so friendly I had to review! Both register and kitchen staff were friendly and attentive. They were also proactive for service opportunities. Definitely the best Nick the Greek I’ve ever been to. And extremely clean bathroom!“

“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.“

“When it comes to Mediterranean food, Falafel Tazah truly stands out. I've been a loyal customer at all of their locations for over ten years, and I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal. Their chicken and veggie kabobs are my go-to favorites, and their falafels, hands down the best I've ever had. Their food certainly lives up to the name with that unmistakable fresh taste every single time.

The restaurant is always spotless and impeccably maintained, which adds to the whole experience. The owner is genuinely one of the friendliest people you'll meet and goes out of his way to make sure every customer leaves happy.

Keep up the amazing work, Team Falafel Tazah!“

“I came in during a weekday afternoon as I needed something convenient and fresh. I've always had the gyro bowls but during this visit I saw they were advertising the Mediterranean bowl so I asked the staff / cashier what the differences were between the two and she told me about the ingredients used. Honestly I wasn't up for trying something new in that moment, but the cashier shared that the Mediterranean bowl was her favorite item and suggested I pair it with the chicken souvlaki. It was one of the tastier and better casual lunches I've had in a while! Service was also very friendly and helpful, and I thanked the cashier on my way out for her recommendation. It was so good that the following week I ordered the same bowls for a family dinner via door dash.

Highly recommend folks try the flavorful and vibramt Mediterranean Bowl if they havent her already.“

“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!“

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

“Very good food and friendly service. They also have heated outdoor seating.

The whole branzino entree and Muhammara dip are both very good. I've gotten both multiple times. They also serve complimentary warm sesame bread which is delicious.“

“Bahche made our day out on a warm sunny day, even better! We came to Field Works to watch the England vs. Croatia game, and since they are in partnership with Bahche, the food was brought straight to our table! Super fresh, warm and ready to munch by all at the table! The ceviche was super juicy and tasty, the shrimp, fish and octopus was absolutely delicious. The beef and chicken skewers had just the right marinate and grill marks that made us feel outdoors, as if they were grilled right beside us. All around excellent experience for myself my brother and our friends. Anybody visiting this area needs to visit Bahche, it’s super convenient to get to between El Camino and 101-S in a super nice renewed area of Hillsdale/San Mateo. Their baklava with ice cream topped off the amazing experience and it was to our liking. I must call out their attention to detail, check out my photo of the baklava. How they place it even for a to-go packaging! Awesome and well recommended!“

“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“

“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!“

“I came with a bunch of work colleagues and the atmosphere was nice. The outdoor seating was nice and the staff were helpful, although they didn't come around too often unless we ordered something in the app. This meant that plates were left for quite a while. I looked around to other tables and didn't see anyone helping them regularly either.

The food was OK, not great or memorable but we were ordering for the group so we couldn't get a real meal. We had hummus, lamb, and chicken with some bread. The chocolate cake was good, rich but not overwhelming.

I think the best part was just hanging out with friends, and I saw that with other tables as well, everyone just enjoyed their time and relaxed. Not being pushed out for the next person.“

“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“

“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.“
