I hate to be the bearer of bad news but someone has to! Besides that I will be happy to return and I strongly recommend this place! Ali was very kind as well as accommodating!“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Incredible Mediterranean Food!
​If you are looking for authentic, fresh, and incredibly flavorful Mediterranean food, this is the place to go in Burlingame! The kabobs are cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and packed with the right amount of spices. Every side dish, from the hummus to the fresh rice, tastes homemade and high-quality.
​Beyond the food, the service is outstanding. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. The portions are very generous for the price, meaning you definitely won't leave hungry. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch wrap or sitting down for a full dinner plate, it never disappoints. Highly recommended!“

“We travelled from Maryland to experience San Francisco, found this local restaurant within walking distance of our hotel, and decided to give it a try. It was well worth it! The staff was accommodating, attentive and very friendly. The food was exceptional! If you haven’t tried Mediterranean cuisine or love it, this is the place for you!“

“I decided to give it a try because Mediterranean. There are too many Italian and Asian places and I wanted something different.
Gives an I glad I did !

They have a great menu choice and although I don't remember the name of my dish it was lamb and it was amazing. Perfect temperature, amazing flavor, the rice was spot on and the salad crunchy and fresh.
I am not sure what stressing they used but I could drink that by itself, it was amazing. The lady who served me had a smile on her face and was super polite. The bread I got with my order was delicious.

I am absolutely coming back here and I will drag everybody here who asks me where to eat.

Next time I want to try their pizza so watch for that.

A really great place, I can only recommend it.

Update 05/2026:

Kofta Kebap Plate.... I just returned from Sydney where I got to try and enjoy all sorts of meals so it was my desire to stop by Med. P&G for a Kofta Kebab plate.. and I am so glad I did.
The best was tender and flavorful, the gentle lemon dressing on the crisp salad was incredible, the rice really really good and the bread... I have no words.

I am glad I came back!“

“A great Mediterranean counter service joint with very reasonably priced wraps and plates. Their desserts looked good, but I'll have to make sure to save room for them next time lol.

“Everything was deliciously good!“

“ONE word "EXCELLENT". Great menu, love the murals, quick service, clean and they even serve beer and wine. parking is tricky so have patience. Garlic Fries, Hummus, Combo Gyro Plate!“

“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!“

“Everything i ordered (mansaf, veggie plate, chick shawerma, dolma, tabbouleh) was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. And the aish elsraya was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I’m going back for more. Great service, too.“

“A group (6) of us went to celebrate a friends retirement and it was the first time for all of us at Amara. We wanted to to try a variety of dishes since they all sounded so good! James was our waiter, he was amazing and helped us come up with a selection that that was a mix of their Mezzes, Share Plates and Large plates. Their pita bread was to die for, it was so delicious and it helped us sop up every last bit of the sauces from each dish. James also made a suggestion of an off menu Cabbage ( shared plate) that hands down we all loved. The Branzino , the raviolis, Broccoli, egg plant and Muhammara all were delicious with wonderful flavors!! And like I said earlier James was an amazing waiter and contributed to our wonderful meal. I definitely plan on going back 😋“

“Tried some sides and appetizers mid afternoon, loved them all. Hummus, baba ganoush and kebabs are flavorful. Wines are average ones so picked a bottle of some random brand, not bad for the price though. Seating outdoor is pleasant and enjoyable.“

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

“First time! Will definitely be back!!“

“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..!!!!“

“Delicious vegan options!😋“

“Little Joey Skidmark lives just a half block away from Big Baba in that little funky yellow house, so when he asked me for a ride home from pier 3 I said as long as you sit on your jacket and keep the window down, because I don't want a stained seat in my truck. So he got a ride home, and I got to enjoy the world famous grilled chicken sandwich from Big Baba Eats! I got it without the grilling, and it was Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Oh my goodness. Such a gem in the rough. Amazing food in the middle of an industrial area. I'm an old fat white guy, and the meal defeated me. For the first time in a long time, I needed a doggy bag. The Shawarma were delicious as were the pickled veggies and cole slaw. The Arabic coffee was to die for. So rich and thick!“

“great service from the staff , good food , good ambience“

“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!“

“Amazing atmosphere, delicious food, great Turkish tea, and really good hookah. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful, and the vibe of the place was very cozy and stylish. Our waiter Ayaz was very friendly, attentive, and really listened to our preferences and requests. Definitely a great spot for a relaxing evening“

“I’ve tried a lot of hookah spots around the Bay Area, but this place really stands out. The atmosphere is chill and comfortable, making it a perfect spot to relax and hang out. The staff go above and beyond to make sure everything is right, and you can tell they care about the experience.

The food was fresh and flavorful, and the hookah quality was top-tier—smooth, long-lasting, and well-prepared. Everything just felt consistent and well put together.

Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a solid hookah lounge.“

“Food was fantastic and well above expectations, which were somewhat tempered given the mall location (hence 3 stars for atmosphere…it’s a mall). The flavor and overall value was great. Definitely makes me want to go back so I look forward to trying some of the other items on the menu. Service was good and as expected; nothing to improve upon.“

“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.“
