“Food here was excellent. The only reason it is 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the fact that there is no indoor space or seating. But still worth it. I believe the other locations might have indoor seating, but I've never been and don't know.“
“The food was good and the service was great but I was expecting more for the shawerma this type of shawerma should be advertised as grilled chicken in a pan with shawerma seasoning because this is a pan cooked. Shawerma should be in a skewer. But overall good “
“We absolutely love this place, it has by far the best hummus around.We ordered the classic hummus and tzatziki. They were both incredible.We opted to try their spanakopita, which in my opinion wasn't as good as others I've had. They come 2 to an order so that was a pleasant surprise. I would stick to the dips next time.“
“Super tasty food. The steak and the pomegranate chicken are really good. The portions are pretty good size and there are many toppings to choose from.I wish the employees could smile and be a little nicer. That is what this place needs to be great.Vegetarian options: FalafelCauliflowerHummus“
“Visiting San Jose for a quick trip and stumbled upon this place and I am so happy I did. The regular or chilly momo, chicken or cauliflower doesn’t matter they were all delicious.Now keep in mind these were not Nepali Momo they were with a twist of gravy and I truly enjoyed that. Spice level was perfect and service was excellent.Highly recommend the place, I will be back on my next trip.“
“I've been coming here since it was in the old building. Consistent recipes, bursting with flavor. Food has actually gotten ever better. Rice is fluffy and they put the crispy rice on top. We always get a bunch of chicken and steak. Add some Shirazi salad with dressing on it. Great for a crowd. The grocery store attached is worth a wander and has things you can't find anywhere else. It's just a fun place to visit and locals are lucky to have it.“
“We walked in in the middle of the afternoon long past the normal lunch hour. The paneer 65 biriyani was amazingly tasty, despite the high spice level. The server warned me in advance of the spice but I was happy to try it out regardless. Great food overall.“
Mediterranean • $$
“This is a superb Mediterranean restaurant in Palo Alto. The food, service, and the ambience are all very nice. For appetizers, we ordered the eggplant which was incredibly flavorful, although a bit on the heavy side. For my main dish I ordered house combo plate, which came with a combination of chicken kebab, beef kebab, lamb and beef gyros, served with rice and a salad. Surprisingly, the chicken kebab were the best ones -- just amazing flavors, although I pretty much enjoyed everything. Very polite and courteous staff -- a definite place to return to.“
“I've been going here every since it opened up, and it is my go-to for halal pizza! Ingredients are fresh, bread/crust is delicious, and the owners are very friendly. Plus, there burger and pasta options are good, as well. Highly recommend!“
“Staffs are just lovely and the ambience is pleasant with light sounds of Nepali music in the background. The food hits all the right spots and often comes with complimentary sides! + ? for having outdoor sitting as I can’t travel without my pet.Can’t recommend enough to family, friends and colleagues!Vegetarian options: 90% of the menu is Veg!Dietary restrictions: There is vegan and halal options available!Parking: Parking is always availableKid-friendliness: So many happy kids!“
“A little hidden GEM!! The food was so delicious, soup and dishes had so much flavour, it was mouth watering. Turkish coffee was such a delight and the bread was sooo good. This place is for sure one of my top favourite restaurants. The gentleman serving was so sweet and courteous :) atmosphere feels cozy and at home!!“
“Don't walk, RUN to Kabob Fusion. My partner and I were looking for a restaurant that opens late on a Friday night and we were so blessed to discover this gem. The staff is so warm and welcomes you like family. The menu is concise and offers photos which help with decision making. We ordered the combo plate and the gyro wrap and hnnnnnghhh it's so good...like so so good. The gyro is grilled to perfection, soft and flavorful and not overly salty. Everything is really made with passion, I know this staff cares about feeding their customers well. Highly recommend this joint in Fremont. Watch out competitors, this place is on its way up.“
“Newly decorated place under new management. Labels to identify food in English and Chinese. Choose your broth from 6 options. Buffet includes vegetables, fish, noodles, bao buns tofu, sushi etc deserts and tea. Meat choices- lamb, beef, chicken. Xinjiang cuisine has additional menu optionsAmple “
“I work close to here and love the food. It's a cool spot to get lunch during the workday when the weather is nice.I usually order on door dash for pickup and walk down with my office mates. You can usually get a table, but it does get crowded, especially at lunch time. They have lots of vegan options, which is great! Definitely recommend the vegan potato thali.The only thing that could use improvement is the service. They are always very busy, and have lots of takeout orders. It makes things a little chaotic, and they get a bit mixed up sometimes. Don't eat here if you are in a hurry - you might have to wait a bit for them to sort things out.Overall I recommend this place if you happen to be in the area.Vegetarian options: Vegan stuff! Check it out ?“
“I have been to this place only a handful of times. Each time the food quality and service never ceases to amaze me. The food is spectacularly delicious. The service is quick. Don' t let that deter you in thinking the food quality must lack. On the contrary, they use fresh ingredients and the fact that they are so busy they food turn over is great. you know you are getting fresh cooked food. Hands down the best pakistani/indian restaurant in the bay area. I recommend the halwa puri thali on the weekends and the spinach gosht on the weekdays with garlic naan.“
“I tried The Good Salad for the first time and OMG it was absolutely delicious! I tried the Pesto Ceezar and the dressing on it is insanely good. They also give a decent amount of food. The food is really good quality and I'm so happy I found my new salad spot!!!“
“Amazing food! Ordered pani puri and Afghani soya chaap. The pani puri has three waters and the spicy water was the best. Careful, if your spice tolerance is low, coz this was Indian spicy. The Afghani chaap was yummy and exactly how we get in India. Super yummy food, keep it up!Vegetarian options: Soya chaap is really yummy and a great vegetarian option!“
“Ordered a large order for takeout and the owner was extremely accommodating and had phenomenal communication! The food was fantastic, wrapped well so it wouldn't spill in transport. The falafel was phenomenal, even some of my coworkers who don't like falafel in general said it was good! I would highly recommend going!Vegetarian options: Falafel is fantastic!“
“I've noticed more salad places popping up in the area and decided to check out this spot to switch up our usual trip to Mendocino Farms. Note that this is a to-go place for pick up only. No indoor seating. We ordered the samurai steak salad and subbed out the cucumbers for the croutons. The girl working was patient with us, and also threw in the sweet heat dressing for us to try! Customer service was amazing, if not the best I've received in a while (sadly). I loved how many options there were, and the salad was good, but I doubt I'll be going out of my way to come here again.“
“Lipsmackingly yummy, down to earth and minimal fuss executed perfectly!This was a vegetarian heaven in a somewhat meat-heavy area for restaurant options at superbly reasonable fare. The entire dish and all aspects screamed unique and exciting flavors which worked together really well and was a plentiful portion which left me with zero complaints. The falafel was also grilled perfectly, crispy yet light and fluffy left me drooling for more, the salad and grilled veggies were seasoned with some awesome spiced, all topped with crunchy and peppery baked pita chips.I can't wait to return and cannot recommend the Veggie Shawarma with Grilled Veggies and Grilled Falafel enough!“
“Went to Arya Steakhouse for Eid with my family, and it was really nice experience! They were accommodating, especially with our stroller, we were able to be seated outside. The lamb shank I tried was delicious, and so were the rice, garlic fries, and mashed potatoes. My wife loved the chicken kebab. Our server Michael was very nice, always making sure we had enough water, and food arrived at reasonable time. It's a good spot for Eid, all halal and very tasty. I was so full, I joked about needing help to get home. Definitely recommend it.“

“The best Nepali / Indian restaurant. For Indian s living in Los Gatos, I’m glad we have got such an amazing restaurant to satisfy the Indian taste buds without having to take a long drive to Sunnyvale or Santa Clara. They serve the (hands down) the best crispy Gobj Munchurian. Service is good II k and presentation is nice.“
“Halal meat is clean and it tasted so good. 3 mini sliders ...all fantastic flavors.Vegetarian options: They have meat alternatives!Dietary restrictions: They are Halal and can adapt to dietary restrictions based on allergy when you order IF you let them know.“
“We ordered the Hand-pulled Laghman which was very good! Noodles were fresh, veggies and meat were tender, and the sauce was very flavorful.As an appetizer, we ordered the Gosh Naan, which was a pleasant surprise. There was less meat in it than expected, but the meat was very juicy.In terms of service, it was a little bit slower than some other places.However, definitely still recommend stopping by, food was delicious!“
“I had the chicken masala with rice and it came with a potato and I believe Greek salad? Something like that it was an entree at lunch and it was outstanding. I've driven by this place a million times and never stopped and my car was getting repaired across the street and I finally made it inside and was not disappointed. The gentleman that runs the place is very very nice. The food was enough to fill me up which you don't see often sometimes these days. I would recommend it absolutely.“
“Yummy food here! We came to this place while visiting Amato's. Our daughter doesn't like cheese stake sandwiches but loves pizza. This place has a variety of pizzas and other goodies. The place looks clean and the staff is friendly. There's also plenty of parking as there is a parking lot. Price is reasonable for what you get. The food is delicious! You'll be coming back here to try some of their other pizza mash ups. They have several different types of pizzas. You'll be wanting to try more than one. I would recommend this place! It's delicious!“
“The food is great in flavor and is not salty like other places. The fried chicken sandwich and the fried fish sandwich is delicious. I go here at least 2-3 times a month for lunch and they never let me down! Service is greater than any chain fast food that is out there. Ambience is very casual and family friendly.“
“Excellent experience with Via Mia! We ordered delivery for 6 family-sized pizzas for a student event, and each one was a hit -- the flavoring was great, and our students loved the variety of halal options! We had barely any pizza leftover. Also had great customer service experience; they were very patient with the large order and delivery radius, and the delivery person themselves was very kind in offering to help carry the large order to the venue (even though parking was difficult). Overall great service and food -- will definitely be recommending to others and ordering from here again for future events.“
“I want to thank Lupe and her team for always making my experience great. The energy Lupe brings is always inviting and comforting in all of my experiences visiting here. I When I need to grab a delicious lunch, I always make a stop here. The service is excellent and the food is incredible. You never wait long, the food is always served fresh and hot and the staff is always attentive and friendly. I highly recommend you visit this restaurant if you love chicken and if you love great chicken! 5-Star service. 5-Star food. Lupe you’re the best!“
“Sajj Mediterranean exceeded all expectations with their build-your-own plate option! The food quality is exceptional, and one bowl is definitely more than enough for a satisfying meal. The falafel was a standout, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. As for their drinks, the special mint lemonade and strawberry lemonade were incredibly fresh and flavorful, but the mint stole the show for me. Additionally, the Valentine's Day decorations added a lovely touch to the ambiance during our visit. Highly recommend Sajj Mediterranean for a delicious and refreshing dining experience!“
“Interesting paki/Indian food. I think they added a twist to some things with the burgers and the wraps. The kebab burger patty had some interesting spices. The dahi puri was good but I wish I didn't take it to go as it gets soggy quickly.Really cool concept tho and the good was tasty so I def recommend“
“Flavorful Delight: A Culinary Journey at Halal Gyro Express & Kababs with Quick ServiceHalal Gyro Express & Kababs has become my go-to spot with its convenient 10 am to 10 pm hours. The Chicken Tikka Masala combo is a standout, featuring spices that beautifully mimic Indian flavors. What sets it apart is the inclusion of salad, bread, and the delightful addition of brown rice with Chicken Tikka Masala. The variety in one meal is impressive. To top it off, the baklava dessert is a sweet treat that adds a perfect finishing touch to the meal—absolutely yummy!“
“very genuine and great workers and the food is a amazing. awesome hospitality and it’s located in a great area. My favorite item is bacon cheddar burger or pepperoni/all meat pizza. Their buffalo ranch fries are also so good. They open late too which is a plus. 10/10 would recommend.Kid-friendliness: menu items for kids as wellWheelchair accessibility: spacious ordering area and dining area for those in wheelchair“
“Mohammed is an amazing person & a great passionate cook. The food there is homemade with a special touch & the portions are perfect. The lamb chops are juicy & tasty, goat & chicken Biryani are just very delicious that's why we keep returning with my family. No matter what you order it's made fresh & with organic ingredients, they serve everything with it's real flavor. If you haven't tried them you're missing out! He also makes great pizzas & guides customers who don't know the Afghanistan cuisine on the menu.Parking: There's street parking & parking @ the back of the buildingKid-friendliness: There's no alcohol beverages & it's perfect for families. The owner caters & accomodates all ages“
“This place is a great find. Burgers are tasty, hot and taste fresh. Service is fine, I don't expect much from quick-bite spots like this other than fresh, hot food and very basic service: quick order turn around and friendly vibes. Dining area is spacious, definitely set up for quick bites. I kept muttering to myself, "this is so good" - so there you have it lol 4.5/5 Suggestion: get a trash bin with a bigger hole, it's quite small and hard to get everything through the current one.“
“Authentic taste with great experience.We ordered Mysore masala dosa , podi idli and Madras dosa. Crispy tasty and real podi chutney.Although sambhar is not spicy at all and it has more sweet taste. Sambhar didn't had drumsticks and masala as it is supposed to be authentically.Chutneys are definitely tasty.Also like their buttermilk specially the fresh fragrance and taste of curry leaves.We had take out yesterday and uttapam is great too.Even samosa were crunchy and imli chutney is damn tasty.“
“Great chicken sandwiches. Tried the medium and hot spice levels. For me, the medium is tasty, but a little like, “where’s the ‘hot’ in Dave’s Hot Chicken?” The hot is like, “oh, there it is.” They’re both good. Perfect for me would be something right in between. For now, I’ll switch back and forth depending on sweaty I feel like getting.Definitely recommend.“
“Had the roasted Lamb, as well as chicken and beef kabobs, and all of it was wonderful.The lamb was as tender as I have had anywhere in the bay area and Came in a great portion for the price of the dish.The chicken and beef were delicious and had just the right amount of seasoning remaining to flavor the rice.If you have not, definitely give this place a try if you're in the area.Dietary restrictions: Food served is Halal“
“We came to SAJJ with a small group of coworkers, and it was fast, friendly, and tasty. I had a shawafel rice bowl (shawarma and falafel) and all of the toppings I had them put on were great. I also liked the mint lemonade! I'd be happy to come back for a quick meal some time.“
“Bay Area do need such authentic Indian food. What truly set this restaurant apart was its authenticity; the chefs have managed to capture the essence of traditional Maharashtrian cuisine without compromising on taste. The use of locally sourced ingredients added a layer of freshness that elevated the dish to new heights.Overall, my experience here was nothing short of exceptional. From the warm hospitality to the authentic flavors and perfect balance of spice and oil, this establishment has set a new standard for Maharashtrian cuisine. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or simply seeking a taste of authenticity, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to SURMAI.“
“We went here for dinner on a Thursday. There were 4 people in front of us in line to order. But there was enough seating for all of us. The only problem was - tables. They were not cleaned after people let them.The food was delicious! No two minds about this. In some aspects, even better than Zareens. We ordered their Lamb chops, Grilled fish, Signature Chicken Tikka, Signature Seekh Kabob and Garlic Naan. Seekh Kabob and the grilled fish was just okay. But the Signature Chicken Tikka and Lamb chops were divine! To wash all the food down, we also ordered Cane Sugar juice. It was pressed fresh in front of us.I will definitely be back for more!“
“This is my favorite spot for Indian food. My wife loves it too. We've had a la carte and the buffet. My wife first tried it at work- her indian coworkers ordered it for a team lunch.The buffet is really good. There is a wide selection and the food is fresh. They always refill the food promptly. My favorite is the tikka masala. My wife loves the butter chicken. There is also some indian dessert, but we've never tried it.When ordering a la carte, we typically order the lamb curry, orka and onions, and naan. There are two sizes so be sure to clarify which one you want. The price is fairly expensive compared to other places but its worth it. I brought food over to my mom's house for sunday dinner and everyone loved it. There is plenty of seating- booths and tables. The place is fairly clean. The bathroom is super small so make sure you go before coming in- its not the cleanest bathroom.“
“I rarely give a five star ratingCause I always think there's room for improvement but my wife and I have eaten here about 3 times getting the chicken plate combo and everything is excellent. The chicken, rice,salad w/dressing and saucesWe can't wait to try other things there.“
“The service hands down is the best here at this kebab shop location. Food is excellent taste fresh and prepared very well. This is a clean restaurant and meat is very tender and veggies are fresh and the sauces. Amazing. This is a must place for your wrap or kebab fries cravings.“
“The best falafel wrap I’ve ever eaten!! The seasoning was on point, the sauce was delicious and the wrap was cooked to perfection. My son loved the the burger too! My dad really enjoyed the Philly cheesesteak! Great service and good prices! We will be back.“
“I don't have pictures of food as I was very hungry I went to Union ave location Place is small but clean food is amazing, fresh and hot. I always order here the plater with chicken and beef kabab with rice . I have never got disappointed from food or customer service. You should give it try“
“This place serves really good, delicious momos. They only thing you need to make sure is that repeat your order and confirm before you pay. They charged for Veg chili momos and just served veg momos. This happened with me 2 times and I observed that with other customer as well.“
“Chicken is crispy, well seasoned, and juicy. Fries are also well seasoned & v tasty. employees are super nice. quickly became & continues to be one of my fave lunch spotsVegetarian options: there's a vegetarian chickpea+potato pattyParking: right behind the restaurant“
