“Great Xinjiang hot pot restaurant! I really enjoyed the welcoming service and great hospitality. Food was great and food was tasty. I was amazed that the meats especially the beef near balls. The beef tasted like organic beef. Fried rice was tasty and cold hoodies were good. A pitcher of hot tea was provided with the meal which paired well with the hot pot meal. They had a variety of fruits to end the meal. Price was reasonable for thus all-you-can-eat Xinjiang hot pot restaurant.“

“The ultimate deli the r best. Sandwiches yummm 5 stars for this place ..I will be back again“

“I am writing this review with great happiness because the service I received was beyond my expectations. I have known about this restaurant for a long time, but yesterday was my first time visiting, and I had a wonderful experience.

The food was very good, and the taste was excellent. We asked them to prepare the meat in a specific way, and they made it exactly as we requested. Their service was outstanding, especially Mr. Joe. He was very kind, respectful, and professional. He listened carefully to our instructions and made sure everything was served just the way we wanted.

I truly appreciate the great service and hospitality. Overall, the restaurant, the staff, and the food were all excellent. I would definitely recommend this place to others.“

“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.�“

“A Thai Express is absolutely fantastic! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Every dish tasted authentic, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff was friendly, fast, and welcoming, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. I especially loved how quickly the food came out without losing any quality. If you’re craving delicious Thai food with great service, A Thai Express is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!“

“Excellent venue for events and food is the best.“

“Really enjoyed my visit to Zingsters. The food was fresh and tasty, and the customer service was excellent. Naveed, who took our order, was very friendly, patient, and helpful throughout. I also really appreciated that they have a place for customers to pray Salah (Namaz), which was a nice touch. Great food, great service, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Everything we've ordered the past few times have been amazing and cooked to perfection. Portions are also generous with lots of sauce, which pairs well with the rice or naan. The monthly specials are hit or miss, we enjoy the main menu items more consistently. Highly recommend this spot!“

“We ordered the stir-fried hand-pulled noodles, beef chow mein, garlic naan, grilled lamb chops, lamb skewers, and baked buns.

As someone from Henan, I thought the stir-fried hand-pulled noodles tasted somewhat similar to the style back home, and overall it was probably the best dish we had this time. The garlic naan was decent, and the lamb skewers were also okay.

However, the grilled lamb chops were disappointing. The meat was way too tough and almost impossible to chew. After we mentioned it to the staff, they kindly removed the dish from our bill, which I appreciated.

Later, we also ordered beef chow mein and baked buns. The beef chow mein was pretty average. As for the baked buns, it did seem like there was more meat filling than before, but the flavor was different from what I remembered. They weren’t as fragrant, didn’t have much juice inside, and overall tasted a bit dry, so they weren’t really to my taste.

Overall, the food here feels different from when the restaurant first opened, and I’m not sure if the chef has changed. Based on the dishes I tried this time, I’d say the stir-fried hand-pulled noodles are still worth trying, but I’d be cautious about ordering the other dishes. I also visited the Mountain View location for lunch, but personally I wouldn’t recommend that one either, since they didn’t have stir-fried noodle dishes and only offered soup noodles.“

“We enjoyed they chapli kebab, I would say this is my favorite spot to get it actually. Great portion for the price! We tried the Mantu and that was our first time ever trying and I could say it was delicious and a great first experience for Mantu.“

“For romantic atmosphere and healthy options“

“Amazing burger, amazing tastes, the best cheese burger I have ever had in Falafel flame Hayward mission blvd. I strongly recommend this area for everyone Best of luck Hashmatullah faqiri“

“Delicious burgers with options to suit all tastes. They have beef, chicken, and veggie patties as well as some without Pakistani spices for picky eaters like my daughter. They also have loaded quesadillas with fries and their signature spicy sauce which are amazing. They also have a good variety of shakes. We’ve had the mango and the Oreo Never Boreo.“

“Went in to drop my ballot and had breakfast. A tuna sandwich with coffee. The owner was very helpful and friendly. I will definitely go back again. Lots of table to sit and a nice place to catch food before or after taking the ACE or Amtrak train ride.“

“We are from Connecticut, and during a recent trip to the Bay Area, we had the extreme good fortune to try the Afghan Awasana Kabob House. Oh my ... what an experience! The food was superb … an epicurean delight, but also plentiful, and very reasonably priced. The qabuli palow - a lamb shank dish was a standout, and the squash bolani - a stuffed flatbread was out of this world. The owner was very friendly during dinner, only to be surpassed by what happened after our dinner. Upon leaving, our car would not start. The owner offered to jump start our car. When that did not work, he offered us a ride back to the house where we were staying ... which we gratefully accepted. On the way, while we were thanking him profusely, he indicated that this was not an imposition as he routinely gave rides to his workers. I was moved to tears with his generosity. The Afghan Awasana Kabob House stimulated my palate, satiated my appetite, and above all, nourished my soul with renewed faith in the kindness of humanity. A truly memorable evening that will not soon be forgotten.“

“I just stopped by for a quick meal, had the lamb kebabs plate. The kebabs were very tasty, nicely cooked and everything else on the plate was extremely fresh and flavorful. The place is very clean, the service was very friendly also. Will come back again for sure.“

“When I search for a burrito I’m looking for the biggest messiest flavor packed burrito I can find—Casa Maria’s birria burrito had me on the floor. I went back the next day for the shredded chicken and it was quality meat soaked in a delicious sauce. The spicy salsa was thick, spicy, and amazing. They do not skimp here. They are also friendly and clean. Impressed all around. Don’t hesitate, eat here.“

“Very good food with good service. Definitely, recommend for a visit“

“If you think Panda Express is good… this is straight Michelin star compared to it!!! The best halal Chinese food in the Bay Area!!! It’s Panda Express style so you get to pick your plate & what you would like it’s always fresh!!! The portion sizes are really generous also!!!“

“Finally made the 90-minute trek to Dave’s Hot Chicken with the fam! 🍗 The vibe was great—super friendly staff and a very clean spot despite the crowd. The chicken was fresh, hot, and delicious. Only downside was no cheese sticks today, but that just gives us an excuse to come back soon!“

“Simply amazing food and incredibly awesome staff ❤️👍 My addiction to ho here and eat ❤️❤️❤️ I just wish there was a Dish Dash in South San Francisco or close by 😕🙏“

“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.“

“Amazing food highly recommend“

“The food was pretty good and the hand-made tortillas was something unique. I received a good service by the staff. Also, when i tried the camarones empanesados it was on the spot. Thumbs up. However, i feel like prices should be shown because I wasn't able to see until I got my bill.“

“The food is absolutely delicious, flavorful served with quality ingredients. I have a sensitive stomach but every dish tried works for me with no issues (as the ingredients used are high quality I suppose)

The staff at Sunnyvale are welcoming, friendly and have the best service.

It’s a very popular place. So glad they arrived at Sunnyvale. Now the need to open a location in San Jose.

Had the silver spoon chicken boti roll, paneer tikka masala, naans and I can’t recall the last dish but it was the rotisserie chicken style ( oh that was so great). Their tea was so also awesome.

Will be back!“

“Being part Burmese, I was very impressed with Burma Bay Cafe’s delicious dishes! Great service too. I’ll definitely be back.“

“One of the kind gem, meat lovers paradise without breaking the bank. The quality of the beef was spectacular and the rotisserie chicken right on point. From what I can see, it appears to be a family business so they take pride on the food and service“

“Best burger In town! Recommend.“

“Great food! Can’t wait for the Irvine location to open! It will definitely be worth the drive from San Diego!“

“Had an amazing lunch at Naga's Kitchen! Ordered the biryani, coriander paneer masala, and masala chaas - and honestly, I'm still thinking about that meal.

The coriander paneer masala was absolutely phenomenal. The flavors were so authentic and rich, it instantly reminded me of the incredible paneer dishes I had in Hyderabad. You can tell they really know what they're doing in the kitchen - the spices were perfectly balanced and the paneer was so tender.

The masala chaas was such a nice touch too. It had that nostalgic, comforting taste that reminded me of the refreshing drinks you get at railway stations during long train journeys. Simple but so satisfying.

The biryani was fragrant and flavorful. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. Will definitely be coming back soon - this place is a gem! Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic Indian flavors.“

“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 .“

“Hey Haji ur food is superb. Ambience is Good. But my issue is tht near ur restaurant there is a physical office of meta , plz take my complain to them. They keep on suspending my account for no reason 😭, neither they give me any warnings . I m fed up, there was almost no violation. And I can't contact them as whole system is automated. Thanks brah“

“Excellent food, excellent taste reasonable price“

“Nice and clean environment. Delicious food.“

“Food is by far superb! A must try and check out the place. Food is C delicious you will love it and waiters are extra friendly“

“Will be coming back to try the Xtra Hot and Holy Chick. Decided to start at HOT which already contains ghost pepper.

I got the hot tender and I got my wife the medium sandwich. She said that the medium wasn't that spicy (she can handle spicy tho). And for me the hot was a decent heat level and very enjoyable with some honey.

I personally wouldn't get the mad again though. Didn't care for the flavor or the sauce texture. Just generic tasting.

Looking forward to coming back and trying the Xtra Hot.“

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

“This is a nice go to spot but be warned it's not your avg sit down dinning area. Consider more of a ghost kitchen with a name attached. They offer alot of the standard food items but are restricted to certain days for more popular menu items. Service is friendly and fast.“

“Finally made the 90-minute trek to Dave’s Hot Chicken with the fam! 🍗 The vibe was great—super friendly staff and a very clean spot despite the crowd. The chicken was fresh, hot, and delicious. Only downside was no cheese sticks today, but that just gives us an excuse to come back soon!“

“The Fish Pakora at Favorite Indian Restaurant in Hayward is always fresh, crispy, and bursting with flavor. A must-try appetizer that pairs perfectly with their chutneys“

“The service was great, food was brought out quick and all of it was so delicious. Will be back again.“

“This is an amazing restaurant! Their food is great. We’ve catered big orders from them twice, and they’ve never let us down—their prices are fair, and they’re always on time. They have a wide variety of halal options, and their staff is personable and friendly. 10/10 recommend.“

“Went to this spot on Sunday and ordered three King Kong-size pizzas — Chipotle, Mexican, and Mixed — and let me tell you, they were incredible! Each pizza was massive, easily feeding 10+ hungry people (and probably more). The flavors were phenomenal — perfectly balanced, fresh, and full of flavor.

The owner was also one of the kindest people we’ve met. He went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests, and when he found out we were visiting from out of town, he even surprised us with extra food!

If you haven’t tried this place yet, you absolutely should. Everything is 100% halal and HFSAA-certified, the place is clean, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommended!“
