Hands down best Gyro I’ve had since visiting Denmark. The seasoned fries paired with their ranch and smokey barbecue sauces were divine. The atmosphere is very friendly and the dine-in aesthetic was quaint. HIGHLY recommend OakTown Kabobs with my boy Farzad.

Holy hole in the wall!!! We needed a place to grab food with our kids post-zoo trip and this hit the spot in every way.
Extremely unassuming exterior, but we were very pleasantly surprised it had 5 parking spots attached to the building. Only one table inside plus two window seat areas, but it was very clean and inviting. The staff was friendly, helpful and were SO nice to our 2 and 4yo. Vast Majority of the menu has zero spiciness which was great for our kids who still only aspire to like spicy. They had a couple takeout orders picked up while we were there (this was 6-7p on a Saturday).
-pita + hummus - this is when I knew we were in for a treat. We got this as a starter to help tie hangry kids over. The pita was amazing and the hummus spices were so good. If my 4yo hadn't loved it so much I probably would've eaten it all myself before the other dishes showed up.
- lamb shank was truly fall off the bone meltingly amazing. The sauce was also so good. My 4yo couldn't get enough! It came with a full plate of flavorful spiced basmati rice that my 2yo ate by the handful + perfectly crisp fresh salad. The amazing salad dressing meant I couldn't help but eat most of it... which is saying something because I'm usually averse to cucumbers.
- combo kebab with chicken and tikkah was well cooked, moist and not dry. Our 4yo also gave the chicken a thumbs up too.
While we live far away in South Bay, we will definitely be back again next zoo visit. Can’t wait!

Absolutely amazing! Oaktown Kabobs has quickly become one of my go-to spots for delicious, flavorful food. Everything is always so fresh and perfectly cooked — you can tell they really care about quality and taste. The chicken kabobs are juicy and tender, the rice is fluffy and seasoned just right, and the sauces? Next level.
The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the service is fast and efficient. You can feel the love they put into their food and their customer care. Whether you’re picking up a quick bite or enjoying a full meal, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend for anyone craving bold, satisfying Mediterranean flavors!

Friends recently moved nearby so we decided to give them a try. The food was delicious, family who owns/runs it are delightful and accommodating, and the prices are reasonable. We did take out so cannot comment on atmosphere.

Perfect spot super close to the zoo! Family went here for some healthy food. We got Mediterranean salads and O salads and they were made fresh and were delicious.
The service was also incredible and friendly!

Ordered through DoorDash. Lamb
Kabobs seared rare. God well done shoulder chops instead. Inedible.
“Greek Salad” was almost only lettuce and salad dressing was so hot, the first serving was inedible! Only the bakalava was any any good! Never order from them again!

Got out of Oakland Zoo and found this place next to a liquor store but the food is deceptively tasteful vs the neighborhood. We order 2 gyros and a lamb bowl. Besides the ample portion, the meats (lamb, steak and chicken) are well marinated and tender. The lamb is not gamy at all. The fries that come with the order are so seasoned such that ketchup would actually ruin it.
Will definitely revisit next time I visit the zoo.
