0 stars.2 times in a row, I went there and they told me they were closed. The closing time says 8pm but for some reason they closed 2 hours ahead. There were staff inside, lights on, but they said closed. Bad communication

Not bad, but the other reviews had me expecting more from the chicken box. Maybe I hit them on a bad day.The eggplant salad was amazing though. I could have eaten just that with some bread.

Want to try Turkish classic? A bakery chef from Turkey! This might be the place for those who misses the taste from Turkey! Amazing beef borek! Soft and yummy! I highly recommend this place! They are new, probably there menu will expand with other goodies!

Wonderful food, kid and grandparent approved, really big portion, will last us several days.

I've been wanting to try this place for some time as I love Greek food and it is a great upgrade to Subway. However, maybe I went on a bad day. The Gyro wrap was more like a cold hot pocket, with one thin layer of lamb/beef and a doughy wrap. I guess I should have tried the plate special, but at this point I'm a little too disappointed to go back. Maybe the rent is higher than they budgeted for a thick wrap of meat and vegetables. I do with them the best.

The flavor was absolutely unreal. I got the falafel box, and I added hot sauce and dolma. I would eat here every single week if I were in the area. The menu is small but mighty.You'll get your food within a minute of ordering at a fantastic price. I can't overstate how impressed I am by how delicious this food was, from the tzatziki sauce, to the eggplant, to the hummus, to the perfectly tender falafel.

Overhyped, indeed. I'm perfectly fine with a place that serves excellent food and adds a touch of attitude, but if the cuisine falls short and they present it as the pinnacle of Mediterranean fare, it's time for a reality check. Firstly, the wrap is drowning in excessive salt. Secondly, it seems like the meat has been sitting around since the night before, far from the ideal fresh-off-the-spit experience. Lastly, who in the Mediterranean serves their dishes with steamed (white, non-saffron) rice? Don't be swayed by the reviews here, folks. I'm well-acquainted with authentic Mediterranean cuisine, and this just doesn't measure up. To make matters worse, their beverage dispenser has been out of order for days (trust me, I gave this shop another chance). SMH. For $15, you can enjoy a much more satisfying Mediterranean meal at either the Kebab Shop or Halal Guys.

Wow. This place is fuego!!! Gyro box chicken box both fire. The wraps are unreal good to! Can't believe I didn't know about this place! Definitely will be back many times the meat is top shelf and fresh, very tender and flavorful. Portions are friendly and prices are fair. Must have!!

Food is good here, but I got the falafel so if you are a meat eater my opinion does not count. Pretty easy menu and setup. My falafel plate was really good not too salty and had the right texture. He gave me a fair portion of rice, hummus, eggplant, salad and tzatziki. Service was quick and easy and the ambiance is pretty quite for the most part.

Don't let the look fool you. Jimmy's Cafe is not your regular Cafe. It's packed with flavors and personnality. Come say hello to Jimmy who has been following his father's footstep since 7 years old. This little gem in south part of Palo Alto will steal your heart in a second! Great food and great company! Enjoy a delightful meal at Jimmy's today!

Loved the variety in the gyro box. A good, filling, healthy meal at a reasonable price. The eggplant salad was especially delicious. Will be back.
