Middle Eastern Restaurants near Palo Alto, CA

“Excellent food, drinks and service.“

“Tasty and healthy food at the right price. I ate here twice after hiking in Palo Alto and one of the best wraps I have ever had“

“This was my first time trying this spot and as a first time costumer I went ahead and ordered the chicken Kobe something wrap. I switched the pickles to cucumbers and I must say THIS WAS THE BEST CHICKEN WRAP I EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!🤯🔥

Currently my daughter has 6 more months of Chemo to go and I’m really looking froward to have more chicken wraps for the upcoming visits 🙈“

“The red and green sauce are off the hook!“

“Absolutely exquisite food that comes out fresh. Service was amazing & the people even though busy were very very helpful. Can't recommend this place & food enough.“

“Been coming here since they opened. Lemon slices with water is awesome but I do have one complaint is the recent change to their chicken sumac recipe changed and my kids can’t eat the new saltier and spiced up recipe. Even the chicken shawarma is kind of spicy now and unable to feed to children. I hope you can fix this.“

“Great place for a quick yet freshly made Mediterranean food! We tried the falafel pita wrap with babaganoush and fries + chicken shawarma with rice , hummus and and walnut pepper dip (just so amazing). The chicken was succulent and perfectly spiced and the falafel was crispy yet light. Love all their sides and extra sauces too. Don’t miss out on the freshly squeezed juices- orange carrot was my favorite!“

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

“I come here many times, it was always nice food but this time disappointed. Shawarma wasnt tazah( fresh) maybe from the previous day and too much white sauce in it. I got only 3 bites. I gave u 5 star this time coz l loved their food before.“

“Fantastic experience and absolutely amazing food! Carla our server did an incredible job recommending certain options. We tried pita falafel sandwich, Mahmara dip with chips and then gluten free chcolate mousse along with handmade baklava for desserts. Great food and authentic food, we will be back for sure!!“

“I and two friends dined at Chelokababi Restaurant on Saturday evening, December 17, 2022. It was our first experience at this beautiful and comfortable establishment, and we were impressed with the food and service. I and one friend had Geymeh Bademjoon, which was delicious and very satisfying. My other friend had Shish Kabob with salad, and he said he enjoyed it. I would dine here regularly if I didn't live in Seattle!“

“If you're a lover of NYC-style halal cart food, or you go crazy for falafel, hummus or babaganoush, this spot is a must visit.

The NYC-style chicken and gyro over rice is solid AF. Flavorful rice, juicy chicken, gyro nicely spiced. The falafels are crispy and herby. All the condiments and sauces included in the platters complement the mains so well. This is a go-to spot for me whenever I'm in Redwood City and need a quick bite.“

“Excellent food, drinks and service.“

“great place and nice food“

“Very good Turkisk food, great outdoor seating front and back, and always friendly staff. State St. has some of the best restaurants in beautiful Los Altos!“

“Zadna is wonderful.The food is absolutely delicious and the people are fabulous. Please make sure to support them.They deserve it.“

“At first glance, I was disappointed by the place as it was take out only. I had the Falafelle combo plus vegan Baklava. There was so much variety and lots of food. Loved the falafel, dolmas, pita. The sides were excellent with tabbouleh, sauerkrauts, salads. Very scrumptious. I thought the baklava was ok but husband really loved it. In any case, was really happy to have one as I haven’t found a vegan baklava in years!“

“Welcoming atmosphere, very kind staff, and wonderful food!“

“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 .“

“Went for a birthday party on a Sunday night. The staff was nice and the Afghan food was yummy. Lots of food, dancing and music. Had a very good time. The qaubli rice and the kebabs were good. Especially the chicken which was tasty and moist. Often chicken kebab is a bit dry but they cook it just right at Maiwand Village. My son loves it and likes the Chapli too. I love the pakora (sliced,battered and fried potato).“

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

“good food and helpful service“

“What a gem and food was so generous and good quality! Owner Jonathan and staff are amazing! Treat you like family even tho it was my first visit. Offered to let me try so many small sides on the house just so I could try more items on the menu. If eaten immediately at the restaurant, everything was crispy and seasoned perfectly, not greasy at all. Will be back and definitely recommending to friends.

Businesses like this is what make the bay amazing!“

“I was visiting the area and found this place on Maps near my hotel. WOW what a find! It was hard making a decision, because everything on the menu sounded great. I got a kefta kebab plate: 3 big pieces of kefta on yellow rice with roasted veggies. It came with a nice salad with lots of finely chopped Persian cucumbers, and a very generous dollop of hummus. And, of course, a lovely big pita. This made dinner last night and lunch today. So yummy. If you like spice, say YES to the hot sauce! Tangy and delicious.
