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“

“Really cool place. The food is real quality, so many options.

However they won't add hummus or babba to a wrap, blame the manager. With a full deli on steroids and the ability to sell you any portion size on the side. It's very disheartening.

But this place is amazing. I would come back and really recommend it“

“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.“

“Wonderful Sunday lunch last week. The fried cauliflower florets starter was great. Nicely fried, not greasy with a good thick pesto labane sauce. We loved the muhamarra with the fried pita strips. Had some the next day and it was still fantastic. The chicken pita sandwich was good. My chickpea salad was tasty, but I wasn’t expecting the chickpeas to be so firm. The chocolate babka was great, not too sweet. The staff was attentive and the service was prompt. Nice atmosphere too, casual and welcoming.“

“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 😕🙏“

“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.“

“When it comes to Mediterranean food, Falafel Tazah truly stands out. I've been a loyal customer at all of their locations for over ten years, and I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal. Their chicken and veggie kabobs are my go-to favorites, and their falafels, hands down the best I've ever had. Their food certainly lives up to the name with that unmistakable fresh taste every single time.

The restaurant is always spotless and impeccably maintained, which adds to the whole experience. The owner is genuinely one of the friendliest people you'll meet and goes out of his way to make sure every customer leaves happy.

Keep up the amazing work, Team Falafel Tazah!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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 .“

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

“Excellent food, drinks and service.“

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

“Healthy, tasty, good portions, fair priced. No complaints. Ordered pickup via their website and order was ready as scheduled. I got the falafel container spicy ($14.20) without banana peppers and garbanzo beans, added baba ghannouj ($1.25). Everything was tasty. I'm not real into falafels but this one is probably the best quality one I've had. Crispy outside. Not dry. Sauces were not spicy at all but that's subjective. It's basically a takeout spot. Parking lots nearby are usually pretty busy. Worth a try“

“Fantastic Afghan food! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious — rich in flavor, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. Since each dish is made to order, there's a bit of a wait, but it’s well worth it.

Portions are generous — we ended up with enough leftovers for another full meal at home. The service was excellent too: warm, attentive, and made the experience even better.

If you're in the area and craving something authentic and satisfying, this place is a must!“

“good food and helpful service“

“I used to come here all the time years ago and just passed by the area again. Let me tell you not a single molecule of quality has been lost over the years. The falafel salad is a masterpiece. Whoever runs this place deserves their success - staying this loyal to the mission for this long ain't easy but they are dialed.“

“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.

Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, baba ganouj

Dietary restrictions: Halal meat“
