“Delicious fresh Mediterranean Food!!! I have been here about 5 times now and everytime I am satisfied. The first menu Item I tried was the Chicken&Rice plate with they're spicy urban sauce that is very good! Today I decided to have the Urban Green Salad w/dressing that comes with it and was like everything else, fresh and delicious!“
“I usually don't come into a place 15 mins before they close but I did tonight and I really appreciate that they didn't seem put out about it. I was somewhat familiar with what I wanted and the guy at the counter patiently answered my questions. Very good food and very good service.“
“I got the butter chicken plate in a combo with fries, my husband got the butter chicken gyro with fries. The butter chicken is very good and the rice is incredibly fragrant and flavorful. The salad that came with it had shredded lettuce, cucumber and a very nice creamy dressing. The fries are a less peppery and less greasy version of what you would get a Rally's/Checkers, very good. They play really nice relaxing synth-pop covers of popular songs that we also really enjoyed. The soda machine is in the dining area, so you can refill as needed. The person who took our order was super nice and helpful. Would highly recommend.Kid-friendliness: Nice, family friendly music, soccer on the TV, nice staff.“
“This is my husband's go to spot whenever he goes into the office. He always raves about their gyro salad, so I had to try for myself. Upon ordering, service was super quick! If you're in a pickle of time and want something delicious and hearty--this place is the way to go. We ordered their salad! Initial thought of their salad was that it was huge! I really thought I wouldn't be able to finish it, but I did. It was that good. The blend of flavors really meshes well, and it doesn't leave you feeling to bleh at the end. A right amount of everything. The tzatziki sauce was a great touch to the vinaigrette dressing. A little on the pricier side, but still think it's worth it.“
“This was a big favorite of ours until it closed during covid and went out of business which we lamented greatly. The new owners have kept the name, most of the decor although we were told today a few changes in that are coming. The menu seems very similar to me and the lamb shank that I was so fond of was just as good. The two friends that went with me today had never been there and they both loved it and can't wait to go back. We all had the lamb shank and the eggplant appetiser.“
“This place is amazing. The burger is heavenly, the sauce, tomatoes, lettuce, and onions harmonize together like beethovens symphony. Amazing service.Vegetarian options: Excellent options.Kid-friendliness: Good kid friendliness. The burger is perfect for children.“
“I had a fantastic experience at this Mediterranean restaurant. Excellent food, friendly service, and a lovely location with outdoor seating to enjoy the picturesque view of Folsom Auburn Road. They offer various drink options, and the outdoor umbrella and tables add to the dining experience. The Falafel was amazing, with a crispy exterior and a delicious, tender interior. The combination of meat, rice, and salad was delightful, closely resembling the Persian specialty featuring meat marinated with delectable Mediterranean spices. I think the hummus was homemade, but anyway, it was delicious. Overall, it's a very pleasant and relaxing place.“
“I came here with my family, the food was delicious, I highly recommend Tikka Kabab, Chopan/Shepherd Kabab, Kabab Kobida and the original Uzbeki Palaw. Prices are fair and staff were super respectful and friendly.Environment can be improved.“
“Decided to give it a try and did not disappoint. Such a good price for how amazing the food was. I was told 10 minutes, 10 minutes later as I was about to exit my car, one of the workers walked out in the rain to hand me my food. Amazing food and amazing service:)“
“Everything I've tried here is fantastic. They give you very generous portions for a great price! Super nice people who own and run it. Even after moving farther away we still drive to get it! All their hummus flavors are delicious, such a cute hidden gem!“
“Sorry, no photo (s), it was that good! I got the lamb and rice plate and I was in heaven!!! I didn't realize I was that hungry lol I truly recommend Mykonos Gyros to anyone who wants incredible food with a taste of Greece ? OH boy will I be back as I work in the Arden area. This food truck was an amazing idea put into action in sharing a wonderful experience with your taste buds, heart, soul. Please stop by and support this great lady!!! She deserves love and happiness from food lovers. ❤️“
“The food here is absolutely delicious! It is a must try! The menu is great and the food is even better! The owner is super kind and extremely informative if it's your 1st time here! Definitely in my top three restaurants in citrus heights!Vegetarian options: Everything that I have tried is delicious!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly and my son loves it here!Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible..“
“I wanted to try authentic, traditional Palestinian food to show my solidarity with their people's struggle for freedom. I was visiting my sister in Sacramento, and she recommended Basha Taste of Jerusalem. They start you off with complimentary fresh baked flat bread and olive oil which tasted divine! We ordered the "Mansaf" lamb and chicken dish, and the "Maqluba" upside-down chicken and rice dish. It was absolutely phenomenal! The portions are very generous and we had lots of left overs to-go that tasted just as great the next day. I loved the interior décor and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town to try more dishes that are not common at generic "Middle Eastern / Mediterranean" restaurants.“
“Kabob House is a delightful surprise! I stumbled upon this gem while searching for another restaurant, and I couldn't be happier. The food here is outstanding – the kabobs are flavorful and cooked to perfection. What started as a chance encounter has turned me into a huge fan. The friendly service and cozy atmosphere make every visit a pleasure. If you're in the area, don't miss the opportunity to experience the culinary delights at Kabob House!“
“I recently visited Cali Gyro, and it was amazing! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were so friendly. The gyro platter I had was delicious, with tender meat and flavorful tzatziki sauce. They offer a variety of other Mediterranean dishes too. If you're craving some tasty Greek food, Cali Gyro is the place to go!“
“This place is a hidden gem! Came here a couple months ago and had the lamb shank and was absolutely blown away by the generous portions, flavor and freshness! Came again for the second time to try their kabobs and was mind blown once again! Most Mediterranean places take a while to prepare the food but here it was surprisingly fast! Not only is it great food but also amazing service, the staff make you feel welcome and go above and beyond. I can't wait to go back!“

“My daughter and I went here for the first time on Friday, March 1. We ordered gyros and I asked if they had any hot drinks. The Man said no but offered me some of the black Rea he had made for himself. I thanked him and declined because I am allergic to caffeine. We paid and went and sat down to wait for our food. It was rainy, windy, and chilly outside and it was nice to sit at a comfirtable booth. The Man brought us our food and it was delicious! A few minutes later her brought me a cup of saffron tea he had made for me. I was so grateful and thanked him and gave it to my daughter because I am allergic to Saffron too. He said he would bring me a cup of hot water. I thanked him again. This man went above and beyond. My daughter lived the tea and I enjoyed the hot water on a cold windy, rainy day.Great food and service.“
“I wish I would have taken pictures of my food but I doubt they would have done this review any justice. I ordered the chicken gyro, chicken Philly and a lamb/steak Philly via phone call and the person (male) taking the order was pleasant and articulate enough to understand him. He repeated the order back to me twice and asked if I wanted to make my food spicy and then made sure he had it down right and gave me an estimated wait time of 15. I got there 20 minutes later and my food was ready and I was immediately welcomed with a smile and a courteous “hi, are you here for pickup? “. I’m so surprised the place was empty and I was a bit scared that maybe it wasn’t a good sign but when I went in the car and opened my food I was pleased at how big my portions were meaning there was plenty of meat and chicken on my gyro so I know I wasn’t being ripped off like in other places where they give you 5 pieces of lamb or steak for the amount you pay . The food is extremely affordable compared to other afghan/ gyro places and the meat given is soooo much more compared to others too. My husband and I took a big bite and we couldn’t stop eating even after being full. The food was so good; the chicken was so juicy and full of flavor and it tasted fresh. I also need to clarify that the “juicy” part of the meals had nothing to do with grease or too much left over oil this place really knows how to make their food so delicious without feeling like you bit into straight up oil. I did not have any stomach issues after eating and it definitely wasn’t salty so I’d recommend this place to people with sodium restrictions. The two gentlemen went above and beyond from the first call all the way til my food was given to me with a smile. Overall I would definitely recommend this place to anyone craving a “middle eastern” food item and for welcoming service. I do have ONE complaint and that is their parking availability, the entrance is tight and there is limited parking so I can see how this would be difficult to visit during rush hour times. Do try this place out!Dietary restrictions: Low sodium, customizable options“
“Most amazing Gyro i've ever had... Tender tasty meat lots of produce amazing garlic yogurt sauce with a fresh pita. Much much bigger than any yro i've had and much better, too. I got the combo with the salad and drink. It came out to $16 which is about the same price as a big Mac meal. But much healthier and tastier. The salad was phenomenal, and there were lots of fresh produce cucumbers. Tomatoes, onion's lettuce with great sauce and big portions.“
“Wow!! Debbie, and Alondra were wonderful.I love coming in to see them smiling. So friendly and sincere every time I come in.And not once have I been disappointed by the food. Everything's always fresh and so good!!Definitely worth checking out. Thankyou for the great service!!“
“Okay...so I have been hearing about this place called Nick The Greek and I love Mediterranean food AND as it so happens, one opened right around the corner of my home. It is located on the corner near Sunrise and Madison in Fair Oaks. The manager (Alexis) was very helpful with choices and made my experience most enjoyable. The food was outstanding(I had the Lamb/Beef wrap and my wife had the Chicken wrap) both equally delicious. The service was on spot on and the people were friendly. It has indoor and outdoor seating. So, if you are in the area and hungry for some excellent Greek food. Check this place out. You won't be disappointed.“

“I recently dined at the Mediterranean Family Restaurant in Citrus Heights and we had a pleasant experience overall. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home.The food was good and had a nice authentic Mediterranean flavor to it. However, we did find that the rice served with our dishes was a little hard. Aside from that, everything else we ordered was delicious and satisfying.The service was excellent, with our server being attentive and accommodating to our needs. Overall, we had a great time dining at this establishment and would definitely consider returning in the future. It's a nice family-owned spot that serves up some tasty Mediterranean food. I'd recommend giving it a try.“
“Found this little gem today. Was pleasantly surprised by the wide selection of food. Ordered a "plate" with gyro as the main dish. The plate included gyro, rice (choice of 3 kinds - they suggested some of each - turned out to be a great choice), salad, beans, there was a dressing on top. It was simply delicious!! Hot, quick and the service was wonderful. Did I say the service was great! They have a nice selection of baklava or other desserts. Simple surroundings. Highly recommend ..“
“The service was great and the guy helping me order was super nice and helpful when I picked my order. I got the mixed fries with lamb and chicken. The chicken is slightly spicy because it's marinated in some red spicy sauce. The lamb and chicken were both super moist and really nice. The sauces on top were super good and even though the sauce was all over, the fries weren't soggy and still crisp. I eat a lot and I barely finished the fries. You could easily feed two with one fry order. (I took the picture after I had already taken some bites, it looked a lot prettier than this)“

“Little place that mostly does delivery and hall rental plus catering. The staff mostly are Muslim, but I think they might be Afghan, because they knew little English, and didn't respond well to Arabic, French, Persian, or Greek. Dine-in was very limited, but the food was great. It mostly Greek, Arabic, and Mediterranean in substance. Probably hallal, but I didn't see that explicitly stated anywhere.Great food, not up to serving diners on site. We had to ask to get water, and they gave us bottled water. We ordered tea and had to ask for it several times. Still nice people, just very limited English. Moderately recommend. Order ahead, and get the food to go. Don't eat on site.“
“Used to come here on a regular basis when I traveled to the area 5 years ago. Would sit at the bar and was treated as a local. Came back tonight, sat at the bar, I felt like a local again, thank you Mario for great dinner! Seafood pasta was delicious!“
“We were looking for an authentic Persian restaurant in the area and Kolbeh did not disappoint! My husband and I brought our 2 little ones with us which always makes me nervous in a fine dining situation but the staff was so friendly with us and kept the little ones entertained with the delicious bread basket while we waited for our food. We got the Soltani and Fesenjan with Bogoli Polo as the rice upgrade and it was DELICIOUS! I barely got to try the Koobideh because my 4 year old and 18 month old devoured it! The Barg was so tender and flavorful and by far my favorite! The Fesenjan was perfect and was completely gone by the end of our dish. The portion sizes are generous and the price is well worth the quality and flavor of the food. We will definitely be back!“
“The food was delicious and the service was even better. It felt like everyone that came in was treated like family. We had 7 with us and enjoyed the Greek fries, a couple gyros, a bacon cheeseburger, the Philly gyro and a classic cheeseburger. And a ton of fries. Everything was super flavorful and fresh. Thank you so much for a great experience.“
“Stopped by a couple months ago and finally getting around to making a post. I can't remember what I originally ordered, but it wasn't available and they offered an alternative which was the chicken kabob and I am glad they mentioned it because it was great. Also, the hookah and service were also decent and better priced than some other spots. Not to mention, the patio is a nice touch. I can tell this place garners some regulars too, which is a good sign to me. Definitely worth checking out and supporting this local business.“
“I don’t know how this place has only 4.3 stars… the food here is consistently delicious and traditional. The BEST baba ghanoush in town and delicious hummus / pita / falafel… the ambiance is slow but if you’re looking for lowkey this is a great place to relax and be left alone!!“
“Everyone needs to eat here. The food is delicious, affordable, and so fresh! The people who run it are very kind and the the pita bread is fresh baked and still hot from the oven. This is a hidden Sacramento gem! My new go-to when I'm in this neighborhood.“
“10 stars! We're never disappointed. Warmth and friendly service, generous serving. The beef samosas is mouth-watering and savory. Dipped it in the green sauce- I'm thinking it's mint, ooh-la-la! Must try! I had the red kabob special- oh so good. The salad is perfect! Black olives, lettuce, thin slices of red onions, tomatoes and onions with a light an mild dressing. Do you sell dressing? Grab aewof the salad with some Beef and rice, it just a pot of deliciousness in your mouth. The beef Chapli is delicious too, milder and tender made from ground beef. Same goodness! Try it today. You'll be hooked! Thank you Khorasan!“
“I think I've eaten at every Persian place in Sacramento by now, as well as a few of the Iraqi and Afghani places, and for sure there is a lot of great kabob and rice to be had at many of these places. I would rate Famous Kabob recently as one of the best. The Koubideh (ground beef) Kabob they serve is nicely cooked, tender, juicy, and the rice is always very good. I think I've been to this restaurant 6 or 7 times by now, and I'd say the quality has improved in the past couple of years. It's definitely a go-to when I need to place group orders for pickup.“
“I like the Bella Fruita for breakfast or the frittata / cheesy potatoes and mango iced tea. For lunch they have a good veggie burger or for those that like the impossible they have one of those too. When the weather is good, their outdoor seating is a great option.“
“Today was one of my coworkers' birthday, and so this is where our group took him to lunch! Never have I ever eaten Mediterranean food. I'm normally not a fan of cooked bell peppers and onions, but I decided to be adventurous and go ahead and try something new ? ? I was totally surprised about how much I really really liked it! I look forward to going to this cozy little place again! All the food is so fresh and flavorful. It was a very good lunch!“
“Yummy Kabob is an absolute hidden gem. A mom & pop restaurant with deep Armenian roots. The food, no matter what you order, is exceptional. The setting is old-school, traditional. Great real food, prepared by great people. I can't recommend it highly enough. I go there all the way from El Dorado Hills; it's that good.“
