“I’ve ordered the same dish from here twice, the Chicken Gyro Plate, in the past two weeks. The portion is great, the food is delicious and worth a try! The location is a bit sketchy and the restaurant itself is a basic “take away” joint. The staff is friendly and quick. Rating 4 Stars because one day I went, the chicken was on the dry side and the next time I went, the chicken was moist and really good. It’s obvious the flavors and quality differ based on who cooks it. Yet I will go again, as it’s still worth it.“
“The owner is the chef. He is kind, friendly and generous. The food is all fresh, and made at the moment with care (and very fast since he has a great oven). The portions are generous and the flavor is amazing. I was greatly surprised. Great fresh ingredients and great flavor. You have to try it.The place itself is simple and looks more like a place to take food for home. I know it has some chairs and tables outside, but I don't care to take the food home. We had a great dinner.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“Want a warm welcome and sweet treats while you wait for healthy excellent food??? We do!This is the best thing about Arden.Just heard he was hit by an out of control driver.Wishing he isn't hurt and that he can get back to serving the best food in Sacramento.Vegetarian options: The spicy sauce on the falafel salad is so wonderful.“

“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.“
“This place has reopened under a different name and very similar offerings. The management is incredibly nice, and the grocery aisles have plenty to choose from. They also have a counter serve restaurant in the back if the store with seating, and fresh baked breads that are delicious. They have freshly roasted rotisserie meats for shawarmas!“
“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.“
“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.“
“I've been eating Persian food from Famous Kabob since I was 13 years old. Over 32 years and I love my Joojeh Barg Basmati with Safron. Homemade Nan aka bread. This is Pele's Favorite Extra Sumac. The portions are quite generous my food is always fresh and hot. Chicken perfectly marinated seasoned and cooked tenderly. Not sure how people complain about prices. You can spend $20 on a nasty fast food meal or spend $25 and get delicious Persian Food that is enough for 2-3 meals. If I could I would eat Persian Food from Famous Kabob every day!!!“
“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.“
