Kebab near Redwood City, CA

“I have to say, I’ve had quite a journey when it comes to my opinion of this place.

The fact of the matter is that I have found the following to hold true:

1. Redwood City is far away from everything
2. The parking situation is abysmal
3. There is never a table ready when you get there
4. The food is expensive

For these reasons I used to avoid going there- not because of the food quality but it wasn’t worth going there in lieu all these things.

That being said, their meat is great, the vibes are great, and their service is great. Their beef kofta is sublime, and I have to say their falafel isn’t too bad either. They also have a pretty good frozen date juice that I enjoyed.

If you don’t mind the 4 things I listed (I am personally starting to care less and less about them in lieu of the amazing food), definitely go. This is probably the best Arab food I’ve had in the Bay Area.“

“Ever since I walked into this restaurant, I instantly fell in love. The clean, healthy, tasty, perfectly portioned sized, and masterly prepared dishes by Ali, and his friendly staff, keep me coming back. My new favorites are the lentil soup, and lamb shank (limited menu special). Satisfying food experience I highly recommend.“

“We got a combo doner (gyro) wrap. I am picky about doner, it is very hard for me to like if it is not really good. But this doner was amazing! Juicy, well cooked, tasty. No additional sauce in the wrap, just like the real Turkish doner! I highly recommend this place. And I’ll definitely try the other meal options in the future.“

“The vibes are pristine. The environment in the restaurant is bright, beautiful and genuinely welcoming. The food came relatively quickly, and every single item was fresh and genuinely made from scratch and with love. The hummus - and surprisingly given the restaurant’s name - was for me in many ways the star of the show. Every meat was cooked pretty impeccably.

I am personally not a fan of the positive of seasoning and salt. That underscores much of Mediterranean gastronomical persuasions, but respect the art enough to know that these guys will deliver. The servers were respectful and had a dutiful energy about them insofar as they seem to take pride and the commitment to good service. Was it the most excellent Mediterranean food I’ve ever had in my life? No. But if you’re in the area and you want a very memorable, aesthetic restaurant experience in a vibe-forward, sort of way, you have to pay them a visit.“

“Had lunch At Gourmet Gyros & Kebabs for the first time and can’t believe I’ve been missing out! The food is so fresh and delicious 🤤 including their desserts!!“
