Turkish Restaurants near Redwood City, CA

“What a lovely find in Redwood City! The decor is a bit basic but there is an outside dining area which looks very nice.We had the large mezze platter and chicken kebab. Very delicious. The owner/chef was very kind and helped with the selection of gluten free options.“

“Excellent food, drinks and service.“

“I had dinner with my husband this evening. The food and service were excellent. Both of us agreed that this was one of the best Mediterranean food we had thus far. Everything from the hummus, pomegranate salad, chicken curry and the lamb kebab to the rice and vegetables were flavorful and so well seasoned. The lamb kebab was grilled to perfection and the portion size was great. Thank you for preparing such a great meal. We highly recommend this restaurant!!“

“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!“

“A Hidden Gem!
Don’t let the name fool you—Meditation Pizza and Gyros is actually a go-to spot for incredible Turkish food. The Adana kebap is grilled to perfection—spicy, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Pair it with their fluffy rice and salad, and you’re golden.

Their pide is equally amazing—crispy edges, soft center, and topped with melty cheese or savory meats. It’s the ultimate comfort food.

And please, whatever you do, save room for the künefe. This dessert is a masterpiece—warm, crispy, gooey cheese soaked in sweet syrup and topped with pistachios. It’s the kind of thing you close your eyes for after the first bite.

Great food, kind service, cozy vibe—this place has earned a permanent spot on my favorites list.“

“Our second visit in the past 2 weeks - returned for birthday celebratiuon since the food was outstanding last time. Food still very good, but this time we did not get to really order ourselves, given the over-helpful staff and the group dynamic. Still had a wonderful time outside with our 2 year old and a bunch of pups, the only slight ding is the staff is almost TOO helpful, sometimes overriding my wishes :) Still highly recommended.“

“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.“

“I love this restaurant so much, it’s the best on Burlingame Avenue! Their food has so much flavor and never misses. Their chicken yuro plate is so delicious! They always have great surface. You need to eat dinner here the next time you’re on the ave.“

“I spent a few weeks in Xinjiang a million years ago and ate laghman -- the Uyghur's national dish -- two or three times a day. Loved it loved it loved it. Hadn't had any in over 25 years, then recently moved to the area and saw that downtown Menlo Park had a Uyghur place. Woo hoo!

The noodles and sauce are perfect. (The meat is surprisingly low-quality so I ask for it without the meat and just get some flank steak slicked up for stir-fry at Whole Foods and cook that up at home to add.) The portion is generous and the dish keeps well in the fridge for a few days.“

“Delicious authentic Turkish food. We came here twice, and both times were great. We met the restaurant owner who was very gracious and kind and server is tea with Kadaifi. Quick service, clean restaurant, delicious food. Will definitely come by anytime we're in town.“

“We ordered the house combo and it was very tasty. It came with 4 meats(chicken,beef,gyro ,koftedes). All of the meat was juicy,tender and well seasoned. The rice. was fluffy ans delicious. The mixed green salad had tomatoes amd cucumber and was topped with a pickled cabbage and dressed to perfection. I only had a small bite of the pita because rhe meal was so filling. I can't wait to try the baklava we ordered. What a great find. I will definitely be going back to this restaurant.“
