A total gem ? if you have not eaten here, definitely go for lunch and you will be impressed and satiated. I love the way they present the food so you can see everything and make your choices.“

“I had lunch here on a Sunday, shortly after they opened up. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. I had hummus and chicken kabobs. The tabouleh was very good with lavash. The hummus was creamy and thick. The kabobs were tender, and served with delicious vegetables and rice. The hot sauce added a nice tang without too much heat. The interior is charming and has a sense of bright, dreamy relaxation. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Sichuan chicken sandwich really hits. Tasty Taiwanese style fried chicken but in sandwich form? Insane. I've never been the biggest fan of deli sandwiches, but the one I had here (hot coppa) was easily the best cold sandwich I've eaten. Big fan of the sodium levels in everything (plenty).

Also they're not lying when they say "large" cookie. That's a LARGE cookie!“

The owner of this family-run business stopped by to greet during dinner and then, as we were leaving, she made sure Io courteously chat with us and wave us goodbye at the door. We'll definitely be back!“

“Lovely spot. Sat outdoors on the patio facing the Embarcadero and loved the view. Great spot to catch up with a friend(s), go on a date, meet up with colleagues, etc. Good atmosphere both indoors and outdoors.

Had the paella and chicken bucket and both were very good. As a native Marylander, their crab dip was underwhelming and small in size.

Highly recommend this spot.“

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.

“UPDATE-THEY JUST ADDED THEMSELVES TO DOORDASH AND THEY HAVE SOME GOOD NEW ITEMS ON DOORDASH AT A GOOD PRICE!

Have been going to this restaurant for over 20 years... The man who operates it took it over from his daughter and son-in-law... It used to be called Misha's Gyros ... I went in recently and I didn't quite recognize the guy with his hat ?... He was related to the people I saw BEFORE, I knew THAT -but I wasn't sure if it was a relative of theirs/or the same Guy -because it has been so many years! I saw him before the pandemic...

It turns out it's the same man and he maintains and operates his restaurant dutifully and faithfully after all these years!

THE FOOD WAS SO FILLING THAT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FALL ASLEEP! INCREDIBLE SPICE /INCREDIBLE FLAVOR TO THE CHICKEN GYROS... I WAS FEELING SO LETHARGIC I WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER I COULD GET TO MY CAR IN THE PARKING GARAGE AND DRIVE HOME 8 MI AWAY SAFELY!

AN HOUR LATER I WAS IN BED AND I REALIZED IT WAS THE LONGEST HOUR... BECAUSE OF ALL THE CALORIES AND NUTRITION IT WAS AS IF TIME EXPANDED ITSELF AND LASTED LONGER!

I highly recommend this simple and humble restaurant... And I hope they are available on DOORDASH ?...:⁠-⁠)

And I hope all is well with the owners daughter etc...I think we were in the same years /class at UC Berkeley!“

“5 stars. Amazing food from the lentil soup to dessert. Highly recommend.“

“A local favorite. Their hummus is incredible.

Kind of a comfortable and homey place on college avenue with reasonable prices and some good specialties, especially the pomegranate chicken.

Lots of different businesses around, including a dessert shop down the street, movie theater next block over parking right behind the buildings. Great for a night out.“

“Savoring Lebanese cuisine; like never before . una reunión de amigos ... y una comida excelente ... de falafel boy quede impresionado. más que recomendado.“

“Absolutely delicious!“

“Great food lovely location“

“Went midweek last week for lunch, first time. The falafel wrap was just outstanding. Big, moist, crunchy enough, savory. The gyro wrap was tasty but overall should have been better. The gyro meat was grey, skimpy portion, and it was chopped into cubes so the sandwich did not hold together enough to eat without it falling apart. The pitas are just right. Great easy-on-the-wallet addition to Montclair and we'll definitely go again for the falafel and to explore the rest of the menu.“

“Their wine list is impressive, atmosphere is sexy, and food is consistently excellent. They've added brunch on Fri, Sat, & Sun. Dinner recommend muhammara, brussel sprouts, lamb, & Aleppo potatoes. Brunch def try the burrata, steak + eggs, hazelnut french toast, and pouf pasty. Perfect spot for date night or girls brunch. Lovely heated parklets or inside comfy velvet seating.“

“Very personable & pleasant; have always enjoyed visiting them and absolutely Love their Mediterranean flavors. ??????

Vegetarian options: You can enjoy a nice variety of vegetarian dishes with a lovely Mediterranean taste/ flavors. Bonn appetite ?

Kid-friendliness: Either a pleasant happy music or children specific TV channels on.

Wheelchair accessibility: Almost 4 feet plus wide entrance to the sidewalk with a beautiful flower stand right next door.“

“Ate with a group of friends and we all ordered different dishes (to share), everything was delicious, my favorite was the falafel wrap. I then asked for a mixed box of deserts to go... We all whole heartedly enjoyed a mix of sweet, syrupy, sticky pastries... 100% recommend for a chill spot with great food and excellent service“

“TLDR: huge plate of quality Mediterranean food for under $15 in the FiDi!

I came here ordering takeout and the plates averaged around $13. I got the mixed combo plate and though it didn’t come with rice, it came with beef and chicken, hummus, salad, bread, falafel and dolma which were all great! Service was friendly, food came out quickly and I even got some hot sauce with my dips! Would definitely come back“

“Been coming here since 1977. Always great food and adult beverages. Best is fried zucchini!!!!“

“Such a great experience eating at this restaurant. The service was top notch and the pizza was to die for.“

“Had the honor of being served by Joseph in the Marina location. They run a tight shop: high-quality and the servers take their jobs and uniforms seriously. Classy place but non-pretentious. Nuts and bolts. Fresh. Their frozen yogurt with the oil and salt is nice. Fresh toppings on their pitas and bowls. Love their potatoes. Nice macro combos. If in SF and you want a quite bite that tastes good and nourishes the body — check it out“

“The sauces are *amazing*!!!“

“Amazing place to eat great food and service“

“Athenian Deli has become one of my regular lunch spots. Everything I've had here as been super tasty: smokey smooth babaganoush, excellent hummos, really tasty gyro, an outstanding 3 bean salad, etc. Good portions and staff are very friendly. I usually get the mazza plate sampler, so good!“

“5 Stars because it's right across the street from the IRS. Whether you leave that building happy or sad, both attitudes could use a cold brew and a croissant -- both of which were good.This cafe is exactly what you need, exactly where you need it.Considered dropping it to 4 stars for not providing the opportunity to get drunk if that's what you needed after the an IRS meeting instead.“

“Total hidden gem in SF. It’s low key and does take out only, but don’t let that fool you, this place rivals SF’s finest establishments. I moved in a few blocks down the street and have been ordering take out almost every day as I unpack. I’ve tried the chicken hummus plate, meatball and rice plate, and the Beyran Soup. Literally each dish was 5/5 amazing. The soup was the best soup I’ve ever had in my life. Super rich flavor, but not overly salty. Just right. Honestly these folks should turn into a full fledged restaurant.“

“Great addition to our neighborhood. A step above most restaurants here in atmosphere, vibe, food, and service. Duzgun the manager provides attention to detail, and Berry provides excellent service with a genuine smile every time we visit. Recommended!“

“We only had three items but they were very good. The Gyros Wrap and the Gyros Platter. Both extremely yummy. Great texture in the wrap. Loved it. The harmon fries were spectacular! Really garlicky. And the texture was perfect. Awesome crispness. A little on the pricey side overall but a nice treat.“

“The Banks Club in Emeryville is the spot! Soul, funk tunes fill the air all day, and the DJ sets on weekends are just dope. Karaoke nights? Always a blast. They pour generously too. I've had countless great times here. It's like the Cheers of Emeryville - you're gonna love it. 100% recommend!“
