“This has been one of my favorite places to get food from, these past few months. His food feels warm, like a home cooked meal. The owner is just as warm and wonderful as his food!

His menu is always evolving! He recently added chicken shawarma pizza to his menu, and I love it SO MUCH.

If you find yourself in the Carmichael area, please do yourself a solid, and try his food. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.“

The person working at the restaurant was polite, the food was great, and it was affordable. Happy to have this new Gyro spot!

Dietary restrictions: My wife is dairy free and they were happy to accommodate.“

“Highly recommend this place. My father and I tried it one night and it has became our go-to dinner now whenever I visit. We have tried everything from their platters to their burgers. Their food is always FRESH and never disappoints. Their prices are very affordable especially for the quality of the food. Also, I love that they continue to invest in aesthetic improvements like the dining area and menu board.“

“One of the best Afghan stores in the area. The owner and his lovely wife is so kind and hospitable. And the food is just wow , very delicious . Words can’t explain the taste of course. Plus their store and the kitchen is very clean and tidy. Don’t miss the kabuli polaw and gyro here ?“

“I could leave an entire book about the owner and staff at Mosaeic but I’ll start by first saying thank you. This was my first time visiting this restaurant and the owner made my daughter and I feel like family. When we arrived it was a little late and the staff was dealing with a lot of orders. My daughter was getting restless as we waited so the owner asked her what she wanted and he let her pick out a drink on the house. A simple gesture that illustrated his situational awareness. He then proceeded to take my order. I was ordering dinner for my wife so I wasn’t sure what to get and he was incredibly helpful with suggestions. While he was in the back his assistant Samit began preparing what I thought was my order. When the owner recognized this mistake he didn’t yell at him or make him feel uncomfortable for the mistake he simply told him to add it to our order. I was shocked. Humility like this is rare and I’ve eaten out many times and this was the first time something like this has happened to me.

Now let’s get to the food.
The falafel was incredible. You know this recipe is a family tradition. We are vegetarians so we ordered the vegetarian salad with pita bread and an entire spread of humus, grape leaves and a side of rice.

Everything was fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back and this time we will surely dine in.

Thank you Eyd and Samit. Please forgive me if I misspelled your beautiful names.

Shukran.“

“To everyone who’s here for reviewsI recommend this place to everyone the food each kind have different tests end each one is batter then the other and the stuff is so kind and friendlyAnd they are never say no for any kinda parties and helping more for having a batter memories for your parties“

“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.“

“Food is always great, hot and freshly made. Awesome portion sizes and really friendly and accommodating staff. Their mango lassi is bomb and everything I’ve ordered has been delicious. 100% recommend!“

“Took 2 of my sons there for lunch. Cool food truck in a no frills parking lot = recipe for the perfect shawarma. Chicken and beef were both super big and really delicious. They really load these up and don't skimp on ingredients. Fries were great too. A total hit.“

“Skewers Kabob & Gyro Grill is a hidden gem! Their Gyro Wrap is a flavor explosion - juicy meat, crispy veggies, and creamy tzatziki sauce. The service is friendly, and the ambiance is cozy. Highly recommended! Best gyro in town! Perfect for a quick bite!“

“I Left with take out order and realized when I got home it was incomplete. I Came back for remaining order and the gentleman behind the counter remembered me and held up a bag of fries that were left behind. He proceeded to make me new fries and made it a basket of fries and he also doubled the baklava order that was also left behind. Stand up customer service and the food was great.“

“Presentation of food and taste was AMAZING!!!!“

“its clean and the food is fresh and yummy“

“This is the best place we’ve been to in recent times! We felt like we were visiting family, where everyone is going out of their way to make us feel welcome.
We ordered a Chicken&Lamb tikka and a Greek salad, they immediately brought us soup (two plates, instead of the one ?), then some different vegetable additives, bread, salad... while they brought us the meat, we were already full and satisfied! The service is aerobatics, we decided to leave the maximum tips, and when we asked the waitress «where is the category of tips?» she decided, apparently, that we can’t leave a tip and said «oh, you can just press skip, everything is fine» ????? modesty!!!
The food is just amazing. I really liked the soup and rice, and my husband, of course, liked the lamb the most. Just a great place. We are now your regulars ❤️“

“Some of the best gyro I’ve ever had“

“Love it. Great atmosphere. Family works together. Nice employees“

“My partner and I came here to try the falafel wraps and they do not disappoint. The wraps are full of flavor and really filling! The spanakopita and the Greek fries were excellent sides that tasted great. The owner is very sweet and treated us very well
Can't wait to come back.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Habibi’s Grill, and I must say, it’s the best food I’ve ever had. Every dish is prepared with care, and the salads are fresh and perfectly cooked. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable.

The best part? The food is not only delicious but also very affordable. You won’t have to wait long either—everything is served promptly, usually within 15 minutes. If you’re looking for a place that offers great food and a warm atmosphere, I highly recommend trying Habibi’s Grill. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Nice service by staff and good taste.“

“Had an intimate wedding and reception here. Great staff and owners were very helpful in setting up the event. Excellent food with a variety of choices. Handy florist next door worked well with Brickland site. Chef is former chef at Biba’s. Fresh local produce adds to menu choices.
Brickland is also great for lunch,dinner or a nice weekend brunch. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
P.S. Very nice ambiance and decor!“

“Delicious lamb gyros and falafel! (And they didn’t even bat and eye when I asked for extra sauce!) Four very large and comfortable indoor booths, great A/C, clean, and crew is super friendly.“

“Dinner was very good and very filling. The staff were awesome and attentive.“

“Excellent service every time! Quick and efficient service especially if you call ahead of time! Plenty of food w the chicken plate all fresh and soooo good!“

“Tried tonight for the first time. Got a regular gyro and chicken gyro. Both were very good. Staff was very nice. Would go again.“

“Ended up going in on a fluke, saw the baklava picture on the window and wanted to try it. Everybody was great in this place (not just workers) we ended up having lunch and had the greatest conversation with worldly and cultured people. I had a great time on what was intended to be a quick stop. Falafel, baklava, kabob were all fantastic. Definitely going back on the regular!“

“The young lady, I think her name was zylah. Was very helpful, polite, and pleasant.

I stopped in on a whim to try a new place and try something different from what I usually eat.

I can't express how utterly shocked I was to be greeted with such pleasantry. Where as most places the experience is purely transactional, here I truly felt welcome.

While I'm not in this area often. I'm sure I will stop in the next time I am.“

“Went to dinner with a few friends on a Friday night. We had an 8pm reservation and were seated immediately.
There is no denying the atmosphere is STUNNING.

The Jacquelyn is new in town and it really showed. The food and the staff were incredibly green for an upscale place it presents itself as. The food was ok, but It was bland. I wouldn’t reorder anything. The staff were very nice, but not helpful. There were times they were gathered around the bar just waiting for the backlog of drinks rather than following up with customers. The plates are really small, which was not mentioned when we were ordering a La carte. When asked for direction on ordering, the staff was not adverse in the menu and left us without answers.

It’s an experience and I think if you’re looking for a place to feel elevated, the Jacquelyn is an option. If you’re looking to enjoy and indulge on food and cocktails, try something else.

I do look forward to visiting again in a few months to see if they have elevated their food & beverage game.“

“We decided to try this place tonight as we keep passing it going to yogurt next door.

We will be back! We shared the gangster burger and curly fries. Delicious and great portion size.

Great, friendly service, with helpful advice on food orders.“

“If you're looking for Greek food in Sacramento, look no further than Petra Greek. I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki Plate and Grilled Halloumi. The food is absolutely delicious, with well-seasoned meats and fresh, flavorful ingredients. I especially appreciated that the chicken was moist and not dry, as is often the case. The staff is friendly and interior vibes are chill.

I highly recommend Petra Greek to anyone looking for a great Greek meal.“

“Very good food made fresh on the spot.“

“At 8:18 AM today, while lining up for the morning coffee, Alejandro, greeted me from behind. Like anyone else, in this restaurant, every staff tries their best to make clients feel at home & welcome by knowing the clients name. This is what makes Bella Bru Carmichael awesome. Please acknowledge Alejandro with points for promotion and rewards. Keep up the excellent client service.“

“One of our Favorites! Wish they open one in Elk Grove !!“

“A delightful evening for two celebrating our wedding anniversary. Shared a Ceaser Salad and Salmon for one entree and chick for the other. Service was casual but efficient with Jordan. Host/Sommelier Evan was knowledgeable and shared a little extra wine with us.“

“So me and my friends called in very late. We called to see if we can eat in the lobby inside the restaurant. The amazing workers let us in even after they cleaned up. When we got in the store we were met with amazing customer service. Then when we got to the food it was absolutely amazing. The samosas were delicious and the food was out of this world, was fresh and delicious. 100% recommend.“

“Best Persian food in Sacramento!“
