It’s a good place in the neighborhood.We ordered chicken shish kebab. The chicken was overcooked and a little dry.

amazing food with amazing workers!! the store was quiet at around 11am on thursday. many people came in around 12 for lunch but there were plenty of seats. i got a chicken shawarma and a beef and lamb gyro to start. the shawarma was crispy and amazing. it has pickles, a lovely garlic sauce, and super tender chicken. delicious! the beef and lamb were amazing, i love the flavor. the iced white mocha was good. they use peet's coffee for their beans. overall this place is great and i would come again.

Hands down the best salad bar in town, full of fresh delicious options you won't find anywhere else. Prepared options are quick and delicious too! Well worth the trip from anywhere in Sac, and a must for lunch if you're downtown.

Vela catered dinner for our seventeen guests. Feras delivered all the dishes right on time, and each course was beautifully presented.All our guests raved about the food and wanted to know who provided it.We even had a vegetarian menu that was so rich in flavor, appearance, and texture that no one missed a meat course.We look forward to enjoying our next visit to Vela and highly recommend it.

I just started going back after initially patronizing them when they opened. Turns out, the breakfast burritos are good and so is the breakfast bagel. They are kinda pricey and the service is slow. You would think that they would have a full staff during the morning rush. Not sure what the service is like during lunch, but I would be hesitant to go. The worker in the morning is really nice and accommodating.Update *** loss my card here a month or so ago. Called because I received a notification for a declined purchase on a frozen card. The person that answered the phone was rude. She pretended as if she didn't understand what I was saying. She hung up. I called back, she didn't answer. I blocked my number and called back to speak to the manager, she said why then hung up again. RIDICULOUS! I'll NEVER go here again!

Breakfast and lunch food that works in a pinch, but a little pricey and food quality isn't the best. Chicken wraps are a little dry, breakfast burritos are soggy, salty, and not warm, and coffee is too watery and overheated/burnt.

$3.89 for a bottled coca cola. I understand locally owned businesses charging slightly more, as I literally own a business here in downtown. $3.89 for one coke is greedy and you should know better.
