“It’s a Greek restaurant. I wanted to get something healthy so I ate a Salad for 5$. It was nice and made me full for my lunch. Packed with healthy lettuce, tomato and other 🥗. The place was super clean. Indoor Outdoor seating both available. The servers were friendly, attentive and hard working. Most of the food is in the range of 12$+ for one person. Attaching pictures for reference.“

“Good schwarma, great looking on a plate and good, fast service. Only personal preference is that there was too much sauce and too many veggies, including pickles? This caused the wrap (+ for toasting Levant wrap). This caused the wrap to gush sauce at the bottom and falls apart.“

“Food was really good. I went in expecting typical Mediterranean wraps kind of food. But they really took it to the next level. Had a beef kabob wrap that was terrific. The wrap was moist and a bit chewy like a great burrito. The meat was very juicy and soft. Even the veggies inside the wrap were notably yummy. Hummus was fantastic too. Definitely worth a visit.“

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.

“Delicious, fresh ALWAYS food. Check out the hummus when made by the lady owner. It is the smoothest, most delicious I have ever eaten!“

“This is a very unique joint because it’s inside of a grocery store which made it unique, but the food itself was amazing. We were here from out of town in the Central Valley and the reviews were very good so we took a chance and we were very happy. The grocery store itself was amazing. They had some items that we can’t find back home so we did some grocery shopping as well. I would highly recommend this place two thumbs up.“

“What a delightful fresh place for a meal! Service was helpful and attentive. The small plates were very shareable. We enjoyed many dishes: Oysters, Lamb, Salmon, Octopus, Spinach and Brussel sprouts. Priced on the higher side, but I left feeling that it was worth every penny. Parking was simple enough located on the quieter side of the Stanford Mall.“

“There is no shortage of Mediterranean restaurants in the Bay Area. This is the only one to which I have paid three visits in one month.

The spanakopita has sesame seeds on it. This is new and delightful for me.

And oh my goodness, do you get a lot of food for your price point.

I couldn’t even wait to take photos for my review, I just started eating this thing as soon as I got home.“

“First time! Will definitely be back!!“

“Had a wonderful, fresh breakfast and a nice dinner at the restaurant in The Westin in Palo Alto. The breakfast I chose was the bar which included eggs, bacon, potatoes, and French toast. Cereal, coffee, OJ, and toast was available as well a 8 varieties of fruit.For dinner, I started with the cheese plate and finished with the Soleil Burger with Gilroy fries. Long Islands were outstanding. The cheese plate was excellent and served with toast. The burger was cooked to perfection with bacon and cheddar.“
