Middle Eastern Restaurants in San Jose, CA

“Everything was delicious! Will definitely be back“

“Very delicious food. Owner is very polite and good service“

“Koubby (think kibbee), balls, football-shaped, cracked wheat outer shell with perfectly seasoned ground lamb, onion and pine nut filling is my all-time favorite. Tabbouleh Salad, Gyros, Falafels, Onion Rings, amazing shakes and refreshing lemonade also worthy!“

“Oh my hidden gem...

I've been meaning to find good schwarma and honestly thought Falaffel Stop was a 10/10. Meatfactory is an 11/10.

Gadi has mastered the spices and herbs to a level I thought wasn't possible. I made sure to grab a 2nd order because I felt so bad eating something so good without my wife.

I love the chill ambiance and come as you are vibe too.“

“The Kebab Shop has good quality food with generous portions and fresh ingredients, making it a reliable choice for a satisfying meal. While the flavors and style are inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, the taste is not exactly traditional Mediterranean—it’s more of a modern or “new-school” take, blending familiar flavors with their own twist. Even so, the quality stands out: meats are well-marinated, sauces are flavorful, and the service is friendly and efficient. If you’re looking for authentic Mediterranean, you might notice some differences, but for quality and value, The Kebab Shop is a solid five-star option.“

“I feel bad because I haven’t done this sooner. I can finally remember Larry’s name. I am writing this review over “some time” vs a one-off experience. It wasn’t until my most recent experience where I began to think “could Larry be the owner” of this store? I wasn’t sure if this was a chain or not, I just love the cuisine. I must say, when I come to this store, I used to say “I wonder if my friend is there today” when i can now say “I wonder if Larry is there?” As a small business owner, I know value! And if I could afford Larry, I would hire him! I know the max is a five star review, but I’ve always felt Larry deserved every bit of a higher score. For those who have ever gone into an establishment and felt expertise that was underpriced vs. the service level given, you’d know what I mean. Major salute to Larry, and I hope Sajj recognizes you in the for your VALUED efforts.“

“Came by on a Friday as soon as they opened, Staff was very pleasant and patient with me as they explained the menu to me. I ordered a chicken and Falafel bowl, it was incredible the ingredients were fresh the chicken warm and the falafel was crispy. I would say the price is very competitive for today’s market specially because the serving is very large. I will be back anytime I’m working in the area.“

“Food was good. Could have been a little better. The falafels were crunchy and a little hard to cut. The plastic forks were bending. But it still tasted good.“

“I like the food. I would be a more frequent customer if they brought back the free Baba Ganoush coupons they used to offer with order.“

“I can't believe how much I love this place. The market and kabob deli is by far the best store and eatery I've been to since moving to San Jose. Eddy/Eddie (possibly the manager or owner) introduced himself and was very welcoming. Whether you're looking for groceries or take out food, the quality and customer service is topnotch. I love the atmosphere, love the food and everything is reasonably priced. Highly recommend!!!“

“Very friendly. Great food. Would definitely go again“

“I really enjoyed my lunch today. Thank you Nancy Joon for the yummy food and excellent service“

“The best Israeli Shawarma in the Bay Area.CA“

“This is a Delectable Mediterranean Restaurant! What can I say but TAMMAM!!! After a Sumptuous Meal on this Mother’s Day Sunday Evening!“
