Turkish Restaurants near San Mateo, CA

“We ordered the house combo and it was very tasty. It came with 4 meats(chicken,beef,gyro ,koftedes). All of the meat was juicy,tender and well seasoned. The rice. was fluffy ans delicious. 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. I can't wait to try the baklava we ordered. What a great find. I will definitely be going back to this restaurant.“

“When it comes down to Mediterranean food, I would fall into Mazra. However, Mazra now has a worthy rival! What's unique about a smaller restaurant like Nomadic Kitchen is that you feel the place more intimated. I like how the owner/manager and server take a great care of us. When we are about to order 4 choices of mezze, the owner/manager said he will take care of the choices for us and give us samples of everything else as well. The result: the beautiful palette of colors and flavors! I was a bit surprised that we got bread rather than pita. Still, it was amazing! We got the grilled lamb, which is quite nice, no hard-to-chew pieces at all. On top of that, the rice and bulgar (I guess) are so delicious with different fragrance and texture. The dishes are well thought out and so healthy as well. This place becomes one of the most amazing Mediterranean restaurants with reasonable prices. I definitely will come back and eat there again.“

“I went there yesterday for the first time and it instantly became my new favorite spot in Menlo Park
staff were incredibly friendly and genuinely helpful. they took the time to explain the menu, made great recommendations, and just had the warmest energy the whole time. You can really feel they care about their guests.
And the food? Out of this world. Everything we ordered was bursting with flavor the hummus was silky and perfectly seasoned, the pomegranate kebabs were tender and juicy with that amazing mix of flavor, and don’t even get me started on the baklava… best I’ve had in ages. Portions were generous too.“

““Pizza is more than just food; it is a universal language of happiness. From the moment its aroma fills the air, it awakens a deep sense of anticipation and comfort. The golden, crispy crust tells a story of perfect balance, while the rich tomato sauce carries a bold yet familiar warmth. Melted cheese flows like a masterpiece, embracing every topping and uniting them in flawless harmony. Each bite is an unforgettable journey — crunchy, soft, savory, and deeply satisfying. Pizza has the power to bring people together, turn ordinary moments into celebrations, and remind us that true joy can be found in the simplest, most delicious pleasures of life.”“

“Nice local spot with really good food. I usually get the vegetarian Mousaka. It’s filling. I noticed that the lamb kabobs with pomegranate and rice over a bed of yogurt is also very well made. Nice cosy atmosphere for a meal and conversation.“

“Never had Uyghur cuisine before, and I'm sorry I waited this long. Absolutely delicious. Ordered the samsas appetizer (one chicken, one beef). Flaky, buttery pastry goodness wrapped around well seasoned meats.
For my entree I went with the lagham noodles and they did not disappoint. The noodles were so good, I would eat a bowl of them alone. Great flavorful dish. Definitely will come back here every time I'm in town on business.“
