“Small Mediterranean market directly adjacent to Shish Grill, a nice Lebanese restaurant by the same owners. Although small, their selection of groceries is vast, with lots of essential items, serving a much needed demand for halal products. Their customer service is great, they make you feel like family.“
“My go to for lunch whenever I'm working in this area. I always order the Saaj wrap with falafel or chicken shawafel with all the fixings and it always hits the spot. The many options for fresh ingredients to add to your wrap or bowl is one of the many things I love about Saaj. The green sauce is a must! Not to mention, each meal comes with a warm lentil soup, which is great way to start any meal. The lady that works here provides genuinely, friendly service and is informative if you have any questions. My only wish is that they had a location closer to where I reside in Fairfield!“
“Under new management Great food, great service! We had Chicken dumb biryani, masala dosa, palak paneer, butter naans, onion naan, Chicken tikka masala! We enjoyed everything! Clean, take out and there is weekend special too. Chay is complimentary. Highly recommended! Thank you for Gulab Jaamun, we’ll visit again!“
“We are new to the Bay Area and went to this restaurant for the first time . Their service and food was excellent! I am North Indian and not easy to please with North Indian food but I have not had such mind blowing chole kulche and sarson ka saag , makke di roti in the US . Definitely recommend . Our server, Sabi,was awesome, brought complementary French fries for my son and gajar ka halwa for us. Very hospitable, felt like we were in India. Would go back soon.Vegetarian options: We were told that the kitchen is separated into veg and non veg sections and they do not mix things up which is great!“
“We had our lunch on 03/03/2024 Sunday. We ordered following food: Sultan salad Beef shish kebab Chicken shish kebab Salmon kebab Hummus trio Tzatziki Food excellent and delicious. Cooked to perfection. Service: Greeted us with a wide smile. Owner Ibrahim very accommodating and attentive to our needs. Service quick and efficient. All staff has great attitude respectful to both young and elderly. Ambience: Medium size place . Place cool and comfortable. Place neat and clean. I highly recommend this place to my family, relatives and friends . Thank you staff for an excellent service.“
“The food was so flavorful without being salty or heavy. The staff was efficient, knowledgeable, and warm. The housemade rice pudding was creamy and delicious yet light and delicately sweet. We're still full but can't wait to come again!Vegetarian options: Vegetable Plate“
“I kid you not, the lamb gyro here just might be the most delicious thing I've ever eaten in my life, and I am not a young person. I don't know how they manage to make the gyro so flavorful, but it's absolutely ridiculous, in a really good way though. I could eat here every day. The 5 stars they maintain here on Yelp is highly deserved.“
“I’ve been on a falafel dry spell, and by dry spell, I mean every single one I’ve tried in years has been hella dry. Not so at Falafel Flare! The falafel were soft and the herbs inside them combined with the chickpea meal to create a nice, balanced flavor. I dug the pickled radish in the wrap and wish they’d included more! My only complaint is that the flavors were a bit tame, so I’d definitely recommend asking for the hot sauce, too—and more radish!Interestingly, this place used to be called Falafel Flame. The front door had the “m” peeled away, which is now replaced by an “R”. I want the 411 on that situation! It made me laugh to see the obvious change to the name.“
“We ordered a variety of their recommended dishes including a noodle soup and goat dish. My favorite is still their chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. The tikka masala is a bit thicker in consistency and their naan is slightly sweet, which adds a nice twist.“
“Hands down, this is the best shawarma in the bay area. I live a bit far from Dublin, but I find myself driving to Rahma Grill whenever I have the craving for Shawarma. My daughter loves the chicken, I prefer the beef myself. You can't go wrong with either one. You guys have the best food and the best service. Did I say it is always super clean. Wow.. I love it.Vegetarian options: Falafel, Hummus and salads are great.Dietary restrictions: None I can think ofParking: Easy in and out and free.Kid-friendliness: People there are easy to talk toWheelchair accessibility: Easy access“
“If you want to try authentic afghan food then this is the place! We had the best dinner here. We tried Bolani Potatoes, Bolani Kadu/Pumpkin and Borani Badenjon. All three items were delicious and very tasty. Their seating arrangements in patio is like middle eastern style facing water fountain. Bolani were crispy and sauces on Borani had great chef touch. The staff and owners treated us very nicely.Vegetarian options: Bolani and Borani“
Chicken Wings • $
“Went in here to get 6 pcs of habanero hot wings. The taste was good, but my mom was not able to enjoy it at all. She said the wings were dry, but they were ok for me. This place might be a hit or miss. I did enjoy it though.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible doors and parking spots“
“I’m not a fan of fried chicken because most places overcooked their chicken and make it so dry, but this place has the most moist chicken ever. I had tender, and the tender was nicely moist, the batter is quite thick on the tender. My bf had chicken thigh part and it was great. My bf ordered the hot one, it’s very spicy but he could eat spicy fine. He said that “hot” level is enjoyable for him. I chose the mild one and I enjoyed it. The server was nice and attentive. He gave us the “hot” level sample to try on to make sure we could handle it before order.“
“Excellent burger spot with lots of good options, and it's halal!My go to since discovering the place is the two minis combo, the crispy chicken and the Americano cheeseburger with (really good) fries and a drink. The crispy chicken is better than the rest, period, I said what I said. Give the Nashville spicy chicken one a try if you're feeling adventurous. The cheeseburger truly gives homemade with the tender beef cooked perfectly. There is nothing mini about these sandwiches but when you're cheating on your diet, the portion is guilt free.I appreciate the drink selection, especially since I'm not a soda fan. Service is extremely friendly whether I'm dining in or taking out. When dining in, space is clean with chill vibes, a great escape from the office.Dietary restrictions: Halal“
“Honestly everything was excellent. The food was fresh and flavorful, the service was intentful and speedy, and the atmosphere was inviting and cozy. The menu had a focused but varies collection of meat/kabob dishes. I ordered the chicken breast kabob plate. 17 bucks. Such a bargain for the amount of food these days and it tasted home cooked and prepared with pride--you can tell. The rice was perfectly seasoned and the entire plate was nicely balanced with a yogurt based cabbage slaw. Definitely will be coming back.“
“The purpose of this additional review is to strongly encourage you to treat yourself to delicious Mediterranean dishes at this restaurant. While it’s lovely having the restaurant all to ourselves at munch time, I can’t help thinking that so many people are missing out. Better babaganoush you probably won’t savor anywhere served with fluffy, fresh, pillowy pita bread. We enjoyed the vegetarian moussaka version. The servers are so friendly and the atmosphere in the room is relaxing with lovely music in the background. We need to support these family businesses in the communities where/near we live. They have a Sunday brunch buffet that we look forward to trying too.“
“Finally tried this place and it was pretty good. Seasoning made it tasty and you can choose how spicy you want it and chicken was crispy. If you prefer non spicy it's not as tasty since there's no seasoning. I like that they give you pickles and sauces on the side so you can add if you'd like. Fries were crispy too and a good portion.“
“We went there just for hummus today and we're so glad we did! It was the best hummus we've had since our honeymoon in the Middle East 40 years ago. It's very smooth and creamy with just the right amount of lemon. The owner showed us photos of his grandfather who created the recipe. We will definitely go back.“
“I only get take out from here.Their saag is creamy, delicious. Really haven't had a loser dish here. Not too spicy for Indian food.The dish that is very surprising is the chicken noodles.It's like a indian spicy chow mein.My niece, who is very picky, loves this dish.Naan, Tikka Masala, and chole batura are on point (tasty and not too oily nor spicy).Will repeat.“
“Very friendly owner. Zeiton is also caring and a recommending new torshi style to me that she made it. Tasty and fresh kabob for 5 skewers only 15$ and homemade nan. Got fresh herbs from their freezer side and the taste and brand was outstanding.“
“The food of this restaurant was very good. I went here with my family. The service was excellent and the food was tasty and tasty. The inside of the restaurant was very clean and tidy.

“10/10. The food was delicious. The chapli kabob can be made spicy which had a good kick if you like, I also tried my sister's spicy beef gyro plate, which was also amazing. They had great service and checked in on customers. The ambiance is nice, it's an Afghan restaurant that isn't in a food court, I forgot I was in the mall. This is the best Afghan food I've had in the Pleasanton area, I'll definitely be back!“
“The Quabili pallaw was delicious - the lamb was tender and the raisins with rice was well done. Generous portion, though a bit pricey for a meal. Minor nitpick is that the basmati rice used could be more fragrant, but that is a personal preference.The triple combo was a meal with good variety. I found the chicken rather tough and dry, but this is expected. The highlights were the other 2 meats, and served in combination with the salad and rice it made for an excellent combination of a meal.Finally, we had the Borani Bajan appetiser. It was really enjoyable. I would definitely return for this refreshing dish.Overall a pleasant experience. Parking a little difficult, environment is basic which appealed to me as an inexpensive restaurant, prices are decent, service is pass-able, nitpicking here because the server was holding her phone while attending to us. We were here for the food, and the food is excellent.“

“Caravan is hands down one of the best Afghan restaurants I have ever been to. From the moment I walked in, the staff provided excellent service and made me feel right at home.I ordered the bolani as an appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. The dough was perfectly cooked and the filling was seasoned to perfection. For my main dish, I opted for the chicken kabob and it did not disappoint. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the seasoning was just right.Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Caravan. The food was top-notch, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I will definitely be returning to try more of their amazing dishes. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Afghan cuisine.“
“Quesadilla was good.Parking is horrible. You have to pay for it.Table was not clean. It should have been clean given it was empty at the time we came in.They charge extra for everything. It is definitely more expensive than at most Mexican restaurants.“
“Parking: Location is off the main downtown area. The food was delicious, especially the Goat Curry. The host was friendly, but doubling up as the waiter as well, most likely because they don't get much afternoon crowds on a Saturday.“
“Probably the best Indian food in the valley-that I've had so far. Can't comment on the restaurant itself as I had delivery. Chicken korma, which is my go to, was delicious. The rice was a generous serving, and it was plump, moist, and fresh, which isn't always a thing, especially when you order delivery.“
“Excellent service, very swift, polite staff, food was delicious, satay chicken so tender with a lovely peanut sauce, chicken rolls not too spicy and very flavoursome, tom kha soup with shrump was a 10 out of 10, pad thai with chicken and shrimp by far the best tasting dish, pad kee Mao was gorgeous but a little fiery, Thai basil rice with chicken very tasty. Both red and yellow curry's were delicious and the beef was cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend this restaurant.“
“So Good!! We ordered the chicken wrap, chicken shawarma plate, Philly cheese, cheeseburger, and samosas. Everything was so delicious. Very flavorful. The presentation was perfect. Kids loved it too. Will definitely be back in soon. The interior smelled and looked very clean, the decor is beautiful as well, great place to host a party. They also have a buffet during the day that looks so good too.“
“I stumbled upon Chat Cafe in Dublin City and was delightfully surprised by the hidden gem! The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home. But the real star of the show was the Desi snacks - oh my! The flavors were explosive and transported me straight to the streets of India. The samosas were crispy perfection, and the chai tea was expertly brewed. I was blown away by the authenticity and quality of the snacks, and the generous portions left me feeling satisfied but not too full. The cafe itself was clean and welcoming, with comfortable seating areas perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done. I highly recommend Chat Cafe to anyone craving a taste of India in the heart of Dublin City. Five stars and I can't wait to return for another snack attack!“

“Very giving they also extended 20% during their soft to grande opening of great Napalese and some Chinese based dishes. Smells wonderful, fourth time, out of our price range post DiabloMags Tri-Val food Rest week, always find tastes that are newer to our palate.A bit pricey for families but always order Chai hot as cold and/or rainy for all four visits. Same funnyman host, out of context we enjoyed Bruno Mars one after lunch rush afternoon, we liked it! We especially appreciate the beyond life sized photoMURAL of the Nepal Mountains and makes it different for a good visit. The cashier/host is always quick. He is attentive server as well. One or two in back working...the BEST part of this place? Alot of working and made to order dishes it is NOT just scooped out onto a warm plate it is and takes a little longer cooked to order! Wow. Maybe not the long grain rice...goes good with curries too. We had a Mango Lasse and I've had hot tea before here, before rest week. CONSISTENT, even though not always same cook or food preparer, it's still great and yes, if possible I request NO Spice[chili],to fully enjoy all the traditional spices without that Heat!We might return for a 5th for Lunch, depending on find in ng a coupon, it IS new next to Japanese place withIN Food Court @ Pacific Pearl's next to Palace. And across from a five star Thai/Malay deafening I'll call default when@Pearl. Beware places get busy and parking can be a challenge due to busy nights and 99Ranch shoppers. Snowflake is gone.We told friends about the Momo dumplings, really tasty and like two in 1“
“The Gurkha Kitchen is a mini chain selling Nepalese halal eats. It opened where Pho Viet was. Interior mostly unchanged save for the added pics on walls & a flatscreen. Light music in background. Greeted upon arrival, assigned table, given menu. I ordered quickly. Food cooked to order. Came in 10ish minutes. Offerings (Nepalese version): appetizers, Nepali Khaja set, Thakali Thali, desserts, tandoori, momos, veg./non veg. entrees, Indo Chinese, rice & biryani, drinks, beers. Eats: Khasi ko Sekuwa (18.99) country style BBQ goat. Marinated with many Himalayan herbs/spice -served with sliced carrots/cucumbers, red onions, cilantro, potato salad. Lightly battered, had nuanced flavors of spicy, tanginess, subtle sweetness. -accompanied by large serving of lightly fried pieces of rice, jalepeno slices, mucho peanuts, -comped nicely made chai. Didn't pair with BBQ. Was informed when ordering it's "bar food". It sure was filling. Took most of it to go. Yummy it was. 4.5 stars: most diverse Nepalese ever seen! So far great food at 2 locations. Worth repeating...“
