Restaurants in Santa Clara

“Had a great experience at Mikiya! The food was delicious, especially the Wagyu and shabu-shabu. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the atmosphere was really nice.

Special thanks to Thura, our server! He was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Great service overall, and I’d definitely come back again!”

“MONDAY FOOD REVIEW...PUESTO...6/17/24! After leaving California's Great America, we stopped for lunch at Puesto, a Mexican/American restaurant, located at 2752 Augustine Dr., in Santa Clara. This restaurant features Mexican dishes with an American flare infusion! I had their their Shrimp a la Plancha, which is Mexican shrimp, garlic butter, red onions, jalapeños, guajillo chile, avocado, and Tamarindo-chile sauce, and it comes with herb lime rice, black beans, and blue corn tortillas. This was absolutely fabulous!!! It wasn't your typical Mexican dish...the different ingredients they used to create this dish all blended together VERY well!!! If you are looking for a little something different to satisfy your Mexican food craving, and want some added flair, then this is THE restaurant to go to!!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!! My rating: 10++++”

“Iraklis Restaurant is a true culinary gem! The menu features a delightful selection of authentic Greek dishes, with each plate bursting with rich flavors and freshness. The moussaka is a standout—rich, hearty, and beautifully presented, while the tzatziki is the perfect complement to any meal. The welcoming ambiance and friendly staff make you feel right at home. Whether you're enjoying a casual dinner or a special celebration, Iraklis delivers an exceptional dining experience every time. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Greek cuisine!”

“Excellent food and service. Value for your money.”

“This Cafe is absolutely amazing! Kenny is just so happy to have anyone here! He takes pictures of every customer, he is kind and the food is delicious and filling. We just happened upon it, and we are so happy we did! Thank you Kenny! 😁😁😁😁❤️🤍💙”

“This place just opened. It's not clear what cuisine this is from the photos and description, and for some reason it's classified as Diner but it's doing brunch.

Anyway this is a Korean fusion cuisine restaurant and it's trying to mimic the success of the japanese fusion Soho in Milpitas. Its interior is modeled for fine dining and it has a comprehensive drinks menu. Food though is quite good, the bulgogi cream pasta has the right amount of cream and taste, it's not too heavy, and the bulgogi used high quality beef/steak pieces and not your run of the mill regular beef. The fried chicken is almost perfect, crispy outside, the crunch is just right, not too hard and not soggy. The uni rice pot is good but the cream doesn't have enough uni taste unfortunately. The service is excellent as well.”

“Nice ambiance and friendly People”

“Friendly service, good yogurt. Many toppings to to choose from. One of the rare frozen yogurt places that have the toppings always fresh and not stale. Excellent. 10/10”

“Puranpoli is an incredible gem that brings authentic Indian flavors to life! The puran poli is simply outstanding—soft, deliciously sweet, and perfectly spiced. The warm, inviting atmosphere makes it a great setting for enjoying traditional dishes. The menu offers a wonderful array of options, ensuring there's something for everyone. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall experience. Every visit feels like a special occasion, and I can't recommend this place highly enough for those looking to indulge in genuine Indian cuisine!”

“Luis went above and beyond during my recent visit. From the moment I walked up to his register, he greeted me with a genuine, welcoming smile and made the whole checkout process effortless. His positive energy and upbeat attitude are truly infectious—he is just great to be around.
On top of the outstanding hospitality, the food was absolutely delicious and freshly prepared. It is rare to experience such great food paired with attentive, friendly customer service these days. Luis turned a routine visit into a bright spot in my day, and his dedication to making customers feel valued does not go unnoticed. Thank you, Luis, for the amazing experience!”

“The food here is unique and pretty amazing. They make their own noodles and portion sizes are generous. I ate here with my family and we got the abalone big chicken plate, along with the big beef plate. Both come with hand pulled noodles. We also tried the cold black fungus mushroom entree. Everything was delicious, but a big plate meal is sized for two people. We didn't know this going in, so we had plenty left over. Service was also really good. If you're in the mood for halal asian cuisine, I highly recommend this restaurant.”

“We booked this for an important family dinner that I really needed to get right, and the venue absolutely came through for me. From the moment we walked in, the staff made the whole evening feel a bit special without ever overdoing it. They'd given us a beautifully set table tucked away enough to feel a bit private, our server was warm and engaged throughout, and the food was honestly some of the best we've had in months. Every course came out perfectly cooked, generously portioned, and beautifully presented. We worked through a starter each, mains, and a shared dessert at the end, with the staff quietly bringing out a little candle for the birthday in the middle of our group without us having to ask. That gesture absolutely made the evening for the person it was for. The pacing of the meal was textbook — never rushed, never forgotten — and we had plenty of time between courses to actually talk to each other. The bill at the end was very fair for the quality of the whole experience. The family has already agreed it's our new go-to for any kind of special occasion. Lovely place.”

“Pretty solid. Quick service. Really attentive. We went when it was a bit slower so it was a little awkward with them hovering by, but I get it. Lots of options the ayce is kind of pricey but if you're coming hungry I think it's worth it. Really appreciate the condiments already being at the table for sauces. Would definitely come back, but maybe for happy hour, for the price discount.”

“I recommend them for their hospitality, great food and service. Quick to serve!”

“Fresh and fabulous ❣️ Worth the wait, for sure😋”

“Amazing Peruvian food. The food here is outstanding — bold, flavorful, and clearly made with care. However, the wrinkled, unironed tablecloths were hard to ignore. It’s a small detail, but it undermines the professionalism of what is otherwise a great dining experience. Sort out the presentation and this place would be close to perfect.”

“Creatively ambitious and high level cuisine, using Korean flavors and spices to add interest and individuality to California ingredients. Example: wagyu tartare with uni aioli, among other things, that was rich and fresh and unexpected, all at the same time. Clever attention to textures and variety of textures within each course. A reasonably priced tasting menu or, at four courses, you could call it a prix fixe. Limited but good wine selection, seemingly carefully curated. Very cool ambiance inside and friendly, graceful service.”

“I love the fast and easy ordering system here! The ice cream tacos are made fresh and flash-frozen, so every bite is perfectly cold and delicious. The best part is being able to customize everything—from your ice cream flavor to the chocolate dip and toppings. Such a fun dessert spot. Street parking only”

“Amazing pizza, nice people, and cool atmosphere. This is the best place in the area for pizza. My only ask would be to have a better local beer selection. We have great breweries around here, and it would be awesome to have a better selection.”

“Obviously a local favorite, you can always tell how good an in and out burger location is by their signature long but fast moving lines both inside and at the drive-thru. This location had both. Typically I would give in and out five Stars based on their burgers alone. however I experienced a minor food quality issue with the overly salted fries. Was able to cover it up a bit with a bit of raw onion from my burger and an extra packet of spread”

“Nice friendly staff, clean restaurant we go there every Monday or Tuesday”

“The service attitude here is great. I like the drinks very much. It feels very magical, like a magic potion🥰”

“Thoughtful gluten free options which are so hard to find. Clean, well run. Insane dessert crepe w Nutella and a ton of fresh fruit. Never would have known it wasn’t gluten-full. Berry smoothie w oat milk too, ‘cause we’re gluttonous. Highly recommend!”

“Mike and Jacob helped us today going back this weekend to get my music in!!!”

“The chicken salads here are huge, with a surprisingly generous portion of meat. I've eaten a lot of chicken salads at other counter service places in the area, and The Stand puts them all to shame. The dressing seemed like it was made fresh, not from a bottle. Will come back to try something else.”

“Very attentive staff and delicious food”

“Absolutely the BEST food and service at Eurogrill! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed like family. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes sure everything is perfect. The food is outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and made with real Balkan tradition. The Ćevapi (house specialty) are simply the best I’ve ever had! Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and grilled to perfection. You can truly taste the quality and authenticity in every bite. If you’re looking for amazing Balkan food and top-notch service, Eurogrill is the place to go. Highly recommend! I will definitely be coming back again and again. 👏🔥 Ketering was perfectly arranged!”

“Great food. So yummy. Fresh food”

“First timer and highly recommend. Staff is super friendly, helpful and very pleasant. I ordered the Tex Mex Chicken Fajita Quesadilla 🌶️ and it was out of this world 🌎!! So many healthy options and so fresh! I’ll be back very soon!!”

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!”

“Very good!! I had spaghetti and the wife got a bbq chicken pizza and both were amazing!! If your missing mom’s spaghetti come here and get some comfort food. Bbq pizza was bomb very good crust!”

“Staff are polite, the rooms are nice, good song selection and if we can’t find a song we can use YouTube, which is great! The only thing is that there are not many vegetarian options.”

“This place is a wonderful place to enjoy a super delicious meal. Our waitress San was a joyful, energetic person.”

“My new favorite go to lunch spot! The food is delicious. Last three times I’ve been there this month Shyla has been my server, she is such a ray of sunshine! I’m spoiled now her section is the only place I’ll sit 😀.”

“Fantastic restaurant. Outstanding service. Great ambiance. The staff are beautifully presented. The food itself is really good, but needs a little more balance between the protein and the vegetables and the textures and a little more creativity for me to give 5 stars.”

“I travel all over the US. Stopped here for breakfast cause it was near by. I love local small breakfast restaurants. This place is perfect. Service was great, the people are friendly, and my food was quick and hot.”

“Authentic and delicious. Friendly staff.”

“We celebrated a friend’s 50th Birthday here and the food was amazing! Service was par excellence!!! Paneer parche was the highlight dish…loved it! All 5 stars to the show experience here!”

“Perfect for watch parties.”

“This is a reallly wholesome, family-run Indian vegetarian restaurant. For $18, they have a very tasty all you can eat buffet. They bring to your table some fresh made chapati too. There is a delicious lemon pudding for dessert and also always fresh fruit. If you want some good home cooking, this is the place.”

“Great food, nice outdoor seating and good people, they serve you with a smile.. i like that.. 👍👍”

“We host workshop here and the environment is cozy and chill”

“I love their pani puri,dahi batata sev puri, chole batura,aloo tikki chaat.I often go there ,every Friday and Sunday .....love love their food taste.”

“Great fast food and very quick service. I would recommend for a quick easy bite to eat. Love it specially Pleasanton location”

“Great food! My moms first time and couldn’t stop raving about the chicken adobo and the halo halo. It’s pricey but good. And the staff is very nice.”

“Sandi's Cobbler Cup are awesome but she offers so much more. The gumbo and jambalaya is always fresh and taste great. Sandi is very professional and offers catering that's second to none.”

“I don't normally make reviews about shopping centers, but this one is very nice and aesthetic one to go to. To be honest, I've never been in a shopping center that looks as ambient compared to average ones I go to.

Yes it's not really a big place, but it's built nice and clean at the same time. Probably most people who work around here come here for lunch. It would have been better if there are bigger building while using the same materials as well as a bigger shopping center, but this is fine.”

“So, its after midnight and the young lady who took my order was friendly and professional. Whoever is running the back of the house right now just made the perfect, most tasty, hot and fresh Chicken tater melt that has ever gone into my face. I dont think I did a very good job chewing it because for some reason when something tastes amazing, my adhd brain wants that shtuff in my belly when I should be savoring every bite for aa long as its practical. Anyway, it seems to be that late night is when fast food restaurants slow down enough to take pride in what they create for the rest of us to enjoy. I run into this type of suprise quite often on my late night hypes. Anyway, gotta give props and credit where its due. Whoever made my sandwich is due for a decent raise. Ill be back soon. If you dont see an update, this experience is consistent.
Thanks Jack. X jkjkjkj”

“Open dine-in 24/7. If they get the order wrong they fix it, helpful staff. Can be busy/slow during rush weekends times. You might see the occasional transient late at night.”

“The best Jack In the Box I've been to. Seemed like they actually care about customers.”

“So good! Our first time and definitely not our last!”

“Very much comfort food! I ordered the yellow braised chicken (bone-in) for lunch. It came with a bowl of rice. The chicken is very tender, and the bones were mostly easy to remove. I would love to try the spicy version next time since the fruit peppers weren’t spicy at all. I also loved the mushroom in the pot. Would love to come here again!”

“I have been looking for good Indian food since i came to the Bay Area and must say the food here at Shahi Darbar was really delicious also Amit helped and suggest good recommendations.”

“Excellent Mongolian BBQ place where we can adjust the sauces and make it as hot as we want. Sauces came with instructions so I didn't need to guess. Good food and vegetable selections and the ice-cream that came with the package is good! Highly recommend this place!!! Clean, family friendly environment. The owners and staff are all very nice.”

“Great ramen and reasonable”

“My girlfriend and I have always looked at this place and took a chance and stopped by. It was really good. I had the wrap. Bathrooms are clean. They even have toothbrushes in the bathrooms so you can brush your teeth after your meal. They even have DJ lights. Super friendly personnel. Next time I got to try the beers.”

“Salt & Straw never fails to amaze! They have some of the most unique and weird flavor combinations you’ll ever see, but somehow every single one tastes absolutely incredible.
​The Pear & Blue Cheese is spectacular, and the Chocolate Gooey Brownie is pure perfection. If you're on the fence about trying their wilder flavors, just go for it—they nail the balance every time. Easily one of the best ice cream spots around!”

“I loved this when this place was at its peak. It's still good, but it used to be great.

We usually get the three fish, this is one of the the only places with the yam noodles, and they are pretty generous with their portions.”

“Tasty, line always long. I usually came 1 time per week, but today the squid have iron dish brusher in it, will still go but the restaurant should take it seriously.”

“One of the best food I ever had in California.”

“Cero worked with me from “afar” NC! He was patient and kind. He delivered exactly what we wanted for my brother’s retirement party. Highly recommend! S Jones North Carolina”

“Love, Love, Love this place! Lee's is authentic Chinese food. They've been in business for over 30 years and there's a reason for it. Delicious food, wonderful people that treat you like family. I love the walnut shrimp, pork chow mein, Mongolian beef, black mushroom chicken, and won ton soup. Hole in the wall, delicious food!! You've got to try it!”

“We had such a wonderful experience at Nick the Greek! Special mention to Miguel and Steven who took care of us during dinner provided phenomenal customer service. They were both friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel valued from the moment we walked in. It’s rare to come across service that leaves such a lasting impression. Thank you both for your hospitality, you made our dining experience even more enjoyable. We will definitely be back!

— JJ and family”

“I got a slice of meat lover’s pizza, a small Minute Maid Agua Fresca and Honest Tea! I really enjoyed it! I consider coming back again! :)”

“avocado toast and latte with oat milk ... the coffee is great!”

“100% recommended!! 🤩 warm, chewy delicious ✨”

“update July 2026 : they have maintained the same quality of food over the years which is no easy feat. We love getting food picked up from their new retail location. But the website ordering can be simplified. The timings when they are open is also a bit confusing and it seems like it changes often. I was planning on picking up meals there in the evenings and I try to pick up a bit early before the evening 5 pm snacks rush begins. But it looks like the timings are changed again. The website says Not accepting Orders but the UberEats app shows it's available.
They have the delicious food and quality part down but the long wait times for food pickup/ eating-in, the changes in timings and all of that needs to be ironed out.

Older review: Delicious, hygienic food packed in compostable containers. I have tried their order-ahead and pick up option and the food quality has been consistently delicious. The food is not overly indulgent, making for a guilt-free eating out experience. Since the menu is small and made-to-order, it is all freshly made. You cannot have this in a restaurant set-up where most of the food is partially pre-made. Hope they continue making good quality food and serve retail customers.”

“Got the chicken wrap that comes with a side and got the fries. The toum was the highlight as a lot of other reviews mentioned. The wrap itself was also nicely crisped and the fries were also nice and crispy.”

“I had a great time over there. Delicious food 🥘”

“hot and fresh the way I like my food”

“Tasty Italian gelato 🍧 ice cream, not too sweet; just right!”

“Finally made the 90-minute trek to Dave’s Hot Chicken with the fam! 🍗 The vibe was great—super friendly staff and a very clean spot despite the crowd. The chicken was fresh, hot, and delicious. Only downside was no cheese sticks today, but that just gives us an excuse to come back soon!”

“Very authentic flavors, reminded me of the times I ate at the ryoutei style restaurants in Japan! サーモンハラスの塩焼き - Grilled salmon belly 生うどん - Fresh udon noodle soup ユズ香る茶碗蒸し - Egg custard with yuzu with crab sauce on top イイダコの唐揚げ - Deep fried mini octopus”

“Friendly. Excellent customer service!”

“First time there and the food was absolutely amazing - can not recommend the brisket”

“Just some ladies putting together tasty banh mi. It's fairly priced, they're nice, chill vibe. Their summer rolls are fresh and quite good as well! Parking right out front is 24', long enough to eat a sandwich.”

“Mio Vicino is a Santa Clara institution. Consistently great food. Friendly atmosphere. It’s a Perry family go to place for sure! 😎👍🏼”

“Everything great except for the pork 😔”

“first time in and I will be back! Delicious burger

Well priced food and drinks! Excited to have this place locally now, will be back for football games and dinners/beer with friends!

All the food around me looked great too!”

“One of the best RAMEN 🍜 I have ever taste and highly recommended.”

“the best of best good food and sweet 🎂🎂🎂”

“Perfect ristretto - and good advice on where to find real espresso bars ☝️😎🌋”

“There’s absolutely nothing to complain about when it comes to the dining experience here. Every single dish served is exceptional and bursting with flavor. The chutneys are particularly incredible, with the ginger chutney standing out as a must-try. Whether you decide to try any dosa on the menu, I am absolutely certain that it will be a delightful experience. Overall, it is truly an amazing experience that leaves you wanting to return.”

“This is definitely a dive bar, but with a friendly vibe. We usually go to see a friend's band play, so I can't speak to other nights.

The bartender also seems to be the owner (and only staff), but she's friendly and the prices for beer on tap are reasonable.

Despite having no bouncer, I've never seen any problems.

I think they serve a limited food menu, but I've never had any, so I can't speak to that.

We have fun when we go, and that's the most important thing.”

“Love it! Tried all the veggie options and especially loved the eggplant and shittake ones! Can''t wait to try the salmon next time. Great price point at 3.99 each!”

“Beautiful bartenders, greatest service the people there are so friendly and nice. Great environment to hang out relax and get to know new people and make new friends.”

“Perfect! Delicious, healthy food, prepared with love! Watching the game was a bonus, Thank you so much

Vegetarian options: Falafel, grilled cheese with mushrooms, garden burger.”

“I love the omelet rice and siu-mai :) The space inside isn't huge but I think that adds to the homey vibes 🤗 I think all portions are generous - enough to take home leftovers. She even takes it to the back and puts them in boxes for you which I appreciate. I always leave very full and happy haha, and it's nice to see the owners' kind faces every time I come back!”

“This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in San Jose they have the best Mongolian beef in the Bay Area there chicken chow main is yummy and their lunch specials are great it’s a little pricey but it’s worth it.”

“Excellent products and great attention from the staff Many tables inside, cozy atmosphere Sometimes in summer we set outside I highly recommend this place.”

“Food was incredibly delicious and had generous portions. Friendly staff as well. Would highly recommend eating here if you’re craving Korean food. I was surprised at how good it was for a chain restaurant.”

“we are here a lot,fresh food, clean and neat area, staff are great.”

“Really great food! I would recommend the kulcha and the pani puri! I had some doubts that it wouldn’t be as good as the Fremont food truck but food was just as good! We’ll be back”

“Absolutely delicious food”

“10/10 the quality speaks for itself. Consistently delicious and friendly staff. I am not much of a pepperoni person, except for at this place. I’ve had a couple different flavors and sauce/ topping combinations, and everything is top tier from here.”

“Very satisfied fast and friendly Hot fries and Cora pounder”

“This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in San Jose they have the best Mongolian beef in the Bay Area there chicken chow main is yummy and their lunch specials are great it’s a little pricey but it’s worth it.”

“Extremely fresh press non-GMO corn Masa. They made us a burrito that was gluten-free and the best burrito that I’ve ever had in my life.”

“The young ladies there are so very helpful! They are kind enough to heat up my bread and they seem happy to be there.”

“Love this place. Have loved Dim Sum for many years. Now I have my go to place.”

“This is the best authentic Korean style bbq i have ever had! Sun hee is the best chef around town for all bbq and Korean style food Me and my family had the Egg wrapping with fried rice and it was the best!!”

“The food was amazing. The service was also great (Tyler served us)”

“we are here a lot,fresh food, clean and neat area, staff are great.”

“Service was very slow considering restaurant wasn't full. They didn't even acknowledge that we were celebrating an anniversary which we noted on the reservation”

“Puranpoli is an incredible gem that brings authentic Indian flavors to life! The puran poli is simply outstanding—soft, deliciously sweet, and perfectly spiced. The warm, inviting atmosphere makes it a great setting for enjoying traditional dishes. The menu offers a wonderful array of options, ensuring there's something for everyone. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall experience. Every visit feels like a special occasion, and I can't recommend this place highly enough for those looking to indulge in genuine Indian cuisine!”

Was able to cover it up a bit with a bit of raw onion from my burger and an extra packet of spread”

“The service and the atmosphere are pretty good, but we felt the food was alright. Most of the food was a little too sweet for me. Some unique items on the menu, so definitely worth trying it once.”

“Nice friendly staff, clean restaurant we go there every Monday or Tuesday”

“Fresh and fabulous ❣️ Worth the wait, for sure😋”

“Excellent food and service. Value for your money.”

“There’s absolutely nothing to complain about when it comes to the dining experience here. Every single dish served is exceptional and bursting with flavor.

Whether you're enjoying a casual dinner or a special celebration, Iraklis delivers an exceptional dining experience every time. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Greek cuisine!”

“We visited this place on a busy Tuesday night, and it was packed. Please factor in a waiting time when you arrive, as they’re understaffed and orders can take a while. To avoid waiting, I recommend ordering everything at once. The order of service is also random, so we received our jasmine tea after our main course.

Now, let’s talk about the food. The Tom kha soup, pratha with panang curry, pad see ew, pad kee mao and pineapple and basil rice were all fantastic and bursting with flavour. The egg rolls, however, were disappointing. The mango sticky rice was also a good choice.

One thing to keep in mind is that bills often have extra charges. If you notice them, let the staff know, and they’ll remove them since it’s their fault. If you miss it, you’ll end up paying the extra charge.

Overall, the service could definitely be improved, but the restaurant’s ambiance is great.”

“Tasty food, family style and friendly service.”

“Loved the food quality and hospitality.. I will surely keep visiting it 👍🏻”

“Got the chicken wrap that comes with a side and got the fries. The toum was the highlight as a lot of other reviews mentioned. The wrap itself was also nicely crisped and the fries were also nice and crispy.”

“love everything about it. The food was amazing and the drinks”

“I had a great time over there. Delicious food 🥘”

“I come here almost every week for breakfast! Their Mentaiko Salt Bread is one of my favorites — so flavorful and delicious. I also really love the Onion Cream Bread. Both are so good and always worth coming back for. Definitely one of my favorite breakfast spots! 🥐🤍”

“Not my first time here. This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Bay Area, simply because food tastes so good and consistent in quality.

This time we had:
Shang hai crab roe noodles
Crab roe fried rice
Mongolian Wagyu beef
Crab roe & pork soup dumplings

The food was amazing, as always. Everything tasted fresh and absolutely delicious! My favorite dish is Shanghai crab roe noodles, rich, creamy, and always packed with flavor. I also fell in love with the crab roe fried rice, even though it was my first time trying it. The Mongolian Wagyu beef was tender and perfectly seasoned. The crab roe & pork soup dumplings arrived hot, comforting, and full of flavor as well.

The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food, and the service is always a 10/10. Our dishes started arriving less than 5 minutes after we placed our order, which was impressive.

This continues to be my forever favorite restaurant at Westfield Valley Fair, and I’ll definitely keep coming back.”

“I’ve visited The Halal Cartel many times, and it’s honestly one of my favorite spots for a quick and filling meal. Every time I visit, the place is busy, which says a lot about how popular it is.

I tried the Cartel Chicken Rice Bowl, and it was really good and very filling. The rice itself is very flavorful and perfectly seasoned. I’ve tried rice bowls at several other Middle Eastern places, but the rice here really stands out to me. Combined with the white garlic sauce, spicy sauce, Cartel Special Sauce, and your choice of toppings, it makes a really satisfying meal. You can also customize the bowl and choose all the toppings you want.

The wraps are also really good. They normally come with three toppings, but you can request all the toppings if you want. Rice bowls are usually prepared extremely fast—sometimes in just about 2 minutes. Wraps usually take around 5–10 minutes, and sometimes a little longer when it’s busy.

The Mango Jalapeño Lemonade is a must-try. It’s super refreshing with a great sweet and spicy combination. The Strawberry Lemonade and Blue Raspberry Lemonade are also good.

The falafel is really good, and the masala fries are another favorite of mine.

The place also has both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor area has a playing area with table tennis, snooker, and some other games, which makes it a great place to hang out with friends while enjoying your food.

The management and staff are friendly and welcoming. Even though the place is almost always busy whenever I visit, the service is still pretty good.

Overall, I definitely recommend The Halal Cartel if you’re looking for flavorful halal food, especially if you enjoy rice bowls and wraps. I’ve visited many times, and the food has been consistently good. The flavorful rice is definitely one of the highlights for me.”

“Such a hidden gem. Authentic flavors. Yummyyyy food. Quality halal meats. Free tea. Cute seating area. I’m tatar and super stoked to find some central asian cuisine here in santa clara🫶 plov was on point, so was the lagman!!”

“Excellent Sonoran dog and garlic fries! Will definitely be back to try another dog from their huge selection!”

“Really happy that this place has opened in our neighborhood- walking distance for us! Amazing burgers and sandwiches, plus great fries. We especially enjoyed the beer selection. I mentioned that they should get Humble Sea Socks and Sandals on tap, and the manager gifted me a can from the fridge to thank us for coming in. Super nice of him- I didn’t expect that at all. Plus, the next visit they had S&S on tap.

I especially recommend the grilled chicken club- juicy and perfectly cooked, and delicious with the sauce and fresh lettuce and tomato.”

“This was our first visit to Cairo Grill and we were very impressed by the quality of the food and variety! You’ll get the most authentic taste of Mediterranean foods there. And the rice pudding is a 10/10! You must try this for dessert! The grocery store is also truly unique and has a variety of products that you will not find anywhere else”

“Like it says on the tin, a little slice of the divine for nerds who like games.
With regular events highlighting the range of gaming; video games from east to west & tabletop of every sort. Starting from the menu items and radiating out from there, it's hard to not find something a geeky heart enjoys.
Owned & staffed by individuals dedicated to the shop as well as the culture, it's easy to feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
They even attend cons, so be sure to check them out there for exclusives you might not get back to the shop!”

“Very tasty food the paratha is like homemade and for the price totally worth it.

We got chicken tikka kulcha and chaat very tasty too.

The show stopper jalebi was too good hot and crisp not too sweet.

Overall worth eating 😋

The truck is placed to the right corner of the place.”

“Best part is very close to Levi's Stadium.
Good space in and out seating. Most of the food and drinks options are available for sale.
Friendly staffs.

“Perfect ristretto - and good advice on where to find real espresso bars ☝️😎🌋”

“I ordered a mango-orange-papaya smoothie. (you can mix and match from about 8-10 fruit options). For <$10 I got a large glass of some really excellent smoothie with exactly those ingredients + some ice. It was tasty, it wasn't too sweet, and it was a generous quantity. The only minor complaint was that the straw they gave was too short for the glass! (should've got a picture before consuming the whole thing but I forgot, picture attached just shows the serving size). Would definitely visit again.”

“I hosted a Bosnian watch party here, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Brianna was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. She was responsive, organized, accommodating, and made the entire process seamless.

The service on the day of the event was outstanding, everything ran smoothly, and our guests had a fantastic time.

Thank you, Brianna, and the entire team, for helping make our watch party such a success. I highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to host a group event!”

“Great service. The team seems happy and empowered here. Nice atmosphere with students and professionals being productive and social. Tasty pistachio cookie - chunky and moist.”

“Got the guava matcha and the peach rice mochi yogurt (seasonal)

The matcha was nice but the recommended 50% sweetness was too sweet.

The yogurt drink was unique. Haven't seen it in other places in the area.”
