12 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Santa Clara

“Just went here for lunch with a group of friends and it was outstanding! The food was superb, the owners/servers super friendly, and the space is very airy and inviting for such a small restaurant. One of my friends ordered almost everything on the menu for the table, and there wasn’t a bad bite on the table. Standouts included the falafel, lamb shawarma, whole fried cauliflower, and the mansaf. Tea and baklava were also delectable. I’m super excited to come back and try the few remaining things on the menu I didn’t get to sample!“

“It was not just the food which is delicious btw, but the experience that you get by visiting this small restaurant. They have small Bosnian antique corner which holds many stories. You can just feel the love they have for their food and culture. Staff and owner were extremely friendly . I highly recommend“

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

“Great food. Quick. Friendly staff. Convenient location.“

“We dined in the bar for dinner rather than restaurant area, although the menu in the bar area is the same, per our server. It was very busy due to the Rolling Stones concert so we were happy to get a table. The service was very good considering everything going on. I felt the menu was a very limited dinner menu - no real options for a vegetarian diet. I am not sure, but possibly they changed the menu that night as I did not see items that I had seen online that I was interested in. I wasn't impressed with the menu at all, but my friends liked the wings. Fries were good. Feeling kinda neutral based on the overall experience.

Vegetarian options: Other than fries, and maybe a salad (Ceasar isn't vegetarian), I can't say I had options. I didn't see a vegetarian burger of any type offered; most places offer at least vegetarian burger substitutes these days.“

“This place is amazing, surprisingly one of the best beef kafta kebabs in the Bay! Juicy and so flavorful! We eat here multiple times a week. Their steak and chicken skewers are also awesome, and their sauces really are amazingly good! Love that you can order their proteins a la carte.“

“Absolutely delicious food“

“TabarakAllah the food here was just like HOME!! It was so delicious I can’t wait to go back again. You know it’s authentic when you see all the Auntie’s working hard to cook the food for everyone. You get a lot of food for a great price!! Definitely a great place to eat!“

“Authentic and delicious. Friendly staff.“

“was at the new Santa Cruz location everything was great“

“If you're craving a solid meal, The Halal Guys is the place to go. I had the Gyro Platter, and it was awesome—great flavor and a really good deal for the price. Just a heads up, the spicy sauce is pretty hot, so be careful. A little bit goes a long way. Overall, it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re into Middle Eastern cuisine.“

“Good food, good ambience and ok service. The Falafel was great, soft on the inside cap on the outside with a tangy dip. Lemon chicken with Orzo was good overall, though the chicken could do with some more flavour. Gyro chicken also needed a bit more flavour. The chips were nice and crisp though. Sangria was perfect
Overall the portion sizes were generous and the drinks were nice.“
