“Chai is great, tastes basically as good as Coupa's“

“Had lunch here yesterday while passing through the area, the mushroom pide was out of this world. The pastry/crust was unbelievably fresh and the flavor was delicious! Our server Umut was super friendly and attentive. Positive experience all around!“

“Their tilapia fillet is excellent. Gyros is good. Best baklava. Staff are friendly, cordial, polite and professional. As soon as we walked in, they recognized us.“

“Very Nice staff and very clean kitchen and they always treat ME LIKE FAMILY WHEN I COME IN. I recommend this place and its a great addition to our community. Love Teena“

“Food: only ordered vegetarian food and everything was amazing. Falafel was probably the softest I have ever had so far and the mezze sampler was also quite good. I'll recommend starting off with sampler and ordering anything you like as a separate dip. Street fries were also good. They have unlimited tea and the mint lemonade was super refreshing.

Service: this place has minimal interaction with servers as every table has a QR code to order food and pay when you order.

Atmosphere: divided into 3 parts outdoor, indoor and patio. Indoors is bright with open kitchen and patio is dark with plants, string lights and heaters. Sat in patio and loved the vibe.“

“Zadna is wonderful.The food is absolutely delicious and the people are fabulous. Please make sure to support them.They deserve it.“

“Excellent food, drinks and service.“

“We have ordered only twice so far. The Greek salad is spectacularly good, as was the Adana wrap; and we enjoyed the Vegetarian Combo. The shawarma chicken on the Greek salad with chicken item was tough and chewy; and had little flavor, as if it had been left over from a day or two ago--most disappointing as I had read reviews praising it.“

“Great food. The Kunafa is so nice, you'll order it twice.

The owner such a lovely and friendly person, constantly checking in to see if you're enjoying the meal.

Highly recommended, especially if you're looking for a halal place.“

“We started out with Hummus and pita from there we ordered dinner. We received so much food! I can’t imagine the one that said they didn’t get enough. I believe as full as we are, we secretly looking forward to our midnight munchies.
Thank you very much, The “

“Ever since I walked into this restaurant, I instantly fell in love. The clean, healthy, tasty, perfectly portioned sized, and masterly prepared dishes by Ali, and his friendly staff, keep me coming back. My new favorites are the lentil soup, and lamb shank (limited menu special). Satisfying food experience I highly recommend.“

“Delicious, fresh ALWAYS food. Check out the hummus when made by the lady owner. It is the smoothest, most delicious I have ever eaten!“

“good food and helpful service“

“Had a wonderful, fresh breakfast and a nice dinner at the restaurant in The Westin in Palo Alto. The breakfast I chose was the bar which included eggs, bacon, potatoes, and French toast. Cereal, coffee, OJ, and toast was available as well a 8 varieties of fruit.For dinner, I started with the cheese plate and finished with the Soleil Burger with Gilroy fries. Long Islands were outstanding. The cheese plate was excellent and served with toast. The burger was cooked to perfection with bacon and cheddar.“

“What a gem and food was so generous and good quality! Owner Jonathan and staff are amazing! Treat you like family even tho it was my first visit. Offered to let me try so many small sides on the house just so I could try more items on the menu. If eaten immediately at the restaurant, everything was crispy and seasoned perfectly, not greasy at all. Will be back and definitely recommending to friends.

Businesses like this is what make the bay amazing!“

“Tasty and healthy food at the right price. I ate here twice after hiking in Palo Alto and one of the best wraps I have ever had“

“When it comes to Mediterranean food, Falafel Tazah truly stands out. I've been a loyal customer at all of their locations for over ten years, and I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal. Their chicken and veggie kabobs are my go-to favorites, and their falafels, hands down the best I've ever had. Their food certainly lives up to the name with that unmistakable fresh taste every single time.

The restaurant is always spotless and impeccably maintained, which adds to the whole experience. The owner is genuinely one of the friendliest people you'll meet and goes out of his way to make sure every customer leaves happy.

Keep up the amazing work, Team Falafel Tazah!“

“Really cool place. The food is real quality, so many options.

However they won't add hummus or babba to a wrap, blame the manager. With a full deli on steroids and the ability to sell you any portion size on the side. It's very disheartening.

But this place is amazing. I would come back and really recommend it“

“Wow! My new all-time favorite Mediterranean restaurant. As soon as you walk in the aromas from the kitchen are just astonishing. The space is warm and welcoming. Even on the Wednesday after Thanksgiving, it was filled with happy people sitting at the bar and tables eating and enjoying camaraderie. Since it was my first time, I ordered the six side dish sampler and every single one was phenomenal. The hummus is a garlicky herbed slice of heaven. The baba ghanoush is without a doubt the best I have ever tasted. Then there was an eggplant dish with maple syrup and pomegranate seeds that just explodes with deliciousness. I had the beet salad with goat cheese and it's just delightful. Since I was alone, I was limited as to how many items I could try, but I cannot wait to come back with my family and order up a storm! Thank you Tamra Mediterranean grill for a truly exceptional dining experience.“

“I fully enjoy every time I come to cafe 220 and often bring a friend. Their spanakopita plate tastes as good as it looks- I highly recommend! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I also really appreciated how my friend and I were given some tiny cups of tea on the house without us asking for them! They did this for me and another friend on a different occasion too so it seems like they regularly give complimentary tea if they can tell you’re staying to chat a bit longer. I will continue coming back and recommending to friends. Surprised they don’t have a higher rating!“

“Absolutely exquisite food that comes out fresh. Service was amazing & the people even though busy were very very helpful. Can't recommend this place & food enough.“

“Would have been so much better if I could have gotten the extra tzatziki sauce I asked for. What a let down! I only wanted more tzatziki sauce. And I didn't get my fries on the side. Pay attention. People! Pay attention! I would review at an excellent rate had you provided me what I simply asked for.“

“Excellent food, drinks and service.“

“I was visiting the area and found this place on Maps near my hotel. WOW what a find! It was hard making a decision, because everything on the menu sounded great. I got a kefta kebab plate: 3 big pieces of kefta on yellow rice with roasted veggies. It came with a nice salad with lots of finely chopped Persian cucumbers, and a very generous dollop of hummus. And, of course, a lovely big pita. This made dinner last night and lunch today. So yummy. If you like spice, say YES to the hot sauce! Tangy and delicious.

Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, baba ganouj

Dietary restrictions: Halal meat“

“This place is very affordable and the food is delicious. We always like to come here with our friends and sometimes we have to be quick otherwise all tables are full! What I would improve, and I've been thinking about this every time I come here, is definitely the ACOUSTICS! Every time the sound is very lous and you can barely hear the next person talking! Especially when it's full. I would recommend some wall acoustic panels for the TV wall. There are nowadays very modern and affordable solutions for acoustic paneling.“

“Great veggie burger. Will go back.“

“We love this place — incredibly impressed without exception. Delicious and flavorful food, a really fun back patio with a delightful waterfall and other sweet decorations, and unfailing fantastic service. Highly recommend (for lunch or dinner), including a sophisticated atmosphere for special occasions“

“Anatolian Kitchen sat us at 8:45 on a Thursday evening when most other nearby restaurant kitchens were closed. Service was exceptional, our cocktails, appetizers, and main courses were perfectly prepared and delicious. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality.“

“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.“

“Everything! It's a flawless dining experience.“

“The red and green sauce are off the hook!“
