“Great food!“

“Excellent middle Eastern food. The Mediterranean salad is exceptional. The shwarma is delicious as are the desserts. Very casual dining. Order at the counter and food is brought to the table. While waiting for food they bring tea to the table. A very nice touch.“

“This is a great place. Love the food. I wanted to leave a review because I made a mistake on my order (totally on me) and when I showed up at this store, Nayeli helped me out right away and fixed it even though it was my fault. Thanks very much!“

“Since moving to Concord, when I am craving any sort of gyro or shawarma this is the place I go to now. This place introduced me to the Turkish style since where I am from most shawarma places are Iraqi, Syrian or Lebanese. When I am super hungry I get the Sams combo which is worth the price. Their sauces as sides are great as well especially the red sauce. I like the brightness it brings (some say its spicy but as a spice freak, it is definitely on the tanginess/ bright side but if you dont handle spice well, you will find it spicy). Amazing falafels as that is definitely their best protein they offer not to count out their chicken and beef. I also like the chickpeas in the rice as well.

If you are in the area, definitely give Sam's a try. Anything I have ordered from their plates to their wraps has always been great. Also the hummus you can taste that its home made.“

“Savoring Lebanese cuisine; like never before . una reunión de amigos ... y una comida excelente ... de falafel boy quede impresionado. más que recomendado.“

“Joseph took gr8 care of our party of 10…service was courteous and quick.. food was delightful..well flavored meats and sides! Our vegetarian friends loved the mezze platters..no frills ambience but clean! Deft value for money proposition..will be back soon!“

“This place was pretty good, with fresh ingredients and a nice variety of vegetables, including plenty of vegetarian options. There was a good range of choices, which made it easy for everyone to find something they enjoyed.

The service was good overall, although it did take longer than expected for our food to arrive after we placed our order. It was also a little confusing figuring out which order belonged to whom. It would be helpful if the orders were clearly marked with names or table numbers to make things easier.

The ambiance was one of the highlights. The restaurant has a great modern-industrial design that gives the space a stylish but relaxed feel. They also offer outdoor seating, which is a nice option when you want to enjoy your meal outside.

Overall, we had a good experience and appreciated the fresh ingredients, variety of options, and atmosphere.“

“YUM!!! That’s all I have to say! I LOVE the food here! Healthy, tasty, and pricing is decent for the amount you receive (bowls).“

“Very good choice, great food“

“I just moved into the building, and the Oasis Cafe is the best surprise! The people are delightful and friendly, and the food is delicious! It's quite an extensive menu for such a charmingly small space. While there is limited indoor seating, there is also seating outside.“

“We had dinner here last night and truly enjoyed the whole experience. The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. What made our visit even better was the excellent service — everyone was so kind, welcoming, and attentive. The staff made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. It is not easy to find a place with both great food and such warm hospitality. We will definitely come back again. Highly recommended

“awesome place and great food“

“I used to eat here faithfully everyday 30 years ago, it was then called Truly Mediterranean, now with just the one word change, they still have the same look, and the same great food they had back then!! I love this place, keep up the good work my friends!“

“Just a wonderful local resturant. Owner is always warm and welcoming. Food is always wonderful. Fantastic atmosphere.“

“The Kebab Shop is a fantastic place for a flavorful and satisfying meal! The kebabs were delicious, tender, and well seasoned, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. The service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was welcoming. A great spot in Concord for a tasty meal—I’d definitely come back again!“

“Brunch with besties is already a treat, but here it's something really special. We had wonderful crepes, Turkish coffee, and it was my first time truing shakshuka. The atmosphere is soft and sumptuous, layered with rugs and sheepskin. The staff invited us to kick back and get cozy, and you can hardly help but relax and enjoy. Can't wait to come back!“

“The lemon potatoes are so simple yet delicious. The chicken skewers are always cooked perfectly. The seasonal watermelon salad is SO good, my only suggestion would be to add pistachios or something for crunch. I stop here for lunch quite a bit and the food and friendly service are always consistent. Ordering ahead and picking up is also super easy on their app, though when I’ve walked in they’ve been fast without sacrificing yummy.“

“Quality service at its best! Nothing artificial. Nothing fake. Two wonderful ladies offering us nutritious food topped with their sincerity and love for cooking. I am adding 5 hearts to the 5 stars for their effort to share their best ♡♡♡♡♡“
