Wouldn't be surprised if lamb was precooked 2-3 days prior.) Dips were good and fresh though. Maybe I should have gotten bbq'd items but I'd expect everything to taste good. Very "club" atmosphere with top 20 type songs playing. BYOB was nicest part!

Mazra remains amazing, and it somehow continues to improve over time. It seems like the owners &…read morestaff are always looking for ways to make the guest experience better, and it shows! As much as Mazra is great at/known for their meats, they also put so much thought and care into their vegetables. For example, our favorite mezza is their Whole Cauliflower, which is a massive cauliflower head that's roasted and then coated with a lemon tahini dressing. (They also give you more lemon to squeeze on it.) The cauliflower always comes out perfectly roasted; the inner parts are tender and toothsome, while the outer parts are crispy and a deep, golden brown. Another great vegetable option is their Veggie Plate, which is a plate overflowing with delights on a bed of their rice: falafel; a segment of their cauliflower; roasted broccoli and potatoes; their saffron mushrooms; and a halloumi roll. Each item is about as perfect as can be, and the sheer quantity makes it a fantastic deal. Of course, we still love their shawarma plates, which you can get with either chicken or steak shawarma. The meat comes thinly cut and tender, and somehow still a bit juicy! The plates are also a great value, since they come with a ton of great items that pair well with the meat. These include a rich, savory sauce (toum [garlic sauce] with the chicken, tahini with the steak) and two of their amazing sides. My favorite sides are the baba ghannoush (creamy and earthy) and their fries (golden, crispy, and pillowy). They continue improving the space, too. The pickup window makes it so much easier to get takeout, and they've really dialed in the flow of the inside and back courtyard seating areas.

Great that it is not a chain or in a large mall - it is very appropriate for its location and they have done their best to make the decor visually appealing. The menu has something for everyone, whatever your appetite and the portions are good. End of the day walking Mori Point Trails we just needed a pomegranate mixed salad and a warm Turkish dessert called Kunefe. Fantastic! Will always have this place on my list of meal options in the area. I recommend you try!

We stopped by after a long hike and were excited to try this place because of all the great…read morereviews. It was packed at 5:00 p.m., which seemed like a great sign, and it has the feel of a solid casual Mediterranean restaurant. We ordered the beef kebab dinner and the falafel dinner. We requested the beef be cooked medium rare, but when we got home, it was closer to well done. Unfortunately, the beef was quite tough and difficult to eat. We were hungry after our hike, so we ate it anyway, but it was disappointing. The falafel dinner was a little better, though nothing particularly memorable. I was surprised given the high ratings, but after reading more reviews afterward, I noticed others had also mentioned that the meat can be overcooked. Since we usually order takeout, I probably wouldn't return because it's too much of a gamble if the meat isn't cooked as requested. It's unfortunate, as the restaurant was busy and seemed well-liked, but this visit didn't live up to our expectations.

Two words: YUM-MO!!!!…read more Laili dishes were flavorful, varied and layered; decor was nice without being snooty; and the service was the right amount of attentiveness. We were a large group of people who hadn't seen each other in a long time, so we had a lot to catch up on, and we also were not able to get there earlier than 1 hour from closing time. Laili not only accommodated us, but also allowed us to stay there over half an hour after closing when they were done cleaning around us! They were incredibly generous with their time and space. Tip: The dining room was very spacious, so I think Laili would be perfect for large groups.

This was the first time coming here!!…read more we got SO LUCKY, because the wait was like 2 hours or something, but the host found us a seat OUTSIDE after about 10min wait and I recommend the garden patio it's so GORGEOUS. there's heat lamps too in case you forgot your jacket in the car they give you a giant pita and dip to nibble while u wait for your entree which is lovely Aushak dumplings and all of the sauces are completely DELICIOUS Cilantro Caesar salad is fantastic, i've never had caesar with cilantro before and i have been convertedd, however if you like your shrimp deveined, do not get the $18 add-on.... because they do not devein them... also, they may ask what temp for your filet mignon kebob, but we def did not get the requested temp, so uhh proceed with caution!! i would give another star if this experience wasn't so expensive LOL :D

It was absolutely spectacular. It came with Pita's fresh salad and oh my God it was so good. I ordered a bunch of things to go to take home with me because I live a far distance from this place. I found it on Apple Maps but why I was driving asking for the closest Greek place and wow am I glad Apple Maps brought me here. I will definitely be back. And what's really amazing is I just found out I lost a friend and I was sitting at the table a little teary-eyed and a lovely server brought over some tea for me while I was waiting for to go order. And guess what they were open July 4. The food is absolutely spectacular. I'm looking at all the plates of meats and everything smell so fresh I wanna order the french fries just cause they look so delicious but I'm full. I couldn't even eat my whole plate cause I was full. And even tasted gr8 the next day

The hummus was creamy, the chicken shawarma was flavorful, and the bread was so good I briefly considered putting it in my pocket for later. The Adana kebab had enough spice to remind me that I still have functioning taste buds, while the lahmacun was essentially Turkish pizza, but which raises the obvious question: Why haven't we been doing this all along? So far, so good. My stomach was optimistic. Then things became a little less heroic. Some dishes seemed to have been prepared by completely different kitchens that weren't on speaking terms. The mixed grill arrived looking like it was preparing to support me through the apocalypse. There was so much food that I started making strategic decisions about which items I would eat now and which ones I would leave behind for my imaginary second stomach. A few dishes were excellent; others were more "perfectly acceptable, but let's not get carried away." The atmosphere is pleasant, the menu has plenty of choices, and there are enough good dishes to make me want to return. But three stars feels right: not bad enough to complain, not good enough to write poetry about. I'd happily come back for the shawarma, hummus, bread, and kunafa--but next time I'm bringing stretchy pants, a financial advisor, and someone to carry me to the car. Service was okay.

We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

3.5 STARS *UNCE UNCE…read moreUNCE* I haven't been to Burlingame for dinner in a looooong time so upon arriving to Mykonos, I was surprised to find...it was poppin'! Esp when I was able to make last minute rezzies (an hour prior) and they had wide availability. The indoor dining room was packed and about 90% of the ample outdoor seating was filled. The house music was bumpin' and with the purple lighting inside, the whole vibe reminded me of Fluid Lounge in the city (iykyk). Sister resto to Roma Antica, Bottega, 'Napizza, and The Rustic in the city and Capri Lasagneria in Burlingame, Mykonos has been on my list to go to since they opened in 2020. For Burlingame standards, I found the Greek + Med fare with a full bar, to be fairly priced. They do charge a 4% hospitality fee. F O O D * Complimentary Pita Yea, it's commercial but hey, it's free and it's served warm and toasty. * Saghanaki: Pan-fried Kefalotyri Cheese w/ lemon + oregano ($14) Flamed tableside, the saghanaki makes for a great TT/reel with cheese pulls but it was just meh. It was very salty and the cast iron pan wasn't hot so the cheese quickly cooled and hardened. * Octopus w/ Greek-inspired chickpea puree ($19) Sous-vide then finished on the grill, the octopus was tender but could have used more time on the grill for a hotter temp and deeper char. The bed of chickpea puree was dry and gritty. * Lamb Riblets w/ lemon + oregano ($17) A generous portion of meltingly tender lamb riblets (5-6 bones) but I wasn't a fan of the indistinguishable brown sauce it was finished with. * Braised Lamb Shank w/ orzo & myzithra cheese ($34) A hearty comfort dish perfect for sharing, the braised lamb shank was perfectly cooked...so rich, tender, and savory with a pleasant gamey flavor. The accompanying orzo with olives was overly salty. S E R V I C E Awesome hospitality and customer service - our server was so kind, gracious and attentive with the warm manager checking in with every table. Considering how packed they were, our entire order quickly arrived and we were done in 35 minutes. A M B I A N C E Looking for club vibes? Sit indoors. Want a quieter meal with people watching? Sit outside at either the parklet, sidewalk tables, or side patio. Overall, Mykonos knows how to do lamb right! I found the food to be more reliant on salt for my preference, as I enjoy more traditional seasoning with herbs, spices, garlic, lemon, etc. 3.5 stars rounded up for the great service.

The spanakopita was delicate and the layers were perfection. The crisp was unbelievable. The flatbread pretty much deserves its own review, that's how delicious it was. It was hands down my favorite! The lamb chops were that melt-in-your-mouth delicacy that makes you happy to have taste buds! Unfortunately, I do not recommend the meatballs. They were really bland, lacking any seasoning (including salt). The disappointment was real, but it's hard to remain disappointed when everything else was beyond tasty. Oh - this is a me thing - I don't think I'll ever order a Greek coffee again. I found out that I like my coffee 100% liquid, no shadow of coffee grounds to be found... So, in essence, not Greek coffee. Now as to the dessert, I almost did a happy dance! I had the yogurt sorbet, which was delicate, flavorful, and a memorable delight. Service was phenomenal. I left too full, happy as a clam, and excited to write them a well-deserved 5-star review

My colleagues weren't as hungry as me, nor have my crazy metabolism, so I almost had a full portion of each! Ambience feels like you're in someone's upscale Greek chic interior designed home, nice but not pretentious. Staff was excellent! $13 Taramosalata, Tirokafteri, Melitzanosalata, Tzatziki - with housemade grilled pitas...a trifecta of different Mediterranean dips, perfect paired with the warm fresh pitas. $21 Anginares Souvlaki - grilled artichokes & eggplant skewer with Greek yogurt...great grilled veggies! $21 Octapodaki tou Yiorgou - traditional grilled octopus with lemon, oregano & olive oil. I honestly feel a little guilty eating these intelligent beautiful creatures, and I normally don't like octopus, but no one else was really eating it, so I didn't want to waste it...and may the Greek God Poseidon, King Triton, and Princess Ariel forgive me...but this was pretty darn good? The meat was tender, almost chicken like, easily chewed. Nice char and seasoning... $17 Horiatiki - classic Greek salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, green pepper, red onion, oregano, olives & feta...simple but fresh and good for vitamins, fiber, and your bowel movements. $33 Moussaka - baked casserole with eggplant, lamb & beef ragoût, potatoes & yogurt béchamel...I have not liked Mossaka, until now! This was darn good that I am now lover. So meaty and cheesy! $35 Kotopoulo Souvlas - lemon-oregano rotisserie chicken with garlic broccolini & Evvia potatoes...nice roasted crispy chicken skin well seasoned, with juicy, succulent white meat...so good! $58 Arnisia Paidakia* - rib-cut, mesquite-grilled lamb chops with olive oil lemon roasted potatoes. BEST LAMB CHOPS OF MY LIFE! The lamb is so tender, gamy, flavorful, with a nice char with all the secret spices. $16 Galaktoboureko...phyllo wrapped vanilla bean semolina custard with pistachio ice cream...excellent! $16 Baklava...large baklava drizzled with honey syrup served with vanilla ice cream...traditional and terrific! I think I ate about $150 in food, and $100 worth of wine and Ouzo...thank gawd I wasn't paying!

Let's start with the service. Our server was incredibly attentive from the moment we walked in. We were handed menus and then asked if we preferred still or sparkling waters - we opted for the latter. Next, he politely made some recommendations to the more popular items on the lunch menu. We went with his suggestions and he did not disappoint! For two people, we shared the following two items: * MEZZE PLATTER - hummus, babaghanouge, falafel, tabbouleh, and pita ($19) * BEET SALAD - roasted heirloom beets, carrots, goat cheese, honey thyme vinaigrette ($18) For our entrees, we had the following: * BEEF SHAWARMA WRAP - lettuce, sumac onion, pickles, tahini sauce, mixed greens ($19) * ROASTED SALMON - pacific salmon, turmeric rice, grilled broccolini ($29) Food was absolutely incredible. Fresh ingredients, simple preparation, Mediterranean fusion, and assembled thoughtfully without compromising nutrition. I am a fan. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with an inviting style for large groups, intimate fireside chats, or bar seating. They even have a pretty neat happy hour menu that I hope to check out one day. All in all, this is a top fav in South City. Looking forward to a future dining experience here!

Okay, I really like the hummus and lamb bolognese here, full stop…read more They also have really good refreshers like lemonade or dragonfruit. Our work group comes here for events often, so I've tried a lot of dishes here. The mezze platter is delicious, the falafel is okay, but everything else on the mezze platter such as the babaghanouge, tabbouleh, hummus, and pita are 5/5 stars. Other wins are the prawn pasta and the branzino. One of my favorite restaurants in downtown SSF.
