3 stars for the delicious food but should have been 4.25, maybe even 5 stars if not for a disappointing customer service issue on my latest visit So glad Dish N Dash finally opened a location in the Tri-Valley. Used to be a semi-regular customer when I lived in the South Bay. Already visited this new Dublin branch 5 times in July alone between the 8th thru the 30th. Receipts posted. Love the whole menu but what got me excited was how vegetarian friendly the menu was. Got a health scare recently. Hopefully the issue was discovered in time. So I must really be intentional about my food choices, eating more veg and limiting carbs. And while I'm learning to like salads, I prefer cooked veggies. My 1st visit, fell head over heels for the vegetarian platter. The falafel were piping hot and delicious. The tabouli salad was yummy but while bulgur is supposed to be a good carb, I chose to use my carb allotment for the pita instead. I used it to scoop up the delicious hummus, babaganoush, and red bell pepper walnut dips. My dad loved eggplant but I never liked it as a kid. The mushy texture and grey slime was off-putting. Times have changed. The babaganoush is to die for. Love the smoky flavor and the slightly warm mash actually makes for a great "scoop"able dip. The falafel wasn't as good on the 2nd visit. It wasn't as hot as the last time. The cooler temp changed the eating experience. The crust was a bit harder and cut up the roof of my mouth a little bit. The texture was crumbly and dry in the mouth. Had to take it home to reheat. Much better hot. My 3rd visit was for takeout. Got some more of the yummy babaganoush and red bell pepper walnut dips. Ignored the pita and made a crudite platter with baby carrots, endive, Persian cucumbers, green beans, jicama, radish, and grape tomatoes. On my 4th visit, shared a lamb wrap with my sister. So yummy. This time again ignored the pita and slathered the babaganoush on the wrap. Also loved the grilled veg side. So colorful chock full of different veg. 5th visit was a little bit of a bummer. Got the grilled salmon which included a carb side of rice or freekeh. Asked to replace the carb side with grilled veg instead. I know freekeh is another good carb but since I have a limited daily carb allowance, I wanted to use it on the grilled veg and not on a starch. The cashier let me have the substitution but gave me a hard time about it. Said they'll do it this time but don't expect the same courtesy in the future. Totally sapped my enjoyment of the yummy food. Do not enjoy being scolded like a child. The rest of the menu is highly customizable but they will draw the line on substituting veg v. starch sides? This is the hill they will die on? Really? Ugh. Dish N Dash please change this policy. Let all sides be equally interchangeable. (1) If cost is the issue, then offer the exchange for a small fee. (2) If it is because staff is new, then they shouldn't be flying solo in a customer-facing job until they are fully trained. The point is to say no without scolding the customer. I'm well into middle age and far from being a child. These swaps were not frivolous. I was not trying to be a jerk but some food could literally affect my health. And I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to be more responsible health wise.

Very good and lots of options to pick from. Glad we got there right at lunch hour, because people started filing in soon after. Order at the counter, grab a number, and grab a table. There are plenty of tables to choose from. I chose the grilled kefta kebab plate which comes with two sides and your choice of grain. I chose the grileld veggies, lentil soup, and feekah - a smoked green wheat which I had never tried before but would totally order again! Left completely stuffed. Great place for a group or for a lunch date.

Dish N Dash is a huge, slow-casual Mediterranean restaurant in the Hacienda Crossings in Dublin, located behind Best Buy and across from Dublin Toyota? By slow-casual, you order from a huge menu and pay first. They'll cook and prepare your food to order and bring to your table. This is not a Chipotle-style assembly line. The food here is outstanding and all three meats we got were seasoned and super moist and juicy. Highly recommend the beef and chicken kabob plates, which each come with tons of sides. Freekah and aged basmati rice are both good. Meats were perfectly cooked, and beef was soft a 6yo kid can chew with no issues. For sides, we liked lentil soup, grilled veggies, hummus, and baba ghanoush. Another healthier option is their salad with a thick, basil-tahini salmon filet. Loaded with contrasting flavors, textures, and color from all the veggies. The Pomegranate dressing was hardly needed. Definitely adding this one to our lunch rotation. Maybe we can even Door Dash from Dish N Dash, LOL!

I love me some Dish N Dash. First time to this Dublin location and went for a Wednesday lunch. Plenty of parking. Very spacious restaurant with lots of seating and most of the TVs were showing the World Cup match. We ordered at around 11:40 with no line. The lunch rush came after we ordered and the line was almost out the door. I was with some former coworkers and we weren't doing family style, so I decided to try something new. Our family usually gets Mansaf and a few skewers plates. I went with the Salmon Salad. The salmon is fantastic - tender, flavorful, and a large portion. One of my sides was Baba Ghanoush which I mopped up with my pita bread and Za'atar Lavash Chips. My other side was seasoned Fries. Those had some crispiness but I thought overall were on the soft side and just not super exciting. My coworker got the Spiced Carrots & Walnuts and highly recommended that. That one is not usually in my consideration set, so I'll have to try it next time. The staff was nice enough to let me try both salad dressings. A pomegranate vinaigrette and a lemon oregano vinaigrette. The pomegranate one was quite sweet with some tartness and definitely had pomegranate flavor. The lemon oregano was on the oilier side (seemed like the emulsion was broken). I thought they were both ok, but I might have liked the salad with just the self serve cilantro-mint and yogurt garlic sauces. If you haven't tried Dish N Dash yet, please go check it out! It's pretty healthy food, enormous portions, well prepared, and super flavorful food.

I was so excited for the new location to be opened in Dublin as it is closer to me (in comparison to fremont and milpitas). I've tried other locations and dish n dash never disappoints. My normal order is the chicken kabob/ beef kabob with rice, falafel and fries, alongside a side of hummus. Chicken/Beef kabob - 10/10, both proteins were cooked perfectly juicy and well-seasoned. Rice was well cooked, and both fries and falafel were super crispy and nicely seasoned (definitely pairs great with the side of hummus). hummus - 10/10, absolutely a delicious side, one of my go-to orders. hummus is super flavorful with a great consistency. Staff were friendly and food came out fast. The restaurant is great with seating (choose where you want to sit), and has a nice, modern ambiance. Overall, food is delicious and pricing is fair for the quality and portion of food. Definitely coming back again!

Ordered dinner to go a couple of weeks ago for a friend and myself. Online ordering and customizing was very easy and my food was ready by the time I had selected. Items ordered: Beef hummus- My friend who is Middle Eastern loved this!! Chicken skewer salad- Large portion and taste was fresh and chicken was not dry. Chicken shawarma- Large portion and taste was so good! Baklava crumble- Got this for my friend and he loved it! Restaurant was clean and staff were friendly. I am so happy Dish n Dash is now in Dublin!

Everything was fresh, well seasoned and made to order. The highlight for me were the felafels. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The kofta kabob were juicy, I would have preferred even juicier. The restaurant is well designed and the restroom and ramp are ADA compliant. The service was excellent.

Wow, what an excellent meal and overall dining experience! Made it feel like I was dining at home with family. Food was super tasty, staff were friendly and helpful, and service was super efficient! I can say without a doubt that the food was just as good as my excellent mother-in-laws authentic Lebanese cooking! We ordered two plates, a chicken kabob plate and a sumac chicken salad. For desert we enjoyed a yummy kunafa which was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Truly blown away by the overall level of hospitality and such a great atmosphere. Lots of families of various backgrounds enjoying meals with their families. Multiple TVs all throughout showing various sporting events. Lots of elegant and modern interior and an abundance of seating options: from private two-seater booths, to large round tables, to comfortable and private outdoor seating. Everything was clean, including the bathrooms. Highly recommend, we will be back SOON!

A casual spinoff of the legendary Sunnyvale restaurant, Dish N Dash features a modern, Californian take on Middle Eastern cuisine in a counter-service setting with plentiful seating. We started with the Veggie Delight, a mezze platter of falafel, hummus, tabouli, babaghanouge, red pepper-walnut dip, feta, greens, and pita slices. My personal favorites were the creamy hummus and crispy falafel, but every component was delicious! Another highlight of the menu was their vibrant salads, made of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, herbs, olives, and za'atar lavash chips. The fresh and crunchy salad was topped with a corn-edamame salsa and pulled sumac chicken, tender pieces of chicken spiced with citrusy sumac. But the most unique, authentic Middle Eastern dishes on the menu were their entrees, including the Tabsi, an acidic mixture of stewed eggplant, onions, tomatoes, peppers, garlic, and dry lime in a mild curry, topped with a tender fillet of salmon. Their signature dish was the Mansaf, tender chunks of lamb cooked in a creamy spiced aged yogurt sauce, which had a deep, umami, tangy flavor. Both dishes came with freekeh, cracked wheat with a smokey aroma. Every dish we had here delicious, and everything came at a decent value with friendly service too!

I dropped in to pick up an early dinner on a Saturday night. I had called in my order and to my surprise later learned that they were so busy they had temporarily stopped online and phone orders that night after my order. There was a long line of customers queued to order at the counter and tables were noticeably full of patrons with well presented dishes and a wide array ot types of food. Lots of large groups. Festive atmosphere with everyone enjoying the food and conversation. Simple and modern decor and a large dining space. We had a variety of mixed plates: - Kufta with Freekeh, Falafel and Salad - Chicken Kebab with Freekeh, Salad and Babaghannouge - Tabsi Kufta with Basmati Rice The portions were generous and quite tasty! We will definitely be back!

So glad we finally got a Dish n Dash! Ordered for pickup on a weekday and it was crowded in the parking lot (a good sign!). Husband said it was well organized inside in terms of where to pick up to-go orders, etc. The food was delicious, and the portions were hearty. Hubs got the Beriani Dajaj. It was surprisingly saucy. We thought it would be a drier dish, but it was very good nonetheless. And the extra sauce was so good mixed with the rice. I got the grilled chicken shawarma with garlic dip and tabouli as my sides. It was also very good and so flavorful. I do wish there'd been a little more tabouli, but the garlic dip was fantastic. The shawarma comes with edamame corn salsa, which tasted fine but the I didn't care for the textures. I'd probably ask to exclude the next time if I remember. It wasn't a deal breaker, just more chewing than I wanted. But hey, there are so many other things on the menu we want to try. They even have fresh pressed juices! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Came here on a Friday for dinner. This is a counter service type restaurant. You order at the counter, then find a table. Your food will be brought out to you. It was obviously busy as they had just opened the Wednesday prior. The restaurant is nice and new. Aesthetically, not as nice as the Cupertino location, but still fine. Lamb Shwarma grill plate - 4/5: always my favorite with hummus, cabbage and walnuts, with freekah. All very tasty, not overcooked. First time trying the cabbage and walnuts. That was a nice surprise and will order it in the future as a side. Sauces available was yogurt, chipotle yogurt, green and red sauce. Not sure what the last two sauces were called, but those are spicy. Chicken shawarma grill plate - 4/5: very good with a nice spicy, not hot flavor. The combination of tamarind and cumin is nice. Hummus on the side which is always good. Falafel was solid as well and good dipped in chipotle yogurt! Baklava - 4/5: solid offering. Buttery and crisp. Overall, great addition to Dublin. Service was very good in terms of delivery and removing your dishes. Will return again.

I visited the opening day of the new Dish n Dash location in Dublin, and it was a great first impression. I've tried their other locations like Sunnyvale and Milpitas before, so I was especially excited for their first Tri-Valley opening. The restaurant took over the former Applebee's location and completely redid the space. The ambience is now rustic and chic, a major change from before. There's plenty of seating with both an outdoor patio and an indoor dining area. For the opening, it was nicely decorated with balloons and flowers. The ordering system is fast-casual. You choose your table, order at the front, and the food is brought out to you. It's also self-serve for condiments and extras. For food, we tried a few items. The chicken kabob plate came with basmati rice and a choice of two sides. We chose falafel and babaganoush. We also had the chicken shawarma, which was served inside a large pita, with fries and hummus on the side. The chicken kabob was slightly dry and a bit chewy, but the falafel and shawarma were flavorful. Both plates also came with extra pita bread. Portions were generous across both plates, and everything was filling. For dessert, we ordered the baklava crumble, which was vanilla ice cream topped with flaky pieces of baklava. It worked really well as a deconstructed dessert and was a nice finish to the meal. Pricing is in the typical range for Mediterranean spots in the Tri-Valley, coming to around $20 per plate, which feels fair given the portion sizes and quality. The staff was friendly as well, and the manager came by to welcome guests, which was a thoughtful touch.
