Saw this place as I sat in traffic and wanted to patronize…read more I been waiting for like 10 mins for a lamb gyro and a chicken kabob plate - price was a fair $25 I wanted rice but they had none and gave me fries instead (which were cold when I got them) I've now seen 3 people come after me and gotten their food / it's raining outside and they're calling me brother This is weird - the food was meh

The service and ambiance are the standouts of Rumi's oasis, an Afghani-inspired cafe and bakery…read more The employee (Malalai) was super helpful and very friendly! I was most impressed by the interior design and atmosphere. It seems like they are updating some parts of the cafe right now but there are a lot of very nice tables with super cute decor and even a conversation pit in the corner! For food, I tried the Sultani Combo, which came with one lamb and one chicken kabob over basmati rice with some salad, pickled cabbage, and two naan on the side for $27. I liked the flavor of everything but I felt the chicken kabob and naan were a bit dry at times, so I asked for some more tzatziki sauce on the side, which they happily provided. Overall, I felt that it was somewhat pricey, but maybe that is the cost of the lamb and upkeep of the large interior. We also tried the afghani burger which had some special type of sausage (sorry can't remember), deviled egg halves, cucumber, tzatziki, and fries wrapped in a pita for $16. My sister enjoyed this dish although if we had to say something, we could have done with maybe a few more sausage pieces in it. I tried the Sip of Herat (pistachio-flavored) latte for $7 which was pretty good, the coffee flavor was strong and I did not taste the pistachio very much. We also tried the Gul-e-kabul (rose-flavored) latte for $7, both were a good coffee flavor so I would recommend this place if you are a coffee enjoyer. Overall, I would totally recommend this place as a hangout/study spot, I would like to come back to try some of the bakery items and some of the other drinks such as the mocktails.

Recently came back here to get some samoas. Looks like they remodeled inside the whole place! They…read moretook out the grocery store portion and made it a huge restaurant with tables with really cool wall art. Inside is really hot still. I hope they end up fixing the AC. The samoas were good and made fresh but I needed the chutney, and they didn't provide it to us. Not sure if it was supposed to come like that.

Overall the best gyro spot I have been too. They have a large variety of standard veggies…read more(cucumber, lettuce, pepperoncini) the meat is really good, portion sizes are big and the white sauce is phenomenal. Gyro and platters are great deals. The owner is really nice and works very hard. Everybody I show this place too tells me they just found their new favorite gyro/Mediterranean spot! 100% worth a try. I return often.

The falafel gyro was pretty good. Took about 10 min to get the gyro with no line. The falafel was…read moreperfectly crunchy, not too oily or salty. The sauce was tasty and hot sauce was perfect. The ends don't have falafel so I think they can add a couple more falafels to it.

We ordered chole kulche, which had butter drizzled at the top with pickle and chutney served on the side making it really delicious. We also ordered dahi papdi chaat and we liked it. For the kids we ordered masala dosa with masala on the side. I tasted the sambar and aloo and it was delicious. Staff is friendly and they told us that dosa will take 20 mins when we placed the order. I appreciate the honesty. And my younger one was very hungry so they gave me a plain puri of pani puri, which definitely helped :) Place is clean and it had a welcoming atmosphere to dine peacefully. Overall a good spot to get some delicious Indian food.

We came across this place only because the restaurant next door was closed. We decided, why not…read morecheck it out? I love Indian food! When we walked in, we were greeted by a very nice girl who was very helpful. She explained the different sweets and dishes since we had a few questions and were curious about what they offered. The desserts behind the glass looked so pretty, a sweet haven! We ordered the butter chicken entree along with garlic naan, a mango lassi, and a samosa. The samosa was a really good size, actually bigger than most places I've been to. The food was alright overall, not bad. I'm glad we stumbled upon this place. I had no idea it was right down the street from my house! It's a convenient spot, and I might come back to try other items.

This is one of my husband's favorite places in the greater Sacramento area. He has too many…read morefavorites. This is a deli and kitchen hidden in a grocery store in an unassuming strip mall in East Elk Grove. They have some of the best Levantine take-away plates in the area. There is no seating at all. The cashier is super friendly and greets you like an old friend. The beef and lamb shawarmas are delicious. Both were seasoned perfectly and was cooked just right, not too tough or over cooked. The falafel was crispy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside. Great textures. The hummus and Greek salads as sides were fine. The falafel also comes with some pita slices. The fries here are also great! Twice fried with great seasoning. Also great reheated in the air fryer.

Everything looked fresh, clean, and well organized. They also serve hot food, burgers, wraps, and a variety of ready-to-eat options. And their fries are the best! They have their own recipe and different from anywhere else especially paired with their whipped house-made mayo garlic sauce. Come and tried their fries, you won't regret it! The workers are all friendly, and I believe I spoke with the owner, who was welcoming and took the time to chat with customers. Will be returning because my favorite are the FRIES!!!

The flavor is there, the portion is there, the moisture is there, the pricing is there! Do not skip this. Go inside and order anything, I guarantee it you will be going back. Then to top it off, the staff is amazing! My son boxes next door so we are at the gym with him a lot so this is a staple meal for us a few times a week and it never gets old eating there.

While this place has gyro and falafel platters, it also offers burgers and cheeseburgers. I nearly ordered the bacon cheeseburger. But then, I stopped. Looked at the other selections offered. Then decided on the gyro platter. The guy behing the counter smiled, said for me to have a seat, and he'd get the dish ready for me, then went back into the kitchen to prepare it. This place prepares food fresh for you! When it was servd, it ws hot, smelled great, and was very very delicious. Reommended. (Note, the portion served was generous, too.)

The Butter Paneer was absolutely deliciou the best I've had in the last 17 years! My son tried Chole Bhature and Butter Paneer for the very first time, and he loved both dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Indian food, great flavors, and excellent customer service. We will definitely be back! .

Very unimpressed. My kid ordered a soda that didn't come until we got our food, and that took a…read morelong time. Ordered chicken tikka masala which tasted really weird and nothing like it should have. It's our go to item and every Indian restaurant and we were disappointed in the flavor. Saag was decent. Garlic naan had some burnt pieces but overall fine. Service was VERY slow. The one guy working the front and kept running to the back. One table had to get up and get their own glassware and then had to ask for water. The table behind us, kept getting up and waiting for the guy to come out so he could ask his questions. Once we were visibly done eating (plates moved aside, napkins on top) we sat around waiting for a while. Finally asked as he walked by for to go boxes. Then another waiting game for the check that never came. Ended up waiting at the counter so we could pay leave. I think we ended up being there about an 1hr 10m for what was supposed to be a quick lunch. By the end, my kid said we can never try another Indian restaurant and have to stick to our usual spots. I don't know if it was an off day or what, since other reviews were mostly good but we won't be trying again. For those who do, there are about 4 regular booths and one for a larger party.

Very clean and nice dining experience. No frills but just a…read morecasual meetup spot. The employee made great recommendations, great value for portion size and price. Presentation is fun, but a little cumbersome to eat from. I ordered the platter with 4 skewers- chicken was cooked nicely and moist the other beef skewers were good! I wish there was a little more flavor and salt, but maybe it's a little different than what I'm used to and preference. I think if I added a little more salt, I think would be pretty happy with it. We will be returning !

We ordered Afghan food from Ariana Gyros & Kabobs for delivery…read more We frequently got foods from Ariana before COVID, because it's the best Afghan foods in our areas. We returned many times since then but today, the old memories of why Ariana was one of our favorite restaurants returned. We ordered our favorites: Chablee kabobs, Chicken kabobs, Qabuli rice, mantoos, and Bolani. Qabuli rice or Kabuli pula, is my favorite. The basmati rice is served with the tender lamb meats. It's fragrant, eye-pleasing, and a good balance of sweet and savory spices and ingredients. It surely fits to be called the national dish of Afghanistan. Mantoos (Afghan dumplings) is the must have in my family. It's filled with ground beef and onions, covered with chickpeas sauce and tzatziki sauce and sprinkled with mint. It's refreshing. Bolani (potatoes turnovers) served with my favorite chutney that's made with cilantro, vinegar and garlic. The kabobs were tender and delicious as expected. I always like the foods from this restaurant. Today, the food arrived piping hot!! We did mostly takeouts from this restaurant for years. I noticed the restaurant did a lot of takeout orders but not many eating in. We did dine-in once, a few months ago. The restaurant updated their interior. The interior felt too dark when we went there for lunch. While the restaurant looked cleaner, I wasn't sure what the theme was. The spaces didn't seem to blend together to create a feeling of comfort. It's not enticing for us to stay to enjoy our foods inside the restaurant. But we like the foods so we will return for takeouts.
