Good fresh tasting food. Love the wraps especially. The deluxe falafel wrap was flavorful and juicy. I love the depth the eggplant brings to the table. The diced veggies were plentiful. The portion was huge. The shawarma special bowl with lamb/beef was delicious and a perfect meal with all the flavors you want. The rice was cooked well, the pita was fluffy, the meat was tender and flavorful, the grilled veggies were bursting with juice. It was so savory. When it's busy it can be a bit of a wait. read more

I've lived nearby my whole life and never got to try until recently. The service was great, only outdoor seating. Food was good but not great read more

I really loved their chicken kabob plate. The chicken was juicy. The rice was fluffy. The cucumber salad was not overdressed. Every item on the plate complimented each other. What really put it over the top for me was the garlic puree and sliced pickles. read more

Falafel Tazah - Chicken Kabab Rice Plate - Falafel Near Me - San Carlos, California

In searching for a good Mediterranean restaurant near San Carlos, I discovered Falafel Tazah! We ordered various kabobs, including chicken, lamb, and shrimp and they were all pretty good! Each kabob platter comes with hummus, pita, and various veggies. Service was friendly and quick. Food was good and everything we were craving, but not the most spectacular Mediterranean food I've had hence why I wouldn't give five stars. I'd try other Mediterranean spot nearby before I go here again, just to see what's out there. But overall, friendly service, a positive experience, and good food. read more

Fast service, fairly priced, tasty and healthy food. I come here to get takeout often. I especially like the lamb kebab wraps, though they take a little bit longer (10 mins or so). read more

Falafel Tazah did perfect job with our catering order! Everything was fresh and ready right at the pickup time. We got a mix of lamb, beef, and chicken kabobs, and they were amazingly tender, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. Along with that, the family style menu also included pita, rice, salad, falafel, hummus, baba ghanouj, and baklava, which were all fresh and delicious. And to top it off, the portions were so generous that we probably could have fed another 4 or 5 people on top of the 20 we ordered for. Thanks Falafel Tazah! read more

We just ate at Falafel Tazah and it was delicious! I ordered the vegetarian plate and substituted Taziki for baba ghanoush. My husband ordered the chicken skewer bowl. Both portions were very generous. I would definitely come here again! read more

Service, Reading the reviews I thought this place would be good, to my surprise my 17 dollar chicken wrap was all veggies and wrapped as tight as a taquito. Both the cook and cashier were rude, and expressionless . Not coming here again read more

My friend and I went to this Restaurant and the food was fresh and soooo good! Chicken was not dry and they give a good portion! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly and smiles and the place and bathroom were clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely come back! read more

The Chicken Shawarma Wrap with an ice cold can of Diet Coke is delicious! I highly recommend Falafel Tazah to any Middle Eastern food fan, any fast food fan, and all T.J. Maxx and Best Buy shoppers. read more

I come to Falafel Tazah occasionally over the years. It was pretty solid. My go to is the chicken shawarma salad. It has been probably 6 months since my last visit and they have gone down hill! First of all, I was a little surprised by the 23.00 price. I have ordered this salad at Loutus and Mazra and this is by far the priciest. Not sure why as it is primarily a take out place. But the biggest issue was the scant amount of dry, bland chicken that was put on top of a huge amount of watered down lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cucumbers and raw onions. Just terrible. Do not waste your money here. read more

I lost count of how many times I have been here but every single time this place exceeds my expectations! Literally best kabobs I have ever had. So fresh. So delicious. So tender. Full of flavor and authenticity, you can even just eat the rice by itself and it'll be so yummy! I promise you won't be disappointed! Try it now! read more

Falafel Tazah - Falafel Near Me - San Carlos, California

I have been coming here for years and used to recommend this place to everyone but I am never coming here again after today. I came to pick up my food and the bald tall guy working at the register was extremely rude and nasty for no reason. I asked for an extra sauce and he just grunted at me and said "no. I gave you one already." I spent almost $30 on a gyro wrap and also TIPPED several dollars for a to go order and they cant even throw in an extra saucce? Normally the people working there are very kind and happily give me an extra sauce when i ask. He literally snarled at me that he would give me an extra sauce but said that he would charge me. I was nothing but polite to this guy. I dont know why he was instantly to awful to me but he should probably not work with customers. I am updating my review from 5 stars to 1 I have honestly never been treated in such a nasty manner by someone working at a business. Very bizarre behavior. read more

Tazah means fresh, and they deliver exactly that! The fresh chicken kabob was perfectly seasoned: juicy, tender, and flavorful. It practically melted in my mouth! The portion size was generous, and you can tell everything is made to order, it took about 15 minutes to prep, which is a sure sign of freshness. The rice was perfectly cooked, fluffy, and had that delicious yellow Middle Eastern style that ties the whole meal together. If you're craving flavorful Mediterranean food that doesn't cut corners on quality, this is the spot. Highly recommend! read more

I read the reviews hoping this would be bomb. Wrong! I ordered the falafel wrap. It was dry and not crispy and super floury. We also got the garlic chicken Swarmia and the chicken was super dry. $40 for three mediocre wraps was not worth it. read more

Anytime we wanted Mediterranean food , this is our go-to restaurant. We ordered two beef kabobs dinners yesterday. When I went to pick up our food , I asked for 4 little containers of garlic spreads ( food was good but garlic sauce made food tasted better) . A young man who was working at the restaurant stated " one garlic spreads per one order. I was a little disappointed because one dinner costed $24.95 and they didn't give extra garlic spreads?? read more

Love Falafel Tazah! The veggie wrap is so delicious - always fresh! The wrap with the french fries is so super yummy!

I was really disappointed by the falafel wrap, the falafel portion was quite small and, unfortunately, lacked flavor. I was especially surprised because I love Falafel Tazah in Redwood Shores and Foster City and expected the same quality here. Sadly, this experience didn't live up to that, and I don't see myself returning to the San Carlos location. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Walked in with very limited seating indoors but very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is our first time here and ordered the lamb/beef shawarma rice plate and chicken shawarma rice plate and both were really good. They had tons of the flavor was rice was super good. The salad was delicious and hummus tasted super good as well. I wish there were more roasted veggies instead of the raw onions and pickles. The staff was nice and took out ordered quickly and served the food quickly. read more

I stopped by Falafel Tazah after shopping at TJMaxx and I was so impressed! I cannot eat gluten or dairy, and when I ordered, I was going to order the Chicken Shawarma rice plate without yogurt sauce, and right after I asked for no sauce, the cashier (I think his name is Mohammed based on the name on my receipt) asked if I am allergic to dairy. He let me know that the marinade for the shawarma is yogurt, but that I could order kebab instead (the kebabs aren't marinaded in yogurt)! He also let me know that they have a tahini sauce and a hot sauce if I'd like to add those to my meal instead. I'm so glad he caught that and thought to ask! I also ordered a side of fries, and when I paid he let me know how long the wait would be. Both people I saw working were super friendly and welcoming. As he handed me my bag, he reiterated "all of the sauces I put in the bag are dairy free". There is plenty of parking since they share a parking lot with TJMaxx, Starbucks, Best Buy, Chipotle, Jamba Juice, etc. The inside of the restaurant is very clean with just a few small tables, so I'd recommend taking your food to go. You can see them make the food right in front of you as well, which I always like! The food was very delicious and fresh! Although I usually prefer thinner fries, they were well seasoned and very flavorful. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor, and went so well with the rice, cucumber salad, and hummus. They also give you pickles and onions, which really added to the dish. Overall, I had a great experience here and will definitely be back! read more

Stopped by for a quick weeknight dinner, and instead of the usual rice plate I would pick up from their Foster City location, my husband and I opted for Lamb/Beef Shawarma Wraps with a side of 6 Falafels to share. Everything was a 5/5 and was the perfect amount of food! The wrap was full of different flavors but all of them blended deliciously. As much as I enjoyed my wrap, I think the falafels were my favorite. Perfectly golden, moist, crunchy and flavorful. They were good on their own and with the sauce - probably my favorite falafels I've ever had (so far). Prices are reasonable and service was friendly and fast - I want to say that we waited for our food for about 5 minutes or less. I will definitely be back next time I need a falafel fix! read more

Falafel Tazah - Falafel Near Me - San Carlos, California

Falafel Tazah is a casual Middle Eastern grill offering a menu of casual fare packed in takeout boxes. The Vegetarian Combo was a nice sampler of their mezzes including creamy hummus, smokey baba ghanoush, two dolmas, two green falafels, tabbouleh, cucumber/tomato salad, sumac onions, and pickled red cabbage and cucumbers, all served with grilled Jerusalem bakery pita bread. While the dips were decent, the other components could have been better, as the falafels were soft and greasy, and the salads/pickles were overly acidic and sour. On the side came a few sauces including spicy red chili, tahini, and a spicy aioli, all of which were flavorful and enhanced the other components. Overall, while this wasn't the best Middle Eastern food I've had, the prices were fair and the service was friendly! read more

Food - a surprising, quality/ value! I was literally the last customer who walked in and ordered at 10 minutes before eight. The food was piping, hot, really beautiful, very tasty. Definitely recommend! Service - the people on the line were definitely keen to get out of there. Although I had indicated that I was going to eat my food on site when I ordered, nobody said I was required to get it to go, but the package it to go and insisted on giving me a bag. twice as I sat trying to quickly eat my meal a team member came by and said not to hurry you, but we're closing now and we're gonna lock the door. This was at 8:04 as I sat trying to hastily gulp, my hot food, which unfortunately did detract from the otherwise nice food part of the experience. ultimately, I made sure to get out the door at seven past since the workers were pretty firm about that but in most restaurants if you could finish your meal in 15 minutes or so after ordering it while they cleaned up, it wouldn't be a big deal. Alternatively, and this might actually be a reasonable suggestion to consider? maybe management should simply advise people who walk into order to say that all orders are to go, in the last 15 minutes of the business day. I think that would help people understand that they're not welcome to stay on the premises after 8 PM sharp. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All in all I highly recommend the food. on a nice day you can sit outdoors as well as in a couple tables indoors. Just make sure not to be the last person ordering![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've been by here so many times now, and finally tried the place... then wished that I had just tried it sooner because the food is so good. On one occasion, I ordered the mixed grill plate, which batted 100. On another occasion, I got a kabob bowl. Love adding pickles and shatta hot sauce, which they also sell in jars. Shout out to the tall buff guy that works there... super nice, helpful, and also very handsome. If eating here more means looking good like him then I'll be here every day lol. read more

Falafel Tazah - Lamb and Beef Shawarma Rice Plate - Falafel Near Me - San Carlos, California

My first bite at the Redwood Shores location? Shawarma so good it made my taste buds dance! Seriously, I hadn't tasted anything that divine in ages. This place isn't just good--it's the best. I've dined at countless Mediterranean spots across the Bay and beyond, but this family-owned gem stands out. The food? Stellar. Portions? Generous. Shawarmas? Mouthwatering. Falafels? So authentic, they practically bounce! This has been my go-to for a while now, and it's the only Middle Eastern spot I wholeheartedly recommend. With so many good options in the Bay, that's saying something. Bottom line: Check out my favorite spot and see for yourself. I'm confident you'll agree--it's the best! read more

Fast service, great price....easily could've fed my family of 4 based on the portion of their shawarma plate.

This is my favorite place to get Mediterranean take out. My favorites are the deluxe falafel wrap and the chicken kabob plate. The portions here are so generous, but what I really like is how fresh all the food is. I especially enjoy the chicken kabobs, which are juicy, yet flavorful at the same time, and are grilled to perfection every time. I also like how different side sauces are included with the meal, as they add tons of flavor, and a nice touch to the meal. read more

Friends have been getting this spot to go so we decided to stop by on a nice Sunday for lunch, they have a couple tables outside to eat onsite and two more inside. We ordered: - Chicken Kabob Wrap: fairly small wrap, great flavors. Wish they cut in half for you. 4/5 - Chicken Shawarma Salad: chopped romaine with some diced cucumbers and tomatoes, good amount of sauce. 4/5 - Half dozen falafels: some of the best falafels ever, moist, similar to Mazra's: 5/5 Overall would come back and try other kebabs, maybe a la carte. Smaller portions here and somewhat on the pricier side for the qty, but nice clean place and friendly people. read more

Stopped by here for lunch with the hubs and ordered half a dozen falafel, a lamb/beef shawarma wrap, and lamb/beef shawarma rice plate. Must say, I enjoyed the falafel - they were moist, crunchy, warm, and flavorful. I'd definitely order those from here again. Hubs ordered the rice plate - it came with a decent portion of rice, meat, hummus, veggies, and a pita. Hubs enjoyed it with the spicy sauce and ate the whole thing up. I went with the wrap - it was good, just wished there were more pickles. read more

Salads looked amazing. Few coworkers commented on our salads wishing they had opted for a salad instead of their plates. Kabob Salad (Chicken) - Little on the sour side - I did not taste before adding lemon though so maybe it's perfect without lemon. At the end, i had a decent amount of lemon juice on the bottom. Chicken was amazing though! Light, tender, and flavorful. Pickled radish added another flavor with a crunchy texture. read more

Falafel Tazah - Kabob Salad - Falafel Near Me - San Carlos, California

Not sure why this place is reviewed so highly, but I don't think it's because of the falafel wrap. The pita bread was super thin and dry, and the falafel was barely fried and not very flavorful. The veggies were good, but not much variety. I asked for spicy, and spicy it was! So that was good. Anyway, I've had much better falafel wraps. read more

Super kind service and a decent price. But compared to other places I have tried, it's not as good. Though If I am in the neighborhood I would consider stopping by. The wrap is fairly sizable and comes with a sauce. I think Mezze and Mooore in SF is better (theirs also comes with slaw) but obviously it's not even close to this location.

Had low expectations of a strip mall joint but was pleasantly surprised by the food. Flavorful sumac rice, freshly chargrilled chicken and shrimp and hummus. $18 for a hefty portion .
