This was definitely huge sticker shock for me because I'm usd to getting mine from Safeway or Costco where they are less than half the price, but at least we were supporting a local business. They had a good selection of other meats including different seasoned bacons, marinated chickens, sausage, among other stuff. Again, pretty pricey, but it's an old school deli in Los Altos, so not too surprised by most of the pricing. Enjoyed the corned beef and bacon we got!

It usually takes me two and a half hours but hey I get to see my friends and drop in on Dittmer's. I usually buy the smoked ham hocks because I am addicted to a Cuban black bean soup. I have tried smoked ham hocks from other sources, but the results were so bad that I threw out the soup. The only place I have found that has true smoked ham hocks is Dittmer's. I noticed the price of ham hocks has gone up. But many of the other prices have held steady. The store remains neatly organized and is spic and span. It's kind of what you would expect from a German shop. Carlo's black bean soup from All around the world cookbook by Sheila Lukins. Totally worth a 2.5 hour drive. 2 pounds of black beans Quarter cup olive oil 3 cups, diced onions Eight cloves of garlic, bruised and peeled. One smoked ham hock 6 quarts water 2 tablespoons +1 teaspoons ground cumin 1 tablespoon dried oregano Three bay leaves. 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper Pinch of cayenne 6 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley 6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves. 1 teaspoon salt Two medium red bell peppers, diced reserve a quarter of a cup for the garnish Quarter cup dry sherry 1 tablespoon pack of brown sugar 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. One cup of crème fraîche or sour cream. Soak the beans overnight, drain and rinse. Heat the oil over low heat and sweat the onions and garlic, about 10 minutes. Add the beans with the ham and the water to a large pot. Stir in the 2 tablespoons cumin, the oregano, bay leaves, black pepper, cayenne, and 2 tablespoons each of the parsley in cilantro. Bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered until the beans are very tender and the liquid is reduced by about 3/4. This will take about one and a half to two hours. Transfer the bone to a plate and let it cool slightly. shred the meat and return it to the pot. Stir in the remaining 4 tablespoons parsley, 2 tablespoons cilantro, salt, and all except 1/4 of a cup of the bell peppers, the remaining 1 tablespoon cumin, the sherry, brown sugar and, lime juice. Simmer another 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Adjust the seasoning and serve hot. Garnish with a dollop of crème fraîche and a sprinkling of the diced peppers and chopped cilantro. Eight large servings or 12 small portions.

We only picked out a stable: American wagyu. The meat looked pretty good with marble through out. Surprisingly when put in hot pot it shrinks into a wrinkly ball and also turned black. I have never seen a meat like that (also we only buy hot pot meat at Nijya and their quality is great). Taste wise the meat was quite tough and stringy and has a gamy metallic after taste. In the pictures the kighter hotpot meat is from costco and the black ones is from Meat House. Costco one tasted much better. At this point im not even upset about the money spent just upset that our hot pot night was kind of ruined. Service is ok. Kind of straight forward. You picked the meat and pay and leave. Ambiance: nice clean shop so 2 stars for that

I came here last Friday during the afternoon to try their kabob. Coming in, it felt like a…read moremodernized middle eastern bbq shop. It's like a cross between a western style bbq joint and a middle eastern twist with its meats and food. Turns out, this place is mainly an Afghan restaurant! It's half eatery half a butcher shop for people to come and purchase fresh meats for some home cooking. In fact, I watched a lot of people coming in and ordering meats to go. I ordered their chili lamb kabob which was tender and juicy. It had lots of flavor from the spices but enough to where it wasn't overwhelming. I ordered it on top of a pillow of rice which was fluffy and buttery textured. It was delicious. There are sauce bottles to pair with the meats which is my favorite part. I really liked their white creamy yogurt sauce mixed with their red house chili sauce. It gave my lamb meat so much flavor and some heat. I loved my order and will definitely order two next time. I also want to try their steaks. They take their time grilling their meats so orders can take a short while. It's worth it for sure. No complaints here but I do wish they played some light music in the background for some ambiance. Things can be real quiet in here so it can be awkward dining in. Other than that, I really like this place and will be back for more.

As noted before, this has the best kabobs & hamburgers; both are a cut above anyplace else. I…read morethink the meat is ground on site. I mentioned before the rice has a scent and flavor beyond jasmine or basmati. The French fries are crisp & fresh. The flat bread is tender. The menu has expanded and is more flexible. A new gem is the lentil soup; creamy & exotically spiced without being too much so. It is not the least expensive place, but you get more than you pay for. Tayyibaat remains our go-to splurge.

They have a great selection of meats and some excellent sandwiches. My favorite is the tri-tip - absolutely out of this world. One recommendation: ask for light sauce so you can really enjoy the flavor of the meat they prepare so carefully. The entire team is awesome. The guys cooking the meat and everyone behind the counter are friendly, welcoming, and genuinely enjoy what they do. The atmosphere reminds me of In-N-Out Burger - great customer service, but with a local, hometown feel. They really make an effort to keep every customer happy, and that goes a long way. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for quality meats, delicious sandwiches, and outstanding service. I'll definitely keep coming back!

I've been here a few times and noticed a couple changes to the menu, which now offers a variety of a-la-carte options and AYCE (all you can eat)! There are also combos and happy hour items, so I'm sure there is something for everyone :). Servers are very nice and knowledgable of the menu. They are helpful and made our dining experience great!

The restaurant has been under new ownership for about a month. I was greeted right away and quickly seated. I wanted to order the chicken and beef tenderloin combo, but I was told it wasn't available--even though both items were available individually. That was a little confusing. I ended up ordering the beef tenderloin. It was cooked well done, although no one asked how I wanted it prepared. I would have preferred medium. To start, I ordered the baba ghanoush, which was delicious. They also brought out a huge basket of fresh, homemade bread served with balsamic vinegar and olive oil--definitely one of the highlights of the meal. For my entrée, I skipped the rice and requested double vegetables. Instead, I received double salad. While everything tasted great, for a $36 entrée I was hoping for extra grilled vegetables like cauliflower rather than more salad. Overall, the food was very good, and I'd come back. The restaurant has plenty of seating both inside and on the back patio, TVs throughout, a full bar, and a nice selection of craft beers on tap. It has a welcoming atmosphere and is worth checking out. The staff was friendly, the manager (a lady) was very nice and gave me a small sample of a tomato pico looking item and told me to try it.

Def make a reservation as we came for lunch and there was a one hour walk-in wait. For five people we ordered - brisket - tender, well marbled and a perfect meat to start the meal with - beef tongue - another great cut, thinly slice, tasty - pork jowl - thicker cut, but cooked to perfection as it was very easy to bite through - marinated prime bone in short rib - the one item I had an issue with. Apparently the most popular item, and also the most expensive thing we ordered, at $85 for the serving size. This meat was waaay to sweet. Like take bulgogi sweet and then drizzle honey on it. It was cooked well and the meat we beautiful but the marinade was just to much and none of the banchan balanced out the sweetness - spicy cold noodles - a favorite of the table. Super thing noodles, not too spicy, very refreshing for a hot day - seafood pancake - thick, generously loaded seafood pancake There was a large variety of banchan and all of it was good. They will also refill it if you finish any specific ones. I liked their radish wraps a lot, and also the cauliflower.
