    The Two Meat Combination Platter
    Pearl G.

    By far my Favorite ... Amazing services!.. Very Friendly... the food is seasoned just righ

    Chicken Garlic Wrap

    We drove from Half Moon Bay to eat here, by far the best Mediterranean food we have eaten. The flavors are authentic, the service is amazing and the staff is very friendly. Outdoor seating and dog friendly. Great ambience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU WANT THE OG FLAVORS!!

    Chicken Wrap.

    Delicious food and good portions for decent prices. We received our food quickly as well. Small establishment with plenty of parking. Would definitely recommend if you're in the mood for Mediterranean cuisine.

    I ordered a kebab combo and this is what I got. To me-these are not kebab and I'm a bit disappointed. However the food tastes okay and great value for the price ($17.99).

    My favorite local gyro spot on Fremont! The steak gyro is amazing every time I've come here and give you a great portion of meet. The chef is a great guy and makes good conversation.

    If you grew up in Fremont or are familiar with the area, then you definitely know Gaters. They are the definition of a hole in the wall with amazing staff and food. I love to go here when I don't have much time/energy to cook at home but I want something filling and nutritious. This regular sized plate is only 14.99 which is insane to me. Most kebab places/mediterranean spots are starting at $25+ these days so this is 10/10 in my books always. The staff is always very friendly, they're open late, and just about everything on the menu is delicious. One of my go to spots since I was in high school!

    fries are gone sorry can't show that picture

    Ok I read reviews I saw some bad ones and good ones had to try it myself and give my own personal review. mediterranean food is a plus tired of eating Chinese food and McDonald's. Ann was the person that took the order and I forgot the chef's name but talking friendly great vibe. So for the location it's a small little spot has a few tables and chairs. It will be nice when they remodeled the place and make it look upto date cause the food was pretty good. so we ordered the lamb Gyro french fries kefta kebab plate don't forget to ask for the white sauce and the hot sauce on the side which my wife likes. My Son was going crazy with the lamb Gyro we split it of course it was all gone french fries all gone of course they have ketchup. Not bad my wife's kefta kabob meats was fresh and seasoned properly. Yes I ate her food too. All gone salad was good. Came with with a circle bread you could say it might be pita if correct me if that was wrong and hummus and of course my wife ordered two baklava you have to get that of course that was good. I'll be back to try something else I have a big taste buds I'm a plumber and I go to alot of restaurants I'm writing this 6 hours after eating there and I'm still full with no stomach issues. 5 stars for me because the food was perfect for me and my family.

    First impressions....cozy place outside. with a warm feel inside as we were greeted. When my wife…read moreand I walked in, they were filming. We were greeted with an enthusiastic welcome. When seated after ordering, we were served with the signature Afghan bread with delicious spicy dipping sauce. The owner I presume also introduced us to two lovely dishes. One with potato in a flat bread and the other was a butter nut squash. They were both served with a creamy yogurt. My wife and I ordered the trio Kabob and the eggplant dish. Highly recommended. The meats are so tender! Out of all the Persian places I have experienced the chicken at this establishment is the best! The beef even more! The dessert was heaven... If you want a true Afghan foodie experience, this is the place to go to in the Bay Area! Can't wait to try the other dishes!

    A lovely family-owned, cozy Afghan restaurant with traditional eats like bolani, chapli, lamb…read morekebab, etc. Upon arriving, my friend and I were warmly greeted by the host and directed to order and pay later. We got the potato bolani and platter of the chicken kebab and chapli kebab to share. The potato bolani was my favorite, but the chapli kebab didn't have much flavor. The chicken was decent and paired well with the rice. My favorite items were definitely the bolani and chutney. At the end of our meal, they offered us a complimentary dessert of rose-flavored pudding with crushed pistachios. Overall, a 3.5 for food. I would definitely come back for the bolani. Please note parking can be quite difficult since it's in a small plaza so expect to parallel park in the neighborhood.

Perfect char, juicy meat, and great texture on the patty. I also really enjoyed the potato bolani. Crispy bread and creamy potato. Huge portion. What's not to love! Had free chutney at the table. The slow cooked lamb in the pallow was fall-off-the bone. However, not too much meat. Mantu was a skip for me. Meat inside was delicious and sauces and wrapper worked, but not special compared to other dishes, especially since lentils were a little undercooked. Doogh as a drink isn't up my alley, but paired with the heavy meat dishes well.

    TLDR: Went for a friend's birthday lunch on a Sunday afternoon, and they were able to accommodate…read morefor various sized parties. They were a little disorganized, but the decor and vibes were very homey. Their portions are fairly large, and overall the food was pretty decent, although not all of the dishes were my cup of tea I will say. This was my first time having Afghanan cuisine, so take what I say here in my review with a grain of salt. I rounded up because the food was pretty tasty and filling, but wasn't super impressed by the overall experience. So, to me, flavor and quality of the food is more important than the overall experience with the staff and vibes of the space. I would have given a 3.5/5 if I could. Food: 4/5 A friend mentioned that this is his family's go to spot for some of the most authentic Afghan food, so this is what I am basing the rest of this review on. We ordered Triple Kabob Murgh, Teka and Chaplee Kabob, Quabili Pallow, Mantu, Aushak, Sabzi Challow, Kado Borani, and Doogh. The kabob meats were all seasoned differently and were very tender, but everything else had a very similar palate to each other. Everything was fairly tasty, and the lamb wasn't too gamey, which I appreciated. If you try the Doogh yogurt drink, know that it is sour and an acquired taste, my friends said it wasn't good until they ate some food along side it. Staff/Space: 3.5/5 The staff wasn't the most friendly nor did they really come to check on us. The guy just took the order and brought our order and that was the only real interactions we had with the staff. The space in general was super homey and very much set for cozy family vibes. There is a decent amount of space inside and outside to accommodate for various party sizes. There is only street parking, which is not super convenient.

    I have been here three times for dine in (have done takeaways multiple times) but before commenting…read moreanything about the food and its flavor, I would like to say that the service is really very slow (they say that they cook fresh due to which it takes time but sometimes, the customer is too hungry to wait) and honestly I'm not being critical but they really need to work on the service. I revisited after six months only to see that the service hasn't improved a bit.Took almost 50ish mins to get our goat & chicken Mandi. Food however is really nice, have tried their Mandi (chicken & goat both), haleem , chicken 65 (takeaway) & pathar ka gosht and apricot crème as well as tea. If you're someone who enjoys Indian flavors, you will enjoy eating here. Ambiance is nice. Cutlery is clean

    Ordered a family pack chicken dum biryani, family pack haleem, and a small goat biryani…read more The Chicken Biryani was a major disappointment of all. It was sweet, flavorless, dry and lacking spice - four out of four people didn't like it. I definitely won't be trying it again. The Mutton Biryani, was flavorful and definitely many times better than chicken biryani. The Haleem was the absolute best item we ordered and a definite hit, making it worth trying again. Be warned about their 'Family Pack'. It's advertised as a family size but serves about two people, not definitely four, which is quite pricey for a 32oz bucket at $40. While the Haleem's quality justified the price as a seasonal item, the 'Family Pack' concept for biryani is poor value. I'd recommend the Haleem and Mutton Biryani, but steer clear of the Chicken Biryani and don't expect the "Family Pack" to feed more than two, 3 at best.
