    Mediterranean Bowl with gyro meat
    Julie S.

    A friend who lives in Mountain View suggested Hummus Mediterranean Kitchen for a group lunch. I don't know if this place would be great for a huge group, but they were able to accommodate our group of six people in the outside seating. Their outside seating is on Castro Street and was very comfortable, though we weren't under one of the sun umbrellas, so it did get very sunny. It was convenient to have counter ordering so each person could pay separately. I had the Mediterranean bowl, which had rice, crispy chickpeas, a kind of vegetable salad, some cabbage, some rice, hummus, and some cheese. I also had them add the lamb/beef gyro for protein. It was really good and very filling! I ended up taking half of it home since there was so much food. The menu had a lot of standard fare, but they also had additional Turkish food that looked interesting. I think if I went back with a group, I might try the hummus sampler or other sharing things.

    This was the perfect place for a large group. You order at the counter and they bring you the food. They were great about us having one number for the table. There were six of us and the first order came long before the next four. Then there was a long pause before the sixth order came out. The food was delicious and plentiful. Togo boxes are available at the counter. A code is needed for the bathroom which was clean.

    Breakfast plate off breakfast menu!

    Got the breakfast plate (for 2) on sunny Sunday morning. It came with plenty of a tasty spreads and a ton of pita and a pot of tea. We had a lot of leftovers. The savory things like sausage and olives were portioned for two people but there was more than enough of the sweet jams and pita. It was a fun tasty experience and would try other items!

    Other places were full and with long wait. So decided to try this. Noticed it wasn't crowded - which did worry me. But decided to give it a try. Avoid the place. Quality is okay, not bad. Quantity, for the price, is not that great. Fries were not crispy at all. Falafel plate came with half a pita. Chicken gyro ? We have had better at other place. Saving grace was Baklava. Taste was really good. Other annoying thing is - the door doesn't close automatically. And heater was hardly on. So on this cold day - I was getting up and closing the door multiple times as people entered or left without closing it. They have written a note in 3 languages asking people to close it. Why don't you just put a better door closing mechanism. Wont be coming again here - multiple other options available on Castro street.

    Popped in and grabbed food to go. Plenty of seating inside. Mediterranean bowl $16.50: fried chickpeas and hummus were the highlight. The rest of the fillers were ok. I feel like Oren's gives more bang for your buck. Falafel $4: dry and not the usual taste or texture I am used to. I would skip this. I will say their service(at least for food to go) is faster than Oren's.

    Best lahmacun and the most authentic Turkish food in the Bay Area. Every time I go to Hummus Mediterranean, I feel at home almost like I'm back in Turkey. The staff is always warm and welcoming. Their weekend Turkish breakfast is a real feast with all the flavors I miss from back home. The patio in the garden is my favorite spot in Castro spacious, airy, beautifully designed and decorated with lovely olive trees. This is my go-to place for delicious Turkish food.

    Food Quality: **** Service: **** Ambiance: *** Value: **** This is a great place. I am an avid fan of Mediterranean / Middle Eastern food and I was pretty pleased with the meal. Even though it was take out, the quality stayed fresh. It was flavorful and hit the spot. My only critique was that it was a bit salty for my taste otherwise it was a very enjoyable meal. Service was pretty quick and would recommend going there.

    Hummus is tucked away on Castro Street where a plethora of restaurants are situated. I usually feel you can't go wrong with Mediterranean food and they prove that right. Their menu has a variety of plates, salads, wraps and flatbreads-something for everyone. I appreciate the bright, simple interior space and their staff's upbeat demeanor. I tried the Fattoush salad and added falafel. They were able to accommodate dressing on the side and the warm pita that came with it was a nice touch. It's order at the counter and seat yourself while they bring it out. It's good, but nothing extraordinary. I rank it as a reliable lunch choice. In a town full of places to eat; it doesn't stand out but is a safe and fresh choice:

    The appetizer sampler - must get
    Jasmine C.

    This new spot on Castro hits the mark. From the simplicity of the restaurant to enjoy outdoor seating with covers to make you feel like you're on vacation to the food. You order at the counter and they bring the food out. Naturally, I was drawn to the appetizer sampler to try little bit of everything and glad I did! For around $18, it was so filling that I split my meal into two. The hummus is creamy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious but the best part - the falafel that is simply relaxing on the top - crunchy, moist, balanced, and scrumptious. I thoroughly enjoyed the babaganoush, the other eggplant dish, and tzatziki. Everything was so fresh! We also really enjoyed the pita bread that came along with it. I'm hoping the other food on the menu will be just as good and that they'll keep the quality of the food consistent.

    I came here for a work lunch. Generally I avoid Castro Street because it can be crowded and parking can be difficult to find during peak hours. Hummus has both indoors and outdoor seating. We opted to sit outside since it was a nice day. We were a pretty sizable party of 10. It seems they were a bit shortstaffed that day, but they graciously moved three tables together so that we could all be at one table. They took our order at the table, which I'm not sure is standard since they seem to be an order at the counter place. So I thought it was nice that they were accomodating us! I ordered the falafel wrap combo with fries and a lemonade. The wrap was pretty sizable! The falafel were very nicely made, fries were good as well. I wound up eating half of the falafel wrap and fries and took the rest home. The tzatziki was very flavorful and accompanied the fries nicely. I would definitely return!

    Heather L.

    Food is yummy, but ridiculously priced for what it is. Order at the cashier and they bring it to you. My Mediterranean bowl + grilled chicken was $26. They didnt even add that much chicken. Service was normal speed. Lots of seating inside and outside.

    We were definitely sleeping on this one , a Turkish hidden gem ! We started w the classic hummus - do not get this here . It's terrible . Small portion that feels like came out of a can . 2/5 From here onwards things got much better ! The Lahmajun was excellent - one of the best I've ever had and I had quite a few . Large , rich , super tasty ! This one is 4.4/5 The cheese pide was also excellent - fantastic dough and yummy cheese ! 4.1/5 They also have water bottles ready for you to take to your table - great idea ! We would be back to try other pide flavours and other items !!!

    TLDR: Excellent Fried Chicken!…read more I was just chatting with my friend about picking up Chik-Fil-A for dinner one night, and he suggested Chicken G. There's one in Fremont, but also on in Mountain View, which isn't too far from me. So on a different night, I decided to give this place a try. Short answer: it's REALLY good! Long answer: It's a very very small place. It's got that 80's vibe to it... it's like Falafel Drive-In but with chicken! The staff was nice... although it seemed like there was only 1 front-of-the-house ( I couldn't see in the back). And he was doing EVERYTHING... preparing the food, packaging it up, taking orders.... And it wasn't like the place was super busy at 7:30p on a Thursday. In fact, no one was in front of me, but I still had to wait 5 minutes or so for him to take my order. But finally the order was fired up, and he immediately told me it will take about 15 minutes, because everything is made fresh. Nice! I kinda lost track doom-scrolling, so I peeked my head up every once in a while. I guess he thought I was being impatient, but he assured me, 5 more minutes... Eventually, he called me over, and I took the thing home. Keep in mind, with traffic... it took about 30 min to get home. So the food was getting a little cool. But it was still VERY crunchy, and tasty. My wife immediately took a bite and said it was SO GOOD. She had the 2 tenders and a side (french fries), while I had the chicken burger. The burger was HUUUUGE. I yielded and got a knife to cut the thing in half so I could eat it properly. Even though it was 30 min... the chicken was still super crispy and had a nice satisfying crunch. It blew CFA out of the water, tbh. Tho I still love CFA! Anyway, this place is really really good. It does 1 thing and does it super well. I'd like to try it again, but eat it there fresh and see if that makes a difference. As it stands, I'm struggling to think of a place better than this.

[[ Parking ]] I personally think parking is pretty difficult in general in the downtown Palo Alto Area. It's near an indoor parking area (first 2 floors are non-permit parking), outside parking lot, and lots of street parking. However, when we went almost everything was full. I luckily one open street parking spot and luckily my car is super compact and I was able to squeeze in. I probably would be more stressed if I were driving a large SUV or large sedan. [[ Restaurant / Service ]] I thought the restaurant was pretty beautiful inside and in a good location (corner side). They have plenty of seats that look outside and also a ton of indoor seating in case you want more privacy. - One con was that we were seating in a I guess a "bad booth"? It was in the corner and the padding seemed to have sunken in so I had pretty bad support the whole meal. I got use to at the end but next time I'll just choose a chair. Service was really good. Our server checked in frequently, filled our waters, and was relatively attentive. No complaints here. [[ Food ]] I thought the presentation was beautiful for each dish and there was some standout things: 1.) The complimentary bread had delicious butter and mint/cilantro sauce(?) Not 100% sure but it tasted really good. Unlimited bread too as we gobbled up the first round pretty quickly. 2.) If you get a steak (which I hope you do), I love the little flamethrower presentation when they melt the butter on top of your steak. I thought that was a nice "wow" touch for the dining experience. 3.) I really enjoyed the crab cakes and thought the balance of taste and cook was on the spot and gave a really strong start to the rest of the meal. The okay things: 1.) Surprisingly the steaks were just okay in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, they taste good but I wasn't blown away by either the filet mignon or the dry-aged rib eye. It's solid steaks but nothing too memorable. 2.) The sides in my opinion were a let down. The Mac & Cheese was SOO watery. I took a picture of how much liquid was after getting through the top layer. I wish it was more melted/gooey-ness cheese rather than the watery consistency. The truffle fries were alright but my wife wish it had more truffle taste. [[ Conclusion ]] Great business place to get food as well as a nice dine-out experience. It's a solid place.

As much as Mazra is great at/known for their meats, they also put so much thought and care into their vegetables. For example, our favorite mezza is their Whole Cauliflower, which is a massive cauliflower head that's roasted and then coated with a lemon tahini dressing. (They also give you more lemon to squeeze on it.) The cauliflower always comes out perfectly roasted; the inner parts are tender and toothsome, while the outer parts are crispy and a deep, golden brown. Another great vegetable option is their Veggie Plate, which is a plate overflowing with delights on a bed of their rice: falafel; a segment of their cauliflower; roasted broccoli and potatoes; their saffron mushrooms; and a halloumi roll. Each item is about as perfect as can be, and the sheer quantity makes it a fantastic deal. Of course, we still love their shawarma plates, which you can get with either chicken or steak shawarma. The meat comes thinly cut and tender, and somehow still a bit juicy! The plates are also a great value, since they come with a ton of great items that pair well with the meat. These include a rich, savory sauce (toum [garlic sauce] with the chicken, tahini with the steak) and two of their amazing sides. My favorite sides are the baba ghannoush (creamy and earthy) and their fries (golden, crispy, and pillowy). They continue improving the space, too. The pickup window makes it so much easier to get takeout, and they've really dialed in the flow of the inside and back courtyard seating areas.

    Meyhouse Sunnyvale -- Excellent Food, but the Service Pacing Could Be Much Better…read more I tried the $44.95 three-course prix fixe lunch and chose the Köpoğlu as my meze, upgraded the main to the Adana Kebab for $3, and added the Künefe for $2. The food was the strongest part of the experience, and several things stood out more than I expected. The complimentary bread was excellent--warm, fragrant, and nicely textured. I also really enjoyed the green herb sauce served with it. The parsley and mint flavors were quite pronounced, almost grassy, but in a good way. It was fresh and aromatic and worked very well with the bread. The Köpoğlu was one of the highlights of the meal. The roasted eggplant, tomato sauce, garlic yogurt, and olive oil were very well balanced. I especially liked the garlic yogurt--the acidity, garlic, and creaminess were all present without any one element overpowering the others. The tomato added sweetness and acidity, while the olive oil rounded everything out. It was especially good with the bread. The Adana Kebab was also very good. My first bite came from the end of the skewer and was slightly dry, but once I got into the center, the meat was noticeably juicier. The char from the grill was excellent, and the lamb had a clear lamb flavor without being gamey. The chopped red pepper mixed into the meat also added another layer of aroma and flavor. Even the rice surprised me. It looked like plain white rice, but it was flavorful enough to eat on its own, with a noticeable buttery, almost milky aroma. The flatbread underneath the kebab was also very good after soaking up some of the lamb juices and fat. If I had one criticism of the main plate itself, it would be the proportion of onion-tomato salad to meat. The salad tasted fine, but for my preference, there was a little too much of it. I really enjoy the lingering flavor of grilled lamb, and while the rice and bread help carry that flavor, the raw onion and tomato act as a strong palate cleanser and erase it quickly. Since the meat portion was relatively small compared with the rice and salad, I would personally prefer a little more kebab and a little less salad. The Künefe was another highlight. I really enjoyed the contrast between the crispy kadayıf on the outside and the soft, warm cheese inside. The pistachios on top were not something I particularly enjoyed by themselves, but mixed together with the cheese, syrup, and crispy pastry, they made much more sense. The first few bites, especially the areas that had not absorbed too much syrup, were excellent. Toward the center it became a little sweeter than I prefer, but overall I still liked it very much. Food-wise, I would actually give Meyhouse a slight edge over Dishdash. There were more layers and more small details to notice throughout the meal, from the bread and herb sauce to the Köpoğlu, Adana, rice, flatbread, and dessert. The service, however, did not match the level of the food. The restaurant was quite quiet at lunch, but the pacing was surprisingly rushed. I had barely started eating the Köpoğlu when the main course arrived. For a menu specifically presented as a three-course prix fixe, I expected the courses to be paced more deliberately. Instead, I had to choose between continuing to enjoy the appetizer and eating the kebab while it was still hot. There was also an issue with clearing the table. One staff member who was not the person taking my order repeatedly tried to remove my bread and the green herb sauce. The first time, I specifically asked him to leave the sauce. Later, after I finished the main course, he came back and again started clearing both without asking. I told him I wanted the bread to go, so he left the bread, but still removed the herb sauce. It was a small detail, but it made the service feel mechanical rather than attentive to what the guest had already requested. Overall, I would rate the food around 8.5/10 and the service around 6.5-7/10. Meyhouse is a little more expensive than Dishdash, but the prix fixe lunch is also very substantial. I only ate about half of the complimentary bread, and I was already quite full after the main course. Finishing the Künefe left me completely stuffed, so the portion size is definitely generous. I would still come back. Next time, I would probably try the Ahtapot, especially since it is only a $9 upgrade on the prix fixe compared with $25 à la carte. The food gives me a reason to return; I just hope the pacing and attention to small service details are better next time.
