The rest of the decor and the lights were very modern. We came in for lunch and tried the gyro sandwiches, which were very good and filled with a big portion of tender meat. They also have a wide selection of interesting appetizers; we had the Tarmasalata. The cream cheese spread was very good and veggies were fresh. At first the prices seemed steep, but they seem to give generous portions (though we didn't try the plates). Our server was also quick and efficient. We will definitely be back to try more dishes!

Loved the fresh baked aroma and flavor. Rice had a fresh mild flavor. Carrots were cooked with a tiny amount of pepper. Very mild flavor. Rack of lamb ordered medium was tender and moist.

Very cool place to eat and I loved the rack of lamb.

I was really excited to try this place, but ended up pretty disappointed…read more The portions are small and the food overall just doesn't have much flavor. The Frutti Di Mare was especially underwhelming. The sauce was very thin and watery, which made the whole dish feel kind of flat. I did appreciate that they include a side of bread though. Prices are also on the steep side for what you get, so I'm not sure I'd come back. Service was good though.

It was empty when I walked in, but it looks like they do a good take out business. I ordered the Gyros Sandwich combo which comes with 2 sides and a fountain drink. I upgraded to a Greek Salad for my 2 sides. It comes with a container of Tzatziki sauce on the side. The gyros had good flavor and the pita was soft and moist. Everything was very flavorful and the place was very clean. Definitely will go back.

The Gyro was packed with plenty of delicious beef and lamb, onions and tomatoes. The fries were seasoned and crispy for a thicker cut. Definitely a solid meal. Overall, a good dining experience. A small and clean restaurant. They were friendly and provided ketchup and Tzatziki sauce without even asking for it. Good place for a Mediterranean meal.

We got there around 11:15 and the lunch rush hadn't hit yet. Our order was taken promptly and the cashier (who also brought us our food later) couldn't have been friendlier. It only took about 10 minutes for our food and it was piping hot and fresh. Yours truly had the Pikilia, a sampler of chicken, gyro, rice, hummus, dolma, wings, salad, pita and spanakopita. It was a ton of food and I mowed that bad boy down. I'd go back.

I asked what time they open and she said in 10 minutes. I asked if I could look at the menu while I waited and she said yes. While I'm looking, another person walks in (seemed like a regular--he didn't order, she just told him his total and he paid). Since it was my first time, I tried to make conversation and asked what he usually gets. She redirected me with "what questions do you have on the menu?" I explained it was my first time and I was just curious since he's a regular--I figured his order might be a good place to start. She answered, I said thanks -- and I was gonna order what he ordered but because the interaction felt weird I wanted to further check if maybe I can turn it around .. so then asked what she personally likes. She said it "depends on what you want". Fair, but the tone felt off. I put the menu down, and she continued with "it depends on my mood, etc sometimes I want meat or only vegetables I work here 5 days a week." (also fair), but overall the interaction just wasn't pleasant or welcoming. I was excited to try somewhere new, but ended up saying thank you and walking out. Now I'm here writing this one-star review... and still hangry

After several visits to multiple locations, kebab shop gets five stars from me!!…read more The service is always great and quick. The Carmel ranch location has a lot of seating inside. But the food is the star! You get so much food for what you pay for & can split an entree or use it for two meals. The bowl is so good and I love that it's build your own, with so many topping options. Their spicy hummus is my absolute favorite, the feta cheese is so fresh, and the meat is always tender & flavorful. Loove the chicken! Another favorite part is the sauce station, allowing you to choose between four sauces that are all good, but primarily the cilantro sauce which my partner can never get enough of! Will always come back to kebab shop.

The owners are genuinely friendly and the food has been consistently solid for years. A highlight for me is the rice -- fragrant basmati with saffron and a golden, crispy tahdig-style layer that adds a really satisfying texture alongside the fluffy rice underneath. I've only dined in a couple of times, but it's worth it if you can. The restaurant feels warm and inviting, with lots of table seating and a cozy, traditional feel, made even better by the welcoming service. We started with Zeyton Parvardeh and Mirza Ghasemi, and both were tangy and packed with flavor. My usual entree favorites are Ghormeh Sabzi and Fesenjoon, and both have that comforting, well-made "slow-cooked" feel. The kabob combo with chicken and koobideh is also a reliable order: flavorful, well-seasoned, and a great match with the rice. All presented as sharable. If you're looking for dependable Persian comfort food in the area, Shiraz is absolutely worth a visit (or a takeout run).
