Not all of the dishes were a hit, but we really enjoyed the appetizer sampler platter (baba ghanoush, hummus, labaneh) and chicken shawarma wrap Damascus style (w/ fries, garlic sauce, and pickles on the side).

I'm baaaack with another review! I'll keep this one short since I've been writing stories in my…read moreprevious reviews. Let's get into it. Double Combo Plate - Turmeric Rice - Chicken Shawarma and Gyro Beef - The Works (Everything included) - Tzatziki sauce - Falafel (Side) - Waffle Fries (Side) Okay, the presentation of the combo plate wasn't the most aesthetically pleasing, but I looked past it. Unfortunately, the chicken and beef were lacking in flavor and were pretty dry. The portions were generous, though the gyro beef was sliced pretty thin. The veggies were actually fresh, which was a plus. The hummus was on the lighter side flavor-wise, while the Baha Ghanouj had a solid roasted aftertaste. The Achilles spread was... interesting. It was very fatty with a garlic aftertaste. It just wasn't my thang. The waffle fries were cool. They were fried well and had a good crunch, but nothing special. The falafel, though, was pretty disappointing. I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch. They were very crunchy, but had a weird dish-soap aftertaste that I couldn't get past. I couldn't finish the rest. Sorry, but I'll be on the lookout for another Mediterranean spot.

Meat skewer, salad, rice, hummus and bread. Little bit of everything, Portions are just right for me, not too little and not too much that I have to take togo. I like the salad they have. It's light and citrusy. Love the onions in the salad. I like to support small businesses especially in the restaurant business.

Hella yummy Palestinian food in the Bay!…read more I've heard of Holyland but finally had the chance to dine there for a weekend lunch. These days it's always at the front of my mind that food spots that call themselves "Middle Eastern" or "Mediterranean" truly divulge who is the owner and chefs are. I'm talking about only eating from restaurants that can name the country their food comes from be it Falasteen, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the list goes on. Holyland is located in the industrial part of Santa Clara, and they boast lots of interior seating (great for large parties and group meals) and also run a catering service. So there's loads of parking and plenty of space. My friend and I were hungry, so I got the lamb kofta and he had the beef plates. We were SO happy. It comes with a light tangy salad, delicious hummus with a kick of spice, a bed of delicious yellow rice and slender pita bread. They also have serve-yourself hot cardamom tea which is so delicious and perfect. They also serve a bunch of other refrigerated drinks like Salaam Cola and kefir. The mezze plate with x4 different dips looks so yummy, I would get that next time with a large group to share. Will definitely head back with a larger group. We saw other diners from couples, to solo to large families eating. The interior could use some sprucing up, but the quality of the food, staff, and authenticity of the place is #1. Delicious. Freedom for the Holyland Five and liberation for all of Palestine!

Uyghur Home Now…read more Tarim Garden sits in a nondescript strip mall situated along the Foodie Highway and serves up one of the hardest cuisines to find: Chinese Uyghur (pronounced wee-goo'r). Because of its location in NW China, Uyghur cuisine is a natural fusion of Chinese, multiple "Stans" (e.g., Pakistan, Kazakhstan, etc.), and is predominantly Muslim in population. The food is 100% authentic, as the proprietor, Lei Han, is a third-generation chef from the Ili region. Their food has already captured the attention of Bay Area food critics and was featured by SF Eater and recently included in the local PBS Station's 2026 "What to Eat in the Bay Area"** list for the South Bay. The Good: * All meats are 100% Halal (حلال) * Large shared parking lot * Order via QR code * Friendly service * Very reasonable prices and giant portions. Even we had leftovers! :8) * Pan-fried Lamb and Onion Dumplings were a bit underseasoned for my liking, but the flavor and texture were delicious. * Stir-Fried Noodles was another winner, with delicious noodles and tender chicken. Please note that the menu doesn't reflect that it comes with meat, but it does. We didn't really care either way, but some people might. * The Laghman (a type of hand-pulled noodle) is the thing to get here, as the flavor and texture of them were phenomenal. You could lock me in a room with a bucket of them, and I'd be happy as a clam. The Meh: * No alcohol * You can order through the app but have to pay the old-fashioned way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Ugly: * Despite critical acclaim and being open for several years, it's a bit staggering how low the review count (67?!) is here on Yelp. Conclusion: Delicious food, great service, and fair pricing. What are you waiting for?? **https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101912573/what-to-eat-in-the-bay-area-in-2026

We ordered Lamb Leg Pilaf, Spicy Lamb Stir-Fried Noodles, and pan-fried lamb dumplings. The Lamb Leg Pilaf was quite disappointing because both the lamb and rice tasted bland. We had to ask for some salt to season it. The Spicy Lamb Stir-Fried Noodles were oily and way too spicy. We can handle some spicy food, but this was a little too much for us. The menu also didn't indicate the level of spiciness, which was a little confusing. The pan-fried lamb dumplings were the only dish we really liked. The lamb filling was tender and flavorful. Overall, the food was just okay, and the lamb dumplings were definitely the highlight of the meal.

Meyhouse has been on my bookmarks for a while now and in dt Sunnyvale!…read more My friend and I sat down for an earlyish dinner around five. We looked over our menu and had a hard time pronouncing and figuring out what to eat. Our server was so patient with us and explained the entire menu, also told us that he is Turkish and showed us how to pronounce some of the names and letters After much thought, we ordered the acili muhammara (peppers and walnut dip with pomegranate molasses) , Uc Borek (phyllo rolls with 3 type of fillings), and the adana platter (lamb skewer with sides). The bread basket that came with the pepper and pomegranate molasses dip very good, and it was a great start. The pomegranate gave it a hint of sweetness which balanced the heavier pepper flavor The uc boreks were flaky and crispy, and came out hot af. loved the zucchini and cheese filling! The lamb was full of flavor and came with rice and a Greek salad. That being said, the flatbread had a lot of oil, since the skewer was placed on top. The lamb itself was soft and had no gamey taste. The greek salad complimented and contrasted the heavy and rich tastes. We also ordered the pistachio kunefe and ice cream for dessert. The texture of the kunefe was delicious! I loved the stretchy sweet mozzarella and the crispy crunchy of the toasted phyllo dough. We got a side of mastic ice cream to go with the kunefe. slight licorice and herby taste. It was interesting but still good though Thank you Meyhouse for an awesome intro to Turkish food!

Unique food truck in Bay Area! This isn't just a food joint but it's an experience!…read more Vegetarian reviewer: To start with, I am not usually a big fan of too many eggs on my plate, but I thoroughly enjoyed their innovative creations. They have interesting dishes with paneer and chicken as well. We ordered two dishes- Leela lasun keema - This dish was intriguing, with cheese, grated egg, and a rich, spicy gravy. The portion size was generous; a single person won't be able to finish it with just three breads. It was very filling, we took back home the leftover and enjoyed it later with some rotis. They have another version of this- "kachu" with runny eggs instead of grated eggs.. well thought option! Volcano egg biryani- The dish is as interesting as its name suggests. The base is an omelette, and the rice is flavorful with bell peppers, finely chopped veggies, and aromatic spices. The center is with a tomato-based curry. The cheese on the side was amazing, and I loved it. The spicy guava drink is super refreshing with a playful mix of spice, salt, sourness, and the sweetness of guava. I really enjoyed it! They have music playing and the place is lit, creating a total vibe for spending time in the evening on a lazy weekend/ after work, or post-workout. The food is pure indulgence and covered our protein requirements with eggs, along with some fat to burn off. Kinda guilt free. Also, they have games, garba events and other many interesting things going on at different times. Superb vibes, never disappoints! Conveniently located in Sunnyvale - easy to find parking. Ask the owners for their recommendations based on your preferences. They are very nice to talk to and are super passionate about this truck, having brought something they loved from New York to the Bay Area.

This review is for their wraps…read more First, I ordered this the fist time and got some salads, suggestion from someone else, and we did not like them. But this is not on the place, they are actually really fresh, it's because that other person requested very basic salads and I got me the same. I'm sure other salads are great. Now on to the wrap. I didn't see any reviews or photos on the wrap, let's change that. I got 2 wraps: 1 Blazing Bird and 1 Date Delight (for someone else). He did not like his for some reason, but I cant' say much because I didn't try it. I got the blazing bird and it is honestly one of the best wraps I've had. It is good, crunchy and their sauce that comes with it is yummy too. I first saw it and thought, WOW, this is big, but I ate it all. The only thing I would say is it could use a little more chicken. This is probably why I was able to finish it, it did lack some chicken. I also got the bone broth and that is also very delicious. Overall the wrap is a 4. It would be 5 if it had more chicken. I will still get the wrap and bone broth again.

The ice machine was also not working, so the only water available at first was room temperature. Because it was so hot, I asked if we could have bottled water. The bottles were basic bottled water, and I mentioned that I felt customers should not be charged for water under the circumstances, especially since there was no ice available. After a few minutes, he kindly came back and provided us with cold bottles of water, which we appreciated. I would highly recommend that the owner consider installing air conditioning or fans for the comfort of both customers and employees. I also think making customer comfort and service a priority would make the overall experience much better. The food was good, and with a few improvements to the environment and customer service, this could be an even better experience.
