Oasis Restaurant - Afghan Near Me - Pleasanton, California

See all

Oasis is a great spot in Downtown Pleasanton! There's a few lots in downtown Pleasanton that you can park and walk over to Oasis. It has a great ambiance inside with quick service! I have found Oasis to be a great place to come with my family, and I often bring my friends from out of town here for the happy hour! The last time I went, I came here with a friend for the happy hour (daily from 2-5!!!). Drinks and appetizers were 50% off! For drinks I would HIGHLY recommend the Pineapple Cucumber Mule - they are super refreshing (and pretty strong) and taste great! Especially at $7 for happy hour, you can't go wrong. For food we shared the Pumpkin Bourani and the Leek and Cheese Gozleme - both amazing! The favorite was definitely the Pumpkin Bourani (the sauce on it is so good). I know I'll be coming back here again! Always a great time. read more

Beautiful, casual little garden out back for a nice daytime date. There's just something about how the sun hits uou through the trees and such. Happy hour everyday is a plus, although we weren't over the moon about the drink quality that came out (if anything, even happy hour prices felt overpriced). However, I would say some of the happy hour small plates were not bad. read more

Value - Not good. Dinner prices listed online are less than what is reflected on the menu. Appetizers are high priced for the portion provided. Mixed drinks are in small glasses,  filled with ice but still average $17/ea. Wine is $15/glass. Pasta dish averages $28 if you add a protein (very small pasta portion but generous size jumbo shrimp that were added).  Beef or lamb dishes $34-$42 that come with a choice of 1 side. Taste - Good Service - Server was very nice,  but a bit annoying. We ordered drinks & apps and were asked if we wanted to order entrees.  We indicated that we wanted to start with these first and would let her know.  She came back ften within a short space of time asking if we were ready to order,  even after being advised that we hadn't yet looked at the menu to decide and said we needed some time.  While I appreciate attentive servers,  we felt rushed (there were several available tables,  so there was no one else waiting).  It was kind of like "move it along" while were trying to enjoy the experience together.  We won't be returning. read more

It was not our first time here and we love Oasis. Great food, nice atmosphere, reasonable price. This time we had an appetizer tour, trying some that we didn't try before. We liked everything but my favorite were: - Spicy Beef Cigar Rolls (not very spicy btw and I liked it). - Steak Shawarma Pitas - great meat - Leek Cheese Gozleme - warm and tasty I think I just not fan of Gyros. Also I liked Baklava - not too sweet and not too wet in syrup . Everything was served in time. read more

Fabulous experience! Lovely service, delicious food and love their ambience! Parking was easy too! This was a lunch experience!

I met my girlfriends at Oasis and Mike was our waiter. I couldn't have asked for a better waiter. He was very accommodating, and he did everything with a nice genuine smile. He made sure we were taken care of with our food orders. I brought in two bottles of wine and he made sure the Chardonnay was chilled, and the cab was breathing. We sat outdoors in the patio. A beautiful, setting, a great backdrop for pictures and again I can't speak highly enough of Mike. When I go back, I will ask for Mike as my waiter. Thank you, Mike! We need more waiters like you! read more

We were there for a friend's birthday . The place was busy initially but the team rallied around to make the day special. We had the platter and lamb which was the stand out. The pairing with wine could have been better. read more

Love dip platter.Everything we ordered was good. Went with vegetarian friends, was happy to have vegetarian options.

I reserved an outdoor table at Oasis for a party of 7 for the bridal party gathering on the Thursday prior to the actual wedding for one of my best friends last month. Making the reservation was easy and service was good but the servers seemed confused/didn't communicate well with each other - we had multiple servers come up to us and ask the same things, e.g. are we ready to order drinks/food? Another bottle? Etc. Outdoor table and ambience were really nice. Outdoor dining was like in a courtyard and they had string lights and lots of viney plants. One thing that turned us off was this hornet that kept terrorizing our group maybe 3/4 through our dinner service. Massively annoying and they seemed to be attracted to sweet things?? Not a fault on the restaurant of course, but maybe they can have citronella candles or some other bug deterrent around. If you order a bottle of wine to keep chilled, they bring out a wine chiller to keep by your table which is nice. Food itself was good. Would go back again! read more

Very cute restaurant and patio area. It's also nice that they have a parking lot right in back and they are dog friendly! For appetizers, we got: Pumpkin borani 4.5/5- very delicious and soft and can understand why it's their signature dish Mini gyros 4/5- good flavor on the meat and soft pita Potato bolani 4/5- the potato had nice spices in between the flatbread like a pancake. Love the sauce it comes with For dinner we got: Grilled rack of lamb 2.5/5- the lambs were unfortunately overdone but the only thing saving it was the lamb had good flavor. The mashed potatoes it came with were sadly under seasoned and the asparagus was also under seasoned and under cooked for my liking Royal platter 4/5- this place definitely does kabobs better and were actually cooked medium rare Oasis curry with chicken 4/5- tasted delicious and smooth So besides the rack of lamb, we enjoyed everything else. read more

I've been here many time, the food and services has always been good. Solid place for Mediterranean This time we start with 2 apps.. Spicy Beef Cigars: Good stuff. It's ground beef with onions and other seasonings wrapped in egg roll dough and deep fried. Served with yogurt and sumac. Mini Gyros: Really good, perfect size, gyro meat, taziki, chopped red onion on a mini flat bread. If I had to pick 1 app, I'd pick this one. Koobideh Kabob: Really good, the meat was tender, juicy and perfect seasoned. My side was Grilled Asparagus, was ok. They cook it aldente, not much seasoning. Same with the grilled Roma tomatoe, very light grill marks, no much roasted flavor and still hard. The tomatoes should be soft after properly grilling and no season at all. I also ordered the taziki, very good. Good quality yogurt I would have given 5 stars, but the way they treated the vegetables, without care and no seasoning, I could not give 5. read more

Didn't know I'd find delicious kabob in downtown Pleasanton, what a treat! Date-night atmosphere, and I can't wait for their patio to reopen for the season, it's so pretty. read more

Oasis Restaurant - Platter (totally worth the $) - Afghan Near Me - Pleasanton, California

I'm never really happy here. Great service and location but I just don't find what I want to eat. I don't eat much so was happy with an appetizer for my birthday lunch. A wider selection might be nice. read more

Lovely restaurant. Great service. Delicious cocktails. Good food. Overall everything was great. My husband and I shared the Royal Platter which came with a skewer of chicken, Koobodeh, filet and shrimp. It came with 2 sides (we chose grilled asparagus and seasoned basmati rice) and 2 sauces (we chose creamy cilantro and mint cucumber yogurt). Everything was tasty. I wish there was more veggie. So we ordered the Mediterranean Salad to compliment our royal platter. My daughter ordered the Mediterranean Pasta with Chicken. It was leek filled raviolis with a green sauce. It was pretty good. My son ordered the Sumac Trout. This was probably the best dish on the table. A huge piece of fish on a bed of potatoes. Very good. We all had to take a bite and try it. For dessert we ordered the Oasis Paradise. Nicely plated. Not too sweet. read more

3.5 stars but rounding up for a cute restaurant in downtown Pleasanton. They have indoor and outdoor seating available, but it seemed like most customers opted to dine outside in their large patio area. I was able to make reservations easily the day before for a party of 3 at 12:30pm. I tried: -Tour of Mediterranean (Spicy Spinach & Goat Cheese Dip, Hummus, Cucumber Salata, $16, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=6jt4Q9Q5rXs6BAChmtg9Ew&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): The spicy spinach and goat cheese dip was my favorite out of the three, and reminded me of my favorite jalapeno artichoke dip. The hummus was solid, and the cucumber salata was my least favorite since it was also the least flavorful. This was a good appetizer to order for sharing! -Pumpkin Borani (Butternut Squash w/Peppers, Garlic, Topped w/Garlic Yogurt Sauce, $14, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=gqJSTvXtUekGA2M9jAyWOQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): According to their menu, this is their signature dish, and it was really good! The pumpkin was cooked perfectly, and I really liked their garlic yogurt sauce. I just wished it was served with a flatbread or some rice to mix with the sauce- recommended! They have a large menu, and there were a lot of items I wanted to try. My colleague ordered the spicy cilantro wrap, and that looked really good (and was a giant portion). Our server was very friendly, and checked in on us often. I would come back to try more menu items in the future! Parking will be the most difficult part about dining here, but there are parking lots in addition to street parking available. read more

Went with a party of four and the entire group had nothing but great things to say about the food. The butter filet mignon literally melted in your mouth. Can't recall the name of the other dish but it was a pasta dish which I wasn't expecting at all at a Mediterranean restaurant but it was so good I would go back just to eat that again. The potato bolani was spicer than I was expecting but still tasted good. The restaurant itself was set up very nicely and makes for a great date night spot. read more

Are you looking for an amazing Moroccan cuisine? Look no more and dine in this amazing restaurant. Nancy our server was amazing super friendly. Needless to say, we had an amazing service.

For salad we had the lemon caesar and greek salad both 5/5. Salad was fresh and the dressing was just perfect! Oh and don't forget to order the eggplant borani, the yogurt sauce was so good we could not stop eating it. Pumpkin borani is also a must order!

Great ambiance and Food. The kebabs and hummus are my favorites. Service was also on time and accommodated us without a reservation.

Great drinks and interesting food selection. Our server was patient with us when ordering food and the service was excellent!

I am not really happy at giving 3 stars because I have had good experience before. But with the temperatures rising these past few weeks, our visit for Happy Hour and dinner with friends, turned into an extremely uncomfortable experience because the restaurant seems completely incapable of managing their A/C vents. We were sweating for the 2+ hours and it wasn't just us who were uncomfortable. The hostess was fanning herself and what really made it even worse was the attitude of our server. He basically shrugged at our complaint with the attitude of "it is what it is"...no attempt to even offer to seat us at a different table. We've never had such an experience at any other restaurant we have been to in the past few weeks. Food was great but boy do they need to work on making their guests comfortable and feel welcomed. read more

I really enjoy this restaurant. It's peaceful and the food is tasty. The staff is kind and welcoming

The food and service were outstanding. I can say that I was pleasantly surprised with a delightful and delicious birthday lunch here. Already looking forward to going back! Ordered the sampler mezze platter w/greek dolmathes | basil shrimp (my favorite)| pumpkin borani (second favorite)| spicy spinach cheese dip (third) , chicken curry and baklava - the drinks are yummy too - we had the coconut margarita and peach martini. Definitely recommend. read more

There isn't much of a happy hour. The food offerings are very limited as are the drinks and the service is very slow even though there weren't many people. Go somewhere else for happy hour. read more

Very cute restaurant inside and bar area. Also has a nice big patio area. Fast service and friendly staff. Food was amazinggggg! First time here so we tried a few things and shared it. Would definitely recommend happy hour! Our waiter was a young blonde girl and she was very fast with service and checking on us which always makes the experience better. Definitely will be back read more

I've been coming here for several years, and each time I go back, I am reminded why I love it. This beautifully decorated, upscale Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurant transports you, if only for an hour or two, to another place. Our favorite appetizer continues to be the pumpkin borani... tender slices of butternut squash topped with a yogurt sauce and garnished with paprika. I could easily just eat this and the delightful flatbread that comes to the table. This time I had the garlic lamb shank (it was a chilly evening and I needed something to warm me). Served over mashed potatoes and a few spears of asparagus, this is a thoroughly satisfying dish. My dinner companions ordered the Aushak Tortellini and the Mantoo Dumplings. The ambiance is quietly elegant. Intricate scrollwork, tiny lanterns on the table and soft lighting make it lovely (although, if you're in need of reading glasses, don't forget them, the dim lighting in the evening makes it difficult to see without using your phone flashlight). There is an absolutely lovely patio, which we have enjoyed plenty of times (even before times of covid.). You can enjoy watching the passers by as much as you enjoy your meal. Service is adequate. I wouldn't call it exceptional, and everything tends to come to the table at once. This last time we got our appetizers before our drinks were made. The rushed service doesn't match the relaxed vibe of the restaurant. A lounge should prompt you to indulge and savor. I understand that space is a premium, but it makes you feel rushed - not good for an exquisite dinner. The drinks and dessert menus are worth exploring, along with the extensive wine list. In all, I recommend this restaurant, prices are reasonable for the atmosphere, and it situated in a great location. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon to celebrate my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. Ambiance- welcoming and inviting. Decor was nice, place pretty much clean. Needs to update their bathroom as it's out of date. Food- Shrimp appetizer, yummy with some pesto! Greek Salate - good, however, the vegetables weren't cut to bit size so I spent quite a bit of time cutting them up. Beef Kabob - Excellent! Butternut Ravioli - Definitely not your typical pasta, and with the caramelized onions, I would never order this again. read more

Oasis Restaurant - Basil Shrimp - Afghan Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Oasis.. downtown Pleasanton.. Memorial Day weekend Sunday 5/30/2021 Today's experience was no exception, great all around. Love this place. Walked in one day and was allured. What a pleasure to chat with Camren today, our beautiful server! Learned she's a former ballerina, no wonder she dances between the tables with much grace. Life works in mysterious ways.. coincidentally found connection in Camren's background with that of my niece, both professional dancers who's careers cut short by injuries. What makes a 5-star restaurant? Is it food+service+ambiance, or is there something more to it, I wonder. It's a variety of factors. Yeah, food, but also it's a place to hang out and their courtyard makes for the perfect spot. During the lockdown, came in to Oasis several times. Tables are set plenty apart, there are space heaters too (none needed today!) Dining room inside is also quite spacious and nice! It's open now, but terrace dining beats eating inside. Today's meal as always amazing. Drinks, apps, entree, all superb. We began slow, with a glass of Italian Prosecco and Juice Above the Clouds Double IPA. Super relaxing afternoon.. On a hot day like this, I was twice as thirsty:) Second round please! Leek & Cheese Gozleme appetizer is flaky, great by itself and also goes well with all their sauces. Lamb Lollipops, oh my, you simply cannot ignore! Well done yet tender, the Chef knows how to grill it to perfection.. finger licking goodness... in special secret sauce.. I've been told red peppers are involved:) Spicy Beef Cigar Rolls, with its specialty dip, which cools down the spiciness in your mouth and balances out the taste. I took seasoned basmati rice and spicy harissa sauce with my Filet Kabob. Juicy, grilled just right. I will list some of the other plates we sampled on previous visits: Mini Gyros Greek Dolmathesess Potato Bolani Leek & Cheese Gozleme Lamb Lollipops Spicy Beef Cigars Rolls Garlic-butter Filet Kabob .. juicy beef tenderloin char-grilled to perfection with grilled vegetables on skewers topped with garlic-herb butter .. 29 Mantoo Dumplings.. ground beef & onion dumplings with garlic-yogurt sauce & carrot & pea marinara.. 21 Gypsy Margarita..blanco tequila, grapefruit, lime, cranberry Peach Bellini..Prosecco, peach schnapps, orange juice Prosecco Bellafina NV Italy Merlot Decoy '18 Sonoma Tempranillo Spanish Quarter '17 Spain 780 Sangria Juice Above the Clouds Double IPA .. 8 This weekend, let us cheer to the fond memories of our loved ones no longer with us. As long as we keep the memories alive, they will always live on, in our hearts, and those we share with. read more

4.5 stars! Oasis is an upscale Mediterranean wine bar and restaurant with an elegant dining room and a lovely shaded courtyard for outdoor seating too! While the restaurant branded itself as "Mediterranean," the menu featured a number of Persian specialties--for instance, after starting off with some squares of thin, crusty flatbread, we had the pumpkin borani (the restaurant's signature dish), which consisted of super tender slices of butternut squash covered in a garlic-yogurt sauce. We also had the eggplant borani, which were slices of eggplant also topped with garlic-yogurt sauce, tomato marinara, and fresh mint. The pumpkin borani was sweet and tender, but the eggplant borani slices were rather burnt and had an unpleasant bitter flavor. Another great appetizer for sharing was the sampler mezze platter, which came with four greek dolmathes with yogurt (grape leaves stuffed with rice); shrimp topped with a basil pesto cream sauce; pumpkin borani; and a thick spicy spinach goat cheese dip! Another highlight from the appetizer section of the menu was the lamb lollipops, which were charred lamb chops served on a spicy red pepper sauce along with grilled asparagus. We also had the steak shawarma pitas, which were three mini "tacos" with a filling of sautéed filet mignon topped with a spicy harissa sauce built on tiny rounds of soft, fluffy pita. The fresh, crunchy Mediterranean salad came with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, castelvetrano green olives, pine nuts, and feta cheese, along with a balsamic vinaigrette on the side. We also added the falafel to the salad, which may have been one of my favorite items, as the fritters were perfectly crispy, earthy, and herbaceous without being the least bit greasy. And finally, we had the Sumac Trout, which was basically Oasis' version of fish and chips. This dish was made with a whole fried Rainbow trout filet seasoned with sumac and a caper butter sauce, served over crispy potato wedges. Overall, this was a great Mediterranean restaurant with tasty food and surprisingly casual, no frills service. The most memorable part of our experience was when our server literally brought out our entire order ALL at the same time on a single tray, turning our empty table into a banquet feast! read more

Happy hour on a Saturday from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. sounds like a good deal to me. Tonight was girls night out. For my besties and I this means having a good meal and spilling some tea. Starting off with several cocktails on the list that are around $7, I chose a pineapple moscow mule which was super delicious topped with a cucumber sliver and slice of lime garanish which was delicious and totally creeps up on you cuz you don't taste alcohol. Then we went for appetizers like the mini gyros, lollipop lamb chops, dolmas with tzatziki, followed by a wild Alaskan salmon Caesar salad and a Koobideh Kabob. We loved everything that we ate. The only thing that was okay was the tzatziki with the dolmas because it was a little too salty for me. Other than that, we were super filled with our yummy dinner tonight. read more

I've came here on 3 different occasions and ordered the SAME dish and EACH time, the ASPARAGUS HAS BEEN COLD!! The dish I order is the Salmon, which is good. I'm just confused on how my veggies are always cold. Anywho, I love this place. I love the atmosphere. I love the location, and I love the dishes I get! The waiters are a hit or miss. Last time I came here, our waiter was effin BOMB, but the waitress today? Eh. Nobody is perfect, so it is what it is. For dessert we had the TOFFEE ALMOND CAKE! And omggggggg it's the BEST THING ON THE MENU!!!! SO warm, so delicious, so flavorful. You NEED TO GET THIS! The ambiance is pretty much low key dim date night. My honey & I love this place. We come here if we want a light dinner & wine with dessert. Come dressed up or however you feel, but the ambiance is pretty much, GET READY! read more

Great food. Last time we were there had great service and loved sitting outside. Everything was delicious

Been to Oasis a few times and probably will be the last. Atmosphere is nice and bar is good however main course food quality is less thank desirable. Ordered rack of lamb in med rare and came out tough and slightly pink. Seemed to have been cooked on low heat. Should have sent it back but was with a large groups so didn't want to make a fuss. Oh well. read more
