    Located within the Real Produce grocery store is a full on Mediterranean Food Court. They offer the usual suspects like gyros, falafel, and the like. Given how much we liked the market and needing lunch we put in an order and it was really good. In fact we came back a few days later to make sure it was not a fluke (It wasn't) Each plate comes with a small salad, batsmati rice, hummus, half a pillowly warm pita and you chose your protein. All plates are reasonably priced at $9.99 Beef Shawarma Plate: tender pieces of beef that were well seasoned. Unlike some places it was free of gristle as well. Chicken Kabob: Again tender pieces of chicken with a hint of turmeric and perhaps saffron. Again perfectly cooked. Lamb Kabob: A touch chewy, slightly overcooked, but had again really good flavor, Beef Gyro: TO be fair I was a little concerned as it was reheated prior to packaging, but I cannot complain about the flavor or the results. Hints of garlic and other spices, it was perfect with rice and hummus. Falafel Plate: Perfectly fried bits of goodness. Crunchy exterior gave way to a cooked but moist center busting with parsley, garlic and cumin. It was not falafel enough to muscle into the top spot in my rankings, but it easily made it into the top 3. As noted each plate came with a: Salad: fresh and crispy. It was a bit inconsistent as the second trip it had no dressing. Hummous: a touch on the runny side but had great flavor again with the cumin and garlic coming through but not overwhelming. Rice: The batsmati was properly cooked and it was refreshing to see it was not loaded up with butter as many places do. The staff is friendly and helpful. It can take time to get the order out so be prepared. In fact I would order first and then do my shopping. Good food reasonably priced will win every time!

    Chicken Kebob Plate. Excellent!

    I just tried my first chicken kabob plate and it was delicious! I had to share with the town how the fruit stand is fresh and I go all of the time. But the food is so good.

    Honestly, I love this place! Been coming here for months and the amount of delicious food you get for the price point is great especially for Palo Alto. This kitchen is part of the grocery store which is incredible because I have seen them pick up groceries for the kitchen to use. Honestly, I wish I had more photos to post to showcase the different hot food they have but it's so good that I usually end up inhaling it too quickly and forget They have a hot foods, cold foods, and desserts section. There's a diversity of hot foods everyday, usually ranging from stews (beef, lamb, chicken, eggplant, okra), roasted chicken, roasted vegetables, this delicious cauliflower yogurt thing that I unfortunately didn't get the name of, lentils, rice, etc. You can ask for hot sauce on the side. The food is always well seasoned and delicious! At the cold food section, there's hummus, baba gaboush, all sorts of salads, dolmas, tabouleh, etc etc. I personally love the cauliflower salad! The desserts are filled with all sorts of different pastries, baklava, etc. I haven't had too much of this as I don't have the biggest sweet tooth, but it's pretty good. If you ever catch the chef there, Hanna, say hi or something! He's super friendly and personable and makes all the food fresh everyday. He's currently working on getting a site up and running for this place so that there will be online updates on the (hot food) menu for each day. As for now, you kind of just have to go in and see what you get, but I have yet to be disappointed!

    Omg!!!! So freaking good! You must try the chicken plate!

    Omg! Look at this Chicken Kabob! So good! Just to let you all know they make it fresh on the spot. You have to be patient and don't worry it's delicious! You should stop by over the weekends. They have Kabobs grilled and the taste! No doubt! Delicious!

    I came here on a Saturday around noon and saw a long line so I was worried that it would a while to…read moreget seated but the line moved quickly and I was able to order in about 30 mins. You have to place your order before they give you a table to sit at, which I found be more efficient than waiting for a table. I ordered the burrata toast and had the option to switch out my salad with potatoes for $3 more. I opted to try the potatoes since my friend mentioned that they were super flavorful. My friend and I sat down close the the entrance and only waited about 10 mins for our food to come out. The pesto spread on the toast worked well with the burrata and tomato and the potatoes were in fact, super flavorful!! I will definitely come back if I'm in the area!

I honestly thought it was an office building as I've passed by so many times, but was glad when friends suggested coming here to enjoy brunch in their back patio! I tried the shakshuka with sausage and it was flavorful. Got an iced latte that was decent. P2 got the yogurt (and apparently cotton candy-topped) pancakes and a hot mocha which were good! Friends all ordered things from grain bowls to waffles and things with eggs and all were raving about the food. Place is self service: you order at the counter, grab your water and utensils, and a runner drops the food to your table. The only downsides here were that it's slightly on the pricey side in my book and parking was a little meh. We got here at 10am on a Saturday and they have a parking person directing confused visitors where to go. The lot was already full so we parked on the street. Other than that, this place is a really nice spot to relax with friends or a date for weekend brunch! I'll definitely come back!

The customer service was excellent from the moment we walked in. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and created a great atmosphere. I ordered the tuna sandwich, and my husband ordered the tuna combo. Unfortunately, neither of us was overly impressed with the taste. It may be because we were comparing it to a tuna sandwich we usually get from another deli, and this one just didn't quite live up to our expectations. We also tried the lemon pie and apple pie, which were both decent and made for a nice treat after our meal. Even though the food wasn't exactly what we were hoping for, I would definitely come back and try something different because the customer service and overall energy of the place were outstanding. Sometimes a great atmosphere and friendly staff are enough to make you want to give a place another chance.

As a bank…read moremanager, my lunch breaks are usually short, so finding a place that's nearby, fast, and consistently great is a huge win. What I really appreciate is how simple they keep everything. Their focus on fresh, handmade sourdough sandwiches with quality ingredients makes ordering easy. There isn't an overwhelming menu--you know exactly what you're getting, and every sandwich is made fresh and comes out quickly, which is perfect when you're on a tight lunch schedule. The customer service is just as impressive as the food. The staff always greet you with a smile, make sure you're taken care of, and create a welcoming atmosphere that keeps you coming back. Whether you choose to enjoy your meal outside in the business district or take it to go, the experience is always enjoyable. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the excellent service. It's hard to find a lunch spot that's this consistent, convenient, and welcoming. This has quickly become one of my favorite places for lunch. If you're looking for a delicious sandwich, fast service, fair prices, and people who genuinely appreciate their customers, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It's one of those hidden gems that's absolutely worth discovering!

I think the salad is just right. This was my first time dining in, and I really enjoyed it! I think the bowls are very pretty and raises the elegance of dining for sure. We ordered the Peruvian steak sandwich and the Seasonal GOAT with Sweet Citrus - the taste was lovely and well-balanced with some spicy taste. The goat cheese was light and airy, so definitely doable even if you're not a huge fan of goat cheese. The inside space was super spacious, and you can choose to sit both inside or out.

The space is open with lots of seating, and bathrooms were also clean. Service was overall quick and it took about 20 minutes before our order was done. Each item was okay!

The Happy Hippie was also good, but I wished the bread was warmer. My partner liked his prosciutto and chicken, though I wished it came with greens to lighten the flavor up. Overall, I am glad I tried!

The bread is fresh, some of its baked in the store. The meat is high-quality. The vegetables are fresh and crisp. The combinations are interesting and tasty.

Indoor and outdoor seating, clean restrooms. In the evening, it turns into a hookah social event with Middle Eastern music. I've never done hookah, but it looks like the people doing it are having fun. The reason this place is so well run is the owner seem to be there most of the time and take a lot of pride.

I think it's because they also do online orders but it still felt like a while. I got the large Saigon signature sandwich with a salted Vietnamese coffee. The sandwich tasted fine but the meat to bread ratio doesn't feel right. It's too much on the bread which makes the sandwich feel dry. The pate helps balance this out but it still doesn't feel like enough. The sandwich was also colder than I expected. The Saigon Signature does include cold cut meats but I'm typically used to the sandwich itself being warmed up a bit or at least room temp. Overall, the sandwich tasted fine but I would've preferred a softer bread that was a bit warmer with a bit more filling, even just vegetables. I will admit that it is a big sandwich though. But for a sandwich named Saigon Signature, it felt lackluster. Maybe their other sandwiches are an improvement. The coffee was not good. It was watery compared to regular Vietnamese coffee. It also tasted bitter, unsure if it's due to the beans, burning the coffee, or something else. Vietnamese coffee, even when black, has a lot of depth and dimension to it. The salted foam on the top was good though. But in the end, I wouldn't go here for coffee. The shop feels clean and modern although not a lot of seating options. It's a banh mi and coffee shop so more of a grab-and-go type place.
