This is the home of Bitchin Baklava, and I will not eat baklava from anywhere else. I have never…read moreliked baklava until I've had it from here. Store bought, forget it. My friend's, they try. Mom's, I'll take a bite. This is my source for baklava from now on. With so many flavors to choose from, it's hard to just get one or two. I usually leave with a tray. A flakey top layer that's not too crispy or dried out, nor is it drenched in syrup. The inside has the perfect amount of filling, texture, and flavor. Doesn't matter if it's pecan, walnut, pistachio, chocolate, whatever, they're all my favorite. If you're a fan of baklava, or want to try it for the first time, get it right and get some Bitchin Baklava from Al Masri in San Francisco.

She was very skilled. Beautiful young woman, balancing a sword, doing all kinds of dances in different costumes, she put a great effort in it. Balancing a whole chandelier of burning real candles on her head. And interacting in a very nice way with the Guests. They happen to be a group of young women celebrating graduation. So we all danced. This is not my first time there. Really love that place. If you haven't been, you should check it out!

Carpets and cushions everywhere, dim lights and curtained ceilings with beautiful light fixtures. Too bad we can't have hookah smoke anymore. You get to choose among different options for different courses, but mostly everybody gets the same thing except for the main protein. Because I'm pescatarian, The Wife graciously agreed to a veggie bastilla, instead of chicken. We expected the same thing, just without chicken; so egg and nuts. Nope - neither were present. But there was a lot of carrots. There was also a carrot salad, and carrots on the side of my main dish. The salad course was superb. The aforementioned carrot salad, plus a cucumber salad, and an amazing eggplant salad that I kept scooping up in my pita. I had the Moroccan seafood platter, with shrimp and scallops, both very well cooked. The Wife had the chicken kabob, and was very happy. At the end, we had baklava with stylishly poured mint tea. The show is almost as important as the meal. Speaking of which, we were there for the belly dancer Jennifer, and she was excellent. She started with a lit skirt, then came back twice, once with a curved sword on her head and another just alone. Beautiful and friendly, dancing briefly with a gentleman from one party, and for a while with a younger girl from another large family. So sweet.

We all ordered the koobideh, mine with half rice and salad, while the men went for the full two-skewer plate with rice. I'm mostly vegetarian...until you offer me a really good burger or koobideh! The meat was perfectly seasoned and incredibly flavorful, especially with the grilled tomato, fresh onion, and a sprinkle of sumac. Every bite was delicious. The tahdig (crispy rice) and torshi (pickle) on the side was a fantastic touch if you enjoy that extra bit of texture and tang. The restaurant itself is beautiful, warm, and thoughtfully designed, making it a great place to relax over lunch. What really stood out, though, was the service. It was impeccable; our drinks were never empty, and the staff was attentive without ever being intrusive. We finished our meal with Persian tea, which was the perfect ending to a satisfying lunch. We'll definitely be back.

Jubba is serving up some of the best food i've ever had. As a newbie to somali food, I am now hooked. we came in on a friday around 6:15 and there was a steady group of people enjoying their food. we ordered at the counter and took a seat outside to enjoy the weather 1 Sambusa 1 chicken wrap 1 beef plate the sambusa arrived first and initially I thought Samosa in my head. But the sambusa has a better structure, holding its shape after multiple bites. the Dough is softer but still crispy. it came with beef , chilies and other vegetables. so so good. the perfect appetizer for us. it came with a spicy green sauce that seemed to be the common sauce for every dish then the stars of the show. The sizzling hot beef plate served with veggies, rice and a salad was unbelievable. add on a lemon and some more greens sauce and you're in for a treat. the rice alone was so flavorful and it tasted like there was meat drippings on top. the beef was so tender and fell apart in 1 bite. I was blown away with the dish the chicken wrap... man. I'm not sure what kind of bread, pita was used but it was fantastic. a huge wrap with lettuce, onion chicken, sauce and other veggies. It was so messy and hard to eat with your hands so we resorted to eating with a fork and knife. Unreal. Unreal. massive portions again which are a theme here. But holy smokes this was so good. The chicken has a nice char, but is also juicy and saucy. the spongy pita neutralizes the bombardment of flavor from the meat, and the veggies compliment everything with some crunch and texture. Service was great and very helpful. They were extremely friendly and a delight to talk with. We will be back 5/5

It's a nice cozy restaurant near the Chenoywyth VTA train station in San Jose on the train side. My brother and his friend have been going here for maybe twenty years. The food is tasty, the rice has a nice flavor, and the chicken has onions and other vegetables with some spices with which I wasn't able to identify. They offer a chai tea without milk, it was sweet and very flavorful. I also did takeout and ordered a goat dish with rice for my mom at home. She also enjoys eating this dish when she comes here with my brother. I would definitely come here again.

5*s just for the pancakes. Best I ever ate…read more Now onto everything else....... ***Ambiance: minimalist Moroccan style decor. Loved the large tree in the center, Moroccan style tiles, white walls, black roof, white and black images of horses, and the simple yet solid furniture. ***service: kind of slow but we didn't mind, our waiter was very patient and went through almost all items on the menu describing them in detail. ***Food: not all items were amazing but I tend to rate a place very high if they serve atleast one dish which was mind blowing. In this case it was the pancakes. *pancakes- 5/5- the kind that breaks if you try to lift it off the plate, the kind with more aeration than physically possible, the kind that I didn't believe existed! lol, they were really good. Easily the best I ever ate. I am not a pancake fan but these were fluffy clouds of heaven and with the lemon honey, it was a match made in heaven. *shakshuka-3.5/5- they used chickpeas as the base instead of the regular tomato sauce. It was similar to an Indian style chickpeas curry topped with two egg yellows. *avocado toast-4.5/5- this was the most beautiful avocado toast I laid my eyes on. It was served atop their house made bread. It was hearty and rustic studded with a variety of seeds. The avocado toast was topped with some flower petals and greens and was truly beautiful to look at. *shrimp and grits-4/5- the shrimp was beautifully cooked and had a wonderful char. The grits had a slightly grainy texture. *burrata-4/5- this was another work of art. The cheese came with some tomato jam which was slightly sweet and had an interesting flavor. This came with a slice of the same bread as the avocado toast.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!…read more For as long as I can remember, my dad's been on the hunt for a place that can make chicken shawarma that tastes like what he remembers from living in Saudi Arabia. And Shawarmaji has been just that. Everything is so perfect and so flavorful. The portions are great (wraps are huge and a mini can easily fulfill me). The chicken shawarma fries are to die for. Food never takes too long no matter how busy it is. Decor is great to peruse at while waiting for the food and there is ample seating to enjoy your food once you get it. Parking can be tough, especially on the weekends, but there are surrounding streets where you can snag a spot for free (as long as you're willing to look). Been here a couple times now and each time is so good. Shawarmaji, you have my heart (and by that, I mean my stomach)!

I ordered online from here through a third party delivery app and everything was packed perfectly…read more I chose the Arbi chicken 12 inch wrap with extra meat that came with pickles on the side, extra toum and tahini salad. I should have gone with the fries on the side but maybe next time. I requested the wrap to be cut in half but my request wasn't honored and it was sliced into pieces. The filling was falling off on every bite which is why I requested the wrap to be cut in half. The chicken was scanty tbh. Not a lot of chicken even after paying for extra meat but the wrap was delicious. The pickles were my most favorite accompaniment with the wrap. The toum was garlicky and delicious! The tahini salad is cucumbers and tomatoes chopped up and mixed with tahini. I wish I had ordered a different side. I also ordered 6 falafels and they were delicious! I would love to try their shawarma wrap next time. The food delivery costed a lot throught the third party delivery app which as a note to self, I'll drive there myself to pick up the order or dine in next time. Delicious wrap!
