I moved away from the area some time ago, so I haven't had the chance to come here nearly as often as I used to. Happy to report that aside from the higher prices and the slightly smaller banana shake, everything else remains exactly the same. Still one of my favorite family-owned San Jose staples. Consistency like that over two decades is hard to find. BB

Haven't been here for awhile and decided to come back for their famous falafel…read more This place was in the Diner's, Drive-in and Dive Food Network show many years ago. It's really cool that they have all the drawings on the wall by the seating area. Their falafel is very good - crispy outside and dense inside. The Falafel pita sandwich is stuffed with falafel, lettuce and tomatoes. Their tahini sauce unfortunately is very thin, watery and not much tahini taste. I don't recall it's so runny before. It is very diluted and that's disappointing. Service is fast. The gentlemen at the windows are friendly and helpful. Note that they charge 3% credit card fee. Parking lot is small and you may need to park on the street.

They got the food out fast and my group really enjoyed it. I personally prefer the chicken shawarma. The service was fantastic and it was our first time. They gave us recommendations and the falafels came out fresh. The place is definitely better than the chain places I've been too. It's in a cozy plaza. Definitely my go to spot in the future.

We ordered 2 plates, chicken for Gavin and falafel for me. I explained that we wanted rice, the selected protein, hummus, and tzatziki sauce, but the lady behind the counter gave us salad, etc. Something we did not want. It was hard to understand what the lady was asking us. Gavin enjoyed the chicken. I enjoyed the falafel (not dry). But because there were more salad, we had to toss it once our proteins and most of their delicious rice is gone. Parking was easy as noted by Cherylynn.

The gyro meat was soft and tasty but on the salty side. The Hummus was good especially topped with the chili sauce and pita. Chili sauce tasted like chili and salsa mixed together; added a little spice and slight sweetness. Pita was soft, fluffy inside and toasty grilled outside. The salad has a vinaigrette dressing which had sweet citrus flavor; complemented the other items on the plate. The Basmati rice was yummy, with butter flavor. The Falafel was soft almost fluffy inside vs dense. The outer fried layer had a nutty taste with cumin with slight spicy flavor. The Beek Kabab was ok. A bit tough but good seasoning. Also a bit expensive for $21 with only about 5 pieces of beef chunks. The Cheeseburger was ok. They had the self serve water cooler by the window so it doesn't really stay cold because it's directly hit by the sun. Good place to get food to go. You order using the kiosk tablet. They brought the food pretty quickly.

There's indoor seating and a few tables outside. I ordered at the self-service kiosk, and my food came out in a reasonable amount of time. They offer burgers and wraps too but I went with the falafel plate and it was actually better than expected. The falafels were crispy, and there was plenty of hummus and pita to go with it. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely come back again.

I ate it again recently and it tasted below average. The chicken was completely white and bland, likely unseasoned. The pita bread was dry and cold, even in my warm bowl. They couldn't even be bothered to warm it up and just served it cold. I found the packaging of their white sauce weird without the Halal Guys branding. The white sauce tasted okay, but not like "magic" in the way it used to tie everything in the bowl together. Sad to see that franchising has ruined their reputation. Their New York street cart is probably still a hit with locals. The Kebab Shop is a much better alternative.

It comes with garlic fries and a Greek salad, plus this garlic sauce that honestly ties everything together in the best way. The fish is super fresh every time, flaky, and cooked perfectly with that slightly crisp outside and soft inside. The flavors are really balanced and clean. Nothing feels too heavy, but you still leave feeling really satisfied. The garlic fries are so good on their own but even better when you mix them with the fish and salad. Service is always great too. Everyone is attentive without being over the top, and things come out at a good pace even when it is busy. I also really love sitting on the outside patio. It has a relaxed vibe and makes the whole meal feel easy and unhurried. It is one of those places I keep going back to because it is consistently good, fresh, and just a really nice experience overall.

The parking was surprisingly good for lunch time. Primarily inside seating. The restaurant was crowded. The atmosphere was loud as it's a popular place.

I chose the tumeric rice, eggplant ragout, tomato cucumber mix, diced beets, diced pickles, Babaganous, Tzatziki, & Lemon Aioli. Served with Lentil soup. A good healthy meal with fresh ingredients!

Next time I will absolutely try a shawarma wrap!

Nothing. Very short and uninterested. Ambiance: 2/5 - feels like a grocery store.. it's also not well lit.. Food: 3/5 - let's start with the fact that I didn't get my entire order. Well I didn't get the side that came with my order. So the chicken shawarma Arabic style wrap. Well.. chicken flavor wasn't too bad to be fair, but the pickles seemed old, and the wrap in general looked a bit sad and lacked some more flavors. Lastly, I think this place is about 20% over priced. Let's put it this way, if you are hungry, it will do the trick.. it's not the worst, but definitely far from the best.
