Decided to try out Shish Grill today, overall I was pleased with my experience, I give a 3.75 ranking, here is more info:- Located 2 blocks south of Bollinger Canyon Road, on Market Pl & on the corner of a strip mall south of Residence Inn hotel. Walked in at lunch time today and explored the menu. I was going to order my fav which is chicken Shawarma but did not see the large rotating skewer so I hesitated. Instead selected the entree of Kofta Kabob (lamb & beef) minced together. And sides of rice & salad. There was one person taking the order and I can see in the back the cooks working away. I could not smell anything cooking so that says the kitchen is well ventilated. When the order was taken he asked for my name, and my name appeared on the delivery receipt. I like that vs. numbers being yelled out as in other restaurants, it's more personable, good job! Alas, my late finally arrived! But I thought, where is the rest? Lol.. I had one long & thin kabob on a bed of yellow rice and small salad on the side. The Kofta kabob was cooked perfectly and delicious, well done! However the rice & salad were both meh, tasteless, and the portion was small considering a $15 sticker price. So a bit of room for improvement going forward in terms of portion size, and flavor for rice and salad. Otherwise nice place for a quick meal. read more

I went on yelp to help with my craving for a fattoush chicken salad and found this spot. Located right next to Sports Basement. Small hole in the wall; owners are welcoming and courteous, and plenty of parking. I ordered the same salad from Zaytoon in Albany and was hoping for something similar. Unfortunately, the food itself left me unsatisfied. The chicken was dry and the salad overall, was a bit sour for my liking. Portions were also small. read more

Came here with family and got the spinach pie and the combo plate. The music and aesthetic were pretty cozy. The spinach pie dough was very soft and the filling was flavorful. The combo plate with beef, chicken and lamb was generously spiced and tender. The garlic sauce was a great addition to the plate. Lastly the workers were friendly and reasonable answering questions about the menu. Very comfortable environment would go again. read more

Shish Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

This has become a regular lunch stop for my husband and me. I love the Fatoush salad (take it next level by asking for the spicy beef and lamb to be added if you do meet. I regularly get the tabouleh. It's generally good but sometimes the lemon can be, well, super lemon. I usually order it with the hummus and they pair well together. The lentil soup is really satisfying. Bright notes of lemon give a satisfying tang. The grape leaves are delicious, I like that they're served warm. My husband likes the Lamb Kabob, although I think it resembles something terribly unappealing. He gets it every time though, do it must be good. My only complaint is the soda fountain always seems to be off kilter, either not enough syrup going in or the wrong soda comes out if the machine (I git diet out if regular). But honestly, I shouldn't be drinking that stuff anyway, so last time I just got a pellegrino) Bref: love it, great flavors, nice patio for outdoor lunch. read more

SO SO SO GOOD! DELICIOUS FOOD, LOW PRICE! Quick tip: scan their website, they usually have a couple of coupons. My family orders this every week (sometimes twice) read more

Always good. Always consistent. We have been to this place a few times and very happy with the food and staff. Portions are generous and employees are very courteous. Will definitely be back. A friendly reminder, one of the female employees who was preparing take outs kept removing her mask. That made me a bit concerned. I understand its hot back there and difficult to breath with the mask. However ,I would be probably more cautious around food. Gloves and masks should be a MUST. read more

During covid-19, we are trying to support our favorite places or at least small ones. So, this is our first time at Shish Grill but we live nearby and always notice a line or people sitting outside eating so we decided to head in. The smell as you walk up is so intoxicating that even as a 40 year plus vegetarian and it makes me wish I ate meat! We started to order and the gal that takes the order isn't very nice or welcoming. Even when I went to tip her, she acted annoyed. It was weird. The other thing I didn't like was that later she was in the back without her mask on AND the woman chef in the back had her mask hanging from her right ear. The male chef had his mask on the whole time as did the young man who seemed to work both in the store and in the restaurant. He was very sweet. Now to the food. We ordered rice, hummus, pitas, Greek Salad, lamb burger, and garlic fries. The salad was one of the best salads I have ever had. I got it without feta and it was so tart and wonderful! The fries also were so good. The rice was bland. Husband reports the lamb burger was just ok. Nothing special. The pitas were dry but the hummus was really good. So, I am giving it a 3 because half the food was ok and because of the mask issue and the unfriendly cashier. I mean, who is snarky with someone who is trying to leave a tip? I'm still baffled by that. read more

Delicious Arabic food. Good portion sizes. Excellent flavor. Regular customer now. I highly recommend Shish Grill.

Love the food it taste amazing and the chef Nancy! The customer service is great! Really recommend this place. read more

I had zero expectations going into this restaurant. As someone who is always disappointed by the lack of QUALITY Arab food in the East Bay, this place definitely brightened my outlook. Although the teen taking the orders was a little unsure about just about everything, I'll give her a pass because she might be new. The shawarma was so juicy, the flavors on par with homemade Arab food, the kibbeh authentic tasting, and the sauces were delightful. This will definitely be my spot whenever I'm craving some shawarma or kabob. read more

Had the lamb burger, humus and the lentil/split pea soup. All very, very good. The soup was great and their humus is definitely one of the, if not the best I've had. Tried 2 of the deserts, baklava and ashtalia. Very good, the ashtalia in particular. Overall quite good. read more

Chicken shawarma was so tasty and flavorful, complemented perfectly by their turmeric rice and crunchy veggies. But their tangy garlic sauce was to die for. Satisfying, filling, and an utterly scrumptious healthy meal. Highly recommend for a nutritious and satisfying lunch if ever in San Ramon area. read more

Delicious food, stopped here when in town for work and tried it on a whim. Would definitely go again

Sheesh, this place is pretty grill. Went here for lunch on a weekday and luckily got there before noon to get an inside table. Otherwise, we would be sitting outside freezing our little sheeshs off or making a mess droppin' little kebobs on the car mats. That would not be a pretty sight and site. Yes, honey, those really are kebobs on the mat, really..... Stood in line to order, ordered the Kafta Entree which is a lamb and beef sausage over rice which comes with a side plate of salad and small container of garlic dip. The dip was garlicky good however it will linger in your throat for hours. You know that feeling, like the mucous being stripped from your throat.... Have mints ready when you use the dip. Additionally, had the stuffed grape leaves. The stuffed leaves normally come in a plate of six but the cashier was able to get approval from the chef, cook, owner to arrange a four plate. Four leaves and more salad on top of the stuffed leaves. Great Customer service! Only slight letdown was the Baklava - tasty, gooey, crunchy that was a bit smally. Overall, very good, healthy, tasty food with friendly service. Get there early if you plan to eat there. Order, receive a number, find a table, chow down, clear your table, exit the premises, plan your next visit to Shish Grill, thank you... read more

Always open, always good! The family favorite for a few years now. The people here at Shish were a lifeline during the pandemic. Working in a desolate town while Shish was still bustling and keeping the good food coming. Can always expect a few smiles when I bring home some Shish. Everyone has their favorite thing on the menu. Mine is the lentil soup. Perfect meal on the go. Not too heavy, but filling and nutritious. read more

Stopped in today for the first time and it did not disappoint! Arzo was helpful and friendly. Offered her suggestions and helped me pick what I wanted! The food, phenomenal. I got the gyro sandwich with a side of rice. The hummus and the pita bread were amazing! Such a good find. If you don't know where to eat. Try this place!!!! You won't regret it! read more

I love everything about this restaurant! Food is phenomenal and customer service is amazing.The owner ( Nancy) she is always there and take care of you in a best way.

Best Middle East take-out in the valley. Having lived in the Middle East I consider myself a good judge of authentic ME food. They are from Lebanon and so very friendly and outgoing. My only complaint is the pita. Too thin and tasteless. I recommend they buy Jerusalem Pita which I buy at Genes Fine Foods in Pleasanton. It's authentic ME pita. You can't go wrong at Shish!!!! read more
