The wait staff was very helpful as we navigated the menu. We actually ended up ordering more than what we could handle. But every dish was flavorful that we had enough for another meal. The meats were tender and juicy. Definitely worth a return if your craving grilled fare.

I had a very disappointing and upsetting experience at Sultan Kebab in Livermore…read more I ordered a shawarma salad and specifically avoid eating beef because it is against my religion. Unfortunately, I was served beef anyway. On top of that, the salad was spoiled. Shortly after eating it, I became extremely sick and started vomiting repeatedly. I called the restaurant to let them know what happened, but no one responded or made any effort to address the situation or follow up with me. Serving someone meat that goes against their religious beliefs is a serious mistake, and serving spoiled food is unacceptable. I hope the restaurant improves its food safety practices and pays closer attention to customers' dietary and religious restrictions so this doesn't happen to anyone else.

I've been meaning to try the one in Pleasanton forever ago, but I stumbled onto this newer location…read morein Livermore so here we are. Looks like it took over the old Harry's Hofbrau space except they turned that massive space into 2 units now, as the days of massive dining halls are starting to become a rarity. Order at a counter and food gets brought to your table. There's a full bar (which I thought was strange for this type of food) but this is also Livermore where it still tends to have a stronger drinking culture than most other suburban towns. Most of the seating is in their 'outdoor' patio which is pretty well enclosed with one of those catering tents. Babaghanoush ($8/2.5*) Looked great with warm pita and an olive oil drizzle on top. Texture was spot on creamy and soft but they overloaded this usually delicate dip/mezze with enough raw garlic to kill a horse. Now I usually love garlic but this was to the point where you couldn't taste anything else so main ingredient which is roasted eggplant, you couldn't even tell what it was. And your mouth was tingling with that harsh garlic taste for minutes after chewing it down. Instead of wasting it, I packed it home and used it like Toum to spread onto other things. I've actually had Toums less potent than this. Adana Kabob ($19/4.5*) This a ground lamb kabob Turkish style. Similar to a Lule, Koobideh, Shami kabobs from other cultures. Turkish has pretty bold spicing but not as strong as Afghan or Pakistani. And definitely more assertive than Persian or Armenian. So kind of in the middle of the spectrum. I loved the texture and the flavor, just maybe a tad ambitious on the charring. Now that char did add an awesome grill flavor but a couple degrees more than burnt qualities may then be perceived. Combo Beef/Lamb Kabob $20/4*) For combos you can actually pick from several kabobs. They use smaller chunks like half inch cubes small. It is very natural tasting, no heavy marinades or spicing. Tasted like just salt to me so you can really taste the protein. But very well done but not really dry. I just prefer larger chunks like at least 1 inch cubes, so the meat stays juicy and succulent. Afghan and Persian kabobs usually have bigger pieces on those skewers. And these plates have a side of salted plain rice (not basmati) a green salad, some pita and a nice dollop of hummus which was top notch. Decent food, efficient service is going to make them a solid option for me in this town. Iskender, lamb shanks still in the zone for me to try.

My wife and I were in Turlock for a short day trip and found Nami-No on Yelp. We decided to give it…read morea try, and we're so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine hospitality. The food was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The portions were incredibly generous; we couldn't even finish our meals and ended up taking more than half of the food home. What impressed us just as much as the food was the outstanding service. Our host checked on us several times throughout our meal to make sure everything was perfect, and toward the end of our visit, the restaurant manager personally stopped by to ask how we were doing. That level of care and attention made us feel truly valued as guests. If you're in Turlock and looking for great food, generous portions, and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Nami-No. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town!
