    I came by on a Monday evening and saw the chairs upside down on all of the tables in the indoor dining area (except where customers were eating), the interior of the place looking like most restaurants do 5 minutes before closing time. But I was there more than 2 hours before closing time, so it was a surprise to see this and it made the place feel a little less inviting. I ordered a small beef gyro platter for takeout. It took just a couple minutes to prepare from the food station, and service was standard, with the staff providing extra white sauce packets on the side per request. The meat didn't taste as fresh as I usually get from other locations, but it was still tasty along with the other ingredients which seemed to be of good quality. It made for a satisfying meal, consistent in flavor to what I always get at HG. It also only came with two itty bitty pieces of pita bread, a fraction of what I typically get at other locations, but I don't mind less carbs.

    Great food for a great price point! I remember the YEE back when this location opened and it was a great reminder of that again! As always, love their chicken and beef bowl with polices! Tastes healthy, is balanced with tons of veggies without breaking the bank. The white sauce is so good but it can be pretty calorie heavy.

    I've only been to The Halal Guys in New York City and loved it, so I was excited to try it in Santa Clara...and it did not disappoint. We were at Barebottle Brewing next door, which lets you bring in outside food. I had the Small Platter with Beef Gyro and Chicken which was $11.99 and I think the portions are good. It was delicious and how I remember it. Service wasn't what I would necessarily say friendly, but they were efficient. Order was quick and correct for the four items I ordered. Not a lot of seating and most were taking food to go. I love the White and Hot Sauce.

    Ordered for pickup, my first time. Was not even started, and I typically don't mind waiting as the weather is super nice out. Portions for falafel and beef gyro were sparse...the worse thing was that I bit into a piece of black metal and split it. Like probably a charred staple or something in a gyro slice. Hope my tooth isn't chipped... This could have been super dangerous for a child or a dog if swallowed. Fries were so yummy, so probably not healthy - I enjoyed them though!

    No complaints here. Unlike some of the other reviews stated, my portion size was just fine. I was in and out within 5 minutes. Cashier was super chill.

    Good fast food type of restaurant. They make everything to order like the burrito place. Friendly enough service. I really like the hot sauce with the gyro. The rotisserie meat is pretty good and overall a great deal for a cheap eat.

    Mold on the Pita bread. Tastes different from the usual. Seems like the ingredients are old. We didnt eat our bowls as well for safety.

    Mold on the Pita Bread - looks like ingredients are old. We stopped eating even pur bowls as we do not want to get sick. Sucks!!

    Four and half stars. I really love Middle Eastern food and all the shawarma videos I've seen on…read moreYoutube and how. Alot of people have said that the Syrian version is the best I know I needed to try it. Behold Iraklis ended up being only five minutes from my house. I remember that this place used to be so many other restaurants,and now has been replaced by this great place. You know the food is going to be good when the owner or manager comes out to ask you how the food is to each costumer. I felt that warmth for sure. As for the food it was very delicious the stand out was of course was rmthe shawarma I got chicken which came with the pomegranate molasses, which was good, but maybe next time I can ask for a little less because I do want to also try the chicken flavor itself, which is why I also for the chicken kakbab on the side to which was very well seasoned and delicious. The pickles and hummus on the side for both plates are a very nice touch they help cut some of the richness down. The fries are the underrated gem also. The way they are fried and cooked here, I think they do fresh batches every time, that is the vibe I get with this place. The hibiscus juice was also really refreshing to drink. It's a small place but most of the tables were all seated by people, and people were coming in and ordering to go, so you know it's good! Definitely give this place a try!

    Can't believe I haven't written a review for Iraklis yet! I've tried quite a number of things on…read morethe menu, and have thourugly liked just about everything! My favorites include the shawarma lamb wrap damascus style, falafel tacos, the original chicken shawarma wrap, and of course the pickles and toum. I also really enjoyed the Fatteh. You can't really go wrong with anything here, it's just about what your personal favorites are. The owners are so kind and friendly, always chatting with everyone in the restaurant, they create a very warm and welcoming environment, and you can tell they really care about what they do.

    Hella yummy Palestinian food in the Bay!…read more I've heard of Holyland but finally had the chance to dine there for a weekend lunch. These days it's always at the front of my mind that food spots that call themselves "Middle Eastern" or "Mediterranean" truly divulge who is the owner and chefs are. I'm talking about only eating from restaurants that can name the country their food comes from be it Falasteen, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the list goes on. Holyland is located in the industrial part of Santa Clara, and they boast lots of interior seating (great for large parties and group meals) and also run a catering service. So there's loads of parking and plenty of space. My friend and I were hungry, so I got the lamb kofta and he had the beef plates. We were SO happy. It comes with a light tangy salad, delicious hummus with a kick of spice, a bed of delicious yellow rice and slender pita bread. They also have serve-yourself hot cardamom tea which is so delicious and perfect. They also serve a bunch of other refrigerated drinks like Salaam Cola and kefir. The mezze plate with x4 different dips looks so yummy, I would get that next time with a large group to share. Will definitely head back with a larger group. We saw other diners from couples, to solo to large families eating. The interior could use some sprucing up, but the quality of the food, staff, and authenticity of the place is #1. Delicious. Freedom for the Holyland Five and liberation for all of Palestine!

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAtmosphere: 5/5 Yummy!! We got for takeout: - kefta kebab plate: meat was flavorful but slightly too pink in the center! We microwaved for 30seconds and it was fine, still super juicy. The hummus it comes with has a spice added in the center of it - moussaka with meat: very flavorful, has eggplants, peppers, onions, ground beef - kenafeh: soft, sweet, without being overly drenched in syrup My partner really liked the moussaka. Everything is thoroughly cooked in it and flavored really well, and the rice pairs great. I went on a Thursday afternoon before 5pm and it was empty, food was brought out pretty quickly and they were friendly. There's plenty of parking, it's tucked behind some other buildings.

I haven't had Xinjiang/Uyghur cuisine before eating here, but it's delicious! While the noodles are often in oil-based flavorings, they are never too heavy as the herbs and spices balance the light oil. Everything has lots of flavor, though if you can't eat lots of oil, some dishes may not be for you. The hand-pulled noodles are very long, so if you are sharing a dish, you may be pulling them out for a while or end up grabbing the same noodle as someone else. The restaurant is on the smaller side and with only 1 larger table seating 5-7 realistically, so tables of 2-4 will be seated quicker. This is not a place for large parties, and you may feel a touch close to other diners at other tables. I'll definitely be back when I'm looking to eat something on El Camino!

    Very amazing restaurant with a cozy interior and excellent food. It's in a random part of Sunnyvale…read morethat errs more residential. It's easy to ignore if you don't go looking for it. I ordered the chicken tikka masala, the crazy curry fries, and a mango lassi. I was fully knocked out. The chai at the register is also so delicious and free, you should definitely grab some if you can! It's piping hot and perfectly spiced. The chicken tikka masala itself comes with a delicious flaky naan that's similar to Chinese scallion pancake. It pairs perfectly with the dish itself. The crazy curry fries were also so good and saucy. I was so happy that we were splitting this dish six ways, because I would not have any space to try it had I gone individually. My friend got the Tikka Burger, and he was knocked OUT. It looked so amazing and smelled divine. We also got the yogurt dip to share, and it was so savory and creamy. I'd recommend this to anyone in the area who wants to try some amazing Pakistani food.
