    Salad
    Vicky Y.

    Came here on a Sunday night and I really enjoyed the meal with a few hiccups. Ordering via the kiosk was efficient, but by the time I ordered, I realized they had already cleaned up and closed the Sauce Bar at 8pm even though they close at 9. Portions were big but the sauces felt a bit skimpy compared to how much food you get, and the chicken leaned slightly on the dry side. That said, the "fire hummus" truly lived up to its name -- had a great kick without being overwhelming, and I loved pairing it with the crispy pita. I was actually really excited to try the truffle rice, but my order got mixed up and I ended up with saffron rice instead. It was still good, just not what I was craving, so a little disappointing there. Nevertheless, it's still a satisfying spot with bold flavors and huge portions.

    Stopped by The Kebab Shop and really enjoyed it. The food tasted fresh and flavorful, and it didn't leave you feeling sluggish at all, just satisfying. Service was friendly and quick, and the spot had a casual, welcoming vibe. Prices were fair for the quality you get. Solid 4/5 stars, definitely a good go-to for a fresh, tasty meal in Pleasanton.

    We were familiar with The Kebab Shop from Fremont. But it has been a long time since we have eaten at one. You order one meat option and it comes with two sides and half portion of pita bread. We got a bunch of different ones to share and try. Portion sizes are pretty good. This is what we ordered: Lamb and beef Shawarma - this one is quite tasty. It's your classic thin sliced meat off the rotating skewer that made Kebab Shop famous. Can't go wrong with it! Saffron rice - this rice side was well done. Texture was nice with a good hint of saffron and basmati flavors. Goes well with everything. Grilled veggies - small pieces of zucchini and squash. Not a lot of flavor and kinda soggy. But it's nice to have a healthy side option. Grilled Moroccan shrimp skewers - pretty good fresh shrimp with a nice crunch. DH said it was a little too spicy. It had a sweet chili marinade with a good amount of smokiness. Really delicious with the garlic yogurt sauce. Grilled chicken - lots of flavor on this one with the marinade and the char, however, these are white meat chunks, so it did end up a little dry. Probably okay if you eat it fresh. I liked it with the cilantro sauce. Tabbouleh was very tasty. Lots of nice bright lemon flavors and the texture was pretty good. Not too soggy and not too dry. It has less parsley than what I am used to, but I would definitely get this one again. Falafel were nice and crispy. Middle was moist. They did a good job with these! Fries were crispy and tasted fine. They're regular fries, but not special. Side of hummus comes with some pita bread. Their hummus is very thick. Flavor profile is right in the middle. I might jazz it up by adding a bit of fancy EVOO. Goes really well with their thick pita bread. My favorite sauce was the garlic yogurt sauce. This one is tangy, creamy, and not that spicy with just a little hint of garlic. My least favorite sauce was the dill yogurt sauce. This one was incredibly sweet and I did not think it needed to be. I also liked the spicy cilantro sauce. DH likes to use cilantro jalapeño sauce with the chicken. He likes garlic yogurt and fire chili sauce mixed together for the shawarma. DH ordered online and said it was ready one minute before the expected pick up time. They will text you when your order is ready. The employee was nice and the shop was clean. we would definitely try this place again.

    Even For being a chain, the food was absolutely excellent! I was staying in a motel in Livermore, and fortunately their Pleasanton store delivered via DoorDash. I decided to go with the grains bowl. Grilled chicken tenderloin, saffron rice, greens, cucumber, tomato, their OG yogurt sauce, with feta cheese and pita crumbles on top. I also had a pita on the side. The bowl also came with I believe it was a tzatziki and another container of their OG sauce on the side. They were wonderful. Some of that I put extra on the bowl, some of it I used to dip the pita. They also gave me. A cup of their jalapeño cilantro hummus. It tasted good, but it had too much of a "kick" for me. It's absolutely fine, there was more than enough of the other sauces. The food was amazing. A large portion, the chicken was tender and grilled to perfection. It Had just a little bit of a char on it that added to the flavor. The saffron rice was tender and had a wonderful, savory flavor, and the veggies, feta, pita chips, and the sauce, just played very well together. The extra pita was tender and delicious. For dessert, I had a "killer brownie". It was a half brownie and half Blondie, and It had chocolate chips and M&Ms on top The brownie was wonderfully rich, and the Blondie kept it from being too rich. It was a bit soft in the middle for my personal taste, but I know that everybody is different. I still liked it a lot. Even with the DoorDash fees, the price was reasonable. I want to try more things from here. Thank you.

We really enjoy Main St. in Pleasanton and hadn't tried Elia yet so we decided to make a reservation and come here on a Monday evening. This restaurant is gorgeous! It's very charming yet fancy at the same time. When we arrived, we were seated immediately. To be fair, it was a slow Monday and there was plenty of seating. We opted to sit outside due to the nice weather. They brought us waters and bread to get started which I appreciated. For drinks, my wife went with the Cab and I chose an old fashioned. Both came out promptly. For appetizer's, keep in mind they're not very large portions and can take a bit to come out. I suggest 1 appetizer will be enough for two people. Order more than you think you need if you're hungry or it's a larger party. Since it was later in the day, we both chose salads for our entrees. They were delicious! You can tell the ingredients are fresh and of high quality. Our server and service was great- we were checked up on just enough but not too much. Our server was soft spoken, friendly and efficient. I always enjoy working with a server who is professional, courteous and not overly invasive. Not only do I plan on coming back, I'm going to be telling all my friends and family about Elia.

Popped out of the shell display and sliced it up for a wonderful dinner with coworkers. Colors reminiscent of Greek isles, with the blues and white, plus owls and eye painted decor. It felt casual but professional. Quieter on a Wednesday, but a nice stop for that Mediterranean fix with a bit of class. Enjoy.

It was delicious! Would order again. We started off with appetizers. We ordered the Kofte which were Turkish meatballs with tomato sauce. The meatballs were flavorful and juicy. The sauce had a slight kick to it which I enjoyed. I would just request they add more sauce next time. We also had the Greek dip trio which was hummus, tzatziki and babaganoush with pita bread. The platter was generous and I really loved that each dip was distinct from one another. We had plenty leftover so we requested it to go along with extra pita bread! As an entree I ordered the Talas dish. I wasn't sure what to expect but when the dish arrived I was surprised. It was a flaky pastry with a chicken/vegetable stuffing on a curry sauce topped with raisins and apple slices. This was a different yet intriguing combination. At first bite into the pastry, I felt the filling was salty but once you combine it with the curry sauce and apple all the flavors are brought out together. The curry was mild so the combination of it with the salty filling along with the slight sweetness of the apple and raisins all balanced each other out. I'm glad I tried something different and out of my comfort zone! I really enjoyed the dish and the variety of flavors it brought out. We came in on a Friday evening and although they were busy, the waitress and staff were all polite and attentive . It was pleasant to feel welcomed and they were all sweet. I look forward to coming back!

I didn't get his name but he mentioned he was Ukrainian. I didn't typically go for middle eastern food. It can be bland. I thought the reviews were decent so I thought it was okay to try. Boy do I regret it. For this being similar to a chipotle the prices are OUTRAGEOUS. I could have gotten a pasta dish at an expensive restaurant for just a few more dollars. I got the 50/50 bowl with falafel and chicken. Couscous as my base, light greens, Tabbouleh, cucumber dill salad, cabbage, eggplant, tzatziki sauce, hummus and pickles. It was extra for Feta and olives which I opted out of. It was $18.86. The falafel was good. It has a strong citrus and cilantro flavor which paired well with the tzatziki sauce. The eggplant, the cabbage, the Tabbouleh, the cucumber salad all desperately needed flavor. Everything was so bland. A pinch of salt and lemon would have made the world of difference. I just couldn't taste anything besides plain bland vegetables and garlic. The falafel paired well with these components but bc it was a 50/50 bowl I only received 3. The chicken was terrible. No flavor at all. The issue is that bc I didn't opt for the ridiculously expensive add ons, which would have made this a $22 meal, the meal was BLAND. The chicken DESPERATELY needs the salty olives and feta. However for fast food that comes in a bowl I just could not justify paying extra for something and it's even more appalling that the dish NEEDS the add-ons. I'm from out of town (Tucson, AZ). I understand that the influence of local culture is going to impact ethnic cuisine. Maybe people in this area don't like seasonings or spice or salt. Either way, this was a terrible waste of $18. If you're someone who likes balanced nuanced flavors, this is not the place to go. If you know you like this kind of food, I'm still not sure this is the place to go.
