    Been there several times and every time it was outstanding! The couple that runs is really nice and they remember you. They make you feel like you like you are friends! Food and service are top notch! The restaurant is inviting we never stay and eat there unfortunately we always it to go! This is definitely our go to pizza spot!

    Persian Pizza!

    I liked the Pizza and think its cool they have Persian-style options. The lady at the register was nice and the atmosphere was super casual with Persian music playing. Good place to try if youre in the area.

    E-Roni mixed pizza is a pizza close to the Iranian palate, with a creative and flavorful recipe.

    Second time here and still just as amazing! We came back to Wowmia Pizza for the second time and loved it as usual. The Persian-style pizza was packed with flavor -- crispy crust, generous toppings, and that nostalgic taste we've been craving. We also tried the Persian nachos this time and they were delicious -- super unique and full of bold flavors. Everything was fresh and satisfying. Definitely a must-try spot!

    I don't usually write reviews unless something really catches my eye, either in a very good way or a very bad way. And this place? It caught my eye in the best way possible. I went to pick up pizza from a small, family owned Persian pizza spot in San Jose. It's honestly in a pretty awkward and random location not the kind of place you'd expect to find something this good. But it was absolutely worth the drive. I wasn't even getting the pizza for myself I was surprising my mom. She hasn't had pizza in over 40 years, and she's never tried Persian-style pizza in her life. She left Iran before that was even a thing. I wanted her first experience to be something memorable. And it was. The shop is run by a sweet husband and wife team, and you can tell they really care about their food. They've got three Persian style pizzas on the menu (one is a new release), and I ordered two: one meat and one mortadella. The flavor was amazing. Even after a 20 minute drive, the taste held up perfectly. Hot or cold it was great both ways. My mom loved it. Like really loved it. That reaction alone made the whole thing worth it. The portions are generous one pizza could easily feed two or even three people. The crust, the toppings, the seasoning everything hit just right. It felt like a homemade meal with serious care behind it. This isn't some trendy or flashy spot, and it's not on a main street but it's one of those hidden gems you're glad you found. If you've never had Persian pizza, try it here first. And if you have, you'll instantly taste the difference. I'm already planning to go back for their new one with the special sauc

    E-Roni Pizza
    Ali M.

    ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!! One of the best nostalgic Erooni (Iranian/Persian) pizzas I have had in the entire US! Quality and tasty food, very friendly management and host, and clean and neat store with dine in option. We tried the E-Roni pizza but when I was there, a costumer was complimenting their other pizzas as well. Also, we tried the salad bar (it was around $8 for two people which is super reasonable especially for the bay area prices). We also got the wings, which was unbelievably soft and tender. They were smaller in size compared to the big name fried wing stores which I absolutely adore since it is usually an indicator of a more naturally and humanely raised chicken. All in all, we absolutely loved it and I would totally recommend it especially if you are craving some nostalgic Erooni pizza!

    I was addicted to the chicken. Wow Cick. Found the all meat with garlic sauce. Extra garlic that just me liking the garlic sweat. The sausage is amazing Favorite topping. Shared a slice with my neighbor. He said wow. The owners cook a great pizza.

    Great quality food, friendly owners and cute little place. Love the board games too! We always get the chicken mushroom and never disappoint!!

Jubba is serving up some of the best food i've ever had. As a newbie to somali food, I am now hooked. we came in on a friday around 6:15 and there was a steady group of people enjoying their food. we ordered at the counter and took a seat outside to enjoy the weather 1 Sambusa 1 chicken wrap 1 beef plate the sambusa arrived first and initially I thought Samosa in my head. But the sambusa has a better structure, holding its shape after multiple bites. the Dough is softer but still crispy. it came with beef , chilies and other vegetables. so so good. the perfect appetizer for us. it came with a spicy green sauce that seemed to be the common sauce for every dish then the stars of the show. The sizzling hot beef plate served with veggies, rice and a salad was unbelievable. add on a lemon and some more greens sauce and you're in for a treat. the rice alone was so flavorful and it tasted like there was meat drippings on top. the beef was so tender and fell apart in 1 bite. I was blown away with the dish the chicken wrap... man. I'm not sure what kind of bread, pita was used but it was fantastic. a huge wrap with lettuce, onion chicken, sauce and other veggies. It was so messy and hard to eat with your hands so we resorted to eating with a fork and knife. Unreal. Unreal. massive portions again which are a theme here. But holy smokes this was so good. The chicken has a nice char, but is also juicy and saucy. the spongy pita neutralizes the bombardment of flavor from the meat, and the veggies compliment everything with some crunch and texture. Service was great and very helpful. They were extremely friendly and a delight to talk with. We will be back 5/5

So, I've unfortunately been passing it over. I finally decided to try it out and I was in for a treat. I got the chicken kebab plate as the sandwich board right out side the door suggested, along with a side of fries to go. The fries were crispy with a ting of spice and delicious. But the star of the show was the kebab for sure. Meaty, plump, flavorful, definitely one of the outstanding chicken kebabs in town. Lot of places give you a dry, flaky kebabs but here, it's been cooked to the perfect amount of juiciness. The rice was also butterly and flavorful. Good pita, hummus and the vegetables too. It might feel a little pricey (but everything else is too nowadays), but they give you a nice filling portion. The staffs are very nice and attentive. Clean, fun, colorful interior. I'd love to dine in next time. I'm definitely coming back for more, I want to try the loaded fries wraps, and the kanafeh next time around. The location's and the parking access is not the best, so I really hope Manakish gets all the attraction and attentions it deserves!

I would not have known about this place if it wasn't for the reel. I'm also not familiar with Syrian and Lebanese cuisine. Thought I'd give it a shot. Not the biggest of venues, it a bit small on the inside, they have few benches and tables outside. Parking wasn't an issue, plenty of spaces in the parking lot. The staff was very helpful and informative. This is a fast casual spot with table service. They do bring the food to you, but you can help yourself to everything else afterwards, is: water, sauces, napkins etc. #SyrianEats: WRAP: ~ SHAWARMA: Damascus style CHICKEN - 5/5 Absolutely DELISH!! Love the garlic spread that came on the side. The wrap was already tasty enough, but somehow it was even tastier with the Garlic spread. Even the fries that came with it were spectacular! That drizzle pomegranate molasses... just DELISH!! This was one of the best wraps I had Stateside. Actually the best! PLATE: ~ MANSAF - 5/5 The Lamb shank was excellent as well! Tender fall of the bone with flavor galore, and the butter sauce was amazing as well...delish! The rice that came with the Lamb shank was OK. It was probably good, but the flavor profile didn't stand up to the rest of the food. I thought it could use more flavor, but that just me nitpicking... 4.5 ***** rounded up to 5***** for me This food here is amazing. I'll be back...

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!

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.
