Lately, we've been driving all the way out here to get our car washed and then order the classic chicken rice plates while we wait. Everything is just so consistently delicious from the sauce it comes with to their perfectly cooked chicken, to the flavorful broth and that addictive rice. Their cucumbers and herbs can be a little fresher, that's my only comment but still... 5 stars! Great portions too and nice staff! I'm obsessed with this place and I haven't even tried their other items yet. I hope they open more locations soon.

The lamb gyro came in third. It was better than the garlic chicken and chicken shawarma. It wasn't because they weren't good but the flavors from the sauce and onions were so much better. The Greek salad was a salad and same with the couscous salad. Service was nice. One cashier, she cleaned tables, brought water, extra plates, and did a great job. There were bench seats, chairs, and high stools and tables. The place was very well air conditioned and that makes a difference.

We got our favorite Afghan dishes: Chicken kabobs with extra chicken (charbroiled chicken with brown rice and crispy salads), Bolani (with chives and mashed potatoes), our most loved mantoos (ground beef with tomatoes/yogurt sauce), our favorite rice dish Qabuli (basmati rice with lamb, topped with sweet carrots and raisins), and hummus (the best creamy chickpeas). We always enjoyed our food from Chopan. The only criticism is that the order took longer than they told us (20 minutes longer.) but the food was well worth it.

Came on a Saturday during lunch and it was really slow inside. Definitely a mom and pop shop. We decided to eat there for freshness but it was really hot inside and it felt like the AC wasn't really working. Food we ordered was great though! Really good portion and filling. Got the lamb shank and the combo kebab plate. The chutney and Greek yogurt sauce were really good on top. I liked how they gave salad as well. It was well balanced, definitely going to come back and try other items. My friend and I were just talking and catching up but the employee didn't pay too much attention to us.

The gal working the counter was friendly. The prices were very reasonable. I ordered the lamb and chicken kebab plate. My husband ordered the chicken shawarma. All of the meat was tender. Make sure to ask for a side of Tzatziki sauce on the side! I do wish the entrees came with a little but more veggies though. We originally ordered the eggplant, but they ran out so we ordered the okra instead. It came with a side of bread to eat it with. It had good flavor but I don't know if I loved it enough to order it again. We waited about 35 minutes for our food. Give this nice family owned restaurant a try if you haven't!

This is a deli and kitchen hidden in a grocery store in an unassuming strip mall in East Elk Grove. They have some of the best Levantine take-away plates in the area. There is no seating at all. The cashier is super friendly and greets you like an old friend. The beef and lamb shawarmas are delicious. Both were seasoned perfectly and was cooked just right, not too tough or over cooked. The falafel was crispy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside. Great textures. The hummus and Greek salads as sides were fine. The falafel also comes with some pita slices. The fries here are also great! Twice fried with great seasoning. Also great reheated in the air fryer.

Everything looked fresh, clean, and well organized. They also serve hot food, burgers, wraps, and a variety of ready-to-eat options. And their fries are the best! They have their own recipe and different from anywhere else especially paired with their whipped house-made mayo garlic sauce. Come and tried their fries, you won't regret it! The workers are all friendly, and I believe I spoke with the owner, who was welcoming and took the time to chat with customers. Will be returning because my favorite are the FRIES!!!

My man and I stopped in on a late night while out of town. We were looking for Philly cheese steaks…read moreso hopped on yelp for help. We walked in and the place was a decent size and was very very clean. The bathroom was spotless, and there wasn't even a water steak on the tables they were so well maintained 4.8/5 The staff was incredibly friendly and the service was very quick. We had a few questions about the menu and the lady at the register was patient with us and thorough so we knew exactly what we were getting 4.5/5 Now for the food... we ordered twisted fries, a large drink, the classic Philly and a chicken hoagie. The phillys were delicious, but tasted like any other really great Philly, but these ones stand out a bit more because the bread on these babies is phenomenal 4.6/5. The fries were standard but well fried 3.5/5. The soda fountain offered flavors so we added vanilla to our shared dr. Pepper but it did nothing but make it taste more sugar and less vanilla 2.5/5. Now we HAVE to talk about the price... because, you maaaaay just have to clear out your savings account if you want a 15 inch... which is $31!!! The 7" was $16 and that's pretty pricey for a Philly! Pricing does bring this place down a bit for me... 2.5/5. Overall, I rate this establishment a 4/5

Whoever made my cheesesteaks deserves a raise. Whoever set the prices deserves a drug test…read more I ordered a traditional Philly cheesesteak with a side of Aujus sauce, a chicken cheesesteak, fries, and a Dr Pepper, and I honestly couldn't find a single thing to complain about with the food. The bread was phenomenal, the meat was seasoned perfectly, the chicken cheesesteak was just as good as the traditional, and the fries disappeared so fast I started wondering if someone else was eating them. The restaurant itself was spotless, clean, and had a welcoming atmosphere that made you feel comfortable as soon as you walked in. I also had my APBT (American Pit Bull Terrier) service dog with me, and the staff was nothing but professional and respectful. Nobody made rude comments or treated us differently, which I genuinely appreciated. Then the bill showed up and I had to make sure I hadn't accidentally financed the building. For a minute I thought maybe the sandwiches came with stock options or a monthly mortgage payment. I half expected the cashier to hand me a title deed and say, "Congratulations, you're now a minority owner." All jokes aside, the food was outstanding--damn near perfect. The only thing keeping this place from being absolutely flawless is the price. If your wallet can survive the experience, your taste buds are going to have one hell of a day. Mind you we were givin a 20% discount and that was nice

The service and ambiance are the standouts of Rumi's oasis, an Afghani-inspired cafe and bakery…read more The employee (Malalai) was super helpful and very friendly! I was most impressed by the interior design and atmosphere. It seems like they are updating some parts of the cafe right now but there are a lot of very nice tables with super cute decor and even a conversation pit in the corner! For food, I tried the Sultani Combo, which came with one lamb and one chicken kabob over basmati rice with some salad, pickled cabbage, and two naan on the side for $27. I liked the flavor of everything but I felt the chicken kabob and naan were a bit dry at times, so I asked for some more tzatziki sauce on the side, which they happily provided. Overall, I felt that it was somewhat pricey, but maybe that is the cost of the lamb and upkeep of the large interior. We also tried the afghani burger which had some special type of sausage (sorry can't remember), deviled egg halves, cucumber, tzatziki, and fries wrapped in a pita for $16. My sister enjoyed this dish although if we had to say something, we could have done with maybe a few more sausage pieces in it. I tried the Sip of Herat (pistachio-flavored) latte for $7 which was pretty good, the coffee flavor was strong and I did not taste the pistachio very much. We also tried the Gul-e-kabul (rose-flavored) latte for $7, both were a good coffee flavor so I would recommend this place if you are a coffee enjoyer. Overall, I would totally recommend this place as a hangout/study spot, I would like to come back to try some of the bakery items and some of the other drinks such as the mocktails.

Food was out in a time manner and was cooked to order, so food was still hot when were got home! Unfortunately my order of fries were a little soggy being in a container box on the drive home, but easily fixed with a little oil in a pan to re-crisp the fries to my liking. Food portions are generous and can easily feed two people. We look forward to our next meal here! Sorry no food pics, I accidentally deleted them
