"Quick and friendly service immediately upon entering. The lamb kabob plate was excellent! Very succulent and flavorful cubes of lamb along with rice, salad, hummus, tzatziki sauce and warm pita bread. I love that it came with grilled red onions and tomatoes. It's a great value for $17. I was thoroughly satisfied and will definitely return."

"standing ovation. A HUGE appreciation for the customer service of Jacob and Carlos. Through and through they treated every customer they interacted with the same; friendly, approachable, attentive. My first time in and I sat back and watched them assist a line of customers quickly. And note, they are consistent at changing their gloves for every meal they prepare. I was confident that my meal was not cross contaminated with meat. Order falafel on wheat pita. The portions were huge! The sauces were so good. Highly recommend."

"Joe K and I consider ourselves International food aficionados. We were planning and preparing for friends to visit his family who are Greek descendants, so we decided to try this restaurant out and sample the cuisine for a future order of larger portions. The facility is located front and center of the 99 Ranch Market. When we entered, it seemed that the owner was the only one working. But he handled our orders quickly and efficiently even while more customers started trickling in. He definitely had control and knew how to run the restaurant. Right off the bat, I noticed their sign recommending the Falafel Sandwich that states it is "organic, healthy, and vegan". It definitely sounded appetizing for a vegetarian like myself. Joe ordered a Lamb Shawarma in a pita bread. He also added a side of Dolma: vegetarian stuffed grape leaves that comes with a dipping sauce, and Baba Ghnouge. When I checked in on Yelp, we also got a free slice of Baklava! We took our food to go and couldn't wait to dig in! My Falafel Sandwich was everything I had hoped for - delicious and flavorful. It was quite large and I could barely finish it. Joe also enjoyed every bite of his Pita and the additional sides. We agreed that we would be coming back here again!"

Urban Grill & Salad

"A filling, healthy, and affordable meal! Stopped in today during lunch break and got the Mashtee wrap (beef, chicken, fries, green, tomatoes, pickles, banana peppers, parsley, onions, special sauce) for $15.99 and I think it's well worth it! The wrap was large and hearty--I couldn't finish all of it, so now I have two meals! The acidity of the pickles and banana peppers added a good flavor balance to the two meats. The chicken was a bit dry but the beef was perfect. Nothing a little sauce won't fix!Service is cafeteria line style and very quick. Also, I think the man who's the owner? Super friendly and told us to ask for more sauce if we need it. Would def come back again"

"Simply amazing is how I would describe the food and service. It doesn't look like much decor wise- very simple in fact. Don't let appearance prevent you from having a great meal and attentive service. A friend brought me here after a day of wine tasting and Scottish music. The Garlic chicken with the Garlic mayo is phenomenal. A must try. Everything we tried was yummy and fresh. Do your taste buds a favor and try it out. I will see you there."

"I felt like I am back in Israel with the restaurant decor and the delicious food! The complimentary bread is served warm and goes perfect with the olive oil and za'atar. I had the shawarma mix platter and the kanafeh with ice cream to share. The food is very flavorful and well seasoned. I love the white sauce that comes with the plate. The kanafeh is made to order so it came out warm and crispy. You got to order it with ice cream! Definitely recommend saving room for dessert if you dine here!The waitresses were all very nice and accommodating."

Eat A Pita

★★★★☆ 4.1 (506) • $$

"This is my husband's go to spot whenever he goes into the office. He always raves about their gyro salad, so I had to try for myself. Upon ordering, service was super quick! If you're in a pickle of time and want something delicious and hearty--this place is the way to go. We ordered their salad! Initial thought of their salad was that it was huge! I really thought I wouldn't be able to finish it, but I did. It was that good. The blend of flavors really meshes well, and it doesn't leave you feeling to bleh at the end. A right amount of everything. The tzatziki sauce was a great touch to the vinaigrette dressing. A little on the pricier side, but still think it's worth it."

Ariana Gyros & Kabobs

★★★★☆ 3.7 (620) • $$

"I got a beef/lamb gyro bowl and it was delicious!! My boyfriend recommended this place to me and I was a little skeptical at first because I read some of their reviews beforehand, but I am so glad I still gave it a try. Not sure why this place has a few low reviews for their service and food. Their customer service was great to me because an employee welcomed us in loudly and clearly. The food was fresh and came out fast. I like how they have small descriptions for items on their menu because it is nice to know what it comes with. The gyro bowl was filling and satisfying, just like how they described it. They gave a lot of perfectly cooked meat and rice. I tried a bite of the chicken gyro bowl and the meat was a little dry because they use chicken breast, but it was still good and had enough flavor. Their tzatziki sauce and mint sauce really brings the whole dish together. I want to learn how to make it!The inside of the restaurant has dim lighting, dark walls, and a white floor, which gives it a modern and classy ambiance. They also have some cool lights hanging down from the ceiling. This is a great place to eat at for Mediterranean and Halal food!"

"Came here for the first time last week for lunch. It's in a non-de script strip mall near the WalMart but inside it is so nice and sparkling clean! They have an extensive menu with lots of veggie, vegan and Gluten free options. I got the fattoush salad with chicken and my friend got the falafel plate. I thought it looked kind of pricey until I saw the portions. So big! We both took home leftovers. The dressing on my salad was so delicious and my friend loved the falafel and hummus. Order at the counter and they bring it to you. The guy who took our order was really nice and answered all my friend's questions about ingredients and preparation, and gave her extra veggies instead of pita.Great place and i would definitely recommend it."

Shah's Halal Food - University Mall

★★★★☆ 4.3 (377) • $$

"I finished shopping at Trader Joe's and pumping gas at Arco near by. I was trying to decide what I was going to eat for lunch. Shah's Halal Food truck was a few yards away and caught my eye! Score!!!I walked up and was kindly greeted by the man at the counter. I ordered the lamb over rice. My food was handed to me in a paper bag at the side window, not too long after I paid. There was no more than a 2 minute wait. Once I grabbed my food, the man asked me what drink I wanted. Options were canned Pepsi or diet Pepsi, or water. Pepsi it is! I was excited smelling my delicious food through the bag. The lamb was calling my taste buds! Once I got back into my car, I took a few bites before I pulled out of the parking lot. Delicious!!! The rice was well cooked and flavorful, not sticky nor overcooked. The lamb was well seasoned and cut into into cubed, bite size pieces over the rice and lettuce. The sauce gave it a nice savory and spicy (I was asked if I want my food spicy when I ordered at the window) taste to it. I couldn't put my spork down!I definitely will order from Shah's again the next time I am in Davis. Thanks for lunch :)"

Petra Greek

★★★★☆ 4 (382) • $$

"Palladio shopping center is capital B, Busy, during December, the holidays. I confess, I was there shopping for some last minute holiday gifts. After my shopping, I was feeling a bit peckish and wanted to grab takeout to bring home. I landed on Petra Greek. It is counter service with a varied Mediterranean menu options from appetizer, gyros, plates, and dessert options AND burgers and fries AND beers (draft and bottled). I was not sure what was beeftekia, I asked the cashier and she nicely explained. It is baked minced ground beef patty with Mediterranean seasonings. I was intrigued, so I ordered the beeftekia plate. It came with two patties, rice pilaf, Greek salad, tzakziki, and pita. The beeftekia patty had a light airy texture and packed with lots of bold Mediterranean flavors/seasinings. The salad was fresh tasting. The tzakziki was a thick consistency with bright flavors and served cold, it was delicious. I am lactose intolerant and can digest lactose if I take a lactase enzyme (pill). There are not alot of dairy food items that I choose to take a pill to enjoy. But their tzakziki is one of them. The dining room is clean, modern, and comfortable with a couple of TV screens tuned to sports channels. They also have an outdoor patio but it is not heated."

Mr Greek Donair & Kebab

★★★★☆ 4.3 (287) • $$

"Big portions and savory flavor were presented to us at Mr Greek Donair & Kebab. Some of the best lamb my mom had ever eaten. Lamb shank in general is supposed to tender when slow braised and theirs was exceptional. She particularly enjoyed the flavor of the tomato saffron sauce as it wasn't salty and they served a lot of it. For myself I ordered the giant chicken donair. It was heavy, juicy and messy but I finished it all despite its massive size. We also got three crispy potato samosas. There was variety of sauce cups that came with our meal and my favorite was their spiciest one. Tucked into the Delta Shores shopping center, this establishment was clean, with enough seating and a large counter where you can see the food being made. They were a bit busy when we came on a rainy Saturday around lunch time. I noticed there were a lot of to go orders from delivery apps. Staff were very nice and politely answered our questions. They did not take too long in making our food. Rest room was fairly tidy. We will return to try their kebabs, salads and falafels."

Yummy Kabob

★★★★★ 4.7 (222) • $$

"This hidden gem is awesome for us. It may not be in the best looking area but the Mediterranean food is great & that's an understatement. My favorite is the chicken thigh kebab that comes with basmati rice, a small side Greek salad & pita bread. Wifey loves the grilled salmon plate here AND lamb chopkebab plate. Both are very satisfying & not a long wait when they cook it fresh here for you. The grilled salmon comes with baked potato instead of rice which wifey likes better. She does like the way they cook the lamb chops! So flavorful & juicy she says! & she doesn't lie!!!We know their hours suck but I believe it's to cater to the people who work nearby. It's a very industrial section of town. Great for us when we are in this side of town which can be a couple times a month at least! Keep up the great tasting food! Yummy kebab we absolutely have to agree it's yummy!!! Got it? Yummy kebab??? LolBtw if you check in here don't forget as you can get a complimentary soda or bottled water. Hey why not? Every little bit helps when you can save money. Right? Yes! Woohoo!"

Crest Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (268) • $$

"A staple in the downtown Sacramento area the Crest is a must for lunch. The menu has been simplified but there are options for something light to a full buffet (which has come back since it was shut down for COVID). There is usually a line out the door but you can also order ahead online if you are in a rush. My favorites are the chicken shawarma wrap or the tacos. Both are filling and full of flavor that will leave you happy after lunch. During the warm weather the patio seating is available and makes for a relaxing lunch too. They also have the option of catering for events which works perfectly for any office party."

Vela Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (220) • $$

"If I can go to Vela Cafe, then I'm definitely looking forward to lunch. I'm an endearing fan of their Chicken Shish Kabab Pita. It takes several minutes to prepare, but its well worth your time. The chicken has always been moist, tender and flavorful.....as if everything is cooked only when ordered. If you've been on the hunt for an alternative to sandwiches, then this pita is your savior. And here's the bonus, the restaurant's dining area is kept very clean and depending on the day of the week you can dine in peace. That's worth the walk all by itself!"

Brickland

★★★★☆ 4.2 (221) • $$

"For Christmas, I task my sister for gifting me with a meal from restaurants I have yet to try. I am glad she chose this one, as I believe this is only the second Afghan restaurant I have dined at.I ordered the saffron chicken, which came with spinach rice and a pumpkin puree. The rice was seasoned perfectly, and both the chicken and rice mixed amazingly with the puree. I don't believe I left anything on the plate. I started with a basic Caesar salad, and although I had to ask for some extra dressing, once I received it, it was a good salad. The dressing was homemade. I finished with a mini cheesecake, which was complimented well with its berry sauce.My server was respectfully attentive, in that I got to relax with my food and my thoughts, but my soda was refilled without being asked.A little expensive for a weekly dining experience, but for a special occasion out with family or friends who want to taste something different, then I think you should try this place. Enjoy!"

The Kabob House

"I finally had the chance to visit this place after hearing many good things about it. It is located in a nondescript part of a strip mall, so it is very easy to miss. We came in around 6:15pm and there was one group of 4 ahead of us. We were promptly seated and the waiter took our order. The salads and bread that came with the dish were served immediately. We were so glad because the main dish came in 30 minutes later. The food was seasoned well but missing something. I tried sprinkling some salt and voila my dinner was perfect. They also have a very nice outdoor seating with grape vines! This is definitely a hidden gem."

"Wow, finally a go-to greek spot to locate. Coming from out of town I have been searching for a new Greek place to enjoy. This is it--easily. First off, the service is exceptional. Such a nice guy working the counter. Pleasant, funny, and can tell he cares about quality. I grabbed a couple things to try, gyro, habibi fries, and the crepe. We also got to try the garlic bread. Garlic bread is fantastic! It's full of flavor unlike most places that just offer a slight spread, this and everything else on the menu is well worth it's price fin quantity. The gyro meat was delicious and met with a heaping amount, with the pita filled out with tomatoes onions and lettuce. The tzatziki was so good I got an extra side cause I wanted more. To fill up every item I ordered.The fries were bomb, but because the gyro size I couldn't finish them, so nothing like snack to enjoy later in the day.All in all, 100% quality and quantity with great service."

MF Gyros & Burgers

★★★★☆ 4.4 (173) • $$

"They closed at 9pm and we showed up around 8:30ish. Upon arriving here there was a lot of weird people soliciting in the front. I don't think it's the establishment's fault because theres a liquor store next door but it was very suspicious that they were hanging out in front of the gyro place and not the liquor store. We walked in an tried to order. There was no one in the front to take our order. After waiting 5 minutes we rang the bell. He came out and said in a rude tone take out only. We said okay because it was close to closing. I believe they are severely under staffed because after we ordered the cashier went back to the kitchen and did not come back out for 10 minutes.Finally came back out and the food looked good. We ordered three philly cheese steaks and a lamb fries. The lamb was decent and marinated well but the fried were over cooked. Very crunchy. And the bread they used for the philly cheese steaks were like old dry bread. Every bite you would have to wash it down with a soda. We eventually used a fork to eat the meat and threw the bread away. "Philly dry steak""

"I have driven by this place a bunch of times and I finally decided to stop in for some grub. I showed up right around lunchtime and it was pretty busy. As I was looking at the menu and preparing to order, I could see inside the kitchen. They are cooking to order, and that's always such a great sign. With that in mind, I want to let peeps know that waiting is possible. That's generally what happens when they really cook!So I got the Gyro with lamb and beef, no onion, with fries. It was packed with deliciousness and the sauce was just the right addition to add that creaminess we all love so much. I really enjoyed the sandwich, and the fries, really good too. Seasoned fries, not those fake half baked stringy things.I will definitely e back for more, and as I write this, I want some hummus and pita. And a Med salad too, with extra feta."

"Date night with the wife. I've heard that this restaurant was recently renovated. Indeed it looks very nice, they even added valet parking.Our server, Victoria was so informative and patient since I couldn't make up my mind. I ended up ordering the almond-crusted halibut. It was cooked to perfection, flaky and tasteful. It came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. All of this topped by a creamy sauce to complete the dish. My wife ordered the prime rib which she enjoyed very much. The meat was tender, juicy and no gristle found. At the end of the meal, we had no room for dessert since we also had the clam chowder soup as an appetizer. Overall this is a great restaurant for a date night or a special occasion. Nice job on the remodel Papapavlo's !"
