Crest Cafe

Crest Cafe is a fan favorite among my coworkers so I finally got the chance to try it Thursday! I ordered the Pita and added lamb gyro and added onion, cucumber, and the garlic aioli and tzatziki on the side. When I opened it, I was very impressed by the size! The meat was delicious and very flavorful. For the price, very worth it! I do wish the gyro pieces were a little smaller to make it easier to eat in a wrap, but overall, very good and I'll be returning!

I came into this place for the first time during lunch. I had some catering at an event prior to coming here which included the falafel taco. I fell in love! It is a vegetarian dish, but so yummy! I also added the lunch buffet, which was more than enough for me, but I was not disappointed in the flavor at all. I had the veggie samosa and **kisses fingertips** perfectly hot and goes well with the green sauce in the photo. The butter chicken ,or whatever that was , had so much flavor and I loved it all! I would most definitely come back. I over ordered, because I thought I was ordering one taco, but it is really 3 per order. I don't know how to read yikes! The service is quick, and the location is pretty neat also. It is on k st. so plan your parking accordingly as the roads are sometimes closed off during events or at night!

I had the chicken shawarma tacos and the Mediterranean bowl without veggies. They are so filling on their own. Both so delicious.

This is my favorite place to go for lunch on a work day. They have very limited hours so I'm lucky I work nearby but they do have a location (with more hours I believe) in Elk Grove too. My favorite thing to eat here is the chicken shawarma tacos but all of the wraps and other tacos are delicious as well. I highly recommend trying this place if you are able to and getting chicken shawarma in some form. This place is kept clean and nice inside but it can get pretty crowded during lunch.

I wasn't very impressed. Food was only ok and spendy. The restaurant was clean and service was totally fine, but I found it to be very mediocre.

I was working around the corner and needed to place an order online and do a quick pick up and this place was perfect! I was able to order for an 11:15 am pick up (they open at 11) and their online ordering was easy to use. I received a text and email when it was ready and they included utensils and napkins. They also had the sauces on the side and plenty of them! Only thing is I wish the sauces were labeled as we didn't know what they were (and if they had dairy). I ordered the falafel wrap and not only was it delicious and fresh, but also portable as I ate it on my drive back. Everyone in my group found something they enjoyed in the menu including wraps, gyro, rice plates, and salad.

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.

This is the highlight of having jury duty. I alternate between the awesome Mediterranean Nachos and the gyro. Today I went with the lamb gyro in a traditional pita. The meat was seasoned perfectly and there was plenty of it. I really enjoyed how tender it was. One thing I thought was really cool was that the lettuce and tomato was under the meat. This had the effect of keeping the produce in place and not falling all over the place. Truly a little thing, it shows they care. They had nice little tables outside. Great day to be outside and soak in the sun. The indoor area was nice and clean. Not too noisy either. I got dismissed from jury duty so it will be another few years before I get to go back. I don't usually go to downtown.

Love their garlic chicken and the spicy sauce. Good portions for a decent price. The lunch includes a generous portion of rice and a salad with dressing and a pita.

Honestly the food was so delicious. We had the chicken tacos and the nachos as well. The nachos were amazing. I think I'll be dreaming of those crispy pita chips forever. So glad we stopped here while in town!
