Hostess helped us get seated in a desirable location and took good care of us.The Hummus with Chicken Shawarma was heavenly.Enjoyed pairing Lamb Kofta kebab with Freekeh. The staff took great attention to how well we wanted the meats prepared.From the outdoors, the place doesn't appear big. However, it was stunningly spacious inside with lots of rooms and different style seatings.

As a Palestinian myself, I had high expectations trying this Palestinian restaurant serving authentic cuisine.I was thoroughly impressed. The two dishes we got were Makloubeh & Mansaf, very traditional Palestinian dishes. They were both excellent. The chicken in the Makloubeh was super tender, as was the lamb in the Mansaf. Yogurt alongside both dishes were great.It's certainly on the pricey side in my opinion for this type of food, but I'd absolutely come again for a taste of home

I've been here twice now and the food and service and ambiance were excellent both times. I would definitely recommend it as a date night or celebratory dinner spot as it has a more upscale vibe but isn't obscenely expensive or overly stuffy and formal. f I remember correctly they used to be Michelin starred a few years ago so you're basically getting Michelin star quality food without the markup or the pretentiousness. Reservations are definitely recommended as they can get very busy but it's generally not too difficult to book one as long as it's at least a couple days in advance. Food standouts were definitely the hummus as an appetizer and the beef kebab with roasted vegetables and Brussels sprouts.

I came here with my family and I will be honest... we started with a mezze platter and then ploughed through 2 orders of Toum. By the time we were done that, we were too full to eat when our mains arrived. We were planning on just packing it up and eating it later at home, but decided to taste it first. It was a great bad decision. On the one hand, everything tasted so good that it did not disappoint. On the other... we definitely overate and could barely walk out of the restaurant. Loved everything here and I'll be back, but I've been dreaming of the toum so much that I've considered just buying a serving of that to eat throughout the week at home.

The pita bread is really good, and served as a great appetizer while looking at the menu. I got the kebab combo dish, which came with chicken and lamb. The portion sizes here are pretty generous, and after eating so much of the starter pita, I became full very quickly. I'm not sure what the white sauce that comes with the kebab is called, but it's delicious and goes well with the kebabs and pita.

Food 5/5.One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in the Bay Area!See pictures & comments below

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner -- we were welcomed with great friendly service and attentive care the whole night! They even let us bring a cake to store and cut after we finished our meal.Everything tastes great here -- I usually don't like lamb because it's too gamey for me, but their lamb here is so delicious and soft! My personal favorite was their dip appetizer though. The variety of dips for their pita bread was amaaaazzing. I always love coming here and this particular visit was no exception!

Dish Dash feels more like fast food, without anything particularly special about it. The food is just okay and doesn't stand out. The service and atmosphere is okay too.

Came here on Thursday at 4:55pm before the atmospheric rain bomb came through.Parked in the parking lot across Washington street with the AMC theater on the far opposite side. Additional parking garage one block away next to Target, and two blocks away at the parking garage behind AMC theater/Whole foods.Place was empty, so they gave us a prime window seat in the auxiliary room, far away from the cold breezy entrance. Great ambiance with window views of Christmas decorations on Murphy Street. Overhead lamps of Middle Eastern heritage. Six pieces of complimentary delicious heated white bread with dipping oil. Ate those in no time, but declined offer of more bread. We order at 5:10 pm and our dishes come at 5:30pmWife's $25.75 m'shakaleh comes with layers of sliced almonds, cooked mushroom, tomatoes, eggplant, cauliflower, tomato in an incredibly tasty sweet yogurt sauce.I ordered the $37.75 combo kebab with three kebabs in order of size: chicken the largest, lamb and kufta being the smallest . The largest of the kebabs was the 9" white breast chicken with almost no flavor, except for combining the spicy flavorful yogurt sauce from the M'shakaleh, which made an average dish outstanding. Loved the kufta which had minced lamb and beef with lots of onions, but only about 4' long The 7" lamb shank was OK, but hardly worth the $37.75, as on the bland side, until I mixed it with the yogurt sauce. Gave the medium rare center cuts to my wife. Given a choice, I would take beef kabobs next time. Dish came with fried brussel sprouts, but would have preferred cauliflower, tomato, and/or broccoli. We had our choice of basmati rice, freekeh, spiced potatoes, seasonal vegetables -we both choose freekeh, a wheat rice. Haven't been here since 2018. The m'shakaleh was $21 in 2018, and the combo kebab was $26 in 2018, now $37.75, up 50%! Cost us over $80 with tax and tip for two main entrees, one of which was vegetarian, without salad, appetizer, dessert, alcohol nor soft drinks. When we left at 6pm it was standing room only, with every seat in the two chamber restaurant taken. Only other packed restaurant on Murphy was Meyhouse Turkish restaurant across the street, with similar high prices, and even more ambiance.

Came back for a relaxing lunch. We had the Maza sampler for starters - super nice variety. I had the lamb salad, super big portion, with lots of flavor. I love the mansaf and it's super rich. The suneyet kofta was interesting. It was a baked dish with lamb, beef, herbs, peppers, potatoes, onions and tomatoes in the dish and came with rice. Do you pour it over the rice or add the rice to the dish? Your choice of course but we would try a different dish next time. We decided we would order the salad, the mansaf and one new dish and share it family style next time so we will definitely be back.Service was with a smile. Dessert was delish.
