Falafel Tazah San Carlos

Tazah means fresh, and they deliver exactly that! The fresh chicken kabob was perfectly seasoned: juicy, tender, and flavorful. It practically melted in my mouth! The portion size was generous, and you can tell everything is made to order, it took about 15 minutes to prep, which is a sure sign of freshness. The rice was perfectly cooked, fluffy, and had that delicious yellow Middle Eastern style that ties the whole meal together.If you're craving flavorful Mediterranean food that doesn't cut corners on quality, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

Loved the food but owner is very rude and condescending. I bought 2 shawarma bowls and asked for 4 sauces, but owner flat out refused in such a rude manner! I clarified that I bought 2 bowls and would like 2 sauces for each bowl. He again rudely said no! I would have been willing to pay for the extra sauces. So I just left. Rude. Leave the customer service to your employees who are nicer

Totally awesome Mediterranean food from San Carlos, Ca. I would recommend this place to all community residents also out of the community as well to come eat here at a substantially well priced menu.

The food was really good, the service was quick and friendly, and the place was clean and well organized.

Walked in with very limited seating indoors but very clean. It is our first time here and ordered the lamb/beef shawarma rice plate and chicken shawarma rice plate and both were really good. They had tons of the flavor was rice was super good. The salad was delicious and hummus tasted super good as well. I wish there were more roasted veggies instead of the raw onions and pickles. The staff was nice and took out ordered quickly and served the food quickly.

Falafel Tazah is a casual Middle Eastern grill offering a menu of casual fare packed in takeout boxes. The Vegetarian Combo was a nice sampler of their mezzes including creamy hummus, smokey baba ghanoush, two dolmas, two green falafels, tabbouleh, cucumber/tomato salad, sumac onions, and pickled red cabbage and cucumbers, all served with grilled Jerusalem bakery pita bread. While the dips were decent, the other components could have been better, as the falafels were soft and greasy, and the salads/pickles were overly acidic and sour. On the side came a few sauces including spicy red chili, tahini, and a spicy aioli, all of which were flavorful and enhanced the other components. Overall, while this wasn't the best Middle Eastern food I've had, the prices were fair and the service was friendly!

I stopped by Falafel Tazah after shopping at TJMaxx and I was so impressed! I cannot eat gluten or dairy, and when I ordered, I was going to order the Chicken Shawarma rice plate without yogurt sauce, and right after I asked for no sauce, the cashier (I think his name is Mohammed based on the name on my receipt) asked if I am allergic to dairy. He let me know that the marinade for the shawarma is yogurt, but that I could order kebab instead (the kebabs aren't marinaded in yogurt)! He also let me know that they have a tahini sauce and a hot sauce if I'd like to add those to my meal instead. I'm so glad he caught that and thought to ask! I also ordered a side of fries, and when I paid he let me know how long the wait would be. Both people I saw working were super friendly and welcoming. As he handed me my bag, he reiterated "all of the sauces I put in the bag are dairy free". There is plenty of parking since they share a parking lot with TJMaxx, Starbucks, Best Buy, Chipotle, Jamba Juice, etc. The inside of the restaurant is very clean with just a few small tables, so I'd recommend taking your food to go. You can see them make the food right in front of you as well, which I always like!The food was very delicious and fresh! Although I usually prefer thinner fries, they were well seasoned and very flavorful. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor, and went so well with the rice, cucumber salad, and hummus. They also give you pickles and onions, which really added to the dish.Overall, I had a great experience here and will definitely be back!

Stopped by for a quick weeknight dinner, and instead of the usual rice plate I would pick up from their Foster City location, my husband and I opted for Lamb/Beef Shawarma Wraps with a side of 6 Falafels to share.Everything was a 5/5 and was the perfect amount of food! The wrap was full of different flavors but all of them blended deliciously. As much as I enjoyed my wrap, I think the falafels were my favorite. Perfectly golden, moist, crunchy and flavorful. They were good on their own and with the sauce - probably my favorite falafels I've ever had (so far). Prices are reasonable and service was friendly and fast - I want to say that we waited for our food for about 5 minutes or less. I will definitely be back next time I need a falafel fix!

Not sure why this place is reviewed so highly, but I don't think it's because of the falafel wrap. The pita bread was super thin and dry, and the falafel was barely fried and not very flavorful. The veggies were good, but not much variety. I asked for spicy, and spicy it was! So that was good. Anyway, I've had much better falafel wraps.

The food is consistently very good here, and my takeout or dine in order are quick to ready, they keep the front door open most of the time so it can be chilly sometimes to sit at a table, but the place is very clean.
