    Combo Platter (front), GYRO PLATTER(back)
    Mai S.

    Food is 3 stars but taking off one star as they didn't give us pitas. I usually go to dish n dash near by so wanted to see if this place is as good as the reviews say but wasn't up to 4.5 stars. we got combo platter(chicken & gryro) & gyro platter for takeout. Ordering was easy with kiosk and food was ready after 10 mins. We confirmed we have sauce, napkins and utensil and drove back home. But when we opened the box, we realized they didn't give us any pitas.. food was just enough to fill me up (80% without pitas) but meat was too salty. The sauce they gave us was yum yum sauce which only makes it more salty.. I thought they usually give spicy chillies& yogurt sauce? Mango lassi tasted good but a bit small portion. The person who brought us food was nice so overall I would give 3.5 stars but taking off 1 as they forgot to give us pitas for both of our meals.

    Chicken Platter: hummus, special sauce, chicken, rice and salad and pita in next picture.  I ate a couple of bites but perfect quantity

    I just picked up food from here Friday, around 5:30 pm. It wasn't busy, but I saw food reviews on yelp and stopped for Starbucks and noticed this place. I have to say it's one of the BEST! I got the chicken platter and it's literally so delicious that I had to write a review immediately. I'm so happy I stopped and tried this and will definitely be back. Great ambiance, the staff is friendly and the food is amazing.

    I ordered the Chicken Platter. It had hummus, pita, chicken, and some salad. I chose to get it mildly spicy. It was spicy for me. I'm not good with spice so I recommend non-spice lovers to get spicy. I enjoyed it. The chicken was marinated well and not too salty and sweet. The hummus tasted great with the pita. The salad helped to balance out the meal. My meal came out quickly. There's a lot of parking outside. I came in on a Sunday afternoon. My friend and I were the only ones there. Definitely a great place to meet friends, family, or go on a date!

    My friend and I shared their the flame platter, which is a combination of the gyro, chicken, and falafel on top of rice with pita and hummus. We also ordered a side of fries. Once ordering, there is quite a bit of a wait, so I wouldn't come here if you're in a big rush. Lunch on the weekdays seem to be pretty filled but clear out around 1 PM. The gyro, falafel, pita and hummus were definitely standouts for me. The falafel has a thinner, crisp exterior, which I actually prefer because I feel like you can actually taste the falafel. I think they butter their pitas too, which makes it have better flavor. On the other hand, I did feel like the chicken was pretty dry, the rice was a little under seasoned (works when you bite everything but tastes a little bland on its own), and the fries could use a couple more minutes in the fryer. Overall, pretty solid place. I can see why people would come here during lunch. I'd probably just get the gyro lunch platter with a side of falafel next time but am glad I got to try a bunch of things

    Chicken Platter

    I heavily recommend the chicken platter, its my go to every time! My only complaint is that I wish they still included tzatziki sauce .

    Chicken Wrap

    Our 19th hole was here after a round of golf at nearby Sunnyvale Golf Course. The eight of us sat outdoors at one of two picnic tables. Ordering process - either with the cashier at the counter or at the self kiosk. If you order at the counter you're given a number. Later our order was brought to us. Hubby and I took an quick look at one of several laminated menus on the counter. He went with the grilled chicken salad and I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap. The orders were very similar. Hubby's was minus the wrap but same ingredients. Both were tasty and very generous. My wrap was very messy to eat as the yogurt dressing kept running down my fingers. Located in a strip mall. Ample parking. Tip; check in on Yelp for a piece of baklava.

    Combo platter (they have togo boxes on the side if you can't finish it!)

    It's a very unassuming restaurant. I thought I was in the wrong place at first because I was confused by the vibe of the place. Without reading the reviews, I would've thought it was an overpriced, fast-food type of place. You order by yourself via the kiosk (no one was at the cashier counter when we arrived). Then, choose your own table and sit down. Since we were quoted a 15 min-ish wait, my bf and I decided to make a quick run to Lucky's first. When we came back, we just chose a random table to sit down. The lady working there took notice and brought us our plates & utensils. Everything else is pretty much self-serve. I love that they have to-go boxes on the side. It made it easy for me to do portion control (by reminding me that I can just take leftover home). I thought that the entrees were a bit pricey though (~$18). The portion and quality of the entrees were not bad, but I've had better shawarma platters.

    We were looking for good gyros nearby and my daughter found this place. We got there super early to pick up dinner and was greeted promptly as we entered. They have a kiosk in the front, which made the ordering quite easy. We were able to order and leave to pick up some other items in the same complex since they would text us when our order was ready. We ordered: - Falafel Wrap - Gyro Wrap - free baklava with yelp check in The owner was super friendly when we picked up the food to go. Both wraps were filled to the brim and very saucy which we love. Flavors were spot on as well. The baklava tasted great as well. More honey than what we normally have. That made it taste better. We will definitely be back.

    Falafel flame is in my top 3 go-to restaurants for dinner on a weekday. The food is so delicious and consistent every time. It's decent if you get it delivered, but nothing beats eating it there, hot and fresh! I have tried both the burgers and the plates, can't go wrong with either. For the burger I'd recommend the Texan burger that has BBQ sauce because the sauce is very well done, it has the right tang and flavor for BBQ sauce and the meat is cooked very well. I love the grilled onion and pepper mixture they put in it as well, complements the bbq sauce perfectly. If you get fries on the side the best part is you can dip them in the bbq sauce drippings from the burger, now that's a pro tip! I'd also highly recommend the chicken plate. Everything on the plate is well thought out and delicious. The salad has a nice light honey mustard dressing, the basmati rice is seasoned and cooked to perfection, the pita it comes with is warm and every so slightly crisp and the chicken is beautifully cooked and drizzled with a special white garlic sauce. They also give you a hot sauce and yogurt sauce on the side which is great to dip each bite in (if they don't give you these sauces make sure to ask for them on the side!) Service: I always get helped right away and they are very accommodating with requests like extra sauce and sometimes I even order ahead for dine in! Like I basically call in saying I'll be there in 15 mins and I want to eat there and then when I get there the food is ready and served asap :) Pricing is average, you're going to spend about $20-$25 for a solid meal here and they don't skimp so it's worth it. Ingredients are also a cut above so that's nice. As for ambiance, it's not the prettiest spot, but the seating is comfortable and they always have a table available. They could benefit from a proper central air heating/cooling system and the floors should probably be changed at some point, but they do decent job keeping the place generally clean though. This one is an easy 5/5 when it comes to the food!

    Based on the dishes we tried, I don't think I'd recommend this place. My friends and I shared the…read moredahi batata puri, chinese bhel, and ragda pattice. The best of the bunch was the dahi batata puri, but it still didn't quite hit the spot. It was definitely on the sweeter side and I felt like the dahi/yogurt wasn't as creamy as I prefer. The chinese bhel was okay, but didn't have much flavor. Lastly the ragda pattice had so much potential. The flavor was there, but it was insanely spicy- even as someone with a med/high spice tolerance. You could feel the burn traveling down to your stomach. All of us found it unbearable and worse of all felt the affects for a day after. Perhaps we ordered the wrong dishes but after the all the discomfort of the meal- I don't feel inclined to return.

    I'm not one to write negative reviews often, but this experience at Maya Kitchen Food Truck in…read moreSunnyvale-Cupertino Border warrants it. Yesterday, I ordered a Vada Pav, Shalimar Egg Mughlai (on their recommendation from their list of egg dishes), and a Veg Frankie -- and honestly, none of it lived up to the hype(5 stars currently) or price point. Vada Pav: It was okay. The "mirchi" served alongside was literally a raw Thai green chili. Really? At least pan-fry it with some salt and oil to enhance the flavor. For over $10 with taxes, this was already pricier than better Vada Pavs you can get at places like Elco Drive, and yet it offered nothing exceptional. Frankie: This one made me genuinely angry. It was a soggy maida roll stuffed with the same aloo masala from the Vada Pav, plus a few sad shreds of cabbage. That's it. And they had the audacity to charge $12 for it. ($1.50 for cheese, lol I am glad we didn't add)This isn't a Frankie -- it's a lazy repackaged Vada Pav with no flavor or creativity. They threw in some pickled jalapeños on the side, which only added confusion. If you're running a fusion menu(well partially), at least mention it upfront instead of misleading customers. Egg Shalimar Mughlai: At $13, it was passable but still not impressive. The bun on the side was not toasted or anything. Better than the Frankie, but nothing I'd recommend or return for. I was so excited for trying this place but, overall, this place is overpriced, underwhelming, and frankly disappointing. If your Vada Pav and Frankie are practically identical, maybe inform customers before they order both. I wouldn't recommend Maya Kitchen -- save your time, appetite and money and go somewhere else. Thank me later.

Double Combo Plate - Turmeric Rice - Chicken Shawarma and Gyro Beef - The Works (Everything included) - Tzatziki sauce - Falafel (Side) - Waffle Fries (Side) Okay, the presentation of the combo plate wasn't the most aesthetically pleasing, but I looked past it. Unfortunately, the chicken and beef were lacking in flavor and were pretty dry. The portions were generous, though the gyro beef was sliced pretty thin. The veggies were actually fresh, which was a plus. The hummus was on the lighter side flavor-wise, while the Baha Ghanouj had a solid roasted aftertaste. The Achilles spread was... interesting. It was very fatty with a garlic aftertaste. It just wasn't my thang. The waffle fries were cool. They were fried well and had a good crunch, but nothing special. The falafel, though, was pretty disappointing. I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch. They were very crunchy, but had a weird dish-soap aftertaste that I couldn't get past. I couldn't finish the rest. Sorry, but I'll be on the lookout for another Mediterranean spot.
