Palestinian Lamb and Rice - was baked in the dish.
Scott M.

We were excited to try this spot as it had been a while since we had last been. Place smelled great! We love Mediterranean do we felt bad we hadn't been there for a while. We walked in and the spices were heavy. Great aromas from the open kitchen. Unfortunately, the food was kind of a let down. We ordered shawarma and a Palestinian lamb and rice special. Both came with a cucumber salad that looked pretty tattered and old. Also, we received tzatziki. Both dishes were reasonably tasty but the lamb on both plates seemed dry, aid didn't taste super fresh. We left feeling nonplussed, and considered whether to take leftovers. I'm sure a lot of their dishes are amazing - the wraps they were cooking looked great- but the dishes we ordered, though spicy and flavorful, didn't seem particularly fresh, which took it down a notch for us. I would recommend them, but I would also caution this place might be a little hit or miss.

Lamb kebab plate

Stopped by for lunch after a random yelp search while we were in Santa Rosa and was pleasantly surprised! We ordered the lamb kebab plate which came with a cucumber salad, hummus, and pita. We also had a side of dolma. The presentation of the dishes was really pretty and everything was delicious! It was plenty of food for the 2 of us to share. The little indoor patio was great for lunch, with all the windows open.

I stumbled upon Falafel Hut while waiting in line for Russian River Brewing, and I'm so glad I did. The place was open, the food looked incredible, and I decided to step inside and order a chicken kebab plate to-go so I could keep my spot outside. The server let me know it would take about 15 minutes, and it was absolutely worth the wait. The chicken was tender and flavorful, the hummus was rich and delicious, and the cucumber salad tasted great. It all came with warm, soft pita that was perfect to dip and grab pieces of chicken. On top of the great food, the service was friendly and welcoming, and I noticed there's plenty of seating both inside and outside if you want to stay and enjoy your meal there. I'll definitely be back next time--and plan to sit down and fully enjoy it!

Sounds kind of crazy, but the falafel hut in Santa Rosa has the best falafel I've ever tasted and I've traveled around and have had a lot of falafel.

Braised lamb shank - so good
Bonnie N.

Fiance and I have been here too many times to count. It is probably our favorite restaurant in Santa Rosa. Portions are large and filling, prices are right, taste and quality are delicious and consistent. Our go to orders are their lamb shank, chicken kabob or shawarma plate. We have also tried their lamb chops, lamb gyro plate and spanakopita which are delicious as well. The food always comes out quick. Every dish starts with cucumber salad, hummus and pita bread. One of the best pita bread I've had. Just so soft, warm and has the right amount of chew. The lamb shank is super tender and comes with a side of soup. The chicken kebab is juicy and never dry. We usually have leftovers. They have a wide variety of desserts too. Most times I am too full but we've had their baklava which is really good. The restaurant feels really homey, and there is indoor and outdoor seating. If they have the rose water, you should try it! Thank you Falafel Hut!

Amazing food and even better customer service! Extremely friendly staff! Clean and well lit tables love this place!

Veggie Platter - excellent! Daughter had the Chicken Sharma - excellent as well!

Hecka good food. Fast and friendly service. You can bring your dog! Loved the complimentary Rose Water!

Fries with shawarma

Found a "new" fav. Turns out it's been open since 2006! Family owned, always the best. Gotta support local. Great atmosphere, warm and friendly. Very quick service; little unsure of ordering process but the staff was quick to explain, offered menu and some tips, then go back and order and counter; food was quick, fresh, colorful and full of flavor!

Turkish delight and Double pistachio baklava
Daphna O.

The ambient was amazing. I loved the atmosphere and the design of the place. The service was great as well. The girl who took our orders was very friendly and helpful. However the food was not too much too my liking. This was my first time trying traditional Middle Eastern food so I wouldn't know what it's supposed to taste like. I had the chicken shawarma and it had too much cumin.

I came here for my birthday and it was the best choice I could have made! We were able to quickly place our orders and choose our seats. They have an area that is sort of outdoors, which is where we chose to sit. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and my partner ordered a burger. We got an order of falafel as well. It was a bit busy when we got there but our food came out pretty fast. All of the food was SO GOOD. I especially loved the hummus they serve. The olive oil they use tastes very high quality. The shawarma was beautifully seasoned as was the yellow rice. My partner loved his burger and the fries were also delicious! I ordered some desserts to go (mostly baklava) which were delicious as well. Overall, we were very impressed with the food and the service was excellent. I will definitely be back!

Today was my first visit to Zoftig Eatery and it certainly won't be my last! I really had no idea…read morethat there would be so many interesting options here and they all sounded so good! I came here to try their breakfast sandwich, which definitely did not disappoint. I also took home a couple of desserts for later! The service here is really great! The person who helped us when we arrived gave us some great suggestions! I really like the seating here and it feels nice and spacious. The art on the walls adds a nice touch as well! The breakfast sandwich has fried eggs and white cheddar cheese on an English Muffin. First I love the way they fry the eggs. Crispy, but still with a runny yoke. The cheese is melted nicely into this really yummy English muffin that was toasted really nicely. I also added bacon and avocado, which was a delicious touch. It's a very rich, fatty sandwich, so I asked for some hot sauce plus it's served with a side of pickles which helps to cut the richness as well. I took a few desserts home to try later, and I'm glad I did! The gluten free carrot cake is excellent. Very buttery and the texture is amazing. Not very sweet, but that may be what some people like. The gluten free lemon cheesecake had a great flavor and is dense like a NY style cheesecake. Again, also not very sweet, but delicious nonetheless. The Flan was a 10/10 in flavor and sweetness, but a 6/10 in texture. A little too dense for my liking. Overall, I love this place and will be back soon!

Zoftig has expanded into full-blown Choose Your Own Adventure territory: Build Your Own salads, sandwiches, wraps, and bowls, plus a gluten-free dessert lineup that practically begs you to pretend you're being healthy right up until the very end. I went with the Thai yellow curry over brown rice with chicken, which was the kind of meal that makes you feel like a responsible adult who has their life together. It was delicious! My dining companion's Ahi Poke bowl was equally impressive, and the roasted sweet potato salad was so good it briefly made me question my life choices up to that point. The chicken -- whether in a salad or a bowl -- was tender, flavorful, and absolutely not what I expected from a place with this many kale options. A word to the wise: show up at noon and you will be humbled. This spot is enormously popular with locals and the lunch-break crowd, and the line will remind you that good food attracts a crowd whether you like it or not. Fortunately, the staff is genuinely warm, happy to make recommendations, and will answer your menu questions without making you feel like you're holding up the line -- even when you absolutely are. Needless to say, it won't be another few years before I'm back. Zoftig has officially earned a permanent spot in the rotation.

We got a variety of things - I forgot to take pics of everything but what we ordered was DELICIOUS!! We got the Deluxe Falafel Sandwich because it included eggplant (sorry no pic). I gobbled it up right away - crunchy falafel with creamy hummus, with a bit of lettuce, tomato and eggplant, with the slices of pickles took it to the top - along with their tahini sauce. We got the spicy sauce on the side so we can top on as much as we wanted. Delicious!! So much flavor and textures... We also shared a Lamb Gyro - and their pita was soft and pillowy - yet great texture outside. Add the tender slices of lamb, topped with the tabouli and fresh veggies!! Having the bits of red onions really gave it that extra flavor. All around one of the best - it helps with fresh pita!! Friends also got the Gyros - one got the beef gyros plate - they loved the hummus. They also got the lentil soup. I think they enjoyed it. They definitely finished it up. Another friend got the chicken sandwich. It was hot and messy but they enjoyed it. Was very juicy. Definitely EXCELLENT food and a little hidden gem!! I think this is a local place as we didn't see a lot of tourist come through here which makes it even more special!!

We'd been around before, but most times ended up next door getting mediocre bagels. I'm so glad this time we ended up here! We placed our order for two gyros, and had some pastries to eat while we waited. Mine was so good, I absolutely scarfed it down. The filo crust and walnuts were really tasty and it helped stabilize my blood sugar while I waited for lunch. While waiting I needed to use the bathroom, which ended up being very weird, I needed to trek far and around, go through a secret door with another passcode and another locked door, and had to be let in by staff. Interesting. Also made me miss the retro diner that used to be in this block with amazing malts. Anyway, back to the food. Once I was back, our gyros were ready and they were gorgeous. Mine was in a wheat pita and I asked for extra hummus. His was lamb on white pita and we both tore into them. Baby had some yogurt sauce and some gyro meat and she loved it too! Hubs said it was the best gyro in the county, which is high praise because if gyro's on the menu, he gets it. He reminisces about his time in Greece and is always chasing that illusive perfect pita gyro. Now that we know gyro perfection is here, you better believe we're going to be back. Id so much rather do local business than go to Nick the Greek or some other chain. Even if it does mean having a secret handshake to get into the bathroom club...still worth it. Prices are average, quality is good, portions are generous, and parking is easy and free onsite. Only downside is the bathroom situation so better make sure you go before you leave home or work if you're headed here.

For example, I had ordered a side of fries to go with my chicken sandwich. They were the only thing to hit the table for a good ten minutes while we waited for the other food to come out. The southwest chicken sandwich was substantial. Big to hold and to eat. It was, however, a little dry and sadly under seasoned. The sauce couldn't boost the flavor. The setting is good, a bit dated maybe, but overall okay. It's not noisy, so we as a table of five, could easily engage with each other. I don't know - I mean maybe from the other reviews that were raving about the food and the service, I did expect "amazing and delicious." We got, just okay and mostly adequate. I gave three stars because really, it was just okay. There's potential to show more care and attention for each guest and in each dish - or table set - leaving the kitchen. Others seemed to have received it. It was missing for us.
