    Chicken Garlic Wrap

    We drove from Half Moon Bay to eat here, by far the best Mediterranean food we have eaten. The flavors are authentic, the service is amazing and the staff is very friendly. Outdoor seating and dog friendly. Great ambience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU WANT THE OG FLAVORS!!

    Chicken Wrap.

    Delicious food and good portions for decent prices. We received our food quickly as well. Small establishment with plenty of parking. Would definitely recommend if you're in the mood for Mediterranean cuisine.

    Ok I read reviews I saw some bad ones and good ones had to try it myself and give my own personal review. mediterranean food is a plus tired of eating Chinese food and McDonald's. Ann was the person that took the order and I forgot the chef's name but talking friendly great vibe. So for the location it's a small little spot has a few tables and chairs. It will be nice when they remodeled the place and make it look upto date cause the food was pretty good. so we ordered the lamb Gyro french fries kefta kebab plate don't forget to ask for the white sauce and the hot sauce on the side which my wife likes. My Son was going crazy with the lamb Gyro we split it of course it was all gone french fries all gone of course they have ketchup. Not bad my wife's kefta kabob meats was fresh and seasoned properly. Yes I ate her food too. All gone salad was good. Came with with a circle bread you could say it might be pita if correct me if that was wrong and hummus and of course my wife ordered two baklava you have to get that of course that was good. I'll be back to try something else I have a big taste buds I'm a plumber and I go to alot of restaurants I'm writing this 6 hours after eating there and I'm still full with no stomach issues. 5 stars for me because the food was perfect for me and my family.

    Kebab 2 meat combo

    I ordered a kebab combo and this is what I got. To me-these are not kebab and I'm a bit disappointed. However the food tastes okay and great value for the price ($17.99).

    If you grew up in Fremont or are familiar with the area, then you definitely know Gaters. They are the definition of a hole in the wall with amazing staff and food. I love to go here when I don't have much time/energy to cook at home but I want something filling and nutritious. This regular sized plate is only 14.99 which is insane to me. Most kebab places/mediterranean spots are starting at $25+ these days so this is 10/10 in my books always. The staff is always very friendly, they're open late, and just about everything on the menu is delicious. One of my go to spots since I was in high school!

    My favorite local gyro spot on Fremont! The steak gyro is amazing every time I've come here and give you a great portion of meet. The chef is a great guy and makes good conversation.

    Two Meat Combination Platter
    Maureen D.

    Came here on a pretty late night, they're open late which is great! I didn't really know what to get the owner was so nice to recommend the combo platter which you can choose the size of! He also let me try one of the desserts and it was so good! But the combo platter was packed with flavor and the sauce was so good! The meats were seasoned perfectly. The place is pretty small but there's still a little bit of seating. Will definitely be coming back.

The ambiance of the restaurant was incredible: warm, inviting, and romantic. The service was also top-notch: efficient and speedy. We tried the tasting menu, and I'm so glad we did. Every single dish we tried was delicious, and we were able to try a whole range of dishes. The amount of food we got made the price worth it. By the time we were done with the cold and hot appetizers, we were already stuffed. They then brought out the entrees, which were so delicious we kept eating. And the desserts were the perfect finish to an already amazing meal. Special highlights were the manti with garlic yogurt, artichoke with poached shrimp, lamb chops with dill-potato wedges, and the baklava. I highly recommend the tasting menu if you want to try a little bit of everything - the variety in the meal was really enjoyable. I will definitely be visiting again!

The kebap I exchanged was half and half meat and burned bread cubes with yogurt. nothing else. The $65 a plate "lokum" was a couple of thin slice of meat with a scoop of mashed potato. The server did not like my $50 tip, stating 20% minimum gratuity, which came to be $90. After that insult and spending $590, the only thing we enjoyed was the pide. We will not go to any Meyhouse never again.

However the price keeps creeping up. I don't mind the price going up if the quality also stays high. Well that was the last chance I'm willing to give to this business. It's frustrating to see a business care more about the look of the place and the presentation of the food rather than keeping the quality of the food high. What could improve? Listen to your long time loyal customers? Keep the quality of the lamb where it was a few years ago! Don't think we are stupid and can't tell the difference! It's insulting!

Service: One server running the whole floor -- so yes, patience is part of the experience. We didn't mind once the food arrived. The Food: Lamb Feet (Appetizer) -- A first for both of us. Surprisingly flavorful, and yes, you will need both hands. The restaurant thoughtfully provides plastic gloves, which you'll want. Gosh Naan (Appetizer) -- Solid, but the most forgettable dish of the meal. A fine warm-up act. Kawap Noodles (Main) -- The star of the savory lineup. Hand-pulled, chewy, and deeply flavorful. The heat isn't a punch -- it's a slow, creeping numbness on the tongue. In the best way. Uyghur Milk Tea -- Yelp reviews warned us it would be "salty." Ours wasn't, but it was silky and smooth. My partner wanted it stronger; I thought it was perfect alongside the bold noodles -- a quiet counterbalance to all that spice. Lamb Skewer Kabob -- Our unanimous favorite. Tender, juicy, and gone within minutes. Do not skip this. If you're Uyghur cuisine-curious, this is a great place to start. Come hungry, come open-minded -- and order the kabob.
