    First of all Fabiola... what a wonderful experience you gave me as a first timer! Thank you for the…read moretop notch service. I came into the restaurant asking how long my order would take, she said 10 minutes. Although there were chairs and tables under an eave, I chose to go to the car. Faviola brought the food to me and it was sprinkling outside! She even came back and gave us extra utensils when she realized there were two of us. All the while smiling:) I ordered via yelp because we were starving and easily this restaurant has their menu in organized and visually appealing. Their descriptions and the variety of selections and customizations on point. My husband said he wasn't hungry but then saw the food and we scarfed it all down. He gave it 8.5 and said would come back. I ordered pickled vegetables which I thought was going to be onions but I think it's actually cabbage. Not my preference so I will take that home to the parents. Did order yogurt dip- husband was a fan. The chicken thigh and filet were so tender. I had put a note on the order for medium rare. I wouldn't call that medium rare but it was tender nonetheless. I'm sad I had to pay extra for a half of a Roma tomato, salad and lavash- the lavash I saw it in the add-ons menu so I assumed it wasn't in there. Ended up with so much lavash. No need to buy extra. The entire thing came up to $63-ish. The food was 4/5 but service was 5/5! I know this economy has everyone struggling. This was probably the most I have spent on Mediterranean food. I would have expected $45-$50. We just came back from Turkey so this would have costed us $15-$20 USD. Portions for rice and meat were good though! All in all- would come back!

I ordered the palak paneer which I've had at multiple spots and only one so far has been great. I ordered it extra spicy because I don't like it otherwise and they made it perfect for me. The palak paneer was so creamy, rich, spicy, and the cheese was so yummy. My boyfriend ordered the tandoori chicken which was super juicy and flavorful. The green sauce on the side tasted a little minty but was great with it. I love the basmati rice and the butter naan. Everything was super affordable and the server was very nice and friendly. The palak paneer is the best here and I will be coming back very soon!!

    My friends and I were in the mood for some Mediterranean food and came across Souvlaki's Greek…read moreSkewers on Yelp. We decided to give this place a try and man we were not disappointed at all. It is located in a rather small business complex with other restaurants around. Parking can be a little tight during peak hours, but it is so worth it. It is a walk-up to order type of place where they bring your food out to you. The menu is clear to see, however they have a ton of options. One of the questions we had was what was the difference between a gyro and a souvlaki. The best way to think about it is, a gyro has shaved meat, while a souvlaki has skewered chunked meat. We ordered the dolmades, chicken gyro combo (comes with fries), and a beef souvlaki. The beef souvlaki was seasoned well and the red onions, French fries and other ingredients provides the perfect well-balanced flavor. The chicken gyro was also a well seasoned and balanced gyro in soft pita bread. The highlight for us,however, was the dolmades. If you think you have good ones throughout San Jose, I can guarantee, you will not see this one coming. It came out warm, slightly acidic, but also well balanced. It has meat in it,which I think might be veal or beef, I scarfed it down so fast I completely forgot to ask what type of meat they use. I cannot wait to go back and visit again. Those dolmades are calling me!

Their combo platters, kabobs, rated tomato, yogurt dipping, cucumber/tomato salad, and falafel are crowd-pleasers, and the hummus, rice, and fresh salads are always a hit. Everything is prepared fresh, seasoned perfectly, and served with generous portions. You can truly taste the care that goes into every dish. The staff is friendly, responsive, and easy to work with for catering orders. They are AMAZING! If you're looking for a reliable and flavorful Halal catering option in the Bay Area, Mazzeh Grill should be at the top of your list. Perfect food, perfect service, wonderful small woman own business, I highly recommended!

Ordered the old skool (koobideh) mazzeh plate which comes with the beef/lamb skewer (choice of 1 or 2 skewers), rice and roasted tomato!!! The meat was super tender and flavorful and honestly 1 skewer is a good amount of food! The rice is also very well seasoned; not just your typical plain rice. What really blew my mind was the yogurt white sauce they offered. Holy moly it's so good. It's so refreshing to eat with the kabob and I love that they have bits of cucumber in it; way better than any yogurt sauce I've every had! The chipotle tahini was also super great if you love spice!

I got my usual Beef Koobideh (it was okay, a little bland compared to the persian places I have tried in Los Angeles, NJ, FL, etc...). The beef koobideh was larger than most other places and they gave a lot of rice too (which I like). My son got the Chicken Koobideh, he also thought it was okay... he was indifferent. I tasted a bite of it, it was also less flavorful than I would usually expect. My wife got the Jewel Polo with Steamed Chicken. She was the one with a not happy review, she was telling me that it was unlike any place she had ever tried and was like "All they did was lightly boil the chicken and put it in the tray". I didn't try it because that is not my dish, I only stick with Beef Koobideh anywhere I go. The people working here seemed very friendly, the customers were also very friendly since they seemed to know the workers and helped me flag down the main guy for a question. My review isn't to discourage anyone from this place. It just didn't hit the spot for my wife so I won't be able to give it a second try. As a south asian person, we like our food with lots of flavor and lots of spices... so you might find this place perfect for your palate. My wife kinda forced my hand on the topic, I would not beat them up as harshly (I ate all of my Beef koobideh and enjoyed it, but even left to my own opinion... I'd go back to my usual place for a familiar flavor). I only took one star off because of the feedback from my wife.

It took 10 minutes to get soda, 20 minutes for appetizers and over an hour for the main dishes. The waitress had all kinds of excuses: we got large orders, it's holiday, you ordered lamb, etc. Basic decency says that you should at least warn about the significant delays and let diners decide if they still want to eat there. I guess these guys are too greedy for decency. Despite the good food, I recommend avoiding unless you are ok waiting over an hour.
