    Gyro Wrap
    Randy V.

    Food meh Service meh Ambiance meh Food wasn't seasoned well, tzatziki sauce was not it. I would not come back

    The lousy fries

    The worst food and worst service. I ordered Falafel platter and garlic fries. Falafel platter had about six falafel balls and rice, yogurt and a lousy salad. No Hummus, Baba Ganush and other sides you get normally. Garlic fries is a regular fries with a liquid garlic sauce primarily smelling heavy vinigerette! I took it back and said I don't like it, please replace with something else, he blatantly refused! Stay away from this joint! If there's a zero star, I would give it!!

    Watani burger and fries
    Steven M.

    I ordered a Watani Burger aka Afghani Burger and Hot wings for my wife. The Burger was just as good as in Kabul my wife enjoyed the wings. I was amazed at how fast everything came out and everything was Hot and fresh also ordered fries also hot and tasted better than McDonald's. I would definitely come back to try all the many other delicious looking choices.

    What a surprise! The food is great! The place is clean! Portions are generous and customer service is top notch!!! Ahmad in the customary Afghan style said "mehman ma bashain" = "be my guest" meaning don't pay. Melted my heart and reminded how warm and wonderful people Afghans are!! We got the afghans burger which was super delicious!!! Highly recommend this place!

    The Halal Joint is absolutely delicious. I usually don't have enough appetite to finish a plate this big, but the food was really good.

Even tho I was just saying we need to eat healthy, you gotta treat yo self. Service was helpful. You order up front and they make it and serve on the side. There's a few seats you can eat there. I'm glad there's more Mediterranean food popping up. There's a reason why it's a surviving cuisine. Honestly this spot is probably like a 3.5-4 stars but just giving it an extra nod considering the lack of this cuisine in the area considering it's "fast food". That I know of...

It's so refreshing to have customer service again and to actually have a manager reach out to see how they can improve. I love this. I came back and got another Dubai chocolate strawberry cup and a gyro pita. The service was MUCH better this time !!! The gyro was delicious and fresh and definitely filling. I was worried that one gyro pita would not fill me up, but it definitely did.. the strawberry cup still seems to be a little expensive however it is delicious overall. Thank you to Afreef and stuff for a pleasant experience!

Every dish is seasoned perfectly and not overly salted. I've tried just about everything on the menu and the meat is always tender. Vegetables here are top quality as well, which compliments the dishes nicely. And the green yogurt sauce is spicy! In a good way. I usually order an extra with the biryani plates, because *some* is just never enough. Their mango lassi is super mango-ey. I don't know what kind of mangoes go into this drink, but it has the most sweet, tart, and ripe fruitiness (emphasis on fruitiness), and the yogurt in it adds good balance. Perfect drink. There is a good variety of items to choose from, so I don't get bored eating here. You can tell everything is cooked fresh on a daily basis as well. Don't sleep on the desserts either. After trying baklava at many restaurants around San Jose, I regard Gulzaar Halaal's as my personal favorite. Crispy layers, firm yet chewy bottom, and never stale. Perfect balance of sweet, nutty and spiced. My favorite dessert though has to be Kanafeh. Soft-ish, melty sweet cheese (with rose water, I think?). Ask for it warmed. I've always felt relaxed when eating in the restaurant. Tables are frequently cleaned. The owner is very attentive, making sure customers are happy with everything. Their interactions with people are always very respectful and kind. Last but not least, the bathroom is clean, neat and tidy.

    Honest review ! NOt a negative but constructive review…read more We walked in and were surprised to see the place has changed after the last visit long time ago. Not even close to any of the photos shown here on Yelp and I decided not to add the current ambiance during lunch coz maybe better during dinner service . The Glass case was empty and this is not a negative review but we have to be honest and share our experience. We will still visit again because the food is on point and fresh and delicious. You just need to clean the area and especially the restrooms. . Here is our story. Walked in for lunch and hesitated as it was shockingly not the same and is like walking in to another time zone in a bad way ! We were asked to order at the counter after sitting for more than 10 minutes and they said to order from a minimal selection and we did and got 2 beef shawarma's. The food looked good and the guys that helped us was very nice and we were glad we stayed but the ambiance like third world and is nowhere what we remembered and what the photos is showing on Yelp. Maybe because We went in for lunch ? Is why the place was outdated. Is it different at dinner time ? There were plastic table covers that were slipping on all the tables and the guy was mopping the floor with a cup of concentrated chemical that hurts your nose and what smells like fabuloso cleaning solution as it was blue and he was pouring this all over the floor while stepping on a rag smearing it and then yes ! He proceeded to Spraying the windows etc. and all this with us and another couple waiting for our lunch orders just past 12 noon. We nearly walked out there but we know the food is delicious so we hunkered down waited. While waiting we washed our hands and surprisingly The bathroom is in need if attention with water leaking and the smell of the urinal is unbearable. The flooring will make you go back to your vehicle. LOL. Overall we liked the food but please clean the place before you open and visit the restrooms to see what needs attention. Food is on point that day but have to give 2 stars for now due to place needs work and restrooms are terrible and wonder what the kitchen looks like but will edit the review on the next visit if we drop by again.
