    Gluten free and halal??? Awesome!
    Jacqueline F.

    I wanted to like this more than I did. The food was good and I got the spicy sauce, but it was spice and not flavor. I was expecting the sauce to have something like a harissa flavor, a bold sharp flavor, however, it didn't have that. I have to say that the gluten-free pita/bread was the best I've ever tasted. The chicken was cooked well but the chunks were bigger than I expected. And this filled me up for sure, I just wish that I had a better flavor as it was doing so. The truck took a while to get the food together and that's not a problem. But after such a wait, the food was a disappointment. The fact that the best thing I had was the gluten free flat bread is not good. They need a sauce with flavor and heat. That would elevate the experience a great deal for me.

    Hella Fries with beef gyro meat

    Excellent food, very filling, very fast service, and super convenient. Hoping they come back to my office again so we can try the other menu options.

    Chicken kebab rice bowl with add-on of french fries.

    I highly recommend this place, especially on Fridays and Sundays when they are at the Presidio tunnel tops park. I love their chicken kebab. It's tender and juicy. I highly recommend adding the fries. Add onto your rice bowls. And don't be scared spicy tzatziki is not that spicy

    Beef/lamb gyrrito

    This review is for the mobile food truck for Kabob Trolley, as they do not have a brick and mortar restaurant, nor a regular fixed location for their food truck. Rather they serve up their Mediterranean and halal specialties throughout the SF bay area, including Alameda county. I've visited Kabob Trolley two years in a row at SF's annual Comedy Day event in Golden Gate Park, and was there just this past weekend.  The food here is pretty good. They stuff their gyros and gyrritos with beef/lamb, veggies, and all the fixings, so you can barely hold it together while you eat. Yes, I have to use a fork and knife while eating the gyro, to avoid spilling the ingredients all over. But it's a good problem to have, as there's plenty of toppings to fill you up, so much flavor, and everything tastes fresh, with a warm fluffy pita bun holding it together. The staff here is friendly, and the service is reliable and efficient overall. There's nothing that really stands out from other similar restaurants or food trucks (besides the enormous portions for the filling), but there's a lot to like about this place.

    Date: 9/10/2022 Time: 2:00 PM 72° Overcast The weather has cooled down to a temperature that I am comfortable. The Kabob Trolley food truck was at the Lake Merritt BART's 50th anniversary celebration. There were at least four food trucks at this event. I wanted something quick to eat and the shortest line was this one. The three sliders at $13.00 (excluding tax) were what I ordered. Wow! The service was quick for them. In less than five minutes, my sliders were ready for consumption. They were filling, quite good and loaded with plenty of grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, pickle and topped with a white sauce. Value of the sliders: good. Enough to feed two people with small appetite. The next time I see this food truck I will be ordering falafel and their rice bowl. Rating: 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

    They do catering too.

    Quick service food truck. They were in Alameda's Off the Grid today (Saturday), so I ordered their 3 sliders with chicken kabob as my choice of protein ($13). You can also get falafel or gyro meat inside, but you can't combine or do a mix and match for the 3 sliders. I was told only 1 choice of protein for that order. The sliders came with melted cheese, iceberg lettuce, onion, and tomato, on egg buns. The chicken kabob was not dry and there were about 2 kabob pieces in each of the 3 sliders. I'd be curious to try their other dishes the next time I run into them, as prices are reasonable.

    Hella fries with falafel
    Sydney J.

    I saw them in a group of food trucks on the Presidio Tunnel Tops, so I decided to order the hella fries with falafel, regular tzatziki sauce. They have other options such as in a wrap or with rice, although it looks like from the menu, the stuff inside would still be pretty much the same. The fries themselves are pretty good, seasoned and crispy. The falafels were also nice, crispy on the outside and they gave me 4 of them total, which mostly were stuck together. The salad part, containing lettuce, tomato, and cabbage, was the plainest and least interesting to me. There were only a few pieces of fried green beans and I thought the onions could've been grilled more. Next time I would probably opt for hummus instead of tzatziki sauce since I find the tzatziki doesn't add much in flavor (though they have a spicy version available as well). I did think the quantity was alright, taking into account high prices for food truck food.

    Hella Fries and pressed juice
    Julie W.

    Went to the Summer Bash at SF Moma and Kabob Trolley was one of the off the grid food trucks. We had the hella fries and their fresh juice drink. They take orders, make orders, give out orders, and then take more orders. The hella fries had a choice of protein. They ran out of chicken, not that I would have ordered the chicken. The seasoned meat was lamb & beef, over skinny French fries, with grilled onions, chopped lettuce, tomato, peppers, & cucumbers with sauce. Great appetizer or snack. Great to try out. It's good but I would probably look for other options. Juice was original and had lots of flavors. I would have preferred something more thirst quenching and colder.

    Gyro
    Mari B.

    These Gyros are fire!! If you have not been adventurous or haven't had decent Afghan food, trust me when I say you need to try this place! The Pita bread is so soft, the meat is cooked perfectly that it melts in your mouth. The spicy sauce is a must try! My kids love it and they are starting to eat spicy. It's all put together deliciously. Super friendly staff and so humble. He remembered us from a month ago and thanked us for coming back! Please support local vendors!

    Beef/lamb gyro wrap
    Marianne F.

    I had the beef and lamb gyro wrap with spicy tatziki and it was amazing. They did not skimp on the meat, veg, or sauce. The spicy tatziki had a nice kick but wasn't too spicy. Just the perfect flavor combo!

    Sliders: i got 1 of each

    Chicken kabob is so flavorful - love their healthier food options. Their Falafels are to die for, haven't had a falafel that can beat theirs. Cant go wrong with ordering chicken over rice or their sliders. Or better yet get a plate & a slider ;-) Go spicy tzatziki

    Lamb Gyro Pita

    I ordered the beef/lamb gyro wrap and it was absolutely delicious. The tender meat, fresh vegetables, and flavorful sauce created a mouthwatering combination. The service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!

    Beef/Lamb Gyro
    Adam B.

    The gyro is pretty mediocre but the falafel is awesome. Hence, by averaging, this place gets a middling 3-star. Also, I don't understand why it's call the Kaböb Trölley when it doesn't serve any kabobs (just gyro). Beef/Lamb Gyro: One of the biggest flaws of gyros on the West Coast seems to be that the meat is finished on a griddle instead of on the spit. This makes the meat greasier since heating it up releases fat; on the spit that fat just falls off but on the griddle gets all over the meat. Additionally, gyro meat seared on the spit has one side really crispy and one side softer; that delicate texture contrast doesn't happen when cooked from the griddle. Besides the meat not having the proper on-the-spit searing, the fillings just didn't work. Pickled peppers and raw string beans were just weird and didn't pair well. Falafels: These were actually amazing. Lots of sesame seeds so the exterior had a pleasant toasted sesame taste. The texture was on point. Perfectly crispy outer shell and soft inside. And the mouthfeel wasn't too smooth nor too grainy.

La Vaca Birria is counter service- you order at the counter, you pick up your food at the counter. The menu is fairly simple, and who needs overly extensive when what you're ordering is hitting a 10 out of 10 in taste and flavor ?!? Working backwards, the Horchata is delicious! I often find that when I order Horchata at different restaurants, it's either been watered down, or somethings going on with it where it's locking the fullness in flavor. Chips- house made. Perfectly crunchy, definitely tasty, could have used salt or some seasoning. I still enjoyed them. I ordered three birria tacos with consommé. ( combo #4) with the plan being that I would enjoy one and have the other two later on. These were so good, that I finished all three. The meat is tender, flavorful, and the overall flavor profile super tasty. The consommé did exactly what it was supposed to do and added a layer of flavor to the tacos. I found that that's not always the case, but this was definitely the exception. The tacos were fairly light on the filling, which is why I was able to finish all three. The added bonus is the house made churro that comes in the combo. Who doesn't like a tasty churro? Services nonexistence since it's a counter situation. Are you getting the biggest bang for your buck here? No, not really. It's pretty pricey for the offerings. The meal cost pretty close to $30. Definitely not cheap eats. Go for the deliciousness!

Surprisingly, the restaurant wasn't very busy, and they didn't start preparing my food until I got there. I mentioned that I had placed the order an hour earlier and expected it to be ready, but the server seemed to brush off my concern, which was disappointing. One highlight was the hot sauce. I'm not sure if it's house-made or not, but it's so good. The pita, however, was a letdown. I prefer my pita soft, fluffy, and warm, but this one was hard and grainy. Overall, it's a cute restaurant with decent food, but it isn't my top choice.

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We shared one breakfast platter, and it was more than enough for us. The restaurant itself is also beautiful, with a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. The biggest disappointment was the Turkish coffee. I had been telling my husband how amazing authentic Turkish coffee can be because I had previously visited a Turkish café in San Mateo where the coffee was served in a traditional pot alongside Turkish delights, allowing you to refill your small cup. I expected something similar here. Instead, we each received only a tiny cup for around $5, which felt more like ordering a small espresso. It wasn't bad, but it definitely didn't live up to our expectations. The service was another area that could be improved. We arrived early and were ready to order, but we waited quite a while before anyone came to our table. During that time, I noticed another table that had arrived after us was greeted, had their order taken, and thus received their food before we were served. That was a little frustrating. One small inconvenience is that there is only one restroom for the restaurant. Despite those issues, the food was excellent, and that's what matters most. We would absolutely come back for the Turkish breakfast because it was truly delicious. Overall, I'd give this place 4 out of 5 stars. With a little improvement in service and a more memorable Turkish coffee experience, it would easily be a 5-star restaurant.

I love the amount of toppings they add onto the salad and having it served table side is even better. For the salad, it was more savory and the flavor was light which helped bring out the salad more; which is a positive. The Nan Pia Dok noodles were also served table side and honestly, this was good but not quite extraordinary. Eventually halfway, the noodles lost its flavor and just felt like stir fried noodles with toppings. This was also more of a savory dish. The Burma Chicken Mint dish was also somewhat delicious but fell short towards the end as it tasted exactly what it looks like. It's not bad but does get boring fast. If you love spicy food then I highly recommend getting this; otherwise it's not really for me. The service is honestly top notch, can't really complain when the person serving you the salad is extremely friendly which breaks the awkward silence every now and then. Overall, I would definitely come back to try some of the other dishes as I'm venturing into newer territory, and honestly that's okay. The service and food was decent enough for me to give it another chance. The salad was honestly the best thing to get here.

We both loved that the batter wasn't too heavy on the salt, and that the meat was still juicy despite being fried to a satisfying crunch. The French toast and Waffles were also delicious and buttery. Nasi goreng, on the other hand, was a bit of a letdown. Maybe my expectation was too high, but the fried rice just didn't hit the spot. Their Vietnamese coffee was also pretty mid, since I've had it much better elsewhere. These slight misses won't stop me from picking them over Plow though. I love that they have more of the menu variety that resonates with my tastebuds, and I will definitely be returning there.

It's only the sauce that gives the chicken flavor. 3.5/5 The wings aren't at all crispy. And flavor was ok and could have been better. But what was off-putting was the smell of the wings after we boxed it up and took it home! It had this gamey chicken smell as if it was old chicken. At least none of us got sick, but I'll think twice about revisiting.
