Loaded Fries.
Melanie D.

This is a 3-star casual dining with the potential for 4 stars. The vibes are great at River Street Market so it wins there and the employee at the register was great. But I had to take off 1 star for our food and about half a star for pricing. We got the loaded fries with gyro meat and chipotle sauce. Kebab Craft made a very common mistake for loaded fries or nachos: no layering. The toppings were exclusively on the top of the fries and there wasn't enough toppings to layer it yourself. This meant that our initial bites were DELICIOUS but the second half was not so great. It also seemed wayyyy too salty. For hours after eating, I was only left with the flavor of the seasoning salt. And the fries were only ok. They were thin so you couldn't get that crunch and then soft on the inside because they were crunchy all the way through. The meat (not enough of it) and the sauce were good. When it comes to pricing, the loaded fries were $15 and the portion size made it worth it. They filled the entire container. But the pricing of the drinks was a bit much. It was $5 and I think it should have been $4-4.25 at the most. Overall, I'd eat there again if I was in the mood for Mediterranean at River Street. But it's not something I'll be going out of my way for.

Decided to take a day trip to the mission and we had so many options for food, so we asked one of the employees at the mission where we should eat and she suggested this spot. I was very dissatisfied with her recommendation and should have used Yelp instead. Ordered the plate with chicken kebab as my protein. Chicken was dry and flavorless and if I remember correctly, came with an extra charge. The sides that accompanied the chicken were bland and also a waste of calories. Ordering here is too cumbersome. Trying to build my plate was like solving a math problem. They should really consider simplifying their menu. The one thing I was a fan of was the dining area that's a shared dining hall. It has a cool vibe and we were easily able to get a table but it is small so I can see getting a table being super competitive.

The portions are big and the food is mediocre, nothing to write home about, I brought shrimp, skewers, and chicken home to bf and he ate some and was not overly impressed but grateful that I brought him something substantial. I think he liked the yellow rice the most. I probably wouldn't come back since there are so many other choices at this adorably country themed outdoor shopping area called River Street in SJC

Within the food hall at River Street Marketplace. Paid parking either in nearby structure or private lot for the center. Order at the register and they call your name when ready. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, some of which is communal. Fast and friendly service in a super casual atmosphere. We got the loaded fries with chicken (you get a choice of meat). Tasted great! Generous portion for around $16 as of May 2025 with tax and small tip included. Plenty for a solo meal if you've got a huge appetite, but also enough to share and be content for lunch.

Baklava looks amazing and was just as delicious
Darci M.

Conrad was so helpful with suggestions and menu items I can't wait to sink my mouth into their baklava- it better be as good as they look! Sandwiches on point and it's a fun Market location

Tasty shwarma. Get it with everything and the garlic white sauce! Reccomended for lunch.

All the options hid my delicious chicken! Wow.

What's not to love about this place? Super generous portions, great side sauces to really kick up the flavors, super fresh ingredients, fun thick pitta breads- guess it's a style. Really happy to find a place that's tasty, got great options and super value for money.

gyro bowl
Aly T.

Their gyro is super tender and flavorful! I got a bowl with almost all of their toppings and it was a nutritious, refreshing lunch :) I've never had such fresh and thick pita before, it was the perfect pair to my bowl! CJ was very knowledgeable on recommended meats and sauce combinations for my meal, and I was very appreciative of his help! My meal came out super quick (5ish mins) which I was grateful for. Great place!

RUN, don't walk, to dine here!! Celebrated our 49th…read moreanniversary - very well taken care of by our fabulous waiter Tony!! Delicious meal, nice wine-- but let me tell you about the baklava ice cream dessert: ORGASMIC!!! (And I never eat dessert, haha!) Thank you Tony & all dining on patio... it felt like a huge extended family but we didn't have to cook, cleanup, nor do dishes!!!

They have an outdoor hookah lounge attached to the restaurant. Beautiful interior, good service…read more We ordered the Sultan's platter and an order of baba ganoush, and it was a perfect amount for a table of 4 light to moderate eaters. I think two hungry people could finish the Sultan's platter alone. The Sultan's platter comes with hummus. The server kindly refilled our pita with a fresh batch multiple times without being asked. Of the 3 meats we had: Filet: The server asked how we wanted the filet cooked and we said medium, but not even a hint of pink; regardless it was very tender. A bit on the gamey side in case you don't like that, but for me it was fine. Chicken: Very juicy but a little undersalted and some parts were a bit chewy. Not among the best chicken kabob I've had. Kafta: This was the standout among the three. The seasoning was excellent, so herby and delicious. I appreciated the variety of having all three, but next time I might get just kafta. The hummus and baba ganoush were great, but also not particularly better than any other Mediterranean place. This is a small nitpick but for a nice place that otherwise uses all ceramic and silverware, why plastic cups for the tahini and garlic sauce? Overall it was good, I would come back, but for the price I think I wish more elements would have wow'ed me.

My family and I recently visited this restaurant as a party of 15. Before going, I had read several…read morereviews, and most of the negative comments seemed to focus on customer service rather than the food. However, our experience with the staff was very positive and attentive.The staff were phenomenal and provided great service to our party. After our experience, I can say the food deserves just as much attention as the overall dining experience. The menu referenced a "Supper Club Style" experience, and I wasn't quite sure what that meant until our waitress explained it when we were ready to order. We decided to give it a try, and I'm glad we did. Let's start with the bread they serve. It was superb! Honestly, I think I could have filled up just eating the bread alone. Next came the Rip and Dip appetizers. The hummus was excellent, and the Baba Ganoush was perfectly seasoned. Then came the small plates, and every dish was impressive. However, the snap peas stole the show. It had incredible flavor, with a touch of lime that really brought everything together. The medium plates followed, featuring Grilled Harissa Prawns, Steak Tartare, Pork Belly, and Lamb Kofte Meatballs. Every dish was well prepared and packed with flavor. I expected the pork belly to be served in small chunks rather than shredded, but the preparation didn't disappoint when it came to taste. By this point, my taste buds were being treated to a remarkable combination of flavors, with each dish bringing something different to the table. And then came the large plates. Wow! The Pan-Seared Branzino was fantastic, and the Grilled Short Rib delivered amazing flavor. The Slow-Braised Lamb Shank was so tender it practically fell off the bone, and it came with five or six different dipping sauces that added even more variety to the experience. As if that wasn't enough, we also ordered the Wagyu Tomahawk Steak. The meat was incredibly tender and made an already impressive meal even better. What impressed me most was the variety of dishes, the quality of the ingredients, and the way each plate delivered its own distinct flavors. Rather than simply ordering individual entrees, the supper club style allowed our large group to experience and share a wide range of dishes. It turned dinner into something much more engaging than an ordinary restaurant visit. I would definitely return, not only for the outstanding food but also for the supper club experience itself. If you enjoy exploring different flavors and sharing great food with family and friends, this is an experience worth having.

This restaurant is super cute, and the service is great!! My friend and I met up for lunch today…read moreand ordered the Chicken Shishlik and the Spiced Butternut Squash, Farro & Feta Salad. The chicken comes with three skewers, which we felt was the perfect amount to share! It was incredibly juicy and served over a delicious green sauce, along with a flavorful red sauce that had a little muhammara kick to it. So good!! The salad was perfect for fall, with flavors that complemented each other beautifully. Such a delicious combo! Overall, a great spot for both the food and the ambiance! Would definitely recomme

I've visited Panini Kabob Grill at three different locations. This is probably my favorite location…read morefor pick-up. Their location at the Irvine Park Place is my favorite for dining in. I usually order the Fresh Atlantic Salmon Kabob, but decided to try something different. I went with the Beef Koobideh Kabob this time. I also ordered a tofu skewer a-la-cart. I ordered ahead online. Parking in the immediate area can be fairly limited, but the location is near the Kaleidoscope, so there are parking options available. You'll just have to walk further to get to the restaurant. Inside, the atmosphere is normal. It's not too bright, but just right for a nice dinner. When I arrived at the front desk, I was immediately greeted by friendly staff who retrieved my order. I didn't have to wait as they had my order ready as confirmed via text/e-mail. When I got home and opened the food, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the take out. The portions are the same as if you're dining in. The beef was seasoned perfectly and so was the tofu. The rice and even the Ceasar salad were great. I was definitely happy with my meal, considering it was take out. Food - 5 Service - 5 Ambiance - 4.5 I totally recommend this place!

This is Chicken Shish Kabob I normally order for take out …read more recently I notice the amount of food is shrinking! I picked up my order and I came home , I see just the amount of rice almost half , tomato & pepper just a very small piece & chicken kebab is less then original size!!! So disappointing, I feel like they cheat customers and cut the amount of food and price is gone up! I don't appreciate this, wont recommend people to go there and I will stop ordering food from there. It is shame some restaurants doing this, they think this is saving money for them but it is opposite result as they loose they regular customers!
