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!

The interior is super spacious with plenty of seating and they have a self-ordering kiosk which I always prefer (nothing against the staff, they are very friendly and welcoming!) I ordered the protein bowl with saffron chicken and added tzatziki sauce as well - soooo good! The chicken is tender and flavorful and the tzatziki sauce is on par with the ones I've tried in Greece. In my opinion, tzatziki sauce can either make or break a meal and they've really got it down. I'd like to mention though that since the protein bowl already came with hummus and garlic yogurt, adding on the tzatziki sauce made my bowl too saucy (that was my bad) so next time I'll switch out the garlic yogurt. Luckily, the staff were so very kind to give me a side of greens to mix in so I could balance it out - 10/10 customer service. I also took a bite of my fiancé's Super Duper Wrap with grilled sirloin steak and that was amazing as well. Overall, it was a great dining experience and we will be back again.

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!

As noted before, this has the best kabobs & hamburgers; both are a cut above anyplace else. I…read morethink the meat is ground on site. I mentioned before the rice has a scent and flavor beyond jasmine or basmati. The French fries are crisp & fresh. The flat bread is tender. The menu has expanded and is more flexible. A new gem is the lentil soup; creamy & exotically spiced without being too much so. It is not the least expensive place, but you get more than you pay for. Tayyibaat remains our go-to splurge.

Never had Persian food before but this place just sets my expectations high for other Persian…read morerestaurants I try in the future!!!! 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.

Came earlier this evening on Wednesday 2/5 and ordered two wraps. Not sure if the employee who…read moreprepared and rolled our wraps is brand new or was having a bad day but these wraps were not up to their recent standards. My last 4-5 visits - the wraps were made perfectly and this place has become back in my weekly rotation. Going to chalk this one up as a one off but wanted to provide feedback so this individual can get the necessary training. To summarize our wraps - there was a lack of meat. I ordered the chicken tenderloin and there must have been a total of 6 pieces in that entire wrap. I had to re-check my wrap after a few bites, it almost felt like I was eating a veggie wrap. The few pieces of meat that was put in there was all on the very right side of the wrap. They normally wrap it properly where each bite is consistent. My wife's wrap had the same issues as well. Going to continue to come here but if this is going to be new standard, going to have to opt out.
