I've been here several times and the food is always delicious, warm, and fresh. The Chicken and Lamb Shawerma are my favorites. Sweets are delicious as well. Enjoy! read more

My husband and I have been to this place more than four or five times now, and we absolutely love it! The chicken shawarma and beef dishes are always super tasty, and their koobideh kebab is perfectly cooked every time. It's honestly the only restaurant that I'd say is worth visiting at least once a month the prices are fair, the portions are generous, and the food quality is consistently great. Every time we go, everything is just excellent! read more

Showed up on 1/16/26 at 11:30am--place was closed with painters inside, despite posted hours saying otherwise. No signage, no heads-up online. If you're not open, update your hours. People drive out from the South Bay expecting a meal, not a construction site. We ended up at Wally's instead. Disappointing first impression! read more

Second review since I am trying a few different things. The meat is very good rotating in front of my eyes. They shaved the meat and put it on the grill to add a little smokeyness. Falafel is also extremely good. As far as price and value, extremely good. You can share a plate no problem. Parking is an issue. read more

Oasis Kitchen offers solid Middle Eastern food: Shawarma, falafel, kefte, in wraps or as plates. Spicing is tasty, everything is fresh. Service is fast and efficient. I am happy to go there every 2 weeks or so. Usually I get my order to take out, but there are 2 or 3 tables inside and 1 out. The ambience is friendly but not fancy. Order at the counter or by ahead of time by phone. I wish I could give 4-1/2 stars. read more

Huge portions for the price. Flavor wise it just isn't even in my top 5 for local wraps/ shawarma. I prefer Halal guys over this spot: Hot sauce was decent, same with the fries. read more

Idk if they can get any better but they have. Best Middle Eastern food in the whole Bay Area. Ppl are always so friendly and consistently delicious food. I'm a regular here once a week. read more

Prior to last night's order I would've easily given Oasis a five out of five review, but unfortunately, the meals that my wife and I received for the first time were off. We have been coming to this location off and on for over two years and at one point, viewed this place to have the absolute best Mediterranean cuisine in Oakland. We've always ordered the Shawarma combo plate, which has always been filled with excellent lamb, beef, chicken, hummus, rice, and was cooked to perfection. Unfortunately, last night was different. Among the first things that I noticed was the sauce that usually is more on the wider side looks more like a gravy brown and was nowhere near the same quality as usual. In addition to that, the food itself had a very gas fume like sent that accompanied it. The food did not taste anywhere near as good as it usually does, but it also wasn't horrible. The main problem I had was that it literally got to a point for us that we could no longer eat it as it was, and had to incorporate other sauces to make up for the lack of flavor and the overwhelming amount of cookware like taste. I also don't know if this is what cleared me out this morning. It's totally possible that given we ordered this not too far from closing. This was a rush job or they gathered what they had sitting in the back and use that to produce the dishes. We've had too many good meals here to not give them the benefit of the doubt. It's just unfortunate that we didn't get the same high-quality of food that we usually get here this time around. I can say from our previous experience is here that we've never had a bad one. The people have always been friendly, the place itself has always had a great energy and respectful nature to it, and they're always on time when it comes to their guesstimate of when you should come in and get your meal. I know that we will definitely be back there sooner than later, and holding out hopes that the next time we return, the food will be as great as it usually is. But until then, I will acknowledge this blemish and write them a very high 4/5. read more

Oasis Kitchen - Shawarma Combo Plate (Halal) - Falafel Near Me - Oakland, California

Truly my favorite food to order on door dash! The portion sizes are unhinged! Be prepared for several meals! The meats are ridiculously flavorful. I personally love the shawarma plates. They come loaded up with hummus, taziki, tabouli, and some yummy cabbage mix. My boyfriend ordered a side of fries and a shawarma wrap, which was also both huge. The wrap was at least a foot long. I love Oasis Kitchen! read more

Dare I say this is the best Middle Eastern place I've ever been to? Generous portions, delicious food, and fair prices -- the Holy Trinity of eating out. Please don't let the casual, unassuming exterior fool you. Oasis kitchen is the definition of hole-in-the-wall comfort food. I stopped by Oasis Kitchen on a late Sunday afternoon. There was no line and I received my food in 5 minutes. Service was friendly and efficient. I ordered a chicken shawarma plate and my total came out to be approximately $17. The plate comes with marinated chicken breast atop a bed of rice, tzatziki sauce, pita, and salad. They do not skimp on their portions! I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and the chicken was piled high. Pita was warm and fluffy, and wrapped in foil. The portions were generous enough so that I had enough for 2 meals which is a definite win. There are maybe 2 small tables inside and 1 small table outside. Take out is definitely preferred as seating is limited. Inside is also a little smoky from the meat being cooked. They also sell a limited collection of groceries, coffee, snacks, etc. Cannot wait to come back!! read more

Total hole in the wall place. Much better than expected. The only issue I have with this place is they have indoor seating, but it's really hot in the restaurant. It wasn't totally unbearable so we ate inside. We ordered the lamb wrap. It's huge, but enough to share. It was chuck full of meat, you really get your money's worth. Everything is made fresh so it takes few minutes to get your order. read more

Oasis Kitchen - Lamb wrap - Falafel Near Me - Oakland, California

Food was classic Middle Eastern. Tasty and good portions. Not a place to dine in. I am adding more characters so Yelp will post my review

The people working here are super nice, food comes out fast and is very tasty. Add a few falafels on the side to your order and eat them straight out the bag, nothing better read more

This place is a sleeper... not too many people know about it, but there are some real standouts here! Most sides are bomb: Tzatziki- thick, rich yogurt. Nicely spiced and balanced Hummus- not your smooth af store bought stuff.. little grainy, but bursting with garlic/lemon/ tahini goodness. Baba ganoush- smoky, nice chunks of blistered eggplant, great flavor Falafel- well seasoned chickpea fritters! Open the box of to go falafel and the whole kitchen erupted with aroma. These things are so good! Kofta- little dry, but the middle eastern spice mix in there helps you forget the dryness. Drizzle the tatztiki on Overall, everything is tasty and well priced for the portion you get. Check it out! Sorry for the pics, they don't do the place justice read more

Oasis Kitchen - Chicken Shawarma Plate - Falafel Near Me - Oakland, California

I had a craving for falafel a few days back and went searching online for a "good" place in Oakland. The various restaurants listed included Oasis Kitchen, conveniently located close to home. The day before yesterday, I bought a few of the falafel balls to try out. As we all know, it is the heart of a good falafel sandwich, wrap or plate. If it is too crisp, too oily, has missing ingredients, it is better to avoid the restaurant and try elsewhere. I still have great memories of the falafels in the Sunrise café on Irving in SF... from way back when. Then the ownership changed and the food deteriorated. But I digress. After I brought them home with the Oasis hummus, the falafels were too crisp. Maybe it was in the fryer too long. I called them back and the cook apologized and asked me to try again. I went back yesterday and there was a different cook/chef, one Mohammad. He handed over a falafel ball to try - very good! It was crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, not over salty and, IMO, just right. I ordered six and as an afterthought a falafel wrap as well. He was very efficient, making four/five orders at the same time. The wrap is huge! Enough for two meals. The taste was excellent and all the ingredients tasted fresh. Kudos to these guys, I'll be back to try their other dishes. For those who have time, there is seating outside the store/restaurant as well, and a few tables inside. read more

Love this spot! They have a good variety for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Their portions are consistently generous (I usually make two meals out of one plate of food!) and the flavor is great. Cashier is always polite and friendly as well. read more

One of my favorite places in Oakland. Their Baba Ganoush is the best. The portions are big and they fill me up every time. Their plate specials are all great. Hole in the wall perfection. read more

Yum, Yum, Yum. I ordered a Lamb Shawerma wrap and a Kefta Kebab Plate. I had plenty of food for the next two days! The Shawerma wrap was good, but I preferred my nephews Chicken one, I will order that next time. The Kefta Kebab was exactly what I needed in my life. So yum! The rice and all the salads were great. Definitely will order that again. My brother ordered Combo Plates for my mom, dad and himself. The portions were huge, they could have shared two plates. So this place is a good deal for your money. I loved the falafel that was added to the plates. so yum. Will have to order a Falafel wrap next time. You know a place is good, when you already have your next 3 visits planned out of what you want to order. Well done fellas! read more

The food here is amazing and the portions are huge. This restaurant is the most authentic Mediterranean, and I'm Mediterranean so I know what I am talking about! The staff is friendly and always smiling! The service is pretty fast, you don't wait too long to get your food Only thing: it's better to have it to go and not eat there, inside it's too hot and outside there is only one table sometimes. I always order to go and it's really not a problem. I recommend this joint 100%, you're gonna travel to the Middle East with their food! read more

The other day I ordered the Trio Kebab Combo meal as a takeout meal. Wow, you get alot of food! The skewers were sticking out of the takeout container! In general, the meal was good. The lamb and chicken was very tasty and moist. However the ground beef kebab was bland. It was like eating hamburger that was cooked well-done. The hummus and veggies were tasty. read more

I am embarrassed that I live close by and took this long to try this place. What a mistake that was! We stopped by today and ordered a chicken Shawarma hummus plate and a chicken Shawarma wrap. This place is VALUE for your money. Let's start with the fact that the wrap is as long as your forearm and tastes amazing. I asked my son if he wanted to save half of the wrap for tomorrow, and he laughed and said "But I want to eat it ALL NOW." So he did. My Shawarma hummus plate came with two pieces of falafel that were out of this world. I eat Mediterranean food fairly frequently, and the flavor was on point. I shared some with my son who has never eaten falafel. "Oh, wow. That's really GOOD." Nice service. It took about 10 - 15 min for the order to be ready. Yum! read more

Ordered thru DoorDash for pick up and they were on time! If you're planning on picking it up, parking might be hard since it's across the Lake Merritt. I would recommend going to Perkins St to look for parking especially if it will be a real quick pick up. In terms of the food we got: 1) Chicken shawarma plate 2) Chicken kabob plate 3) Beef/lamb shawarma plate A plate comes with rice, humus, pita bread and salad. They are very generous and one plate can be shared with 2 people. I just kept eating it. They don't have any outdoor seating but if you would want to eat around the area, there are some seats close to Lake Merritt. Worth a try! read more

We had lunch here the other day. We ordered the Lamb and Beef Shawarma Plate, hummus plate, and a side of fries. We also had baklava. The food was decently priced, but it wasn't the best. The meat in the wrap was pretty dry and the wrap didn't really have much going for it except that it was a generous portion. The hummus plate was not very good at all. There were a lot of different things in it, but a lot of it was not fresh. The salad was wilting and the sauce on it wasn't very good either - very bland. The fries were basic. The baklava also was not good at all - not crispy or fresh and even bland (didn't know it was possible for baklava). read more

Ordered the lamb shawarma. Lamb was not tender and very gamey and the taste was...mediocre at best. Very disappointed with my meal. Could barely get through half of it. read more

Let me first say I only eat chicken and seafood. I think I ordered everything on the menu otherwise! I ordered to-go. It was fantastic! The hummus was amazing. The chicken shawarma wrap and plate loved it. The deserts were great too. I love Mediterranean food and this spot filled the void. I live in Texas but work in California for now. I actually went back the following week and ordered again. Typical whole in the wall, and I mean that in a good way! Family ran and I loved it. The guys that were preparing the food made sure everything was spot on. I definitely recommend! Jason D read more

I've never physically been here but we've ordered food to be delivered. We were both wishy-washy about what we were in the mood for. We were all over the map (literally) and couldn't agree. We saw "Mediterranean" and thought, ok this is a good compromise. When the food arrived, the quality was fantastic and the portions were huge. We both looked at each other and realized that Oasis needs to be in our regular rotation. Tasty, relatively healthy, high-quality food that comes fast and hot. What's not to like? read more
