My favorites include the shawarma lamb wrap damascus style, falafel tacos, the original chicken shawarma wrap, and of course the pickles and toum. I also really enjoyed the Fatteh. You can't really go wrong with anything here, it's just about what your personal favorites are. The owners are so kind and friendly, always chatting with everyone in the restaurant, they create a very warm and welcoming environment, and you can tell they really care about what they do.

We got two different vegetarian wraps to go: the Lebanese fries wrap and the falafel wrap. To our…read moresurprise, the fries wrap was the better of the two, as the garlic aioli and whatever other flavors were added made it tasty. It definitely could have used the coleslaw and pickles promised by the menu but they weren't in evidence. That was the problem with the falafel wrap, too: the menu promised hummus, cabbage & tomatoes salad, and pickled turnips, but those ingredients weren't anywhere to be seen. There was some lettuce instead, but lettuce is a poor substitute as it just becomes immediately soggy and adds no flavor. If you've ever had falafel in Israel, you will be disappointed by the falafel here, unfortunately. (Israeli falafel shops each make at least a dozen toppings from family recipes, so you put as many veggies and sauces in as you can to create a flavor party in your mouth.)

Amazing 10/10, I…read moretried the chicken and beef plate. Both of them solid, there selections of sauces was great too! I recommend the white and spicy sauce. They got the food out fast and my group really enjoyed it. I personally prefer the chicken shawarma. The service was fantastic and it was our first time. They gave us recommendations and the falafels came out fresh. The place is definitely better than the chain places I've been too. It's in a cozy plaza. Definitely my go to spot in the future.

casual mediterranean spot serving big plates…read more i was craving mediterranean food so we checked this place out from their good reviews on yelp. area is a bit sketchy it's near a liquor shop and sports bar. we got a chicken shawarma and achilles chicken plate. they do not skimp out on meat and sides and actually pack your bowl. i really enjoyed their side spreads like hummus and baba ghanouj (roasted eggplant tahini). the melody of flavors worked well together. their falafel was actually heart shaped and one of the best we had. fried right in front of you so it's pipping hot. would come back next time for pick up!

Hella yummy Palestinian food in the Bay!…read more I've heard of Holyland but finally had the chance to dine there for a weekend lunch. These days it's always at the front of my mind that food spots that call themselves "Middle Eastern" or "Mediterranean" truly divulge who is the owner and chefs are. I'm talking about only eating from restaurants that can name the country their food comes from be it Falasteen, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the list goes on. Holyland is located in the industrial part of Santa Clara, and they boast lots of interior seating (great for large parties and group meals) and also run a catering service. So there's loads of parking and plenty of space. My friend and I were hungry, so I got the lamb kofta and he had the beef plates. We were SO happy. It comes with a light tangy salad, delicious hummus with a kick of spice, a bed of delicious yellow rice and slender pita bread. They also have serve-yourself hot cardamom tea which is so delicious and perfect. They also serve a bunch of other refrigerated drinks like Salaam Cola and kefir. The mezze plate with x4 different dips looks so yummy, I would get that next time with a large group to share. Will definitely head back with a larger group. We saw other diners from couples, to solo to large families eating. The interior could use some sprucing up, but the quality of the food, staff, and authenticity of the place is #1. Delicious. Freedom for the Holyland Five and liberation for all of Palestine!

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAtmosphere: 5/5 Yummy!! We got for takeout: - kefta kebab plate: meat was flavorful but slightly too pink in the center! We microwaved for 30seconds and it was fine, still super juicy. The hummus it comes with has a spice added in the center of it - moussaka with meat: very flavorful, has eggplants, peppers, onions, ground beef - kenafeh: soft, sweet, without being overly drenched in syrup My partner really liked the moussaka. Everything is thoroughly cooked in it and flavored really well, and the rice pairs great. I went on a Thursday afternoon before 5pm and it was empty, food was brought out pretty quickly and they were friendly. There's plenty of parking, it's tucked behind some other buildings.

I haven't had Xinjiang/Uyghur cuisine before eating here, but it's delicious! While the noodles are often in oil-based flavorings, they are never too heavy as the herbs and spices balance the light oil. Everything has lots of flavor, though if you can't eat lots of oil, some dishes may not be for you. The hand-pulled noodles are very long, so if you are sharing a dish, you may be pulling them out for a while or end up grabbing the same noodle as someone else. The restaurant is on the smaller side and with only 1 larger table seating 5-7 realistically, so tables of 2-4 will be seated quicker. This is not a place for large parties, and you may feel a touch close to other diners at other tables. I'll definitely be back when I'm looking to eat something on El Camino!

My friend suggested this place because she had…read morebeen on a mission trip to Xinjiang, China in the past and wanted to share a taste of that time with us. She said the food was very authentic Uyghur. We all enjoyed the hardy meal in a casual setting. Cumin Lamb is always good, cannot go wrong with this combo. Big Plate Chicken had 2 kinds of wide, long noodles, tender chicken with bones, and potato. Fish Soup with Sauerkraut also had 2 kinds of noodles, and also all kinds of veggies like wood ear and cabbage, and also tofu and fish balls.

A halal gem right between Mission College and Great America!…read more I met up with my friends here on a Friday night, and it wasn't busy at all. The interior looks modest. It's because it's geared more as a take-out, casual restaurant, where you go in and order your food at the cashier. Still, there are tables to sit down and dine in, so we waited around 15 minutes for all of our food to arrive. I got the Roasted Lamb entree, which consists of tender leg lamb pieces with rice, salad, and sauce. The lamb was so juicy and tender, even my friends who had a bite of it admitted they were jealous of my order. For a casual joint, Fremont Kabob did an amazing job making everything taste really good. In my opinion, I have personally been to halal places with better value in terms of their food, pricing, and restaurant environment. Nonetheless, this is a great place to try if you are in the Santa Clara area!

The service was also top-notch: efficient and speedy. We tried the tasting menu, and I'm so glad we did. Every single dish we tried was delicious, and we were able to try a whole range of dishes. The amount of food we got made the price worth it. By the time we were done with the cold and hot appetizers, we were already stuffed. They then brought out the entrees, which were so delicious we kept eating. And the desserts were the perfect finish to an already amazing meal. Special highlights were the manti with garlic yogurt, artichoke with poached shrimp, lamb chops with dill-potato wedges, and the baklava. I highly recommend the tasting menu if you want to try a little bit of everything - the variety in the meal was really enjoyable. I will definitely be visiting again!

The kebap I exchanged was half and half meat and burned bread cubes with yogurt. nothing else. The $65 a plate "lokum" was a couple of thin slice of meat with a scoop of mashed potato. The server did not like my $50 tip, stating 20% minimum gratuity, which came to be $90. After that insult and spending $590, the only thing we enjoyed was the pide. We will not go to any Meyhouse never again.

This review is for a recent…read moreDoorDash order, but we've dined in a couple of times already and were already impressed with all the dishes we tried. Last time we dined here, our overall impression was - a food truck with a lot of heart. Great attention to detail in presentation, menu curation, quick, friendly service, and clean as a whistle. This time we tried their Peri Peri Egg sandwich, Chicken Kheema Pav, and Egg Pulav. All of these items were great. The Peri Peri Egg sandwich tastes like a good old Egg Salad sandwich went to India on a tourist visa and decided to stay there for good LOL. The bell peppers and the peri peri spice along with the mayo give it a unique taste. The egg pulao was fantastic - street style pulav (tawa pulao) with protein - can't complain. The kheema pav is stand-out. Minced chicken in a dryish curry that you have with bread. I'll go ahead and say it's one of the best chicken kheema pav I've had in the Bay Area. Definitely recommend this place. If you want to get a taste of some unique Indian street style food - popular in Indian cities like Surat and Mumbai, look no further than Eggmania!

Was finally in the area after I had been eying this place as a healthy option for several months…read more Places my order online and got there 5 minutes early. Was probably only the 4th order for the day based on my order number lol but I decided to wait until my estimated completion time since I wasn't sure if they would text me when the order was ready (they didn't). For ~$15 I think it's pretty good for a healthy option! Salads at restaurants are usually $8 for a side salad with no protein or I've seen $14 without protein + $6 to add protein, so this pricing feels just right! I ordered a blazing bird salad and the steak supreme salad. Also was able to save $2.25 by removing green onion and cranberries. The steak supreme salad was tangier than I was expecting. I think I'll get the other steak salad option next time.

I ordered the chicken tikka masala, the crazy curry fries, and a mango lassi. I was fully knocked out. The chai at the register is also so delicious and free, you should definitely grab some if you can! It's piping hot and perfectly spiced. The chicken tikka masala itself comes with a delicious flaky naan that's similar to Chinese scallion pancake. It pairs perfectly with the dish itself. The crazy curry fries were also so good and saucy. I was so happy that we were splitting this dish six ways, because I would not have any space to try it had I gone individually. My friend got the Tikka Burger, and he was knocked OUT. It looked so amazing and smelled divine. We also got the yogurt dip to share, and it was so savory and creamy. I'd recommend this to anyone in the area who wants to try some amazing Pakistani food.

While you're waiting for your food, they have complimentary chai near the cash register. The inside has ample seating and there's also lit outdoor seating as well too. The parking lot is on the smaller side, but there's also street parking as well! About 10 or so minute wait for the food. Happy with my experience overall!
