The food here is great im coming back here now i just moved to Berkeley this is going to be my go to spot.

I am hooked on this place. I come here at least once a week. I love the Chicken Gyro Plate and Falafel. If you dine in, definitely try the Ginger and Honey tea! read more

This is a gem of a place! Ordered -Mezza plate (myself) -Lamb & Beef Gyro (SO) -Salmon Kebab plate (DD) -Caesar salad All dishes were delicious. Left feeling happy and glad to have found this place! Will definately be returning. read more

Apologies for the bad pictures, but wow that food is great! The portions are pretty big, which makes sense for the price. I usually order the grilled veggies side and make two meals out of it! That grilled eggplant with the lamb and red sauce is like one of the best bites in Berkeley! Honestly, I think I have Rojbas about once a month. Seriously try it out, their seasonings and everything is just bomb! read more

Kobani/Rojbas used to be our go-to place for good Mediterranean food! The last three times were unacceptable! Burnt to a crisp (see picture) then raw undercooked, then burnt again (see picture)! They refused to refund me after spending $77 on this inedible food! Thank God GrubHub refunded me! Do yourself a favor and leave this place ASAP! The most inconsistent restaurant in the east bay! The rice is white one day, yellow the next...the hummus was even yellow when it's usually lighter... so inconsistent it's not even funny! Who runs this muck of a place! read more

Rojbas Grill - Burnt! Rojbas went downhill fast! - Mediterranean Near Me - Berkeley, California

The young gentleman in the register is such an amazing worker. He is so attentive to his customers. His customer service is amazing I would rate him a 10. Also, the food there is SOOO GOOD. super flavorable and fresh. If you're in berkeley or anywhere around there and want to try mediterranean food for the first time i recommend you try this place. read more

A solid casual mediterranean eats spot. Decor is defintely bare minumum style. Menu consists of gyro meats, wraps, plates and so on. $14 for a plate which consisted of a bed of rice pilaf, topped with chicken gyro meat (a nice sized potion), a side salad and some white sauce. A warmed pita is served on the side. Do ask for hot sauce as it's not given automatically on to-go orders. Solid! Definitely not the most flavorful, but if you're hungry and jonesing for something non-Asian and somewhat healthy-ish, this is a solid bet! read more

Having just moved to Berkeley, on the bus to my summer program at Cal seeing this joint on the corner of University and MLK caught my eye; where I am from (Petaluma) there is a lone Turkish restaurant I used to frequent quite often. Seeing Kurdish on the sign intrigued me - I was curious to see the variation from what was considered 'Turkish' cuisine, or dare I say 'Greek' cuisine (never went over too well at the restaurant back in P-town). Arrived around 11:30am and it was empty - ordered to-go and the food was ready very quickly. Was served a glass of black tea on the house while I was waiting. I ordered the appetizer kibbeh on referral from a friend in Stockholm who is familiar with this kind of cuisine. They're basically like meatballs but with ground lamb surrounded by a bread coating. It came with a sweet white sauce that went over well to start. Very hearty and good way to start off the meal. Score one for the Swede in terms of recommendations. For the entrée, I wanted to get something different than the typical lamb and beef doner kebab that I was used to back home. With that in mind, I found it hard to differentiate between Turkish and Kurdish (and Greek) food. I ordered the Adana kebab wrap. While the wrap was not as big as the ones I used to get back home, it was cheaper by a couple dollars. The meat inside reminded me of kofte kebab (it prob was) and it came with a little side of red hot sauce which was pretty decent. Not very spicy even though it is advertised as such. A bit of a mild kick. Lastly, I chose to order Kunefe, or Knafeh. This Middle Eastern desert uses the same bread as baklava, but shredded with a thin piece of cheese running through the middle and topped with pistachios. Once again, it was good, with the top being more firm and the bottom being chewy and sweet. Overall, the meal came out to just over $30, and it was pretty much just right for me in terms of portion size. Berkeley has a ton of ethnic food options, but I felt like this place does a pretty good job of standing out, as evidenced by the myriad of empty ex-ethnic food storefronts in the surrounding area. Ideal place to get a quick meal if you're feeling like kebab. Only negative to me was that I was hoping for a little bit more of a differentiation from traditional Turkish cuisine (Mediterranean foods are all pretty similar it seems so perhaps it's unavoidable). 4.5/5 but I'll round up since Yelp doesn't do half-stars. read more

LOVE this place! Friendly staff, absolutely delicious food (best middle eastern in the Bay Area). And will throw in freebies (desert, tea) every once in a while. read more

Best Mediterranean food in Berkeley. You have to try it! I'm definitely going back for more.

Rojbas Grill uses the same menu Kobani had. just noting.didn't look. place looks essentially the same. ordered off overhead boards. eats: lamb/beef gyro wrap (8.95?) -lavash wrap with lettuce, tomato, onions, tahnini sauce (no leakage noted). -longest wrap encountered, -lamb/beef portions noticed, not skimpy -everything tasted fresh, chili sauce adds a punch.... take outs: -served tea while order was prepared. seldom happens. -pleasant ambience. would dine in if parking could be found. read more

Did I just order the wrong items? Is it because I got it delivered and didn't eat at the restaurant? What happened here? This place has such good reviews... I ordered a few things, since I've never eaten at this restaurant and love Mediterranean food. Initially I was stoked by the size of the serving of hummus because I expected less for the price, BUT then I took out the pita bread and my excitement plummeted. The pita was thin and hard and there were only 4 pieces (so one pita cut into 4). When I ate it I discovered it was also stale and hard. The hummus itself was okay, but certainly nothing to write home about. Pretty bland and runny. The spanakopita is criminal. I've included a picture to show how soggy and sloppy it was. I gave it a bite and the flavor is terrible also. I considered putting it in the oven to crisp it up but the flavor wasn't salvageable. I also got the lamb and beef gyro. When I opened it I was confused by it; it appeared to be wrapped in a tortilla. Oh! It was more of that thin, shitty pita. It was greasy and bland. What a waste. Lastly, the baklava. I like the baklava a lot. I guess that explains why they give you two dinky pieces. One extra star for the baklava. read more

Rojbas has some 5-star elements as well as some 3-star elements. Some items on the menu are great, and others have a lot of room for growth. The short review is that this place is great for a quick lunch if you know what's good, but I would not recommend it for a nice dinner with friends or family. A longer review follows: Their Falafel Plate is incredible. The portion size is very generous, and it tastes great. It's also priced fair, I think it's under 10 bucks. It's also made fresh to order. The Baklava is also a strength. A perfect balance between sweet and buttery, as well as soft and crunchy. In short it tastes fresh. Their salads have some room for growth, however I think it's important again to note the size as well as the price. It's like a $7 salad, add 2 bucks if you want to include falafel. Schwarma is also on point. It's priced well. In fact, a majority of their items are priced to an affordable rate. The wraps are made with tortillas(??) Instead of pita or lavash bread). The King Falafel wrap is exceptionally tasty. It works, it doesn't taste bad or anything. In fact it's pretty great! Just funny because it is a Mediterranean restaurant, so you generally wouldn't expect to see tortillas. As a counterbalance though, they have exceptional service. If you eat in-house, once in awhile they'll give you a free spot of tea which is delicious. Even though this is more of a cafe-Grill, they walk the middle area of restaurant vs. Cafe consistently checking in on tables, as well as keeping the place exceptionally clean in both the back house and the front of house. There's another Mediterranean restaurant up the road, the Oasis. Both locations are pretty similar in taste and expectations. However the reason Oasis gets a 2 or a 3 star, versus Rojbas 4-star rating is the price and service. Food at Oasis is generally like 14 bucks!! For a very basic wrap. So although it's definitely not the best wrap ever, Rojbas only charges like $7 or $8, and it's loaded. I think half the price with the same expectations earns Rojbas an extra star. Plus the people are great! Definitely worth stopping in for some falafel One more tip, unless you're going to eat it right-away, don't bother with the pita bread. It may stale fairly quickly. read more

Went there with no expectations or plan or what to order. Ended up getting lots of food with not one miss on the execution or taste. I highly recommend this as a go to spot. read more

Came here for lunch mid-week and was pleasantly surprised at the friendliness of the employees and quality of my meal. The guy behind the counter was really nice and helpful. I ordered their Kurdish lamb and meat gyro plate special. It was very tasty. Loved how it went with their rice. Enjoyed the nicely sized salad that came with the plate. After we finished our meal, we were given a wee spot of tea to enjoy. Nice touch! I'll be back for sure real soon. Right on the corner of MLK and University. read more

Friendly smiles and fantastic food. Great gyros and falafel. Fast service and an open atmosphere. I appreciate the decor too.

Staff is really friendly and their food is always good. I go often and really like their chicken skewers. I recommend

Good middle eastern food on the most part. Ordered a delivery through uber and they were pretty fast. Chicken kebab was good, but the other meats wasn't, but since I only tried once, will give them a benefit and might like to try again. My order: meat combo plate, baklava. Portions are good enough and the baklava was very nicely done. read more

Rojbas Grill - Meat combo plate: Dont get fooled by the portion size. It had almost a pound of meat with different skewers and kebabs - Mediterranean Near Me - Berkeley, California

Delicious! You can tell how good a restaurant by a simple dish. If can cook really good chicken, everything else will follow. This restaurant did not disappoint. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful, it was one of the best kabobs I have had in a long time. Then the rice. The rice. The amazing rice. So full of flavor and fluffy. I could eat a whole bowl and be in heaven. The salad that comes with the plate is a very nice balanced of acid but compliments and doesn't take away from the food. The portions are generous and the price is fair. I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Our favourite place to visit every weekend! The owner is very friendly and the hummus, falafel wrap, and chicken gyro wrap are the best we've had in Berkeley! 10/10 recommend. read more

Ordered the hummus, combo platter and baklava. All were exceptional. The flavors went perfectly together and I believe I've found a new spot for all my Mediterranean food cravings. Only mad that I've lived here for over a year and just found about this place. I'd love to post photos but the food was gone too fast. read more

I was disappointed. This place has great reviews but I didn't think it was all that great. I had the combo plate which was decent. I also ordered the falafel and it was absolutely horrible. Maybe I came on a bad day considering most of the reviews are so good. I definitely do not recommend. read more

We love this place. They are so friendly and their food is sensational. All the wraps we have had are outstanding, especially the King Style Falafel Wrap. The prices are modest and the portions are generous. Also don't miss the baklava. read more

Went with friends and we all got different types of wraps. I got the falafel wrap and the falafel was a bit dry and bland, so when ordering I recommend getting either the lamb & beef wrap or the the chicken wrap since those were delicious. read more

Had a chicken wrap today and it was very mediocre. Fresh and decent size but very bland. Maybe other dishes are good here but the chicken wrap was not something I'd try again. read more

Rarely do I see a restaurant on Yelp get more than 4 stars and this one had a 4.5 so I decided I HAD to try it out. I was shocked because I was expecting a full-on restaurant but it is a very small fast food type spot. The food, however, was some of the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. I ordered the Falafel wrap and loved every part of it. The falafel was super soft and blended well with the tahini sauce which was also super creamy and tasty. Many times, these wraps can taste super bland with a lack of dressing, but this one definitely didn't disappoint. The pita wrap was also very soft and warm throughout the course of the meal which helped! If you look spicy, don't forget to add the red sauce to each bite of the wrap - it enhances it a lot and gives it even more flavor. For the price I paid, the wrap was fairly big and filling. Definitely a top Mediterranean spot in Berkeley! read more

We got the Adana and lamb kebab plates and they were hands down the best versions I've had in the Bay Area - and having lived in Turkey for a few months, very close to what I had when living there! read more

The food is seriously delicious - I get the lamb wrap and it's by far the best wrap in the area.

I normally don't like Mediterranean but Rojbas Grill converted me. #26 and their hummus is amazing! I can't wait to bring my family and friends read more

Friend and I came here for dinner. The lamb was sooooo good!!!!! Tender and tasty. Great friendly service too. I hope to come here again. Parking a bit of a challenge. There's a pay lot within walking distance. An added bonus to this place is Trader Joe's right across the street. We went there after our outstanding meal. read more

A small spot with very friendly service. Although, I think it's a little overpriced. Food is amazing though! read more

I love Rojbas Grill. The food is very authentic and delicious! Alexander (Iskander) Kebab is on the menu. It may be one of my favorite meals, but isn't found very often in California. They also have Ayran and other items that are worth it, if you have never tried. read more

Excellent Alexander's plate, tasty sides, and friendly staff. Hidden gem. We'll come back.

The food is amazing. The meat is good quality. The best grill I have ever had! The portion is big.

It's inaccurate to call sugar syrup dipped vermicelli as kunafe. Not sure if it was a vegan kunafe missing the cheese.
