It was okay. Everything we ordered was fine. Nothing we'd every return to eat as being super delicious We ordered the gyro and the veggie moussaka. They oddly serve the moussaka over a huge pile of rice The gyro is made with lavish bread, and we prefer a pita bread The people working here are extremely nice and the food came out fast We came here after seeing a play at Aurora theater. 'The Lifespan of a Fact,' It was very good read more

Food is always AMAZING, staff are very friendly and provide timely service. The restaurant is quaint and kept very clean with a big bright colorful menu board to make ordering easy. Highly reccomend!! read more

I will be honest my boyfriend and I love this place, the food is delicious and extra and the family that own it always have such a friendly, jovial vibe. The atmosphere is an average little joint, but we always have such a good experience and the food so scrumptious we've returned often! The Mezze Plate comes with a thick yogurt sauce, and cooked beets, the humus is extra creamy (I don't known what they add that is different, but it's extra). And round that out with Babaganoush, Dolmas, and a new one for me Ezme a spicy Turkish spread recipe with tomatoes, spicy green peppers, and red pepper paste, then falafel, and pita. We usually get that and a Shish Kabab, chicken or salmon, and share. The latter comes with a green salad and fluffy, seasoned rice. So we get everything with the two dishes. Their creamy lentil soup is also rich and a perfect recipe. And we always get their healthy and strong ginger honey tea. read more

"Best Mediterranean in Berkeley"? They might be found up there! Rojbas Grill is a Mediterranean joint located on University Avenue. A friend and I wanted to check for nearby food areas from the UC Berkeley campus and we discovered this place after some deliberation. We enjoy what Mediterranean has to offer, so we were excited about checking it out. We arrived at 11:05AM (5 minutes after opening). I got myself the Falafel Plate ($12.95) and my friend got himself the Lamb Beef Wrap ($10.50). We got our order in 10 minutes. The Falafel Plate presents itself with 4 falafel pieces, 4 pita bread, tzatziki, yellow hummus, tabbouleh, and beets. Overall, I find the quality of ingredients to be very remarkable. The tabbouleh has the right amount of acidity and zip, especially with lemon juice sprinkled. The hummus is runnier than what I'm used to, but it still has that signature chickpea taste with tumeric notes and sumac seasoning. The tzatziki is creamy and works nicely with the pita bread and the falafels. The beets were cooked well and sweet to the taste. My only gripe is found in the falafels. They could use more salt and spices since they were getting overpowered by the other side items. Still, they gave off a nice steam when you first bite into it and they were cooked to perfection. My friend is not one to comment on his eating experience all too much, but he thought his lamb and beef wraps were good. The portions for him were standard, and the meat had great taste and texture. Phenomenal service. One of the workers was very open to talk about the food they serve there, and even gave us complimentary tea, brewed and steeped in-house. I am not sure if the tea is something every sit-down customer will receive, but I will say it is some of the best brewed black tea I have ever tried and that if you are fortunate enough to receive it, you will see what I mean. Rojbas Grill made my friend's Berkeley morning all the nicer as it made my morning nicer. I felt comfortable the entire time eating there, and I think it really deserves more attention from the locals. Please check it out! read more

This restaurant is a welcome surprise. My husband and I dined at this modest Kurdish grill last night. We ordered gyro plates and they were delicious. The meat was tender and well seasoned, the rice fluffy, and the salad and hummus made with care. For the price, the portions were very ample and exceeded our expectations. The waiter and staff were very attentive and friendly. Thank you, Rojbas Grill for good food and a pleasant experience. read more

The Gyro wrap couldn't be more Mid pack. Avoid it. Only upside is it's kinda healthy. On the other hand, the Baklava was something SPECIAL

Rude cashier. Food was okay not the best but the service... I wouldn't came here again. Vibe was old school.

Great quality Mediterranean food at reasonable prices. Can't say enough about the quality. Just really good and satisfying. I'm looking forward to my next visit which I think is one of the best compliments you can give as a Yelper! This was an accidental visit for me since the place I had planned to go to was closed, but I'm hoping if you read this, it won't be an accidental visit for you. FOOD: Yum. Gyros platter was exceptionally good. The rice pilaf was better than average (but didn't seem to have those little noodles that most pilaf has). I love that the gyros was sliced thinner and that increased the flavor. The tzatziki (did I spell that right?) was much better than most (less cucumber-y). We ordered fries and hummus and the fries were double-fried and done very well. Tasty and crispy with soft insides. Hummus was smooth and creamy but thick enough to really dig your pita into it. Salad was okay. Kind of wish it had a different dressing (a little blah) but grateful for salad! SERVICE: I love that it is done fresh. A small wait but worth it. Packaging in biodegradable containers would be better. Service at the restaurant (all take out during COVID-19) was nice and helpful. And the menu has stuff I really want to try. Yum. COST: A little high for the amount you get, but not unreasonable at all. I appreciated the quality so much I'm willing to pay for it again. read more

Great food. Friendly staff, I would probably take the food to go but they have seating inside.

Rojbas Grill - Beyti Kebab Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Berkeley, California

Recently eaten at Ronna's Grill! I got the Alexander Plate, and we also sampled some of the Kunefe. The alexander plate was decent, though the sauce seemed like a typical marinara sauce rather than the tomato paste based sauce i'm used to. The Kunefe was with just the right ratio of cheese to syrup that made it addicting as hell. The service was warm and friendly! Food 6/10 Service 8/10 read more

Mediterranean Yum! Super friendly service. A local, casual, dine in or take-out place across from Trader Joe's. Our son raved about it; so we came here during his work break for a quick lunch; while we were visiting from Miami. Great food with excellent service. We shared the olive feta, tomato and salad appetizer. I ordered a dish with nicely cooked salmon in a tomato-based sauce with spinach; came with rice, salad. Nice blend of tasty flavors. Hubby got the falafel platter and son got a lamb and meat gyro dish that came with salad and rice and yogurt/cucumber on side. Yum! All tasty and great portion sizes/food-a-plenty. For dessert we ordered Kunefe which is a sweet shredded filo dough stuffed with salt-less cheese and pistachio soaked in their homemade syrup -- delightful. Highly recommend. read more

Nice spot for some mediterranean food! The chicken was moist and well seasoned. Overall won't blow your mind, but does the job if you have a craving! Pricey as a whole, but yummy! read more

Great service! Love the food! Clean and neat! The people are friendly and kind! Definitely coming back again!

Overall pretty good local spot, I like that it's right by trader joes and a dog park I frequent! Typical from a place like this i got a gyro along with some fries and wanted to try one of their dipping sauces. Everything was pretty decent but i did want some more sumac on the fries for more flavor and their hot sauce wasn't actually hot, it was sweet. Aside from that I think it was reasonable time for take out and pretty happy with what I got. Probably come back if in the neighborhood and feel like another wrap. read more

Food is good but the portion is small especially the plates unless you go for the combo plate.

Got a takeout lunch here for work. The waitstaff was SO NICE. Even though my coworker and I ordered takeout, they brought us glass cups with hot tea to drink while we were waiting for our orders. That was incredibly sweet of them. It's a small, cozy space, and I would have liked to have a sit down meal here sometime. I'm a sucker for baklava, and they offer 2 pieces for $3.95. Not bad! Since I really enjoy baklava, my coworker recommended that I get spanakopita. It's like baklava, but instead of a sweet dessert, it's savory, with spinach it in. This was a great recommendation. A savory baklava for lunch, and a sweet baklava for dessert? I'm down! My coworker got a chicken lunch special. She also requested hot sauce, which the staff kindly put on the side for her. In about 10 minutes our orders were ready. Thanks for the great service! read more

The gyro wraps are more like burritos than gyros because of the lavash. They would have been better on a pita. The beef and lamb was flavorful but needed a little more seasoning. The chicken was okay but if I hadn't been told it was a gyro, I would have just thought I was eating a chicken burrito. 3.5 stars. 15 minutes for take-out on a Sunday and the food was ready right on time. read more

Loved the warm tea and the minty water. Got a combo plate to share with my daughter. Food was plentiful for our appetites, meats were flavorful & tasty, the salad and the yogurt sauce was very fresh, the pita bread was toasty, and the cook/server was very nice and accommodating! Thank you Rojbas Grill! read more

Casual Mediterranean restaurant located in downtown Berkeley. Came across wanting a gyro and found this place with high ratings. It's a family owned operation with a very small interior. There's a few tables only for approximately less than 10 people to sit at. Mediterranean cuisine is served here from wraps, starters, dips, salads, and plates. Order at the front and the cashier will bring you the food to your table. Lamb and beef gyro wrap here was quite filling but lacked a lot of ingredients. Felt super plain. I think what else was wrong is that it was made with lavash bread. Wasn't a fan of it at all. The Spanakopita which is a spinach pie with layers of buttered filo pastry filled with spinach, onion, feta and fresh herbs was super good. I preferred that side over the wrap itself. Fast service. I give props for that. Also everything is made fresh. Cooked to order. read more

This place was solid! Came here on a whim and didn't do my usual Yelp stalking ahead of time. Covid procedures were good, there was sanitizer by the entrance and a plexiglass shield protecting the cashier. The wraps were good, it was super long and filled with veggies. Perfect if you're trying to be healthy. I think the one thing missing for me was some tzatziki sauce. I didn't know the wraps don't have that in it. read more

It's ok. Got take out from here twice. Photos from the restaurant. Our takeout was not nearly as attractive.

Wonderful food. Growing uo in Europe, i can say it is Just like the Greeks make it. Loved the falafels, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, sauces with it very good. Great tabouli. My husband had the lamb gyro and loved it. Simple restaurant, nice service. read more

We went to dine in on a Friday. Food was tasty and service was great. This is a very casual and small restaurant so don't expect anything fancy.

We could tell there are a lot of regulars. read more

Fantastic food as always! My wife and I often eat here because the food is consistently delicious! Also wanted to give an extra shout out to Rojbas for handling a 31 meal order for us! It was ready to pick up AT its opening business hours (meaning, staff arrived to work earlier than usual to cook/prepare it for us). Fantastic service and overall good experience!!!! I'll always recommend Rojbas to others!!! A+++++++++++++++ read more

This place hit the spot and 5/5 I'll be back! I had the gyro combo which is typically my go-to for any Mediterranean place. The rice (yellow) was probably my favorite and over all everything was great. Next time I'll give one of the wraps a try. read more

First time at the Rojbas Grille. The good news first: We ordered French fries and they were tasty, as was the Greek salad. But things went downhill quickly from there. I ordered a chicken kabab, but they delivered a lamb kabab. My lamb arrived in the form of tough, overcooked little meat cubes on two skimpy little skewers. Not impressive. My dining companion ordered a beef/lamb gyro. Now, you'd think if a Greek restaurant could get anything right at all, it would be a gyro, right? Not so. Instead of a gyro, they served what was tantamount to a burrito or grilled chicken wrap. It was served in a tortilla, not pita bread. There was no tzatziki sauce. No traditional gyro flavor. But wait... There was a small jar of very spicy, hot Chile sauce on the table. It made no sense. The service was friendly and the people running the place seemed nice. Still, the place has such a downmarket, depressing vibe, it was hard to think about anything other than wanting to leave as soon as possible. Looking at many other reviews posted here, it seems like most people think the place is great. I'm happy for the owners. We must've just gone on a bad night. read more

This place saved us! What a great spot with an amazing staff! SETTING: Came to visit Berkeley and we were told about this place. Right on a main intersection and very easy to access. Inside is pretty clean and well put together. Place can fit around 30 people max inside, but it seems most people order food to go. SERVICE: Amazing. These guys served our party of 16 people in no time. I called ahead and told them that we are coming to eat there and they had no problem accommodating us. The chef seems to be the owner, he was very welcoming and made sure we had a great time there. He even came out and gave all of us tea on the house. Great service for such short number of staff. FOOD: We ordered 3 family deals here. The food was enough to feed all of us. The family meal came with salad and a large platter of a mix of meats. The gyro and steak were my favorite. The hummus here was really good as well. We really enjoyed the food! Average per person: $15-$25 depending how hungry you are. FIRE! See you soon!!! read more
