Nothing special, the salad was right the rice was garlicky, and did come with pita bread and a water, but that's kind of expected for $20 at a takeout place. The hummus was a little thin and I definetely tasted the tahini. Was a lot faster this time. But something just didn't convince me it was worth $20.

My Burma downtown is doing the most in the best way--great location, solid vibes, and service that actually feels like they want you there (rare, honestly). Everything is super veg-friendly with plenty of swaps and mods, which I always appreciate because some places act like removing meat is a personal insult. Fun fact: Burmese cuisine is one of the only Southeast Asian cuisines where fermented tea leaves (yes, edible tea salad energy) are a legit staple. Would absolutely come back, preferably hungry again so I can over-order like I have no self control.

my family finished our meal in under 30 minutes LOL everything tasted vaguely comforting/familiar…read moreand each dish had a unique depth of flavors. this cuisine is generally family-style aka pick one dish per person but everyone shares the dishes. appetizer took five mins and food came out about ten minutes after that. the restaurant itself is nice for a family sit-down but not too formal as the chefs are cooking within view and it is high energy inside. lettuce wraps: we got shrimp, flavor was good and it was about 10 pieces of lettuce, so enough for 4 pineapple fried rice: nothing crazy, a little oily, but definitely good mango shrimp: a little sweet for my liking and i didn't like the herbs - very fragrant and good. broccoli was undercooked/hard tho lamb curry: a little tough but flavor was pretty good, there was a lot of meat but you have to get a side to get through all of it eggplant curry: the skin on the eggplant was very hard and unpleasant (wish it was charred or something), eggplant insides were soft and the curry itself tasted good. dry cooked chicken: super tender chicken pieces, a lot of vegetables, slight coconut flavor, definitely my favorite & highly recommend

Really a 4.5, but I haven't had the best luck of eating in Davis, so this place was a great stop on…read morethe way to the Bay from Truckee. Cheapish eats, chip and salsa bar, quick and fresh food. There is both indoor seating and outdoor seating and it's located on the cutest street. The fish and shrimp tacos were great and filling, topped with so much crunchy cabbage, hiding the protein, but it was there. The flautas were delicious and the steak tacos had big, juicy bites of steak. The guac was weak (not an order but what came with flautas). It was more of a thick avocado salsa. Props to the great beer options - with some local varieties from Davis. We went when school was out for summer and it was still quite busy for dinner. I imagine during school days, it's packed. I see why this is on so many of the Yelp top places to eat: it's a great value with large portions and good eats.

Okay... this one didn't quite hit for me. I was glad to see a vegan burrito option, but the rest…read morejust didn't land. Our "guac" came out as a large, runny scoop with more of a pico vibe than actual guacamole... not a fan. It was even served on a plate instead of a bowl which felt a little off. Chips are self-serve from the salsa bar, horchata tasted like a premix, iced tea was fine, and only one salsa had any real heat. It was super busy with college kids so clearly it's a popular spot. Service was genuinely great though, very attentive, and the salsa bar was actually spotless which I appreciated. Nothing was bad, nothing was memorable either... just kind of meh.

*** Vegetarian Review ***…read more Saw them on Good Day Sac (May 28) promoting $5 National Burger Day. They had all their burgers displayed, including the Impossible. We changed our lunch plans only to get turned away at the counter. When we ordered, the counter staff said he didn't think it was included in promotion. He went back to talk to the manager and said ... "The promotion doesn't include Impossible because of the price difference." We explained we saw the promotion piece on Good Day Sac and all their burgers were showcased, never mentioning Impossible was excluded. "We can't do it" So, we left. I looked at the promotional poster on the way out and the small print doesn't show any exclusions either, but didn't feel in the National Burger Mood any longer. Taco Wednesday at the nearby Dos Coyote. As much as I want to support local businesses, the lack of simple communication between ownership/employees to anticipate vegetarians might want to participate really bugs the heck out of me so we won't be coming back. Plus, the last time we came here, they messed up our order. Fries instead of tater tots. And no side sauces. Wishing them well.

Food: 5/5 The breakfast burrito was amazing. My friend had said it was the spot she frequented back…read morein college and was really hyping it up. We stopped by and it does not disappoint. The burrito was extremely hot when it first came out so you might need a sec before you start eating it. I'm not the biggest fan of breakfast options but this breakfast burrito blew my expectations out the water. The sweetness of the honey really cuts through the heaviness of the rest of the burrito. Extremely tasty no notes. Definitely a must try :)) Service: not much to say, was pretty much self service Ambiance: very casual, great for lunch, next to Davis college campus

Got one of their famous breakfast burritos to eat in the Arb since I'd been recommended this…read moreburrito for a while now. It's the kind of hangover food you'll only find in a college town. Stuffed with fries, gyro meat, hot honey, eggs, cheese, Tapatío, and bacon, it's complete gluttony in the best way. Honestly one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. The eggs are fluffy, the potatoes are both crisp and soft, and the fatty gyro meat and bacon add the perfect savory flavor to the burrito. The hot honey and Tapatío bring a sweet and spicy combo that makes it feel unique while still balanced. The inside was bustling even on a holiday weekend, but takeout was made easy with the kiosk setup. At only $11 and ready in under five minutes, it's hard to ask for much more.

I've tried a lot of different things on the menu but my go-to order is the Bleu Cheese Burger with Curly Fries and ranch. Every time I have someone visiting I take them here to get a burger and a beer and it never disappoints! They can get pretty busy but they have great service and they have a nice patio with heaters. It's also nice because it's in a good location across from the park and you can get frozen yogurt afterwards next door.

Everything so delicious love all the outside seating. I'm not sure if it's like this every day but…read moreI went on a weekday and you order up at the counter they give you a number and you sit down. They have menus easily accessible right outside for you to look through. They have tons of choices, I just got the classic cheeseburger with pepper jack. He had the avocado burger. We ordered medium well since we don't like the pink in it when it comes to burgers anyway. The service was good and friendly. The prices were pretty normal. I like that you get a choice between french fries or salad. Of course we both chose french fries though lol. Each table already has ketchup, salt, and pepper. I like that there was just water that you can refill up yourself so you didn't have to be left waiting and can drink as much water as you want. They had a good selection of beers and it was a nice casual atmosphere. Wasn't too crowded, but I'm sure that might be because I went during a weekday afternoon. It was hot, but they had sprayers and fans going, which is nice. And although wasn't complete full sit down service, the workers still checked on us which I felt that means that they genuinely care about their customers. Now, the food! The burger was cooked perfectly with the right amount of char on the outside and still moist and juicy on the inside. The pepper jack cheese was melted, and the burger was seasoned well. All the vegetables were fresh, crispy clean lettuce. I felt like the pickle they either made it themselves or they get it from somebody handmade. And the buns also tasted homemade. We were both impressed with our burgers, however, the avocado burger, which he got had a lot of mayonnaise on it. So just a heads up they do put pretty much all the condiments on the burger so just make sure to specify what you want or don't want condiment wise when ordering. As far as parking, it's downtown so it's a lot easier to walk or bike to this location. However, there is some parking around the block and by the park - you just need to be aware of signs. I really feel like this place can host multiple different kinds of going out. We went out for a casual afternoon date, but of course there's families there, friends getting together, small groups of two or maybe even just one person and of course, larger groups were there too. I can see it being a kind of a cool date spot for more casual kind of date and of course I can see this being used as like family gatherings so I like that it's very versatile . We will definitely be back! I especially need to try more of their brews

Stop by for lunch today with the family. We got the falafel platter and the gyro platter so that we…read morecould share. With the student discount and a drink our total came out to about $30, which I think is a pretty good deal. I have to agree with a lot of the comments here in saying that the falafel is really good. The falafel was nice and moist, not dry at all and that perfect balance of like crumbly, but still able to maintain it shape. It appeared really well with the rice and the sauce. Speaking of which, sauces. They do not skip. My only complaint about the platter is that there aren't a ton of veggies/salad, but that's really not that big of a deal. The veggies are pretty good though, they've got a sauce and seasoned well. The gyro platter itself was pretty good, I actually really liked that the meat isn't shaved, rather it's cubed. It makes the meat feel and taste a lot more tender and juicy, as I find the shaved meat can run a little dry. Not much to say about service or ambience, as I wasn't really there for that or really paying attention. The person that was running the register was kind enough. I totally forgot until after we had ordered that they are known for their burgers. Will stop by at a later date to give that a try and update the review.

These two definitely cheaper and better to go to than Royal Kabob. Falafel Corner is more take-outey less homey vibes, less vegetables. Hummus has less rich taste, but as a non Middle Eastern person I think it's still authentic, just more take out vibe. Compared to Sam's, less bread but good especially when hot, no red sauce, more meat, less vegetables, less flavorful rice. I like Sam's better, but I understand the high reviews and would bring others here.

As a former UC Davis student and current Davis resident, it's crazy to see how far Shaws has come!…read moreI remember when Shaws and star Ginger were the only food trucks on campus and it was such a great meal at a good deal. Now they have their own storefront with a ton more options to customize your meal, and more options and things to order overall. The storefront is not huge, but I don't think it needs to be. It's clean and pretty well organized. The service is also fine. I ordered a combo rice bowl and was glad to be able to add extra toppings like tomatoes in the such. Now, the one thing that they don't do like the old truck used to do is load up with sauce. The old truck used to drown your bowl in sauce whereas now they're a little more conservative, but I imagine you could ask for more if you wanted more. The bowl itself tasted good. It's not going to be the best Halal food that you'll get in Davis or anywhere else in the world, but it tasted nostalgic, and I really enjoyed the whole thing. My husband who is currently on campus more than I am noted that the storefront gives you more food than the food truck at the silo. He also said that the food tasted better here.
