I've been coming to Kabab House for over five years now, and they never disappoint! They recently updated their menu, and the new additions are fantastic. As a vegetarian, it can sometimes be tough to find really good Mediterranean food, but their veg options are always top-notch, super flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. Everything is cooked to order and served fresh every single time. The space itself is welcoming and comfortable, but what really keeps us coming back is the hospitality--the staff is consistently warm and attentive. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Mediterranean food, I can't recommend this spot enough!

We were familiar with The Kebab Shop from Fremont. But it has been a long time since we have eaten at one. You order one meat option and it comes with two sides and half portion of pita bread. We got a bunch of different ones to share and try. Portion sizes are pretty good. This is what we ordered: Lamb and beef Shawarma - this one is quite tasty. It's your classic thin sliced meat off the rotating skewer that made Kebab Shop famous. Can't go wrong with it! Saffron rice - this rice side was well done. Texture was nice with a good hint of saffron and basmati flavors. Goes well with everything. Grilled veggies - small pieces of zucchini and squash. Not a lot of flavor and kinda soggy. But it's nice to have a healthy side option. Grilled Moroccan shrimp skewers - pretty good fresh shrimp with a nice crunch. DH said it was a little too spicy. It had a sweet chili marinade with a good amount of smokiness. Really delicious with the garlic yogurt sauce. Grilled chicken - lots of flavor on this one with the marinade and the char, however, these are white meat chunks, so it did end up a little dry. Probably okay if you eat it fresh. I liked it with the cilantro sauce. Tabbouleh was very tasty. Lots of nice bright lemon flavors and the texture was pretty good. Not too soggy and not too dry. It has less parsley than what I am used to, but I would definitely get this one again. Falafel were nice and crispy. Middle was moist. They did a good job with these! Fries were crispy and tasted fine. They're regular fries, but not special. Side of hummus comes with some pita bread. Their hummus is very thick. Flavor profile is right in the middle. I might jazz it up by adding a bit of fancy EVOO. Goes really well with their thick pita bread. My favorite sauce was the garlic yogurt sauce. This one is tangy, creamy, and not that spicy with just a little hint of garlic. My least favorite sauce was the dill yogurt sauce. This one was incredibly sweet and I did not think it needed to be. I also liked the spicy cilantro sauce. DH likes to use cilantro jalapeño sauce with the chicken. He likes garlic yogurt and fire chili sauce mixed together for the shawarma. DH ordered online and said it was ready one minute before the expected pick up time. They will text you when your order is ready. The employee was nice and the shop was clean. we would definitely try this place again.

Came here on a Sunday night and I really enjoyed the meal with a few hiccups. Ordering via the kiosk was efficient, but by the time I ordered, I realized they had already cleaned up and closed the Sauce Bar at 8pm even though they close at 9. Portions were big but the sauces felt a bit skimpy compared to how much food you get, and the chicken leaned slightly on the dry side. That said, the "fire hummus" truly lived up to its name -- had a great kick without being overwhelming, and I loved pairing it with the crispy pita. I was actually really excited to try the truffle rice, but my order got mixed up and I ended up with saffron rice instead. It was still good, just not what I was craving, so a little disappointing there. Nevertheless, it's still a satisfying spot with bold flavors and huge portions.

Stopped by The Kebab Shop and really enjoyed it. The food tasted fresh and flavorful, and it didn't leave you feeling sluggish at all, just satisfying. Service was friendly and quick, and the spot had a casual, welcoming vibe. Prices were fair for the quality you get. Solid 4/5 stars, definitely a good go-to for a fresh, tasty meal in Pleasanton.

Food is yummy!! Service is good and the guy is help me out as fantastic.. The place is clean and organized..

A fantastic meal...

Even For being a chain, the food was absolutely excellent! I was staying in a motel in Livermore, and fortunately their Pleasanton store delivered via DoorDash. I decided to go with the grains bowl. Grilled chicken tenderloin, saffron rice, greens, cucumber, tomato, their OG yogurt sauce, with feta cheese and pita crumbles on top. I also had a pita on the side. The bowl also came with I believe it was a tzatziki and another container of their OG sauce on the side. They were wonderful. Some of that I put extra on the bowl, some of it I used to dip the pita. They also gave me. A cup of their jalapeño cilantro hummus. It tasted good, but it had too much of a "kick" for me. It's absolutely fine, there was more than enough of the other sauces. The food was amazing. A large portion, the chicken was tender and grilled to perfection. It Had just a little bit of a char on it that added to the flavor. The saffron rice was tender and had a wonderful, savory flavor, and the veggies, feta, pita chips, and the sauce, just played very well together. The extra pita was tender and delicious. For dessert, I had a "killer brownie". It was a half brownie and half Blondie, and It had chocolate chips and M&Ms on top The brownie was wonderfully rich, and the Blondie kept it from being too rich. It was a bit soft in the middle for my personal taste, but I know that everybody is different. I still liked it a lot. Even with the DoorDash fees, the price was reasonable. I want to try more things from here. Thank you.

I can't believe I've lived here for 5 years and never came here, especially after hearing so many…read moregreat things about it! I'm so happy I finally tried it before they move locations, even if it is only across the street. We tried lots of food and almost everything made me want to come back again. Mezze platter (10/10): Everything on this platter was amazing. The basil shrimp was so fresh and bouncy with a nice grilled flavor. The pumpkin borani with the yogurt sauce on top was the star of the show for me. The garlic hummus was one of the best hummus I've tried because they really don't skimp on the garlic! The dolmathes were more standard compared to the rest, but this platter is still a must get for a group, even though it was just the two of us. Spicy beef cigar rolls (10/10): The flavor was amazingggg and they were so crispy. As an Asian, it felt like a unique version of an eggroll to me, and the tzatziki was the perfect complement. I will get this dish every time. Koobideh kabob platter (9.5/10): Amazing spices and cooked so well. The spicy harissa was nice, although I wouldn't get extra sauce next time since our appetizers already came with similar sauces we could use. The crispy potato wedges were crispy, but just okay and felt a little plain compared to all of their other dishes. Oasis curry (7.5/10): This was good and reminded me of a thinner butter chicken. I'm not sure if it is traditional or more of a fusion dish, but it was good nonetheless. It does feel like you can get similar curry elsewhere, so for two people I could skip this next time and save stomach space for more of the different yummy options! Baklava (6.5/10): This was the only dish that disappointed me although the flavors were on point. It was soggy and soft (rather than crispy and flaky) and tasted old. The sweetness was perfect though and I hope it was just a bad day for this.

Oasis Grille & Wine Lounge has quickly become one of my favorite spots. I've visited several times,…read moreand each experience has been consistently excellent. I've tried a range of dishes -- the rack of lamb, lamb shank, chicken kabob, fresh bread with dipping sauce, and the unforgettable beef cigars. The beef cigars are a standout and something I now consider essential every visit. Although I don't typically order lamb, the rack of lamb on my first visit was exceptional. I returned with my husband and ordered the lamb shank, which was equally delicious. Even my husband, who is a very selective eater, enjoyed everything we tried. The restaurant is lively during dinner but surprisingly quiet at lunch, which makes me think more people need to discover how great the food is. The menu is well‑priced, and while the drinks lean toward the higher end, they're crafted well and worth it. Service has always been attentive, and the atmosphere is uniquely adaptable -- it feels like everyone settles into their own vibe and enjoys the space in their own way. Oasis is absolutely a place worth returning to.

It's been a couple of years since we last ate at Sultan's Kebab, but thanks to an Uber Eats promo,…read morewe decided to give them another shot last week. One order turned into two orders in less than a week, so clearly, things escalated quickly. My spouse ordered the spicy lamb shawarma wrap and loved it. The lamb was tasty, and the spice had just the right kick to keep things interesting. I went with the chicken kebab platter, which came with FOUR skewers of big, juicy chicken cubes. Seriously, those chicken chunks were delicious! My platter came with rice, pita, hummus, and a side salad. The rice and kebabs were so satisfying that I was too full to give the pita and hummus the attention they deserved. Sorry, pita. Maybe next time. The salad dressing, on the other hand, wasn't our thing, so unfortunately, the salad didn't make the cut. Naturally, we returned last night because apparently, one successful kebab night wasn't enough. My spouse ordered the same lamb shawarma wrap (when you know what you like, you stick with it), while I switched things up with the salmon kebab platter. It came with two skewers of generously sized salmon cubes. The salmon was a little dry from grilling, but still tasty overall. I also ordered an individual lamb kebab and an individual chicken kebab. Both were good, but the meat portions seemed a little on the small side compared with the platters. Which brings me to my biggest takeaway from this whole kebab adventure: GET. THE. PLATTER. The portions are generous, the meat is delicious, and you get enough food to make you question whether you really needed that pita and hummus after all. The individual kebabs just didn't feel like as good a deal. Two orders in one week, and Sultan's Kebab has officially made its way back into our regular rotation. Uber Eats may have introduced us again, but the kebabs are what will bring us back. Five stars for the food, the generous platters, and giving us a very good reason to loosen our belts.

The Kebak Plate and the Chicken Plate are both very delicious…read more Prices range from $18 to $24 depending on meat or seafood. The plates are huge, I could only finish half of my plate. Service was excellent. They bring you your plate. And at the cashier was very friendly. Very nice huge store. Clean and simple decor. Will come again. Parking was easy.

Have you ever tasted something so delicious that you literally start doing an inner dance?!…read more We recently had Gotta Eatta Pita catered for a team meeting. We all enjoyed it! I noticed that this location was conveniently located in Pleasanton and couldn't wait to pick some up for a large dinner gathering. There was plenty of parking. The platter is great- you get to choose your sides and meat or falafel. I chose the chicken. Came with fresh pita bread and the most amazing melt-in-your-mouth hummus!! Picked up some extras and some yogurt sauce. The young man who helped me was very patient and friendly. The restaurant was easy to find, clean and lively. I am so glad to have visited!

I didn't typically go for middle eastern food. It can be bland. I thought the reviews were decent so I thought it was okay to try. Boy do I regret it. For this being similar to a chipotle the prices are OUTRAGEOUS. I could have gotten a pasta dish at an expensive restaurant for just a few more dollars. I got the 50/50 bowl with falafel and chicken. Couscous as my base, light greens, Tabbouleh, cucumber dill salad, cabbage, eggplant, tzatziki sauce, hummus and pickles. It was extra for Feta and olives which I opted out of. It was $18.86. The falafel was good. It has a strong citrus and cilantro flavor which paired well with the tzatziki sauce. The eggplant, the cabbage, the Tabbouleh, the cucumber salad all desperately needed flavor. Everything was so bland. A pinch of salt and lemon would have made the world of difference. I just couldn't taste anything besides plain bland vegetables and garlic. The falafel paired well with these components but bc it was a 50/50 bowl I only received 3. The chicken was terrible. No flavor at all. The issue is that bc I didn't opt for the ridiculously expensive add ons, which would have made this a $22 meal, the meal was BLAND. The chicken DESPERATELY needs the salty olives and feta. However for fast food that comes in a bowl I just could not justify paying extra for something and it's even more appalling that the dish NEEDS the add-ons. I'm from out of town (Tucson, AZ). I understand that the influence of local culture is going to impact ethnic cuisine. Maybe people in this area don't like seasonings or spice or salt. Either way, this was a terrible waste of $18. If you're someone who likes balanced nuanced flavors, this is not the place to go. If you know you like this kind of food, I'm still not sure this is the place to go.
