Stopped by for lunch and had one of the best beef kebabs I've had in a long time. The meat was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly grilled with just the right amount of char. Every bite was juicy and well-seasoned, and the sides complemented the meal nicely. What really made the experience special was the seating right next to the water. The view was beautiful, especially on sunny days, with a relaxing breeze and peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to sit back and enjoy the meal. Between the delicious food and the waterfront setting, this was a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend the beef kebab if you visit, and definitely try to grab a table by the water if you can! read more

Waterfront Pizza - Beef kebab - Pizza Near Me - Foster City, California

Had lunch today at Waterfront Pizza located at an open air strip shopping center in Foster City. A friend and I had seen its favorable review on Check Please. We submitted our order to the owner/cashier around 2 o'clock. The restaurant has a pleasant outside area next to a calming Bay tributary so we chose to sit under one of the umbrella tables next to the water. As we placed our order upon arrival (2 o'clock) with the cashier/owner, we were told that the dessert, Kunafa, would take some time to prepare. Since this was a favorably reviewed dessert shown on Check Please, we were excited to try it. Once we sat down, the dolma appetizers and shawarmas arrived but our lemonade and ice tea were missing. We had nothing to drink with our appetizer and main course after waiting for twenty minutes so we asked the cashier to send out our beverages. They finally arrivred although we had finished our lunch except for the dessert. Although the restaurant was not busy since it was around 2:45, we noticed that the all male wait staff were sitting outside next to us. None of them seemed motivated to clear out plates or to bring the dessert. Finally, after waiting another ten minutes (3 o'clock), we went to the cashier and asked him to prepare our dessert for takeout. He did so and we took the dessert upon leaving. Observation: the all male wait staff had no one, including the restaurant's owner, coordinating their work as they sat at a nearby table shooting the breeze. This was an epic fail of the restaurant. I only thought that the wait staff were his relatives so he was afraid to motivate them to work Didn't know this for sure but also didn't understand why the owner allowed such lack of service. I would emphasize that a lunch in Foster City costing $82, without alcohol, seems a bit over-rated given the uncoordinated service. We should have not had to resort for our dessert to turn into a takeout order. We will not return to this restaurant but hope the owner changes the restaurant's mediocre service to allow it to survive. I would like to think that it was just a bad day for restaurant but really feel like this was a standard one. If the owner continues to let the patients run the asylum, mediocrity will continue to flourish... no matter how good the food seems. Good luck and goodbye... read more

This restaurant is probably one of the oldest restaurants still standing in San Mateo/Foster City, seriously! I remember coming here 10+ years ago. The location is what makes this restaurant so special. You can't beat sitting out on the back deck over the lagoon and getting pretty water views. Lots of food options, though I can only vouch for the pizzas and salads. Huge portion sizes! [this review was made in connection with a Toast promotion] read more

Chicken kabob plates are epic, delicious hummus. Love this place. Eating by the water is such a lovely experience and the food is always incredibly fresh. read more

I had a good meal at Waterfront Pizza. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, and it was enjoyable - it wasn't mind blowing though. My friend really enjoyed her kufta kebab plate. What really makes this place special is the ambience. It is on the waterfront and has such a beautiful view, and makes the dining experience stunning. The service was good - the servers were friendly and the food came out quick. Overall, a good experience - the food was okay, but what truly makes this place is its stunning location and vibe. read more

Awesome waterfront spot with delicious food. Their chicken kabob plate is a favorite. The rice and salad are good complements to the fresh chicken and the grilled tomato is a nice addition. Nice to sit by the water when it's not too cold or windy. Friendly service. Prices just went up but the service and quality of food are still a good value. read more

Pizzas continue to be mid and pricey. Over $30 for a tasteless 12-inch doesn't sit right with me. Hummus is good (needed salt) so maybe order the Mediterranean food only. The waterfront patio fills up fast, you may have to wait. read more

This place used to be a childhood go-to for me, especially when I first turned 18 and would come through for hookah. The pizza was solid, but what really made it stand out back then was the atmosphere--super friendly staff, welcoming vibes, and just an all-around good energy. I even remember the little game room right at the entrance... man, pure nostalgia. Coming back now, it just doesn't feel the same. The place is updated and looks nicer, but the vibe feels off. The friendliness and customer interaction that made it special has definitely died down. It feels more like everyone is just there to do their job rather than create that welcoming experience it used to have. Prices have also gone up, which makes it a bit harder to justify, especially when the overall experience doesn't match what it used to be. Still decent, but not the same spot I remember. read more

Overall an enjoyable authentic experience. Knafe 3.5-4/5 cheesy crispy and sweet. Could do without the orange coloring. We ordered fattah eggplant which was good - garlicky yogurt sauce in general is a favorite of mine and they do it well. We sat outside and got to catch the sunset and hookah. Garlic fries were just okay - not too garlicky. Everyone was really hospitable and kind. They let us stay after kitchen had closed for a bit... No rushing us out. I definitely come back to get through the menu and try more things. read more

My friend lives in Foster City and suggested we meet here for Mediterranean food. What a gem! It's right along the water so make sure you bring layers as it can get a little chilly if sitting outside. The food is delicious and they have a hookah bar. It was so peaceful sitting next to the water, eating delicious food and smoking hookah. Now definitely one of my favorite places to go in the Bay Area. Price point is between $20-30 per main dish on average. It's a decent amount of food- about two meals for me. I'll definitely return!!! Highly recommended! read more

I love this place !!! Especially on beautiful sunny days like today!! Always appreciate the beautiful welcome. The staff gives us when we arrive. Best advice if you wanna sit outside make sure you check in if there's already a queue totally worth it beautiful view, and there is a side that you can still smoke hookah on if you choose to and no, you can't smell the hookah from the other side if you choose not to. We ordered all my favorites chicken tikka with delicious rice so yummy, a side of fries I really enjoy their fry style so good love the portion size for sharing. We also ordered chicken pesto pizza Soo yummy! Over all 5 stars so delicious every time!! I can't wait to come back and enjoy with family and friends read more

Prices here are rather steep, averaging $25 per meal (kebab or pizza). While the quality is good, I don't think it justifies the price. They do have nice outdoor seating and options for people to smoke hookah. You order at the counter, they give you a number, and you can sit right beside the water or inside. read more

Was in a mood for some Mediterranean food and this place was close by . The place itself is quite large and on a Saturday lunch time was full w families and kids screaming and running around . Decided to order 2 things - the fatteh hummus which is very rare to find in this area - this was quite good and the quantity was large (enough for two people ) and the cheese fatayer which was very good and fresh (love the Arabic cheese in it ). It was not cheap (about 38$) for both items but altogether good and I will come back to try some other items in the menu read more

We reserved the semi-private room for our holiday party. I made the reservation over the phone and communicated via email with Anwar regarding details. He was easy to work with and a big help in putting the menu together. The restaurant itself is nice and clean. They have a lovely patio by the water. The staff was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. My favorites were the Chicken Shawerma Salad, Beef Kabob and Combination Pizza. Everyone had an amazing time at the party. We'll definitely be back. Thank you Anwar and staff! read more

Wow! One the best falafel wraps I've ever had. My friend ordered the veggie pizza, and it was close to perfection. Omar behind the register was helpful, and made the dinner a total success. Will be going back soon! read more

The setting on the water is lovely. The Mediterranean food my husband and I had (rice combo plate and schwarma) was good and the service was good, but the floor of the women's restroom was dirty, especially in one corner. My husband said the floor of the men's restroom is dirty, too. It makes me wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen. . read more

Hands down the most relaxing and best view in the Bay Area. Great hookah options for those who like to smoke and lots of delicious and healthy food to choose from. The service is top notch, they always treat me like family. read more

Used to come a lot this place, but today was my last time. Hookah guy very rude. I recommend to this place to think about that guy, to many customers wont come there again. Also this is for him: next time think twice before doing something. The guy also wierd aswell i m pretty sure he is using to much drung, one of them 100% meth. So such a shame the place like that have a stuff like that. read more

Still one of my favorite restaurants in the bay area and definitely one of the best middle eastern restaurants i've been to. The view, the food, the good selection of beer (they have wine too)--incredible. The service is always friendly and attentive. Definitely a must stop if you're in the peninsula! read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would, and I'd still feel like I was being generous. Walking into The Soggy Spoon felt less like entering a restaurant and more like stepping into a dare I didn't remember agreeing to. Service: We waited for more than 35 minutes, and we did not get the hooka that we ordered. The waiter is so rude that is in charge of fixing the hooka. We ended up leaving after all. I won't recommend this place to anyone and don't go there and waste your money. Go other places instead. read more

Whenever you ask yourself why foster city restaurante struggle, this is the reason. Waterfel t used to have this amazing kunafa really crispe. I just ordered a full meal and quality is BAD. They sent this smushy disgusting pasta with cheese instead of kunafa. It's literally kids pasta with cheese on top. The texture is smushy and disgusting. It's so sad to see foster city places drowning but now I understand WHY! read more

This is an awesome place with great Mediterranean food been here a few times and we enjoy the outdoors by the waterfront with our little Shih Tzu dog in tow. Highly recommend the food is healthy and so delish. read more

Great views, exceptional food and wonderful service! I'd been hearing about Waterfront for years and I'm so glad I finally got to go!

Not my favorite place in the area. The service is just okay and the food is passable. The pizza was got here was very doughy (not in a good way) and was very soggy. The chicken plate was doused in so much lemon juice that is all I could taste. The outdoor patio has nice views, but in the two times we were not allowed to sit there. We asked if it was closed for an event and the staff said no, but that we still couldn't sit there. So bizarre. read more

I came here for a team lunch. This is a good restaurant for team with lots or just a small gathering. The restaurant is right next to the water, so it's really nice a calming sitting next to the water. They have plenty of food options for everyone, if they want individual plates or something to share for everyone. Their servers are also really nice. Their food gets served pretty fast too! A decent place to eat if your looking for somewhere calm and relaxing to eat. read more

So here for my first time, but my wife had been coming here years ago and recommended I try it. The area is located in a small mini-mall with several places to shop and dine. There are many good places to check out and recently they opened a Japanese Super Market. We went during the weekday since I am semi-retired and luckily there wasn't very many people there. So you order your food and then grab a number and choose your seating. Since it was a beautiful day, we decided to sit outside. I always loved the view of the water in Foster City, growing up in the bay, I spent time here and always liked the area. So my wife recommended trying the Pizza and have to say it was very good. I ordered the all meat and what I loved about the Pizza was the crust. I generally like my Pizza with thin crust because I don't enjoy it when it is to doughy, "if that's even a word". The crust was done very well and the topics were fresh. We also ordered the wings and a salad. The wings and salad were also very good. I loved the way they made the chicken, nicely breaded and not greasy. I also would recommend the strawberry lemonade and lemonade with mint. Both were a perfect choice for our beverage. I read one of the reviews that said the service wasn't that great. My experience was different, the workers were quite pleasant and was very attentive. Our server was young man who was very polite. Overall for my first experience, it was great. As mentioned, my wife had been here before and highly recommended I try this place and so glad we did. I'll be coming back again to try other dishes. read more

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a tasty experience. Parking was plentiful in the mostly deserted strip mall. Ordering and payment were done at the counter with the staff and staff brought out food to the table. There was also a bar area next to the cashier to pick up drinks. Started off with the salad where the vinaigrette was overpowering... Moved on to the kafta plate and it was gigantic. There was a small bed of seasoned rice topped with 3 super juicy and flavorful kaftas. The salad that came with the entree was tasty, although the tomato on the side wasn't fully ripe yet... The dining room was heated by the cashier area. The secondary dining room was quite cool with the door open and the evening breeze coming into the restaurant. Staff came by to clean our plates after dinner. read more

Food is good, but it is not excellent. Excellent fatteh was 5/5 but the dish is small. Rice is plain : not hung wow, no spices or special kick. Chicken was 4/5 fur my wife, 5/5 for me. Salad was crunchy but seasoning was poor. Parking was plenty. Service was relatively quick. If you come in the winter, make sure you can sit outside if there is sun because if there is no sun better to sit inside. They have lovely bubbly. You stand in line to order, but ordering is very quick. Big place to sit inside in case it is raining. The view of the waterfront is nice. read more

Second time eating here. It's a hidden gem in Foster City with amazing Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods. The pizza is very good. You order at the counter and they deliver the food to your table. They have a great wine selection as well. Get there early to snag a table outside on their deck right on the water. Very enjoyable and relaxing. Also, if you're into hookah, they have it! Please check this place out! The service and staff are wonderful. read more

Everything was so amazing. The food was so tasty especially the chicken BBQ pizza it was so delicious and yummy. The service was excellent and all of the workers were kind and helpful.

4 out of 5 stars. I give it a A-. Its very good. Casual place. Its expensive. We paid $100 for two people. Great "day date", right in front of the water lake view. Friendly service. Hookah was great. Food is delicious! Favorite was the Kofta kebab. I would go back. Definitely a must try!! read more

Super recommended spot for workplace luncheons! Meals were affordable and definitely worth their buck! I wish I didn't work so far to recommend this place as a lunch spot. Nonetheless, service was very accommodating with our party of 20+ and food came out relatively quick! I ordered their chicken, lamb-beef combo plate and it was more than filling! I really enjoyed the pickles on the side and the side of hummus. The lamb-beef meat was nicely charred and seasoned. I did wish that the chicken wasn't so dry, but the sauce definitely helped. I also wished the wrap was on the side because I also wasn't sure how to pick it up without spilling food everywhere, but it was still nonetheless delicious. Can't wait to come back next time! It was raining the day I came to eat, but I bet the views of the waterfront are lovely on a sunny day. read more

My partner and I walked in here on a Sunday perhaps 1:30 ish. It was an afterthought. The restaurant we wanted to go to had run out of food. For the extremely hungry us, perhaps the worst decision we made. You get to pick among 1. a very rude person behind the order counter (maybe he was hungry, angry and tired all at once after the Sunday lunch hour), 2. almost half the indoor seating closed , 3. seating by the lagoon welcoming pigeons and cranes that literally land on your food. Or 4. the gross trolly of plastic tubs that the boys rolled in right next to you to clean up the neighboring table. I pick #1. I will not a mistake again. How was the food ? After all of that - who cares ? We need an alternative middle eastern restaurant in foster city. read more
