Parked in a nearby parking garage and there's several options at Santana Row. I walked towards the address, looked for Mas Veggies and found that it was Veggie Grill. Entered and had to use the restroom and was stopped because I wasn't a buying customer yet. So I explained I was going to use the restroom and then order. He was fine with it and that's what I did. Ordered and paid at a self service computer on the counter-- but you could order with a live person as well. Took a number and took it to a table. My order was brought to me. The guy even asked if I'd like a water cup. That was observant, thoughtful and nice. I had tacos and chik'n tenders. I've had the chik'n tenders before at a different location and this time was memorable-- better than I remember, would have again for sure. Tacos were good but if they weren't on the menu anymore, I wouldn't miss it. I did try to get one of the superfood smoothies and the very one I wanted was out. Of course. Good food, good service.

Three of us shared: crispy spring rolls, 4 - pronounced crunch and substantial contents and orangey dipping broth pleasant. Potstickers 4 - wonderfully crisp outside, contents had nice texture and brown dipping broth a good accompaniment. Pad Thai and Crispy? Chow Mein - tossup on which we liked best. Liked smooth texture of pad and tofu strips but one didn't care for the shrimp looking yam crescents. Loved the crunchy peanuts and wouldn't mind a bit more. Loved the mushrooms in chow mein. BBQ tempeh bowl with kale and carrots over rice - enjoyed spicy tempeh classic flavor. Shared Cacao pecan cake and New York cheezcake. Loved the subfloor pops and silky texture of both. Bravo to all and look forward to returning! Note: chose them from Bay Area Check Please reviews

I was informed that the patio is open and to order using a QR code at one of the tables in the patio. You have to sign in and create an account to order. It took me a minute to order. I wanted to try their specialty dishes especially because they have mushroom dishes and soy protein dishes. But by the time I was able to figure out how to order and sign up, I was pressed for time to order a meal and ended up ordering crispy spring rolls. Once your order is placed, you wait for a text to let you know your order is ready. Then I have to pick up at the window. Spring rolls were okay. I really wanted to try the crispy oyster mushrooms or the lion mane mushroom dish. Or even the Sea Fruits plate but I wasn't going to have enough time to enjoy them. The patio was fine. A few picnic tables. You bus your own table at the end. Everything they used was biodegradable. I wish it was a better experience. The food looked delicious in pictures, but eating in an outdoor patio, ordering from a QR code, and picking up your food from the window made for a sad and sub par experience.

The food was amazing!!…read more We went on a dinner date for a birthday, and were greeted with food items that were new to us, as well as well known dishes in a reimagined way. The paneer and avocado galouti was melt-in-mouth, the techa chicken lolypop was amazing (just the perfect amount of spice), and the paneer lababdaar was one of the best I've ever had. Then came dessert and oh man... The cheesecake rabdi was insanely delicious. Not to mention their cocktail and mocktail selection (we had the mango bite and cordelia). The entire place was pleasant, service was good, and the food wasn't just tasty, but also beautiful... we felt guilty as we tore into it. Planning our next visit soon.

Now the food--so good and thoughtfully curated. The avocado paneer galouti completely surprised me (in the best way), super melt-in-the-mouth and packed with flavor. The reinvented paneer lababdaar was indulgent and comforting, while the thecha chicken lollipop brought in a bold, spicy punch. Drinks were just as impressive--the Cordelia cocktail was smooth and refreshing, and the mango bite mocktail was playful and nostalgic. And you HAVE to try the rabdi cheesecake--such a creative fusion dessert and easily the highlight of the meal. Kudos to the chef Vaibhav Savant for bringing such innovation to Indian cuisine. Service was friendly and attentive too. Can't wait to go back!

One of my favorite vegan spots, and I've been coming here with my family long enough that it's…read moreabout time I actually wrote this up. The pho is the thing to get. Clear broth, comes with an assortment of vegan proteins, and it's been consistent every single time over the years. Best had in cold weather. The spicy noodle soup is solid too but it doesn't hit the same way. The SP4 gourmet deluxe is my other staple and I order it like an appetizer. The protein comes out fried with a crispy shell and soft inside. The sauce leans hard on lemongrass and citrus but it's savory throughout, not sweet. Haven't had anything like it anywhere else. Orange nuggets are chewy with a citrusy and sweet glaze. Good enough that I skip the actual appetizers for these. The Szechuan Pineapple is spicy, salty, and savory with chewy gluten and a citrus undertone running through it. Green papaya salad is strictly sour and tangy. Fresh, nothing heavy about it. Sweet potato curry is definitely underrated. Potato goes soft all the way through and the whole thing tastes hearty without being heavy. Basil eggplant tofu skews sweet and the eggplant goes silky and it's a family favorite. Eggplant claypot has the same idea but the sauce is better and it comes out in the claypot which makes it feel like a proper dish. Jalapeno BBQ seitan was a miss. The BBQ sauce tastes flat. Staff is friendly and food comes out fast.

Had the BBQ Vermicelli bowl and was thoroughly satisfied. It's a big portion, hits all the marks for veggie varieties, and tasted super fresh (even for takeout).

Often at Mediterranean spots, the vegetarian options feel like an afterthought, but at Meso, they are too good. Everything we ordered tasted incredibly fresh and was seasoned to perfection. If you're looking for a spot that treats its veggie dishes with as much care as their proteins, this is it. Great vibes, great service, and even better flavors. Can't wait to come back!

I used to LOVE Meso and always recommended it to friends and family, but after returning for the…read morefirst time in about two years, I left really disappointed. I always ordered the chicken dish, so when it came out this time, I was genuinely confused. The menu describes it as having a garlicky yogurt sauce, but there was none. I even checked their website afterward, and the dish I received looked nothing like the one advertised. I also looked through recent reviews and photos from other customers, and even those dishes looked very different from what we were served. If the recipe or sauce changed, I really think customers should be informed. When I asked the waitress, she explained that it now comes with a zhoug sauce instead, but that isn't mentioned anywhere on the menu. Oddly enough, the same sauce was also used on the Dorada fish dish. We also used to love the lamb, but they changed that dish too by removing the sauce and couscous base. I'm not sure why the changes were made, but it's just not the same anymore. Overall, it was really disappointing, especially since we chose to spend Mother's Day here. The food quality has definitely gone downhill. On top of that, the restaurant seemed extremely understaffed -- there appeared to be only about three servers working the entire floor all night. The ambiance was still decent, but the overall experience just didn't feel like the Meso we used to love. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place anymore.

I've had this place bookmarked for a while but haven't been able to make it to this side of town…read more Finally stopped in for a quick lunch date. Upon walking in, you're met with a calm yet inviting ambiance. I'll guess that the music playing from the speakers are of Ethiopian musicians, and the paintings for decor represent Ethiopian culture and history. Love when a restaurant proudly represents and showcases the heritage and culture around the cuisine. We ordered the Meat and Veggie Sampler which is described on the menu as "a combination of our veggie sampler with stewed lamb, beef, and chicken accompanied by 8 rolls of injera." I've tried Ethiopian cuisine in San Diego, Sacramento, Texas, and Michigan in the last year -- and I would argue that Walia probably makes it to the top for taste, quality, presentation, authenticity, and cultural experience via the ambiance. I'm looking forward to our next visit to try other menu options. Will definitely recommend this restaurant as family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues look for their go-to Ethiopian restaurant in the South Bay.
