ORDER Lamb and Beef Gyro Plate ***STARS (stand out qualities) FOOD (4.5/5 stars) -meat quantity was great and quality was decent -salad seemed well balanced with different ingredients aside from greens -rice was the most flavorful SERVICE (4/5 stars) -I arrived early and didn't order right away due to waiting for a large group. Despite that, the staff didn't not give me any issues -they served food pretty quickly -server agreed to take group photo when we asked -service is not outstanding but passable AMBIANCE (4/5 stars) -clean and beautiful decor -good amount of seating for parties of 2-4 and flexibility for larger group party of 10-12 TIPS -easy place to split group with large group since you order and oat before seating Overall, I enjoyed this restaurant and open to coming again!

Food: Really good & filling…read more I had the LAMB & BEEF GYROS plate without rice and more salad. It was a substantial plate with lots of meat & salad - well worth the cost. After this I had the rice pudding (with pistachio on top...the server asked if I wanted cinnamon or pistachio) and Turkish coffee (it was good but no cardamom which was a bummer). The pudding was also substantial in size easily accommodating 2 people or 1 person with a raging sweet tooth (me). Service: great! The server came by right when I was finished with the meal and asked if I was ready for the dessert & coffee. Also, I wasn't hurried out of the place after finishing my meal & dessert (when I was writing this very review). Ambiance: spacious There is significant indoor seating & some outdoor. Good spacing among the tables. Sound level is ok. You can hear yourself think and the other person talk unlike some other nearby restaurants.

Great ambiance amazing staff friendly open kitchen.... Tells you everything!!!…read moreSo fresh and after starting to order my regular Greek favs - I stopped my order because they actually had moussaka vegetarian made which nobody ever makes. It was absolutely spectacular. It came with Pita's fresh salad and oh my God it was so good. I ordered a bunch of things to go to take home with me because I live a far distance from this place. I found it on Apple Maps but why I was driving asking for the closest Greek place and wow am I glad Apple Maps brought me here. I will definitely be back. And what's really amazing is I just found out I lost a friend and I was sitting at the table a little teary-eyed and a lovely server brought over some tea for me while I was waiting for to go order. And guess what they were open July 4. The food is absolutely spectacular. I'm looking at all the plates of meats and everything smell so fresh I wanna order the french fries just cause they look so delicious but I'm full. I couldn't even eat my whole plate cause I was full. And even tasted gr8 the next day

We ordered inside with Aytan, who was a great staff! :) The servers were also super kind and attentive. Place was neat and spacious. We ordered lentil soup, Greek salad, chicken souvlaki wrap, and grilled seafood plate! All were delicious and seasoned well. Everything was fresh and came with Pita bread! We also got to try baklava and their hot tea which was a perfect combo :) We will definitely recommend this place and come back again!

It was looking so cute From beginning to end everything was amazing. Food was delicious as always we got halloumi cheese rolls, mezze sampler plate and cauliflower it was unbelievable and for the main course we got lamb chops and branzino I'm speechless Also I'm impressed from service as well. Our waiter Aria was so kind and her recommendations were wonderful. She elevated our experience and had a lovely night. We would love to come back again and hopefully we'll find Aria again. Thanks guys!

I came in expecting a Middle Eastern feast and left wondering if my stomach had declared…read moreindependence. The menu offers chicken and steak shawarma, falafel, hummus, garlic sauce, and all the usual suspects. Unfortunately, my meal tasted like several ingredients had met for the first time and immediately regretted it. The complimentary lentil soup was probably the highlight, which says something. A few hours later, the real "shawarma experience" began with my digestive system moving at considerably higher speed than the restaurant's kitchen. The atmosphere didn't exactly improve the experience. The environment felt dirty and unkempt, which is particularly unfortunate when you're eating food that already has you questioning your life choices. Instead of feeling like a welcoming Middle Eastern restaurant, it felt more like I had wandered into a cafeteria where cleanliness was an optional add-on. I kept looking around thinking, "Surely this is part of the ambiance." It wasn't. Customer service completed the trifecta. The staff came across as rude, dismissive, and remarkably pompous as though asking for decent food and basic courtesy was an unreasonable request. Overall, this was one of those meals where the best part is when it's over. If you're looking for flavorful food, a clean atmosphere, and friendly service, I'd recommend taking your appetite and possibly your digestive system somewhere else. These reviews need to have 1/4 stars so I can go lower than 1 star, but it is what it is.

This place was pretty solid overall. Parking was fairly easy since there's a public lot nearby,…read morewhich was convenient. It's a pretty casual, self-service setup. You order at the front and then find a table yourself, with water and utensils available on the side next to the order counter. There isn't much interaction with the staff beyond ordering, but the service was decent and everything was straightforward. The food was definitely the highlight. Everything was flavorful, the portions were a good size, and the textures were on point. It felt like a satisfying meal without being overly heavy. Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for a casual Mediterranean meal with good portions and plenty of flavor.

It didn't have any of the flavor that you would expect at a Mediterranean place. The chicken was bland, as if it had been boiled in water without any spices or seasoning.

We all got our own plates. You gotta get the "Back Home style," I got the chicken. It was SO juicy and colorful, as usually with most Palestinian dishes. It's basically a cut up shawarma wrap but perfectly crisped and measured for happiness in each bite. My friends loved their lamb too. All plates are huge in portions and fresh in flavor. Fries are tasty and seasoned to perfection. Love the outdoor seating for those with dogs. Plenty of indoor seating and serve-yourself water. The service is with a smile, friendly and efficient. Great if you're taking a break shopping in Burlingame and want something refreshing and quick. You gotta spend time reading the wall mural. You learn more about the family and history of Lotus Falafel especially right now with the ongoing livestreamed genocide of Palestinians. Will def be back if I find myself in the area.

It was a Saturday evening and parking is a bit difficult in the area so our food was to go. Which was too bad because walking into the restaurant as a first time patron, it felt inviting. I can picture a quiet dinner out or a larger group gathering. I was welcomed further into the restaurant by a nice woman as I stood by the hostess podium by the door not knowing where to pickup my order. Have you ever met someone with kind eyes and a warm smile? Well, that was her. The food didn't make it home as the smell of food steaming out of its container was too much to resist. We had the kabob grilk mix and oh...was every piece of chicken, beef and kafta so tender and yummy that we just pulled over mid-way home, savored every piece of kabob, grilled , warm rice, with a scoop of what I believe was Yakhni(?) and enjoyed the clear night view over the hill. DEFINITELY going back for a sit down on a more parking friendly night. And, baklava is our end game. Update coming soon! *no food pic included for obvious reasons

Both times the restaurant was closed for a private party. Both times we called on the way and no one answered but Google hours said they were open so we still came. Second time, someone came out and spoke to me, looking annoyed like I was bothering her and somehow I should know they are closed. We wanted to enjoy their food?! We won't be coming back here again. She stated that they usually aren't open on the weekends for regular customers only private events. Nothing on their website or storefront indicates this at all. They should fix this.
