Love this spot -- great food and great value. Very nice staff. The rice is particularly good, full of flavor. I get the chicken shawarma plate. Extra hummus is worth it! Beautiful dessert selection too.

BEST falafel and kofte! So moist and fresh. Really impressed with the food. The staff is SO nice. Also, the little sitting in the area is pleasant. Prices are great, especially for the Turkish delight. You get what you pay for and some. I am looking forward to coming back here with friends and family. 10/10!

Service was super friendly . Food was fresh , aromatic and portions were great. Prices very reasonable . We had lunch on the covered patio- it was very peaceful which was surprising on San Pablo . Absolutely recommend this place and will be back when we're in the area . Everything was bright , moist and delicious

What a hidden gem. Best bang for your buck for healthy options. The little outside back area was nice and quiet. Service was good. They're friendly. Most items were $11.99. I got the mezza plate, for veggie option. My only issue is that the dolmas were really sour. I know some are made like that though. Other than that I was quite satisfied.

Fine cheap. Not enough turnover so shawarma isn't great. Need fast turnover otherwise dries out

Let's talk about their silky mild hummus. Yum. We had chicken kabobs and they were super tasty. Loved the rice too.

Solid quick service lunch spot with a kinda depressing but quiet patio. Super friendly and kind service. Would most def come back for that stuffed falafel tho. Stuffed with sumac and onion, it's a honest delight. Also got the chicken kebab salad, seemingly out of place dressing on the salad but delicious chicken and a good quick bite.

We were in town for an appointment and depended on Yelp for a good dinner choice walking distance from my appointment and our prime parking spot. Thanks Yelpers for brining us here! We especially liked that they have outdoor space, and this space is lovely. It has traffic noise if someone honks their horn, but is also completely shaded with covering and has tall wooded fence walls to shut out the commotion on the other side. We ordered at the counter and then the friendly man helping us, who turned out to be the owner, said he'd be happy to bring our food to us outside. There were plenty of choices for veggie eaters and meat eaters. I was happy to see all of my favorites. I had the gyro wrap with a side order of baba ghanoush and pita. My wife had a stuffed falafel plate. That was a lot of food! Going directly to the baba ghanoush, it was amazing. The best I've ever had. Not at all too oily, nice and smoky, and very creamy. The pita were perfect with it. They were a whole grain, maybe wheat, and on the thin side. I was pleased to have them as a vehicle for my baba ghanoush. The gyro was delicious, wrapped in a similar thin wrap. It was very flavorful and didn't taste over cooked or like it had been under a warming light for a long time. It was topped with a yogurt sauce and I added their spicy sauce. If you like spicy, be sure to give this a try! It is a great combination of spices and meets its purpose of adding tasty oomph well! On the plate is a salad of greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes in a light vinaigrette type dressing. The wrap is a great meal choice! It's plenty of food as is and is less expensive than the plate. The plate includes the same and adds rice. I wasn't in the mood for rice and had opted for the baba on the side, so this was a great choice for me. My wife selected the stuffed falafel plate. The plate comes with hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, rice, pita bread and 3 falafel. With her first bite she said, I'm so used to falafel being dry and they aren't dry at all. They sure weren't! They are stuffed with sesame, green onion and sumac and each coated with a sauce. They are flavorful inside down to the middle, no dryness anywhere. She did get the rice, which had additions of peas, corns and green onions. We opted for dessert as well, a piece of Turkish delight and baklava. We were to full to have it there but are excited to take it home and try it when we are ready. I am sure it will pretty darn amazing.

I haven't tried too many things here, because the first thing I ever ordered was the Chicken Kabob salad, it's so good I get it every time. The chicken is so juicy and flavorful, the dressing is light and the greens are crispy (not like spring mix, which can get wilty when you put warm protein on top) So delicious!

Location: parking is hard but that's everywhere in Berkeley. Great tasting food and price is reasonable! Must have: Grilled Chicken, chicken Shawarma and Baklava!!! They are fast and pleasant. Khalid ka welcoming and honest. Place is small, but they have a good backyard seating.
