Excellent restaurant. The staff was so welcoming and helpful. They offered suggestions from the menu. And they were spot on with their recommendations. The food was delicious and prepared very well. Absolutely loved the experience from the moment we walked in to the food.

Had a Beef & Lamb plate, $23 after tip. It was great and tasty, just be sure to ask for their spicy sauce. They’ll give you a little red squeeze bottle, the sauce is orange in color.

This place is the real deal. I knew the moment I took a sip of the ayran and was transported to a hot summer afternoon at our archaeological site in western Anatolia. The mezze dips and pide come particularly recommended but everything else was fabulous too. The owners and staff are really friendly too.

Delicious Mediterranean food served at this downtown San Mateo location. Everything was prepared perfectly—hummus, bread, gyro plate, beef kebab, chicken kebab, and kale salad. Fast and friendly service. Parking can be hard to find on 4th Avenue, but there are some parking lots within 5-7 minute walking distance.

Food was delicious. I ordered chicken gyros plate, the salad that came with it was really tasty. The staff were super-nice & accommodating. The restroom was an all gender restroom that I think was shared with the adjacent restaurant, so it wasn’t as clean and the hand soap was almost empty.

A great place for a quick bite or a social lunch. I really liked the bowls, a great balance of flavors; comes with hummus and pita bread. The toasted chickpeas and pickled cabbage on the bowl add flavor and texture. We also had the stuffed eggplant dishes . All our meals came with rice, salad and pita bread. Can make it vegetarian but we had it with ground beef. Delicious!
