When you fly into San Francisco this place is a convenient stop for a delicious meal. It's our favorite for breakfast after a morning flight. Think Mom and Pop shop, where the locals eat. The Middle Eastern breakfast will last you all day......fragrant stacks of warm pita bread, tomato wedges and cucumber drizzled with lemon and olive oil, hummus, ful... More

I came here with some coworkers to try it out after seeing good reviews. It is a sit down place but you have to order your food from the counter. The food is very good. I had their lamb shawarma with hummus, pita bread, salad and rice. The flavor is so delicious but the lamb was a bit on the... More

If you're looking for authentic flavors in Burlingame, this is the place. The falafel is made to order which makes it taste so much better than most places. All the salads are tasty, especially the eggplant, and the latkes are like none I've had before. Not only is this a great neighborhood place, the family that runs it takes real... More

We went to this place from Crowne Plaza airport hotel - there is a shuttle from the hotels to Burlingame and this means better than airport hotel food. We liked this small family style place although I am not sure it should be rated so high. Way too much food - chicken or lamb kebab with middle East add ons.... More

I went to this restaurant on the advice of friends while in Burlingame and was immensely pleased and satisfied. I'm of Mediterranean extraction myself, and the food was among the best I've experienced in this cuisine. The lamb shish kebab was exquisitely well-marinated without being cloying or overwhelming the flavor of the meat; the pilaf was as close to my... More

You don't find places like this very often. While in Burlingame before a flight the next day out of SFO, I checked Trip Advisor for a recommendation. Thanks to the two other reviewers, I selected this for dinner. It was great! SO many wonderful choices on their "make your own" combo platter. I chose hummus, Mediterranean stew and falafel balls...
