Learned about this place after seeing them in The Chronicle. Shawarma in pita was delicious—made with turkey(!!) and lamb fat carved from a spit.

Delighted (and a little nervous!) to discover this please near my work. The staff helped me make some choices, and everything came out quickly. I had chicken pita, which sure had enough chicken for two reasonable meals, as well as a box with salad samples (the Israeli salad was heavy on the onions and light on flavorings, but the cabbage salads and pickles were delicious and the carrots quite spicy for me) and a bag of fries (basic russets, good while hot). I hope I can convince our office to switch meeting caterers!

A dining experience where friendly faces are as memorable as the dishes! The staff’s welcoming smiles, remarkable flavors, and affordable prices make this a 5-star gem.

Great for people who are active and fit. They have healthy options such as, the grilled chicken plate or ShaWOWrma plate. I’m not Israeli or Middle Eastern but the flavor is overpowering in a great way. I’m not sure about the negative reviews but I feel some are on the antisemetic side considering that this is the only Israeli owned establishment for food I’ve come across. Sorry, it’s obvious by the names and the bad review besides the one Israeli name.

Best Israeli food in the Bay Area. Authentic, delicious, and fresh. Doesn’t get any better—this place is the real deal! We love everything on the menu, especially the shwarma & falafel pitas. Don’t miss out!

I was very displeased in knowing this place stole all of these so called “Israeli” recipes? Food was not even comparable to how they should truly taste. And what even is this so called “Israeli Salad”? What makes is Israeli? All the stolen dishes from Palestine?

If you want a colonized take on Palestinian food, this is the place for you. Nothing about this place is authentic. Please stick to your non existent “israeli” dishes and stop stealing traditional middle eastern dishes and calling it your own.
