Le Papillon
Cute place, weird location, DELICIOUS food. I stopped in here for a quick bite while walking back to the motel and got the eggplant dip. The smell when you walk into this tiny building is INTOXICATING and the same can be said for when I tried the food. Not a spot for huge groups as there is limited outdoor seating

This place has the best kabobs in San Jose. The meats are so juicy and hold a lot of flavor. The woman that works the front is also very nice and pleasant to talk to. I will definitely be coming here more often!

I’ve ordered meal prep from here twice and it was delicious! Their chicken and their beef is really good and I love the veggies they serve too. My mom and I tried their chickpea hummus and eggplant hummus with pitas and it was amazing. The staff is friendly and I would come back again!

I called to put in an order and I told the woman to hold one second because my children needed me and I over heard her telling someone else “She is calling and doesn’t even know what she wants” with an attitude and I can just hear her rolling her eyes on the phone. Extremely rude and unprofessional. I literally put her on mute to attend to my 11month old and 5 year old for less than 60 seconds and she was rude to me. You’re honestly better off going to Reyhan or Stone Stew 2 on 4th street. Their food tastes more authentic and I would know because I am Persian. Their prices are high for no reason. Their food is always left out too long and never tastes fresh. Their kabob always tastes a bit raw in the center as well. Extremely disappointed and honestly the only reason I called THEM in the first place and not somewhere else was because they were on my way to where I was going. But looking back I regret even wasting my time. Last time I will be ordering from them and I will tell my whole family not to as well.

One of the best kebobs place in Santa Clara County hands down. Good hummus made from scratch. Variety of different kabobs that suit everyone even vegetarians. This place hits on all cylinders.

Thoroughly enjoyed my wrap here! I chose the chicken thigh lavash wrap and it tasted fresh both in terms of the seasoned chicken and crisp and salad inside. And for under 10 bucks, it’s very reasonable! Friendly and patient manager (owner?) as well! Loved that they had outdoor seating as well!
