The story begins with a dream of two companions; Being a resident of San Mateo since years and having years of experience in the food industry, they came up with the idea of Cobani Gyro & Kebab: the b…
Cobani Gyros & Kebab (All Day) (San Mateo) 07.08.22
Incredibly tender, juicy chicken. Generously sized plates, everything tasted fresh. Hummus is whipped so finely it's creamy (I've seen a lot of grainy hummus in the Bay Area, and I prefer the smoother texture). The food here reminds me of the Lebanese restaurants I grew up going to.

Love Cobani's Chicken Kebab Plate. The chicken breast is always juicy and well seasoned. The rice is amazing as is the salad, the soft pita and hummus. If I had to pick an area for improvement it would be that the amount of hummus is quite small. Overall, excellent, I order from them all the time. I've also been to Cobani in person, everyone is always friendly and the owner is very nice.

The quality of the meal was significantly below expectations. The falafel Falafel (4 Pieces) was deep-fried rather than air-fried, resulting in a soggy, oily texture that rendered it inedible. The chicken was equally disappointing, arriving dry and overcooked.
The proportions fire the Chicken Gyros Plate were poorly balanced, consisting of an excessive amount of rice and a negligible serving of salad.
Furthermore, the lack of attention to food safety is concerning; placing the tzatziki container directly inside the hummus indicates a disregard for basic sanitation protocols. I will not be reordering.

This is what is left after getting after this deli meal. The Chicken Kebab Plate is out of this world good. The chicken was sup tender, juicy and seasoned well. Also, not too salty. Salad portion has a good amount of chunky veg, not just lettuces and a nice light vinaigrette. The whole roasted jalapeño was a surprise I was delighted to have. The tzatziki is more mint forward than I'm used to; it did not stop me from loving it! Hummus was my 3/4's fiancé's favorite. And the kiddo grubbed the Garlic French Fries!
Will be ordering again very soon. What should we get next?!?!?

I ordered a Mixed Grill plate. OMG, 10/10 would reccommend! I was given a generous portion of assorted meats and salad, along with a good sized and well made flat bread. Everything was seasoned amazingly well and hit all flavor spectrums. I can't wait to order from here again!
I'd also like to mention how appreciative i am that the restaurant allowed me to sub rice for salad, since I'm highly allergic to rice.
