"Great catering experience. The food arrived hot, on time, and in excellent condition. Everything was flavorful and traveled well, and the included tongs and serving spoons were appreciated. I’d especially recommend the chicken wraps, they were a hit and someone practically drank the hot sauce. The roasted veggie portion was also very generous. Everyone enjoyed the meal and the food coma afterward!"
"since reopening the portions have gotten so tiny. the taste is great but hard to justify the price and the value is not there. the 6-HOUR LAMB SHANK half the size it used to be. WOOD-FIRED ROASTED VEGETABLES was like 10 pieces of veggies."

"The Kids Plate is perfect if you want smaller portion sizes and was so tasty! It filled me up. Comes with 6 pita slices, 1 souvlaki, good portion size of fries. I ordered a side of tzatziki for dipping my pita bread. I also got the Greek Salad. Tho tomatoes in the salad were at their end of life but everything else in the salad was fresh."
"This place used to be my ride or die but the past few orders I've made here I've noticed portion sizes getting smaller. Especially for the Nicks Fries and Gyro Bowl where inexpensive ingredients (potatoes and rice) make up majority of the dish, not sure if it's worth the $14.50 anymore unfortunately. At least the flavors and quality are still present."

"ordered the salmon pretty late at night and it was delicious! cooked perfectly, good seasoning and pretty good rice portion. i think for the price it should come with pita and the salad was a little lacking but overall really good "
"I got the GRILLED SALMON PLATE (Rice & Salad Only) and it was really good. The rice is flavorful, the salmon is grilled perfectly- not too dry. The salad dressing was light, not too heavy. The portion size is decent to the price. It's so good I'm ordering it again tomorrow."

"As a (vegetarian) Greek person who grew up on these menu items--the staple mezedes of all American Mediterranean restaurants--I don't typically order this food from a restaurant; I either make it or, if I need a quick fix, buy it at a grocery store. All this to say, it takes a lot for me to actually patronize Mediterranean restaurant. The food has to be really delicious and reliably so at a good price point--and Med Kebab is hands down the best unpretentious Mediterranean spot in town! The Tzatziki is what won me over. It's exceptionally delicious, perfect consistency, exactly as garlicky as it needs to be. I'm also an addict of their Lentil Soup. So many places make it thin and greasy, but not Med Kebab! Theirs has the perfect thickness and the right amount of oil and is pitch-perfect with its spices (though I add some kind of chili or pepper to everything I eat, and this soup takes it without losing its robust flavor. The Greek Salad is always fresh, generous on the feta and olives, and can actually be made to order, which is a welcome rarity. I always over-order from Med Kebab intentionally (two of everything) and feast off a single delivery all week. The undressed salad stays fresh--as does everything else--for days. And, while the price is unbeatable, they never skimp on quality. This is one of five restaurants on my permanent takeout rotation for years now. I love it!"
"This is me and my son's favorite restaurant and it never disappoints. Chicken Kebab Plate is our go to and their salad dressing is simple but delicious. The front of the house is always very helpful and the kitchen staff are always making sure your food comes out perfect and in a prompt manner. Keep it up guys."

Any breakfast sandwich or grilled cheese on ciabatta will absolutely blow your mind. The açai bowls are totally righteous. I have never had a bad experience with Beach Monkey Organic Café."

Very friendly and kind staff, highly recommend for açaí bowls, made a special trip to come back because of how fresh and delish their bowls are. Will always come back when I'm wanting another :)"

"Anything and everything on the menu is fresh, delicious, and better than any chain. I could happily eat a dozen of the Ube Croissants and Ube Snickerdoodles, but I can't. Kids love the matcha drinks, especially the strawberry and rose. Mocha is always perfect, and it's hard to beat."
"We were so happy when Zorek opened. This location has seen so many places come and go. You can't go wrong with any of their Lattes/Matchas. I've tried them all and have not been disappointed. They put in the effort to make the drinks not just delicious but a work of art as well. If I had to critique one thing, it would be that I wish there were other sizes, but not a big deal. The pastries are always fresh and so is the flatbread. Love their flavor choices as it's not your standard boring pastries. You can tell they are proud of what they serve and value their customers. Everyone who works there is so genuinely nice and professional. It's refreshing to go to a place where employees are happy and like where they are. I would definitely recommend you try this little spot if you haven't already. Definitely a great addition to San Bruno."

"Order Lahmacun (Turkish Pizza) with half and Half large size pizza. Half Four Cheese Symphony (L) and ottoman. Our favorite was the four cheese. Super tasty and so flavorful. Will not hesitate to go back for the four cheese. The lahmacun and other half of the ottoman was also pretty good. But the four cheese is definitely at the top for me. We ordered for pick up and the service was great. Very good attention to detail and would triple check our orders. Even gave us extra dipping sauce and Parmesan and chili flakes. So glad to find a great pizza place nearby! "
"The diced lamb pide with melted cheese was outstanding! The lamb was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, perfectly complemented by the rich, melted cheese. The dough was freshly baked with the perfect balance of crispiness and softness. Every bite tasted authentic and delicious. Great quality, generous portions, and friendly service. One of the best pides I’ve had—highly recommended! "

"I love that this place serves drinks and a hearty breakfast. good serving portions and decent price . Blackstone Benedict was very tasty. as expected since it was delivery. it's hard to keep crispy hashbrowns and toasty bread unless you dine in. Bloody Mary are a little pricey, but not bad at all. could maybe fill the cup more and maybe more booze. Bacon Cheddar Scramble is very tasty and has similar issues with crispyness, but remember it's delivery and the humidity in the box is high because of hot/fresh food. overall pretty good"
"There was possibly a teaspoon full of rice and no chicken in my chicken, rice and lemon soup. The milky chicken broth was good, but just broth. No bread included at all. The spinach, although tasty, was $11 and a very tiny portion. Very disappointed."
