Cobani Gyros & Kebab (All Day) (San Mateo) 07.08.22
I don't always take the time to review a restaurant , but I was craving hummus and beef kebabs so bad. Man, they did not disappoint! Everything had such an amazing flavor and the beef was tender enough I could bite right in. Literally everything was so good. Best lunch ever!

Chicken gyros is very flavorful and moist, not dry like other places. Hummus is excellent and they include a good portion in the plates along with rice and salad and tzasaki sauce and large pita bread. I opted for double rice in comments section of DoorDash.

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.

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.

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.
