Royal Egyptian Cuisine

Middle Eastern restaurant

👍👍 Chef Elmy serves soulful, flavorful, and nourishing food that's shared with a big smile and a lot of warmth. I got falafel, which comes with several delicious sides that all complement each other.

Pearl

Middle Eastern restaurant

🫤 Wanted to like this place, but left quite disappointed. Main issue had to do with the price-quantify-quality ratio. I paid $22 for a tiny ‘picnic plate’ that failed to be a ‘plate’ by any reasonable measure. What one should call 4 teaspoons (literally that was the amount) of dip plus two warm small...

Richmond Kebab & Gyros

Restaurant

👍👍 This place is the BOMB. Somehow it's not so easy to find good kebab/gyro places but this place really is a stand out. Reliably great food and friendly service, their plates are hearty and have a little bit of everything. They also have pistachio baklava and ice cream by the scoop/cup. There's outdo...

The Ultimate Deli Cafe and Catering

Sandwich shop

👍👍 If you are a Dabeli or Vada pav lover, it is a must visit place. We had spicy Paneer Panini too. The bread was just too good. Mocha Frappe is a perfect mumbai style cold coffee. Highly recommend this. Hosts are friendly and welcoming.

Lotus Falafel and Shawarma - Burlingame

ZamZam

Middle Eastern restaurant

👍👍 The service is great and the food is delicious! The parking lot may have a loitering problem and be full of homeless individuals but that should in no way affect a businesses review. I highly recommend this place. Only take out.

Not quite sure what happened in the Richmond but after all the hype I am really dissapointed they came and went so fast. I liked the coffee and the pastries. The challah bread was fantastic bu...
