I really love the food here. My favorite is the pomegranate chicken. The cauliflower side dishes also really good. This used to be a Chipotle and the store is still set up the same way. You order while they make it and then sit down. It’s nice inside but nothing special. The food’s the highlight here. I definitely recommend it when eating in downtown San Mateo.

Excellent mediterranean food in a convenient location at a really reasonable price. The bowls come with cup of lentil soup which is delicious, and they have a beautiful parklet with plants, nice chairs & umbrellas. Would recommend!

Food tasted good! Plenty of toppings for salad. Falafel taste better when they are freshly made. Chicken should be served warm. Lentil soup is watery. Only issue was that food ‘s temperature was not right.Service could be better, when they greet and welcome their customers.

Best Mediterranean food in San Mateo. It’s very quick and good service, similar to chipotle. I really enjoy the steak and chicken shawarma in a rice bowl but the wraps are good too.

Went in to pickup a quick lunch. Got the steak wrap which was solid. All toppings are included so you can choose what you like. Could use more spicy sauce options (they just had spicy tahini).

Nice people, good service at the counter (self service). Clean and neat, open airy space. Food was a disappointment. Sounded good but not much flavor. Veggies overcooked. Large servings but again, not much flavor. Maybe a bad day?

I like how you can custom your salad. Steak salad with Cubed beets, eggplant & topped with tzatziki, hummus and garlic spread was delicious. Service was very friendly. Portion is on the larger side it was super filling.

They have a few restaurants in San Francisco as well, and every single one is absolutely fantastic. This restaurant is a chipotle-style Mediterranean place where you can choose a base of salad, wrap, pita bread, or rice bowl, and then add many different toppings. The service is good too! Fast and tasty.

I got the beef bowl and chicken bow, I threw both in the trash. First of all the girl that was helping me never even gave me a receipt for my purchased items not very friendly either. The beef was not edible, and the chicken was just not tasteful all in all there just wasn’t much flavor I really had high hopes. I wanted this to be my new go to place not a chance
