Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Palo Alto

Nana • January 19, 2018Love Zareens! The food is delish! Palo Alto location gets super crowded so be prepared for wait. Their lamb, naan, boti kabobs and chicken burger are delish

Amirhossein G. • January 5, 2019Great coffee! Try the poached egg and add avocados on the aide ;)

Tatiana L. • March 9, 2016The most tender and delicious lamb I've ever tried!

Sabrina A. • July 25, 2017Had the vegan pizza and the vegan teriyaki bowl... ahhhhmazing!!! I highly recommend the hummus, I had to ask them to hold the feta cheese(vegan). The pita bread is also gluten free and vegan!

Mike W. • October 7, 2014Come for pizza, stay for killer Italian cocktails & knock-out starters like Burrata, Chilled Tripe, & Meatballs. Don't miss the Napoletana or Carbonara Pizza and read about it on WinstonWanders below!

J J. • February 21Best bagels in the Peninsula & S. Bay. Maybe even better than Daily Driver in SF as far as originality goes. Perfect chewy texture and mild crunchy exterior. Excellent service. Love this place!

Kat . • September 27, 2018DELICIOUS RAMEN! The Black King (squid ink) ramen with heavy garlic, green onions, kakuni, firm thin noodles, and 1 spicy came out perfectly! The broth is so flavorful and the noodle is perfect too.

Marc K. • January 24, 2019Loved, love, loved the food here! One of the more ‘upmarket’ Greek tavernas I’ve eaten at and each dish (shared plates) did not disappoint! Opa!! Get the Octopus and the sautéed greens.

Simon C. • October 15, 2012Great place for your typical all-american brunch, their sourdough and rye bread are really good.

Ari F. • February 4, 2012chickpeas imported from Israel = best hummus in the valley. by a looooong shot. and the pita (both white and wheat) is warm, soft and a perfect complement.

Kat . • September 16, 2018The avocado egg toast is delicious! I get it almost every day :) Try the Kouign Amann too! Ask them to heat it up for you and pair it with a black coffee. It's nice and buttery!

Rissa F. • February 18, 2019Love their seasonal stuff right now! The caramel matcha latte is amazing (made with pandan caramel!)

Hui S. • December 27, 2016Great food. Salmon and mango salad and amazing.

Catherine M. • May 13, 2018Loved their mocha with freshly ground cacao beans from Ecuador with quality simple syrup (or maple syrup). My 7-yr-old enjoyed her handmade chocolate milk (organic cow's milk with a dash of Nutella).
