Just called the restaurant to confirm the halal status. They said, "everything is halal except for the Turkey sausage on the breakfast menu" They do have a good pastries menu. I don't know if the pastries have vegetable mono- and diglycerides and plant based enzymes. So I decided not to order from this place.

Mohamed makes his own baklava. It's delicious as is the chicken shawarma wrap. Seriously one of my favorite spots in Town. Can't go wrong with this family run joint 🤌

Food here is fresh, the flavor is fantastic and portions are great. Price is right for the quality of food and service is fast. Trust you keep coming back for more. Hidden Gem for lunch.

My new go to spot for Mediterranean lunch when I’m working on downtown Oakland. It’s a simple, delicious, filling meal. And the staff are pretty friendly.

Came here for lunch today, had the combo wrap. absolutely divine. I could have eaten 10 more. Will be coming back for sure :) thanks guys!!

Randomly came upon this cafe this evening. I had the green goddess smoothie and it was absolutely delicious..It was packed full of fruits and veggies. They had so many options for fresh juices and smoothies. I didn’t get to try the food but i’ll definitely be back. Very friendly service and lovely people.

Fantastic food and service! Lots of outdoor seating.

First time in Oakland City Center (which is lovely) and I happened upon this cafe. Had a chicken shawarma wrap (served with greens and hummus) and a piece of baklava; the portions were generous and the food was delicious! Great start to my visit.

Nice spot for customizable breakfast and lunch options! Breakfast could use a little more variety, but the lunch salads are great.

I ordered halal food for my students and they all loved it

Tasty breakfast! Please try the breakfast burrito and Greek Omelette; amazing! Owners are wonderful. Lady serving the food can improve in her customer service interaction. Overall a really comfy place to go out for breakfast. Very affordable! I will be back!

This dude makes the freshest, most delicious, halal wraps EVER! Everything I have had is delicious and at a value cost. I've eaten the falafel wrap, the hummus wrap and a lamb shawarma wrap. The wraps all come with a small parsley or green salad, and a small yogurt dish (can't remember the name). So good! He also offers excellent homemade deserts. I eat there at least once a week and I do not go out for lunch frequently.

This place is located in a very inconvenient area however the wrap I ordered from here was very very good and probably one the best wraps I’ve had. I ordered the lamb shawarma wrap which came with a hefty amount of lamb. The other filling was lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and yogurt sauce. Alongside the wrap it comes with hummus and side salad. All the veggies were super fresh and crisp which surprised me! I say surprised because everything else is sitting out on warmers as if you were at Subway ordering a sandwich. Some items looked like they were sitting for awhile and I ordered my food/visitied relatively earlier in the day. That threw me off a bit and I wasn’t expecting much from the wrap but it shocked me. Very tasty and I absolutely would order it again!

It's OK. The food is not terrible. Just...OK for the price and quantity. Service was fine and quick. I will say, they do a bait and switch. The price on the menu in store that they provide IS NOT the price rung up at the register. That price is higher. Disappointing business practice. Also, I bought water from there at an insanely high price but that's my fault - I could have walked a few steps over to the bagel shop and bought it for half the price.

This place is disguised as "Mezza Brunch&Lunch" on Uber Eats...so beware! Order a veggie breakfast croissant, frappe, brownie, and dipped chocolate chip cookie for the crew. What we received was a small beat up croissant with spinach, egg, and american cheese, x2 white maca chip cookies, x1 oatmeal raisin cookie, a slice of unknown chocolate cheesecake(?), and a frappe (the only saving grace). Despite it not being what we ordered, had the random hodge podge of deserts been good I wouldn't be in this review section rn...but no they were absolutely terrible. I could taste freezer/fridge on the mystery cake. 10/10 would NEVER recommend!

My review is only for the service because I haven’t tried the food itself. It’s sad to write a comment that is not nice, but I have to. When we entered the restaurant we asked if it’s Halal. The guy(Another employee)asked the lady if it’s Halal. First she didn’t answer then the guy asked again and she replied very unprofessional and mean. It wasn’t something that you expected from a restaurant employees. We just left the restaurant and didn’t say anything. That’s why I only rate the service. I wish we had the chance to rate the food too.
