Authentic Mediterranean food. Very good lamb and beef kabobs.

This is a family owned little local gem. If you like Mediterranean and/or Greek food, you will definitely love this place! Cute atmosphere, delicious food, fresh ingredients, friendly hosts, and a great variety of dishes. My favorite dishes: Beyti and Alexander kebap And highly recommend getting their delicious baklava!

I tried this place for the first time, and it’s officially my new favorite! The food was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. My coworker picked it up as takeout and treated me to lunch — and what a treat it was! I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend! I had the Falafel plate, with a side of chicken.

Food was so gooood! Rice was seasoned and was such a pleasant surprise. Good portions and served on cute wood boards with great presentation. The salad was well flavored and hummus and pita bread with the plate was delicious. They also had a Turkish beer we usually do not see in the U.S. and were so happy to have found! Bomonti What a great find! Highly recommend!!

Cozy Mediterranean restaurant located on 25th Avenue in San Mateo. The airy interior is decorated with bright colors, which makes it easy to enjoy the delicious beef gyro or the chick gyro plate. Rice is well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. Friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of free street parking.

Sorry, food was too good to wait for me to take a picture before. Cobani’s has been my good to for a Turkish dinner for years and they never fail me in flavor and service. They’re the best and I’m sure if you’ll agree with me if you give them a try.

We ordered the Chicken Gyro Wrap, Chicken Kebab Plate, Babaganoush, and Chicken Kebab with Baklava for dessert. If you haven't been to this place before, it’s a decent-sized, clean establishment with a few tables on the sidewalk. You order your food at the counter, and it is brought to your table when ready. Our order arrived quickly, though I must point out that the place not very busy at that time. The food was amazing—finger-licking good and generously portioned. Both the wrap and the kebab plate came with a fresh, crunchy salad. For the price, the food was worth it. Although I am not a resident of California and found it a bit expensive, it may not seem so to locals. Regardless, if you enjoy Mediterranean food, you should definitely check this place out. We loved it and highly recommend it.

How Can We Help

I had the salmon wrap and it had salmon in almost every bite. Loaded with veggies and came with a small side salad. The dressing on the salad was so good I asked for more to put on my wrap. I will drive 20 min just for this wrap so please don’t change a thing. The manager was super nice. Thanks for a great meal!

Very good ethnic place! Everything tasted great! Mixed Grill, Chicken Kebab, Chicken Kebab Salad - everything! The counter guy was polite and patient and it seemed that everyone that works there brought out the food for our party of nine. Overall a very good experience.

Very tasty. It’s pricey, but so is everything nowadays. Inflation is real! Ordered the beef & lamb plate and my husband got the wrap, they all really delicious and generous amounts of meat!

Nice little gyro place at San Mateo! Extensive menu… lots to choose from. The guy behind the counter was not very helpful with recommendations even though he did not look very busy! But whatever I tried was delicious so would definitely recommend this place.

I recently went to Cobani for lunch with some friends. We had high expectations due to the ratings, but unfortunately they were not met. The food was very average for the prices we paid, and we'd recommend going elsewhere for Mediterranean food. The other aspects of Cobani are fine. The decor is cozy & well-done. The service was friendly enough and the food took the expected amount of time to get ready. But now we get to the food itself, and this is where it mostly went wrong: - The hummus was not good enough to be worth nearly $10. - The Lamb & Beef Gyros Wrap was a sufficient portion for the price, but the meat was not seasoned well enough. The other wrap fillings were average. - The other kebab plates were similarly mediocre, and they are less worthwhile given the quantity of food. The only well-received dishes (in terms of taste) were the beyti and lamb shank. But I'd expect better from the "bread & butter" of any Mediterranean restaurant. Overall, maybe it was a bad day for Cobani, but I don't see much reason to return. Even on the Peninsula, there are more trustworthy & reliable spots for gyros & kebabs.

We drove here from Southbay for a late lunch! The food was great as usual but I was surprised to find huge price hikes on the menu! The same chicken Kabob which was priced $13 dollars has been bumped as much as %38! I did not realize the prices here are tied to the inflation rate in Istanbul ! I can appreciate the increased cost of row material and labor; bur 38-40% hike is going to make our 45 minute drive much harder to justify the long drive! Visited the place tonight and the food was great as usual but they forgot our French fires order which came AFTER the meals !
