6. Cafe Falafel

It's called Cafe Falafel......but the falafel is just OK. It is a bright green colour inside for some reason. Comes with nice hummus and very garlicky baba ganoush. I went just before closing time so the salad was very tired looking - browned edges.Reviews rate the gyros..so best not to try their signature dish. Cheapish fast food. Handy for the Marriott, but not the tastiest food. If you have time, explore elsewhere.

Enjoyed a nice lunch, with a friend. We started with the M'nazaleh with pita bread, then I had the vegetarian wrap, which was large and very tasty, my friend had the Shawarma Lamb, which she said was excellent.Finished up with two deserts, Copa Mixed Berry Parfait and the Cho-kolata, a sort of chocolate lava cake, both were yummy. No drinks only water, check came to $61.04, so you judge on price. Service was very good so I gave a good tip on top. I thought it was good food and good value for money.

Very cool vibe. Sit on low cushions on the floor at very low table. They come around and wash your hands before the meal. The waiter was very helpful in choosing dishes, and all the staff were friendly. The food was unique and excellent. Would come here again in a heartbeat.

Located at the corner of South First Street and East San Fernando Street, Nemea brings the flavors of Mediterranean culinary freshness into the buzzing heart of downtown San Jose

Well-prepared Greek food (stuffed mushrooms, grape leaves, fried eggplant, moussaka, baklava) in a pleasant setting with good service. Why is it so hard to find that combo in San Jose? It was our most expensive meal but well worth the extra dollars. We'll be back.

We went to DishDash for my dad's birthday. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We started with hummus with grilled chicken and stuffed grape leaves. The hummus was excellent. It was smooth with good flavor and the chicken made it even better. The pita bread here is delicious. It's fresh and doughy. The grape leaves were the best I've ever had. These have a lot of seasoning and texture. Others I've had are bland. I had Makloubeh for my entree and my husband had Shish Kabob. This is the first time I've had the Makloubeh. I liked it but prefer stronger flavors. It was quite mild. The chicken was moist and the sauce was pretty good. Everyone in our group who had beef or lamb said it was excellent.

You can tell this place gets packed at lunch time but to come here in the weekend is so nice because itâs in an oasis of its own. No competition for parking, excellent food and a great wait staff! Food is excellent. We shared a seafood combination and a lamb skewer. It was perfect!! The scallops were the best of all easily but everything was great!!
