Came to this spot last night to break our fast since we were in the area and had heard great things about it. The birria tacos were so delicious, the meat was high quality and very well priced. I also tried the burrito bowl, which came half golden rice, half lettuce, with chicken and topped with guacamole. The bowl was a bit on the blander side, although when I tasted some of the sauce (maybe the golden/sweet sauce?), it was good. I think next time I’d try something different.
Otherwise, the service was great. My only small complaints are that the sauce containers are tiny and the side of chips is more of a sprinkle than an actual side, lol. That said, I really appreciated that they offer dates to break your fast and have tons of Palestinian art and messages throughout the restaurant, it was amazing and very supportive to see. They also use halal meat, and the quality is excellent.
The bathrooms were impeccably clean, customer service was solid, and I loved that they carry Palestinian soda instead of Coke or Pepsi. Overall, a great experience and I’d definitely come back.

I tried the Afghan burrito today, and it was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned — every bite was full of amazing taste. I loved it so much that I’ll definitely come back to enjoy it again and again.
The customer service was also excellent — very friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even better.
It’s a great option for family meals and events too. Highly recommended!

What a unique taco experience! It would be a great place with a larger group and there is total privacy which is fun. We went back and forth on which tacos to order and settled on these but for both of us it was totally about the Birria tacos. We didn’t finish the 5th one so they are filling.

Amazing atmosphere especially on a sunny warm day. The seats are spaced out well and you feel privacy.
And the food is great of course + the service is amazing and the prices are extreeeemely reasonable for a place that feels so nice.

Best Loaded Fries I’ve had in a while. That should really be all there is to say. I got mine as a large with Shrimp and Steak. Both meats were flavorful and tender. Think twice about getting their hot sauce on it though, because it really is SPICY! Everything was still yummy though. They finished the order fast.
It looked like a popular spot. I saw a few people sitting at the tables and also waiting for pick up.
Everything outside looked clean and peaceful.
Back to the fries. They had this curry type of sauce on them as well and it was the most delicious flavor ever! Their special sauces are what earn them a five.
One is a creamy tomato and spice blend, while the other is a sweet chill sauce (the good kind/brand, not that diluted stuff some places give out). I appreciate the extra quality and the creativity of the primary sauce. It added to the experience.
I definitely recommend coming here. It was genuinely the best 18 bucks spent (I couldn’t resist adding on the guacamole topping). I will definitely be back in the near future for a burrito or crunchwrap!

What an incredible discovery we made while in Berkeley! First off, we were absolutely delighted by the setup. You won’t find such a clean, organized, and thoughtfully designed space in any restaurant. The open patio seating features seven pergolas, along with additional indoor seating in a temporary glass enclosure filled with tables. The main area is where orders are taken and food is prepared. Even the restrooms are well-designed and photo-worthy! When a place puts so much thought into its setup, you expect the food to be just as good. We noticed rave reviews about the golden sauce, so we had to try it. We ordered a burrito bowl with golden rice and additional toppings, but I was disappointed that guacamole was added without my request. It costs $2 and should be added only upon request. I wanted to taste the bowl with the original golden sauce, but the excessive guacamole overshadowed it, which was frustrating. We also tried both soft and hard tacos with grilled chicken, fried chicken, and shrimp, all of which were tasty. The horchata was good as well.
I wanted to give a five-star rating, but the guacamole issue cost it a point. I didn’t quite feel the hype surrounding the food; it seemed overhyped based on the reviews. However, the food is definitely worth trying. Just don’t expect anything out of this world – it’s good fusion cuisine with meat prepared in Afghan style. They also serve Karak Chai. I will definitely return and recommend it to friends. People from India might appreciate the Dhaba-style vibes of the setup. Keep up the great atmosphere!

I can’t stop coming back to this place. Everything I’ve gotten was full of flavor and juicy. Omg and the chai tea! I’m addicted. It’s so good! Definitely try them out.

Unfortunately I reviewed before and it didn’t save.
This is one of my top 3 spots in the bay (others are Gangnam Tofu and A+ Burger). I’ve been coming here since they were a wee test kitchen and they’ve grown so much. Look, Arab food and Mexican food go together and this place makes that abundantly clear. The golden sauce on all items infuses strong curry flavors and aromas into the high quality ingredients they serve. Plus, spice level is for you to decide: you can have mild (you shouldn’t, you’re depriving yourself of joy) or spicy which is a tolerable yet satisfying amount.
Everything they sell is a banger. The meats are spiced middle-eastern style and go with everything. The burritos and bowls are classic items on their menu, and their new ones like the crunch wrap redefine their techniques. Corn in a cup? More like that’s what’s up. And don’t even get me started on the creamy and sweet/spicy sauces they always give, a man can only get so weak
Finally, to really seal the deal on how great it feels to go here, the dang burrito wrap is gold colored. A golden burrito. You’re eating golden burritos here.

Parking: only street parking available.
Setup: There are outside and inside seats. The place looks very clean and organized.
Food: 1st time here. Ordered Golden Burrito with chicken in Afghan style. The cashier was nice. He explained and confirmed with me if I know what Afghan style is. (I had no clue but did try it) Afghan style basically is a fried naan or tortilla (not sure what it calls) on bottom and put everything on top, not rolled like a regular burrito. Veggies are fresh covering the chicken and rice. Yellow sauce is very tasty. The portion is good size with some chips on the side.
Price: reasonable/average.
