A Slice of the Mediterranean Right Next to Silicon Valley. There's this place, an quick-service, order at the counter, get your stuff, and sit. And there's another place like this that's a more casual dining, table service place. Both do it well, serve similar foods, and your choice of either should depend on how much you want to be taken care of and how fancy you want to be. I ordered the Lamb Shwarma ($15), you can get is as a wrap (with toasty lavash) or with pita (that is homemade), it comes with an herb-tahini, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, pickles, and parsley; and served with a choice of a side (I went with the Lentil soup). Other choices are hummus, fries, tabouli, falafel, salad, rice, babaghanouge, spiced carrots and walnuts, or pomegranate eggplant and walnuts. Also, if you want to go nuts, you can “Style Your Dish” with additional accoutrements for $3 more; I went with the Greek and added roasted bell peppers, grilled onions and mushrooms, and feta cheese. My wife ordered the Falafel Wrap ($12.50), it comes with an tahini, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, pickles, and parsley; and she got a side of babaghanouge. She styled her dish as Jerusalem and added hummus, grilled eggplant, and cauliflower. As far as Mediterranean food goes, it's one of her favorite cuisines and she said this was in her top two and would eat here once a week. The kids ordered the Chicken Shwarma Wrap ($13.50), it comes with garlic yogurt, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, pickles, and parsley; and they got a side of rice. They styled it as South of the Border and added black beans, avocado, and cilantro. They were so quiet when they ate; it was a beautiful scene. They loved it. You have the option of adding additional sauces at their condiment bar: spicy chili, chipotle tahini, Greek yogurt, and/or cilantro lime. All were delicious. My only complaint were dirty pint glasses (check the pic); I ordered two points and both had crusties on the outside. Not a big deal, but a little gross. Overall it was a good experience with good food and I would recommend this place for a gyro, shawarma, or other Mediterranean fix.

Great spot for dinner - the lamb kebab was brilliant. I went in with a small group after work for some food and beers and Dish n Dash fit the bill perfectly. The menu is varied and has some great stuff on it. We all ended up going for the lamb kebab, which I would definitely recommend. The lamb was tender and juicy and had a fantastic grilled flavour. They also have a great craft beer selection on tap and I enjoyed a Hazy, but it took quite a while to come out as they were prioritising takeaway services over those in the restaurant. The restaurant itself has a range of booths and bar style seating and has multiple sports screens. They serve beer by the pitcher here so could see it as a great place to watch a game.

This place is excellent. Not overly expensive and good quality. Some would say this is the "Chipotle of Mediterranean food", but it think it is much better quality than people expect. Lots of seating and there's casual outdoor dining too. Great place to come with big groups of friends or family. You choose your base, protein, and 2 sides for about $15. That's a pretty good deal and great portions. With the additions of pita bread and basmati rice, it is very filling and lots of carbs! I recommend the Falafel, Pulled Sumac Chicken, or the Chicken Kabob! Very flavorful and tender. Eat it with the Hummus? Top it with the Garlic Yogurt? *chef's kiss* I will definitely be back to try their Beriani Dajaj :)
