Absolutely stellar food. The hummus is the creamiest, most heavenly I have ever had. Marvelous lamb, fish & the eggplant is magnificent. The cheese filled freshly made falafel are glorious. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more highly. When I go in, the staff are friendly...Read More

Great fresh dishes with wonderful outdoor seating. The salads are really impressive with fun and inventive combinations. The house made fruit drinks are delicious. Alcoholic drinks are a bit pricey, but I guess that’s normal for Bay Area these days

10/10 recommend Pomella :) My mom and I were looking for some comfort food after a trip to IKEA! The food was the freshest middle-eastern we have had in CA. Pleasing to the eye, mouth, and heart. Fresh, unique, satisfying salads and saffron rice bowls...Read More

Wonderful place along Piedmont. Food was tasty with a variety and satisfying serving sizes. Shawarma-Spiced Lamb was great with the rice bowls. Couscous with chicken was also quite good. A myriad of drinks available. Plenty of vegetarian options with good hummus. Outdoor is comfortable, tucked away from the street...Read More

Always fresh and full of flavor. Pleasant ambiance. Could use a kids menu though (I legit had to go next door to Doña and get my child a kids burrito to avoid paying another $20 entree)

The food is tasty. The pita is delicious and so is the hummus. It's more than just basic Mediterranean fare. It's elevated.

I barely ever leave reviews but had to rave about the Brussels sprouts!! They are so amazing, sweet and savory, perfectly crunchy…that goes for the spiced nuts as well. Both were so good. I also ordered the hummus plate with falafel which was really good...Read More

Mediterranean food with an expansive and impressive menu. The roasted eggplant with tahini was spectacular! Also enjoyed the chicken tagine and almond baklava. Purchased the green hot sauce and, while good, didn’t seem spicy to me at all. Parking here is really challenging at lunchtime.

Finally made it to Pomella, a restaurant that's been on my wishlist for a while. Tried the Lamb Wrap—an amazing combo of house-made Laffa flatbread, hummus, cabbage salad, Shirazi salad, and your choice of protein, topped with tahini and green lemon sauce (not spicy). It...Read More

Stopped by for a quick bite on a solo date night. Hot mezzes were delicious and filling. Their sangria on tap was also pretty deadly.

Great food and great service. Amazing Israeli food! I saw some comments about this food being Palestinian but I’m from there and let me tell you it’s not even close to the food there - this restaurant can teach them how to make food. Definitely great Israeli food...Read More

Pleasant spot to hang outside and share little bites with friends. Nice patio and great food. Also have plenty of options for take away, though they do sell out of items by the end of the day.

We had to find street parking a block away. This is a popular area, so build in time to look for parking.Nice patio, good to visit with a family. We saw plenty of families there.No steps to entry, flat surfaces from sidewalk to entry, but the parking lot is gravel.

Delicious, fresh salads (add on the cheese-filled falafel for an extra treat). Delectable rice plates. Desserts that aren’t too sweet. Performances/live music are in the covered outdoor space, which is lovely. Yes they have beer. You order at the counter and they give you a...Read More

Really great, high-quality food with lots of vegetarian options. We at here with our toddler and they had this really yummy grilled cheese with veggies that was made on their fluffy pita bread. My kid was in heaven!
