A little late to leaving my review but went to Lotus a couple months ago and was impressed by their food. The chicken shawarma is tasty with well seasoned meat, a good amount of toom, and the right amount of pickles. The burger was cooked perfectly...Read More

Great place for a quick halal lunch or take out. Variety of items. Best is the back home style chicken or the beef shawarma. It's cuts into small pieces. Restuarant is clean and good service.

Awesome little middle Eastern restaurant. The food was so delicious. We had chicken and lamb shawarma with babaganoush. It’s such a shame that this restaurant doesn’t exist in the east bay.
