Map of Burlingame

Burlingame and surrounding area, locate the restaurant called Taste In Mediterranean Food

Put simply, this unassuming spot spins out the best shawarma and falafel on the Peninsula. It's a pay-at-the-counter kind of place, where refrigerator cases display Mediterranean dips, salads, and spreads, while tempting trays of baklava make the mouth water. On a warm day, grab a table on the dog-friendly sidewalk and enjoy their Medi-Middle Eastern goodness. A vegetarian plate of crispy falafel hits the spot; made with chickpeas, parsley, garlic, spices, and served with tahini sauce, creamy hummus, and a fresh cucumber, tomato, and red onion salad. If craving meat, go for a lamb shawarma pita wrap—shaved slices of spit-roasted lamb heaped into a pita with roasted potato, fresh vegetables, and topped with garlicky yogurt and a drizzle of spicy red aïoli.
