A new Mediterranean restaurant in Burlingame serves gyro and shish plates, pide, wraps, and lahmacun. The menu is pan-Mediterranean with Turkish specialties such as lahmacun and pide, beyti with ground meat wrapped in flatbread with tomato sauce and yogurt, and desserts including pistachio-topped kunefe and baklava with ice cream. Breads are made fresh daily, and organic ingredients are prioritized. Early customer feedback shows a five-star average rating on Yelp with 36 reviews and a five-star average rating on Google with over 140 reviews. The restaurant has a larger back dining room for more seating, offers catering, and plans live music events and an expanded menu. It is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
"In its first two months, the restaurant has received a five-star average rating with 36 reviews on Yelp so far, and a five-star average rating on Google with over 140 reviews. "Our chef is from Turkey and specializes in Mediterranean foods," says Fay Du, one of the restaurant's co-owners. "So far everyone loves it.""
"The restaurant makes all of its breads fresh daily, and prioritizes using organic ingredients, she says. Revna Zira, who works at the restaurant, and whose parents are also co-owners, highlighted that the restaurant's back dining room offers much more seating than in the narrow front room, which has just a few seats."
"The menu is pan-Mediterranean and includes Turkish specialties, like lahmacun and pide, often referred to as variations of Turkish pizza, and beyti, ground meat wrapped in flatbread and served with tomato sauce and yogurt. And for dessert, dishes like pistachio-topped kunefe or baklava and ice cream provide a sweet way to wrap up the meal."
"The restaurant also offers catering options and is planning to bring in live music events and an expanded menu in the coming months. Details: Open 11 a.m.-9 p.m. daily at 1851 El Camino Real, Burlingame; houseofkebabrestaurant.com"
