Dishdash Middle Eastern Cuisine

A friend brought me to this restaurant on a weekday night to experience fine Mediterranean cuisine. Even on a weekday, it is packed with people and a reservation is a must. Interesting, the only coffee that they serve is Turkish coffee although they have a few choices for tea. As we were that hungry, we skipped the appetizer and go straight for the main courses of lamb soaked in yogurt. The verdict is that the meat is definitely well prepared and the taste is great. A point to note that this restaurant is quite pricey but yet it has a huge crowd of customers even on a weekday evening.

​I have been visiting this Dishdash location for over 10 years, and while the service can be a gamble, the kitchen is remarkably consistent. ​We have a few non-negotiables every time we visit: ​Lamb Mansaf: Always tender and flavorful. ​Vegetarian Zahra: This roasted cauliflower dish is phenomenal. Interestingly, this seems to be the only Dishdash location that still serves it, and it's worth the trip alone. ​Fattoush Salad: Perfectly executed. It’s crunchy, tangy, and incredibly refreshing. ​The only downside is the service, which is hit-or-miss. During our most recent visit in February 2026, our server seemed rushed and lacked basic politeness. It’s a shame because the food is 5-star quality, but the hospitality doesn't always match. We’ll be back for the Zahra, but we've learned to set

Yesterday we visited this restaurant and had an amazing experience from the moment we arrived. The staff was very welcoming, and the service was excellent throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious—everything was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The drinks were 10/10; the bartender did an outstanding job, Thanks Ashley. To finish, we enjoyed a delicious dessert that was the perfect ending to a great meal. I also want to highlight the manager, (Nikky) she is fantastic, kind, and a pleasure to see around the restaurant, always making sure everyone is comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend this place. The food, drinks, and service were all exceptional. Definitely worth visiting!

I have such mixed feelings about this restaurant. Some of the food was excellent and some was terrible. There was no in between. We went for dinner on a Saturday of the Thanksgiving weekend, and still the restaurant was quite full, which is impressive. The restaurant itself is pretty large with a lot of different sections. We were seated in the last section and the space itself was cozy. The service was attentive. Let me start by the things I loved The house pita with the zaatar dip is excellent. It is complimentary but was definitely one of the best things I ate that night. They were also not stingy with it, and we got two or three refills. The falafel was extremely fresh, and the toum was so garlicky and creamy. The muhamarra and rest of the mezze excellent as well was excellent as w

One of our favorite restaurants in downtown Sunnyvale. Food always excellent, friendly service, and a buzzing atmosphere. Lots of vegetarian options, but also dishes with lamb or chicken. You can already fill up with the lovely appetizer sampler with lots of dips and fluffy pita bread. We also held a fantastic birthday dinner party in the private room with our own server and a private bathroom. Everyone was raving about the buffet dishes and the lovely party.
