As someone who doesn't gravitate towards Mediterranean food, this definitely didn't disappoint. We got: Calamari (starter) Combo platter (starter) Jumbo Shrimp Fettuccine Marco Polo Combo Kebab Pomegranate Lemonade I feel like I'm already a little picky when I'm not particularly interested in the cuisine but they had an amazing shrimp curry pasta that literally melted in your mouth. They gave prob 10 pieces of shrimp in that dish with a unique curry, it wasn't spicy but still had that curry flavor. Rolled Beef and Chicken Kebab both tasted great and was a group favorite. Calamari was light and crispy, the sauce is a need. Had great tzatziki and hummus from the platter. The Pomegranate Lemonade was so refreshing, I sadly downed it in the first 10 mins. We had a reservation, but the place did seem quite crowded especially with all the offices nearby.
I arranged a work group Holiday Celebration Lunch for 25 People at FAZ San Jose last week and they did an excellent job. I'd scheduled this with Grace, a manager at FAZ, and they had our tables all set up along with menus (a bit shortened to simplify ordering) and appetizers when we arrived. FAZ requests that you order the appetizers on larger reservations a day before - and that is a big time saver. The San Jose Location is fairly large - and the indoor parking garage behind the restaurant is a big plus. The service was excellent - I think they refilled my Arnold Palmer at least 5 times without me ever asking - and everyone enjoyed the food too. Top marks for Food, Service and also convenient location.

I've dined her a couple of times but finally getting the chance to give a proper review. The location is great if you live walking distance around the surrounding nearby apartments, otherwise parking can be tough depending on the day or time you choose to visit. There's a little bit of street parking and some at the parking garage. We came on a Friday evening and the establishment was pretty empty. Service was attentive and great. We ordered a few cocktails from the specials menu and also the chicken kebab entrees. Will definitely come back to dine again.
Good food. Most recently I tried their Salmon which was perfectly moist and the most delicious of all the dishes I have tried there. The go-to place for our office meals. Service is quick. They seat us quickly even if we don't have reservations. (Pandemic after-effects.) Removed a star for its extremely noisy ambiance.
I live close and go there frequently. The food is great! Humus and pita, the sun dried tomato pasta and the beef kebab are my current favorites. The service is very nice! Grace and her team always receive us very well!
Love this rolled kabob platter at Faz restaurant. Nice dine in Five stars for good service and yummy food. Will go back again.
I went to this place with coworkers for dinner. Even though they were bit busy, We were greeted and seated instantly. The kind waitress came over and asked if we needed assistance with the menu also told us their specials. After a quick recommendation she then proceeded to take our orders. The food arrived fairly quick. I got the Greek salad and the lamb shank. (Delish) The lamb was so tender and the sauce was tasty, I couldn't help but order another one to take home. Ambiance. Chill, Group of Family's and after work shenanigans.
First time coming over here with a group of coworkers, I ordered grilled salmon and seasonal vegetables ( they happen to be broccoli and cauliflower), the salmon tastes super good, the grilling process definitely add an additional crispy layer to the soft texture inside, making it much more flavorful. The veggies taste just like veggies, nothing special about it. We went there during lunch time, not sure because of few people at that time or some other reason, the food comes super quick, with almost minimum waiting time, cheers to that. And the restaurant looks neat to me, I liked the vibes and enjoyed the food. Just one thing be aware, the parking is indoor garage which is under the building, limited space but free though.
Grace has done it again!! My wife and I haven't dined here in over a year and half because we had a baby and got busy with work. Well, today we were really craving some kebabs and there's no other place we'd go for it but here. Most importantly, we loved coming here because of Grace; she always makes our experience a perfect one. As we walked in the restaurant for dinner earlier today, Grace remembered us and greeted us with joy as we all shared hugs. We got to introduce her to our 1-year old baby boy! TIME FLIES!! Grace treated us like family and made sure our orders and refills were on time. That's the beauty of this place; Grace is such a warm-hearted woman who truly cares for her team and customers. I observed her helping out with guests, cleaning up, and more. She's the ultimate team player. My wife and I are so happy she was here today. The food itself is perfect as it always is. The chicken kebab is tender and juicy, the rolled beef is buttery and literally melts in your mouth, and the rice is cooked perfectly. I love the addition of their new green sauce! This is almost like a chutney-chimichurri mix. It's delicious and goes great with the meats. We'll definitely keep coming back here. I'll make sure to spread the word about this place to my fellow friends & family members. I'll make sure to let them know, Grace will take great care of you!
