"I LOVE their salads here! The pork salad when I'm craving something more hardy and the chicken salad on day where I just want something light. I have to cheat tho, their extra crispy fries are heaven."
"The flavors were all wonderful, especially the tandoori chicken. The Chicken Tikka Masala was a bit shy of chicken bits as well as the Saag Paneer shy of paneer. I would however order again from here, hoping it was a fluke being shy of the proteins."

"First of all, it's been a while since I have viewed a business here. But I had to give Wrap N Kabob its props. I got this via delivery and I was more than impressed with not only the quality and authenticity of the food, because I'm also from the region, but the attention to detail and presentation. Not to mention the price is more than reasonable, I ordered kind of fast and thought I had ordered two skewers but I had actually ordered two extra and didn't notice because that's how much two skewers cost in other places normally. I was so excited about leaving this review, I was formulating it as I was eating. I wanted to promote their business because they deserved it. I know Middle Eastern restaurants but not all of them have received a passionate review from me. I will definitely recommend this place. I plan to order again in the near future. Thank you WnK!"
"Ordered way too much because it all looked so yummy. Got the 2 entree entree, med. salad, hummus, falafel, and yoghurt sauce. All exceptionally delicious. Chicken and lamb kabobs were cooked to perfection. Don't ignore the little purple sumac packages. Really nice touch on top of the rice. Crowning glory was a piece of baklava that was the best I've had in a long time. Highly recommended and a definite go-to for future Mediterranean food cravings."

"Everything is amazing at Joe's Taco Lounge! In fact I've been lucky enough to enjoy it for over 30 years. It's hard to pick out my favorites, but some include but don't exclude the entire menu!! Black bean soup is scrumptious, carnitas burrito hits the spot and provides great naps/sleep. Popcorn shrimp fun, the salads and apps rock along with the many many different salsas and hundreds of hot sauces that line the walls. You won't be disappointed! "
"As always another fantastic meal from Joe's Taco Lounge. This time I had the Blackened Prawn Tacos and they were delicious! I called the restaurant to ask if the dish was spicy cause I'm kindof a wimp when it comes to spice and the nice lady made a great recommendation since I was ordering delivery to get all items on the side essentially so nothing would get soggy and I could determine the level of spice I wanted. Worked out well and by doing it this way I was able to reheat the shrimps and tortillas which made the dish outstanding. I also ordered my go to favorite Black Bean Soup that I won't skip because it's so delicious and filling it's always something I eat the next day or day after that. If you like black bean soup this is where you want to order it from. I've been enjoying it for over 30 years! No joke! I'm telling you this, reading some of these reviews really makes me wonder how honest people are, because the food here is great! Might be the best Mexican food in marin. Restaurants don't stay in business more than 30 years when the food isn't good. This place knows how to deliver both figuratively and literally."

"The first time I had their food, it was so amazing I went back the next two days! Organic, fresh and perfectly cooked veggies with great sauces and tasty seasonings and I added shrimp which were great. They were wonderful about substitutions and omissions and I just love this place, their service and their food! "
"I was craving something fresh and healthy for dinner and Humbowl really hit the spot. Everything tasted so fresh and the portions were very generous. I got the Togarashi 2.0, and I'm so happy with the amount of protein, veggies and rice that I got. It was an excellent dinner. The Side: Roasted Sweet Potatoes was enormous. It was an excellent value, and the sauces are so flavorful. I highly recommend this spot, and it's definitely a repeat for me."

"This Spot remains The Hottest Spot in town! Their food is Soooo good, I had to monitor my caloric input/output for the first time in a while these past couple weeks because I've been ordering here every day. Lol. Their Caprese Salad is to die for (so fresh!) and their non-coffee and regular lattes with the added option of the steamed cream... ooof. So yum. Of course their the "mochi miracles" (donuts and muffins) are a rare and artful pastry, but that's a treat I have to be careful with (with its incredible flavors and perfect textures... a girl could loose her shape forever!)--still an amazing GF treat when you just need something special. Try everything! Lol... (seriously)"
