Highly Recommended 14 Dinner Restaurants Near Sunnyvale, California

Patrick Densmore Very good vegetarian food and helpful advice when ordering if you’re not familiar with some of the menu items. We have been here for dinner as well as lunch multiple times. This place always seems busy, which is a good sign.

Swati Snata Our team of seven visited for a weekday lunch. Although we had requested indoor seating a day in advance, we were ultimately seated outside. Despite this, the food was enjoyable and the portions were well-suited for individuals. We sampled a variety of proteins, including chicken, lamb, and salmon, along with vegetarian options. ​Menu Highlights: ​Mansaf: Excellent and very creamy. ​Beriani Dajaj: Delicious. ​Mocktails: The Pineapple Ginger and Passionfruit drinks were both great. ​Note: The salmon in the Tabsi was a bit dry, and the Maza sampler was slightly small for a group of 6. ​Overall, it was a positive experience for the team.

sholeh ja By far one of the best vegetarian Indian restaurants. The quality, taste and aroma are unbelievable. Just the right amount of spices, makes every bite an explosion of flavors. Lakhvir Singh is wonderful, polite and very kind.

Watanabe Hitoshi (Kevin) The burgers here are absolutely delicious! They also have a wide variety of beers, and the place has a fun, sports bar vibe. The atmosphere is fantastic!

Andrew Schwafel I love the consistency in the Black Bear Diners. This time I tried the meatloaf which was amazing. The family also had the club sandwich and my breakfast item of pancakes. All of which created a second meal to take home for the next day. The place was not too loud and consistent with other diners. Great food in great service.

akanksha dubey One of my favorite Mediterranean spots around! The portions are generous, the dips are incredibly delicious and authentic, and the falafel are perfectly crispy and fresh. We tried the falafel salad and chicken shawarma and both were excellent. Also loved their fresh juices ..great, healthy options available!

maryam karimi This restaurant stands out for its authentic, traditional Persian atmosphere and decor, but the food is the true highlight. The Gheymeh Bademjan and Jooje Kabob were both incredible—easily some of the best I’ve had in the USA. While the rest of the menu is solid, those two dishes are absolute must-tries for anyone seeking an authentic meal.

Olwen Puralena Great place for all day breakfast. Appreciated that the waitress closed the front door when she saw I was cold. Food was hot, fresh, well prepared, and of excellent quality. Ill be back!

Taro Doboba I think if they just added some fresh perilla leaves to wrap the meat and made the soup tastier, this would definitely be one of my favorite barbecue restaurants. The meat is very fresh and delicious; you can feel how juicy and tender it is. The staff will grill the meat for you, so you dont have to worry about watching it to make sure its cooked just right. I dont remember the specific cuts of meat, but I ordered numbers 4 and 5 of the beef and number 4 of the pork, and they were so good that we ordered nearly 10 plates. I think the price is worth the quality. The staff member who grilled the meat at our table was very sweet; she constantly refilled the side dishes when they ran out and was very friendly. The restaurant is quite noisy, but the space is clean and cozy. You wont be able to make a reservation because its always crowded, but you should definitely go and experience it.

Harshita Jhavar Our family of 9 had excellent time celebrating birthday in this restaurant. The staff was extremely warm. Thr service was fast n food was delicious. They accommodated our last minute request. We tried almost their entire vegetarian menu. Their potato patty vegetarian burger was a blastt!! We will be back!

Brandon Cadelinia This review is based on a 49ers watch party. First off… amazing service by Tony (serving the open tables in the bar area) considering there was loud and fanatic 49er fans, he was upbeat, friendly and very professional. Always checked on tables to make sure we had our drinks and food. Our orders were accurately placed and the food and drinks came out fast. Food also served hot. Very impressed with the venue, service, staff considering how busy it was. Very spacious with lots of seats and tables including outdoor seating. Drinks are priced fairly. Ordered the game day specials. I thought the fish and chips can be slightly bigger in size but the dipping sauce it came with was delicious. Sorry no pictures. Calamari was good too! Will definitely come here again and bring more friends. Thank you Laughing Monk Sunnyvale for an awesome time!

bayareaduo Lados can never go wrong with their zingers and I can vouch on that. Every time, I have their zinger its the same amazing flavor. I also love their zinger paratha roll and pani puri. The place is small and well maintained. The service is great.

John Cisneros We got the Qabili Pallaw, Chefs Platter, and Firnee. They were all phenomenal and flavorful!

Sneha Mirajkar It’s my birthday today and I didn’t want a very noisy celebration so we opted for classic Italian style food place and we went Gumba’s in Downtown Sunnyvale. The place is lovely the vibe is just right, we chose to sit outside for lunch and it was a pleasant afternoon. The service was quick, the staff was kind. The overall atmosphere was great Now coming to the food, being a vegetarian it’s a bit tricky to find places that caters the need and boy was i surprised?? On yeah totally. The menu had so many vegetarian options to begin with The pasta came with a side of soup or salad and garlic bread About the pasta, I haven’t tasted such delicious and delightful pasta in a while, the portions were generous enough and amazing. Absolutely worth it. I can’t believe I didn’t go here sooner. It’s definitely a repeat place.
