Ordered a large order for takeout and the owner was extremely accommodating and had phenomenal communication! The food was fantastic, wrapped well so it wouldn't spill in transport. The falafel was phenomenal, even some of my coworkers who don't like falafel in general said it was good! I would highly recommend going!Vegetarian options: Falafel is fantastic!

The food is just ok and salty. Don’t think it should be 4.6 stars, it’s way more too high than it should be. The guy was

I came in for a quick bite with my little kids, and the staff was so incredibly kind to us, engaged with my kids (who were not behaving well at all), and gave them a complimentary snack. I was very touched by the customer service, and we will be back for sure!

Had to give Achilles a try with so many reviews.Dee greeted us and was extremely friendly.The 3 of us ordered:-beef plate-chicken plate-beef wrapFood was good. Flavors were nice. Dee gave us each a falafel to try. After going another 2-3 times, I do wish the beef (not sure if its the same as the chicken) was hotter. At times, it seemed almost cold.Outside seating only.4% surcharge for non-cash payments which is a bit of a bummer.Parking is limited in the lot, otherwise, street parking.

I wish I tried this place sooner as I've been driving by it for many years! So, so good. I've had the Achilles Special and Combo plate- both delicious! You won't be disappointed here! I try to go once a week now.

So happy to discover this place. My son got the beef gyro and I got the Achilles chicken plate with the half salad/half rice. We both asked for all the toppings and got the taziki sauce. Their Achilles sauce was yummy and same with the baba ganoush. All was delicious and is now one of my top favorite Greek restaurants (only behind a fancy joint in London near the Tower Bridge)!This San Jose location is in a hidden strip mall but nice sitting outside. I'm looking forward to trying their location in Santa Cruz soon!

Great place to grab a bite to eat to go or sit at the small patio outside. Good falafel and gyro. The plates are a huge amount of food for the price. Also, the hot sauce that they have is really good and has a nice spice to it.

One of my favorite and go to Mediterranean restaurants in the bay area. Amazing taste and worth the cost.They have plates, wraps, and pocket sandwiches. The hot falafels are so crispy and yummy. I usually go for pocket sandwich or the plate. Overall the taste is a bit more sourly.

Food and service were absolutely amazing! The Achilles Chicken plate was perfectly seasoned and came with a very generous portion - great value for the price. Falafel came out still hot and fresh. All of the staff working there were extremely friendly and professional. It was my first time there and they were very welcoming. I’ll be back for more!

Achilles is a middle eastern restaurant that has great plates.Many people typically get the combo plate as you can choose two different proteins or just one protein. Wraps also available if preferred.We ordered via doordash (this review will be based off that experience) and the food came pretty warm still.Overall the beef gyro was a solid choice as it complements the rice and tzatziki sauce wellThe chicken shawarma was a little dry and didn't have as much flavor as expected, but still decentIf you're craving middle eastern food in the santa clara area this is the place!

I ordered the combo with both types of chicken, shawarma and Achilles. I went the whole shabang with my plate which is why it looks so loaded. I appreciated their recommendation as it was my first time there. Their pita is doughy and soft which I enjoyed.The waffle fries and falafel (crispy moist ?) were fried on the spot. I'd come back here if I was craving Mediterranean and in the area again.Looking forward to trying their beef options.

Well how is it that you walk into a place and see former students waiting on you? A former student of mine Gustavo was waiting on me. It's always great to see my students working hard and trying to get ahead -with a great attitudeI work in Santa Clara and see this place everyday. I finally decided to try it with my friend. It's small and simple ( you either get take out or sit on the benches outside), but it's so yummy! I got the beef gyro wrap with everything on it, a side of hummus, and they threw in a couple falafels (so fresh and crispy). It was great for a casual dinner and the service was great too. The benches outside are convenient and the area is covered-as long as it's not too cold it works!The gyro beef was delicious, the wrap was fluffy and the hummus, pita and falafel were fresh and yummyI had dinner (and lunch for the next day)! I took a baklava to go and it was just ok.A little bit stale -I've had better-but that can be fixed!Overall a great place for a quick and casual lunch or dinner or take out.Delicious and reasonably priced!

For all the Muslims it is highly recommended. Although the name is not about monotheism but food is pretty decent. Recommend!
