Dish N Dash – Milpitas

What used to be on On the Border Mexican Cantina is now Dish n Dash at its larger location. They made some modifications and removed the Tex-Mex theme. The eastern Mediterranean (Palestinian and Lebanese?) food that Dish n dash offers is quite good. Winners are chicken or beef or lamb shwarma. Falafels are crispy and a good choice as well. The entree dishes are on the heavy side as they are smothered in a yogurt sauce. We didn't try the kebabs. The restaurant is large, and the clientele is diverse. Couples, families, and large families are present, and the full bar is a good place for singles and couples. There is no host or hostess to bring you to your table. Grab a menu, order at the counter, and find a table. The dining experience is casual, and there is no rush. Parking is not an issue. The lot is large. Colorful, vibrant, approachable, and tasteful, these are qualities one would like in any person, and these qualities apply to the food at Dish n Dash as well. Give it a try if you're in the area and looking for something different and good to eat.

We went for a weekend dinner and had a fantastic experience. You order and pay at the counter. They will then hand you a number plaque and bring your order to whichever your table you chose to sit at. There is a counter with 4 types of sauce in sauce dispensers: garlic yogurt, chipotle tahini, cilantro mint, and spicy sauce. Neatly placed right by were are napkins, small plates, and to go boxes. I absolutely love that customers get unrestricted access to these items to give them the best dining experience. We shared veggie delight as an appetizer and it was a great start to our meal. It's hard to beat warm, fluffy pita with a platter of tasty mezzes. I got a medium salad with beef kebab with grilled veggies and lentil soup as sides. Juicy tender pieces of flavorful, marinated beef on a bed of veggies made such a satisfying salad. Grilled veggies were alright but the lentil soup was so rich and comforting. I tried the pulled chicken wrap and thought it was also delightful. The chicken was so succulent and packed with flavor. The garlic yogurt sauce was definitely my favorite to pair with these dishes. The portions of our entrees were huge so we both ended up with leftovers. Service was quick, polite, and warm.

As a vegetarian, I’ve sampled my fair share of meatless options, but none quite compare to the flavorful experience of their falafels. Each bite bursts with a perfect blend of herbs and spices, leaving my taste buds thoroughly satisfied. But it’s not just the falafels that shine. Their menu offers a variety of options, including the chicken falafel plate and a delightful chicken biryani dish. What sets them apart is the ability to customize your meal with a choice of sides, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience. The ambiance at dish and dash is welcoming, and the seating arrangements are convenient for both solo diners and larger groups. The staff members are friendly and attentive, making sure every guest feels well taken care of. However, it’s worth noting that the only downside I found was the pricing. While the quality of the food and service justifies the cost to some extent, it may be a bit steep for those on a budget, hence reducing a star here. Overall, this place is a fantastic choice for anyone craving delicious vegetarian options or flavorful Middle Eastern-inspired dishes. Just be prepared to splurge a little for the culinary experience. P.S- beef here is not halal, other meat options are.

I typically won’t go these type of restaurants. But the food here is very good! I ordered salmon salad and they were fresh! My salmon was soft and perfectly cooked (not too old at all), and the salad included lots of different kinds of veggies with a good taste together! The mango smoothie was also good!

The food is delicious the only thing is you have to order and find your own seating but definitely coming back to their other branches too
