    This is a fantastic family-run cafe.  They get most of their business from the neighboring tech companies in Mountain View.  BUT the business is very much well deserved and not just due to their convenient location for a quick lunch.

    The must-have is the majadara (lentil) plate!  Served on tuesdays and you can do a half ($5) or a whole plate.  It comes with lentils topped with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and fried onions.  Also included (even with the half plate) is a side of pita and pickles!  I like to request a side of hummus to go along with the pita (I recommend doing this!).

    I've also tried a chicken shawarma wrap that was absolutely AMAZING!  Seems like there is nothing you can go wrong with here.  They've also always got a giant tray of brownies sitting near the register that are super super tempting - although I've never caved.

    Sam and his family are the sweetest and truly care about their customers and making sure you get good food in your belly.  I would definitely come back here if I was visiting a friend for lunch on the weekdays :)

    If you come here enough, you don't even call this place "Plaza Deli Cafe," you call it "Sam's."

    Sam's menu is simple breakfast and lunch items.  The best is their specials, and till this day my favorite is Tikka Masala with Naan and rice.  My admin loves their soup.  My boss loves their sandwiches.  And my manager loves more than half of the menu.

    They get fresh bread and bagel delivered to them, so you don't ever have to worry about having something a day old or stale.

    Its not just also the food, its about how Sam treats you and his wife who is his cook.  Her dishes are made with love.  You can definitely taste the difference between restaurant food and her home cooked food.

    And Sam takes the time to know your name and remembers what you like to the best he could.  And he see's a lot of people in this plaza so that is pretty amazing in itself.

    In all honesty, my husband has been raving about this place for years now. But i never got around as it is open only on weekdays for lunch. So this week, i went in specifically for the veggie sandwich. The owner and cashier, the famous Sam, is very friendly and helpful. He recommended the paneer shawarma and i got the sandwich as well. The sandwich is definitely worth the hype my husband had created. Yummy, all the microgreens, avocado and cheesy goodness. The shawarma was very delicious as well, well flavored and light. Lunch done right!!

    This place has the best sandwiches and the majadara plate is one of my favorite. You gotta try the other foods on their menu, and surely will definitely come back to try all of them. The owner is pretty kind and very welcoming. Check it out.
