Oasis Restaurant

An all-around great dining experience. I went there for lunch and the food was fantastic!

Pros: Ambiance, Service, Food Quality/Flavors

We order the warm flatbread with dipping sauces, which is a MUST! The selection of sauces was delectable and consisted of a cilantro chutney, a garlic yogurt sauce, a red and green hot sauce, and hummus. A really great appetizer to start off with!

For the main courses, we tried the cilantro chicken wrap with a house salad, and the pizza margherita. The cilantro chicken wrap was moist and dripping with flavor. Loved every bit of the half I ate! It was huge, so you definitely great to share or save the rest for leftovers. The pizza margherita was your average tomato and cheese pizza (but what do you expect when ordering pizza at a middle eastern restaurant?). ;) All in all, good stuff!

The staff was friendly and prompt, and there were a variety of dishes on the menu that looked appealing. I would definitely return to try this place for dinner as well!

This is one of my favorite happy hour spots in Pleasanton! The happy hour menu is from 2-5 everyday, 7 days a week. While they've made some modifications to their menu since I started coming, the one thing I always order is the mini beef gyros. The pita is so fluffy and the meat so tender. The pumpkin borani is also quite delicious.

The interior of the restaurant is a bit darker so I always enjoy their outdoor seating when the weather is nice (also can be a bit quieter if there are large parties inside).

Service has generally been good but can a bit slower when there are large parties/lots of customers.

Oasis also has a dedicated parking lot which makes it easy to access!

Value - Not good. Dinner prices listed online are less than what is reflected on the menu. Appetizers are high priced for the portion provided. Mixed drinks are in small glasses,  filled with ice but still average $17/ea. Wine is $15/glass. Pasta dish averages $28 if you add a protein (very small pasta portion but generous size jumbo shrimp that were added).  Beef or lamb dishes $34-$42 that come with a choice of 1 side.

Taste - Good

Service - Server was very nice,  but a bit annoying. We ordered drinks & apps and were asked if we wanted to order entrees.  We indicated that we wanted to start with these first and would let her know.  She came back ften within a short space of time asking if we were ready to order,  even after being advised that we hadn't yet looked at the menu to decide and said we needed some time.  While I appreciate attentive servers,  we felt rushed (there were several available tables,  so there was no one else waiting).  It was kind of like "move it along" while were trying to enjoy the experience together. 

We won't be returning.

I've visited this restaurant twice and would encourage folks to try it for the food and ambiance, but not necessarily for the service.

We were celebrating a friend's birthday and happy with the food we ordered. We shared pumpkin borani (our favorite), eggplant flatbread and royal platter. It was tasty and we enjoyed the flavors, but I would say it's higher on the pricey side

In terms of service, it may just be the server that we received, but service was very slow. They were not aware they were assigned to serve us initially, which we were understanding of. However, we very much noticed later on waiting long periods of time to order food or get checked on - especially when we were able to see our server staying at one specific table and conversing for a long bit while we were trying to get their attention. This went on for the entirety of our visit here.

Overall, I would probably not visit again. Although the food was good, the service really just took a toll on the experience (hence the 3 stars). Combined with the high price tag, I believe there are cheaper and better serviced restaurant.

I was invited to a work event in oasis . All together it was a nice evening , the overall decor and atmosphere were ok.
As for food :
1) we shared a mezze platter - it had the traditional tahini and also had some really nice prawns . It came with pita halves which was ok. 3.5/5
2) for main I got the fried trout which was great . A large portion with yummy fried potato slices . 4/5
3 we also got a few of the dessert platters - I liked the toffee cake . Chocolate cake was just ok . 3.5/5
The service was very attentive but a bit sloppy - waitress was constantly pouring water all over the table and didn't seem to care much .
All together a nice Mediterranean place

It was my first time here and we had the best time, I can't wait to come back! Kenlyn provided quick service. She was friendly, hospitable and created an AMAZING dining experience for us! She honestly made it feel like we were chatting with a long lost friend. She was even able to help us decide what to order and made the necessary modifications to accommodate my allergies! Kenlyn made sure our glasses and plates were always full with amazing food and drinks - what more could you ask for?? There was also a really kind and accommodating gentleman who was refilling our water glasses but we unfortunately didn't get his name. A++++++++++++ for the staff!

Ambiance is romantic with dim lighting, beautiful chandeliers. The tables are lit with lanterns and the outdoor patio was closed for an event but I bet it is amazing on a warm summer day!

I didn't get a picture of the mini gyro appetizers but they were so good and definitely my favorite thing we ordered. We also had the dip combo with bread and the sauces were great, my favorite was the green dip with habanero peppers. The sizzling shrimp kebabs were amazing and I LOVED the lychee rose cocktail.

Parking was easy to find behind the restaurant which is rare for the downtown area!

Overall a PERFECT experience!

I came here with a group of friends last weekend for an early birthday dinner. We didn't have reservations beforehand. We came before dinner rush, so there was no wait. We got seated by the window, so we got a nice view of the street outside. The ambiance gave off fancy but also casual/cozy vibes. It was perfect.

As a group, we ordered the Pumpkin Borani and Potato Bolani to share. I can't choose which one I liked more, because both were delicious. The pumpkin was soft and slightly sweet, and the garlic-yogurt sauce provided a good tartness for contrast. The potato was soft and seasoned well, and the flatbread was crispy.

As for my entree, I ordered the Mediterranean Pasta w/ chicken. Overall, this dish was good but it didn't stand out to me. I felt that the flavor was a little too subtle or lacking for my taste.

Service was good. My boyfriend brought a cake, and the staff was kind to store it for us while we dined. After we finished eating, they brought it out for us. Not just that, they also brought out a slice of their cake. Super nice of them.

All in all, I had a good experience here!

We visited on Memorial Day for dinner. Restaurant was really quiet and not busy. Street parking. Ambience was nice. Food is tasty. We were hoping to try the Persian saffron ice cream, but they said they had not carried it for a long time.

We have walked by Oasis many times, always curious but kept forgetting to try. A friend wanted Mediterranean for his birthday, and thus our first visit (with more to come in the future) was born!

The exterior has always caught my eye; in the warmer months you'll see the patio above the street full of people, with string lights lit above. Has a magical feeling as you walk by.

The interior is even prettier; has a sexy vibe with luxurious decor and dark lighting.

We received the best service we have gotten in years, beating multi starred Michelin restaurants.

We shared an appetizer our fabulous waiter recommended - pumpkin burrata. WOW. A must try. Creamy and flavorful.

The bread brought to the table was unique. Similar to a flatbread?

Two in our group ordered the surf and turf and raved all dinner about it.

I ordered the rack of lamb-- it was the best lamb I have EVER had. EVER. So flavorful and very juicy for lamb. I'm used to lamb at restaurants being very bone heavy, but this was a filling meal.

We shared a bottle of wine, but the cocktail list looked amazing- I saw lychee and a lychee martini is hands down my holy grail.

10/10- can't wait to come back and try more!

The ambiance is nice. Looks like a very fancy bistro. The service was very attentive. The server messed up our order a couple times but made it right. The food was delicious ! We ordered the Royal platter and shared it with my friend we also ordered a hummus platter, a dipping sauce platter and the sampler mezze platter. The drinks were very refreshing. Overall was a good experience.

My mom and I had not been to Oasis in awhile, and decided to stop by for happy hour on a Monday. It was just after 4pm, and there were a couple other tables seated. We grabbed a high top near the bar and ordered beverages and the mezze platter to snack.

Both the happy hour cocktails and the mezze platter were "OK." We enjoyed, but the food and ambience are fairly forgettable. I would choose to explore other locales rather than returning.
