One of the best meals I’ve had in SF! Everything we ordered was delicious. The mezze sampler was great (especially the muhammara and falafel) - made even better with an order of Samir’s hand kneaded bread! The chicken shish tawook plate was excellent; the chicken was super tender and tasty, and the rice was great. So glad we also ordered the batata harra, they made for a very comforting and flavorful side! We could do without the hanger steak (came prepared medium well), though the salsa verde sauce was good. All around amazing, I’ll definitely be back!
Absolutely delicious and so cozy! The hummus plate and chicken shish tawook were perfect
The service here was prompt and friendly. We ordered shakshuka with cheese and the delicata squash. Both were so tasty! The shakshuka was lightly spicy and they gave extra pita when we asked for more. The squash had a great level of sweet and was excellent! We were happy to dine here and felt comforted by the delicious food!
Just had an amazing meal with my girlfriend here. Highly recommend for anyone looking for some delicious food.
I am veggie and the food was ok, not so many options for me. It’s a fast casual rest. The noice inside was really loud so we have to go outside, prefer being colder than don’t hearing.
The seasonal asparagus with pistachios is delicious! (Also vegan)
Get the Mezze Sampler, it’s all vegan except the small bit of yogurt on the edge.
I think this sampler is the best Middle Eastern food I have had. I never loved baba ghanoush before now. Somehow the eggplant was infused into the baba ghanoush, giving it a savory delicious flavor. The muhammara was sweeter and not so chunky as the ones I’d had before - delicious. To make it vegan, I swapped out labeh (yogurt) for ful (mixed fava beans). The ful was unique and good. To be fair, the hummus tasted like hummus and the falafels like falafel, good and normal. But still!Also the homemade bread with za’atar and sumac was good but just tasted like normal bread.
Pros:- the chicken and beef kebabs were very well cooked and seasoned- the mezzes were each well spiced and flavorful! We got the starter, which also included refreshing pickles and dense falafels- the fattoush was very tasty and included large pieces of dates which was impressiveCons:- the fattoush was very small, it looked more like a side salad for $10- the zaatar bread was underwhelming and quickly hard to break as it got cold- there is a muni railway stop right next to the restaurant and can interfere with the patio dining experience
Cute spot serving Mediterranean fare - we got the mezze platter and the batata harra (crispy potatoes). Highly recommend both, they were delicious and satisfying! Also, get the mint black tea - it is refreshing and flavorful!
