    Been here a few times prior to posting on Yelp and things haven't changed whether I'm here with one other person or a team of 10 Barcha has you covered. Fun Mediterranean deco and vibe to the space makes it very welcoming and comfortable. As always Tapas style wins the day for me, Mediterranean themed food with absolutely amazing flavors and top notch staff. The Moroccan Cigars and the Trio of Spreads were excellent, but the absolute winner for the evening was the Persian Tahdig (duck leg) was over the top!

    I've been to Barcha for dinner about two years ago and my team and I all shared a bunch of tapas. It was a positive experience and everything we ate was delicious. But my visit recently left me a bit disappointed. I tried the Persian Saffron Rice with chicken shawarma and it was delicious! It tasted fresh and the yogurt tahini blended really well with the protein and veggies. But the portion was quite small and for $31 for a rice plate, I was expecting a bit more. There was a small amount of chicken and honestly I was at least expecting more rice. The service was great though, my server was attentive and checked in on us despite the restaurant getting busy during the lunch hour on a Wednesday. It's a really nice spot overall either for a date night or lunch with coworkers but I wish for the higher price points that the portion sizes were just a bit bigger.

    Chicken and Speck Ham Croquette

    We decided to host our Office Holiday Party at Barcha and it was a great experience. From the very beginning, Sarah the event coordinator was very communicative and answered all our questions and helped make the planning super easy. We originally were booked for the front patio, but since it was raining, they moved us inside to the Medina Space, which was a cute semi private area. But since they blocked it off, it felt very private. We ordered 5 different appetizers: roasted Brussels sprouts, beef dumplings, Morrocan cigars, chicken and speck ham croquette, and hummus with Turkish flatbreads. We had the fattoush salad as one of our four courses. For entrees, we ordered 4 to share family style: rack of lamb, seared prime rib steak, vegan kofta lamb, and falafel plate. And for dessert, we had the Meyer Lemon Meringue Tart. Overall, our experience here was amazing. The service was top notch. Everyone was so accommodating to our needs. The food was really good too! The standout for me was the rack of lamb and the vegan lamb kofta. The rack of lamb was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The vegan lamb kofta was a surprise. If you didn't know it was vegan, you wouldn't be able to tell. It had the texture of sausage and flavor was just so good. We highly recommend this place if you're looking for some amazing food and service.

    Barcha was amazing. Food was so flavorful. We got the spiced beef dumplings, which were so unique and nicely filled, the dip trio and lamb. Service was amazing, and the place was so nice inside. Great for a date night or business meal. Will be back

    Spicy Beef dumplings, octopus
    Anita C.

    This place is phenomenal. I came here 2x in one week. The first time was Monday and I came with a friend. We got beets, croquettes, spicy beef dumplings, octopus, and barcha hummus. The croquettes literally surprised me because they were so good. I had no idea what was about to hit me. The honey on top was unique and made it all work so well. The spicy beef dumplings again shocked me because it was so good. It's perfection. Octopus was a little tough especially at the end where it's thinner. The hummus was not special either. The second time I came here I got croquettes, beef dumplings, cigars, chicken kebab, and trio dip. The chicken kebab was amazing. Super tender and the "rice" they served it with was also amazing. The cigars were really good too even though I tend to not like lamb. I would definitely come back here at least once every time I'm in town.

    Vegan Lamb Kofta
    Sanskruti D.

    I really liked this dish. It was vegan and so good and the kebabs were so yummmm, esp with the broccoli and tomato. I really liked it. The restaurant is a bit in a pricier side. The derive was great, very attentive and kind people. We also tried their Barcha Hummus and the normal hummus and even that was really nice. Overall a good experience. The ambiance was great as well, we went in a sunny day and sat outside.

    Nice place for celebrations and dates. Spacious but intimate interior gives the right feel. The service is welcoming and food was great every time I visited. Was not a fan of their drinks (natural wine and non alcoholic drink I tried were not well balanced) But overall the place is worth coming back

    Went during lunch on a Wednesday and the place was popping. Lots of people coming and going since it's opening time at 11:30am. Was super busy. The restaurant itself was kind of tightly spaced inside. Hard to walk around with the servers also buzzing about. That being said the decor is nice. The lighting could be brighter but wasn't that must of an issue for me. The service was ok. I think our server was sooooo busy we didn't quite get water refills till the end of our meal. But once we ordered the food it came out pretty fast. The food was delicious. The Lamb cigars (basically their version of lumpia) had tender lamb meat paired with a tamarind sweet and sour sauce. Was very good. Their grain salad with added avocado was all delish. The vinaigrette was not over powering at all. I enjoyed me time here and would definitely come back!

    Pistachio tiramisu
    May N.

    Made a reservation for a team lunch in the morning and there was availability for the same day for 7. We were seated outside in a covered area where there are heat lamps so it was a great outdoor spot while not being cold. Ordered: Classic Hummus - it's what I expected, great as a shared appetizer Barcha Hummus - came with halloumi and beets, a nice twist on a classic hummus. A little sweeter with the beets and a bit of a bite with the halloumi. Delicious, ordering this again! Persian Saffron Rice with Lamb & Beef Shawarma - the rice didn't taste super saffrony, and I thought it could use a little more flavor but when mixed with the shawarma it was fine since the shawarma was plenty flavored. Overall liked it, though I would try something else next time. Pistachio Tiramisu - delicious, but didn't taste a lot of pistachio, nice to have a little crunch but still felt more like a classic tiramisu. Great team lunch spot- would come back. Easy to book and great service. Waiter came by regularly to refill water and we got new plates for every course

    It had been years since I've been to Barcha, but I went back relatively recently for a work dinner. This was actually my first time here for dinner since I've only come for lunch before, and I had forgotten how beautiful the decor is inside, especially at night. Barcha definitely draws an after-work crowd (it is in FiDi, after all). It was already busy when we arrived and it just got busier from there. Good thing we had a reservation since we needed several tables put together. We shared several appetizers and desserts and everyone ordered their own drink/main. The dishes we ordered included the trio of spreads, Moroccan cigars, falafel, beets, blistered peppers, Persian tahdig (so good!), and the pistachio tiramisu. The prices feel in line with this area of SF. One downside: someone in our group was vegetarian and the main options for them felt pretty limited. Overall, it was a good experience -- a nice dinner in a convenient location -- though the crowd and energy definitely felt very "work-y."

    Divya S.

    My boyfriend took me to Barcha for Valentines Day and I am so ready to go back! We are vegetarian and left full and satisfied. Appetizers: Fattoush salad, Hummus with Halloumi, Falafel- wow! Salad was fresh and the hummus was paired well the beets. Halloumi was a little chalky but good taste. Falafel was soft and crunchy. Main: Vegan Lamb Kofta- WOW!! the kofta was nutty and toasty, and broccoli was succulent and juicy. Dessert: Pistachio tiramisu- one of the best tiramisu I have tried. Pistachio was a nice touch. Drinks: lychee martini and Spanish sangria- martini was out of the world delicious. Super light. Service was slow - it took 30 minutes for our dessert to come out after we ordered when we finished the main. Drinks took a while to come out too. Other than that, I can't wait to come back!

Every drink had 10,000 ingredients, and most of them did not work together. If the drink did work together, you just tasted nothing because everything blended together and you couldn't taste any special or fun ingredients.  Unfortunately, I don't think this spot is worth looking for.

Seeing that it was named one of the top 50 best bars in North American, we had to check it out! We came in a Thursday night in mid-April about 9:45 PM. They have security outside thar checks IDs & also manages the queue in case the bar gets too crowded. We had no issues getting in, but there were zero indoor seats available - both the bar & table seating. Thankfully, they have a really cozy & well-lit patio area. The waitress let us know that even the outdoor patio has table-side service, so we made ourselves comfortable on the outdoor bench & within seconds she had brought us waters & cocktail menus. Weather outside was really nice, so I'm glad we actually sat outside. Each cocktail is $20, which definitely is a little steep, but I think the creativity, quality, & prestige of being named a top 50 bar supports the price. Each part of the menu is organized by liquor ie whiskey, vodka, brandy, gin, etc. We tried 4 drinks total. I only took menu photos of the pages we ordered from but they have a lot more selections. We ordered the Kung Fu Pandan, Silky Street, Rice Rice Baby, & Tropical Gangsta. We had some favorites over others, but all were very well crafted! The drinks came out pretty quickly considering how busy it was. The only hiccup was our final drink took quite a while. Turns out the ticket machine malfunctioned & deleted orders put in & caused a back-up. The waitress was so apologetic & ended up comp-ing 2 drinks, which she definitely didn't have to but it speaks volumes to the high standards they hold themselves to & their customer service.

Lush velvet booths, a beautiful mural behind a magnificent bar top, and even perfect table ware!! I love when restaurants pay attention to details. Everything I ordered was delicious. The oysters, uni amaebi donburi (Sea Urchin & Raw Shrimp Rice Bowl), Tom Kha Ceviche, and the chicken egg salad sandwich. The bites were truly so decadent, balanced, and well-executed. The oysters were fresh, plump, and perfectly topped with sweet and citrusy flavors. The bite of the night was the uni amaebi bowl. They load you up on sea urchin, shrimp, and roe. It is bursting with flavor, and paired with PERFECTLY COOKED RICE.  The drinks were also amazing! I got the matcha cocktail and the espresso martini. I mean... phenomenal. Everyone wants to do a matcha cocktail, but I don't think a single bar program is going to put one out as perfect as Shoji's. It's delicate and earthy, and the perfect drink to pair with their menu.  Dessert was also good! Tea-based affogatos. They're fun. Ugh, I want to live in SF just so I can frequent Shoji. I will be back for dinner and to try their day time cafe. Get a reservation if you can, it is so worth it!
