Shrimp Corn hummas
Michelle N.

My favorite Embarcadero restaurant! I love coming to barcha for happy hour! The shrimp and beef and lamb over hummus is my favorite. They have a patio and a cute dining room. Wish they had a larger bar but love them for corporate catering!

Went here for a team lunch on a Tuesday! Beautiful restaurant with plentiful indoor and outdoor seating. Can't beat sitting outdoors on a nice sunny day. Food 7/10 We ordered a lot as a team and shared everything. My favorites were the peach with grilled haloumi, the Barcha Hummus and the spiced dumplings! I wouldn't order the chicken shawarma again. It was pretty dry and flavorless. The tuna tostada was...interesting. A little fishy and quite messy to eat, it was basically a huge chip the size of a cutting board with tubs, sauce, veggies on top. But unfortunately it was difficult to share as everything you tried to cut off a portion, the chip would crumble into small bits. The baklava and soft serve were so so good. If I wasn't on a diet I would've eaten more! Service 9/10 Food came out quick and servers were responsive and attentive! Only problem we had was that they forgot to put our order of falafel in, which they happily removed from the bill at the end. Ambiance 10/10 The restaurant design was probably my favorite part. My coworker said it reminded him of Epcot Center in Disney, which I agreed with!

Turkish Coffee Panna Cottta

Very nice upscale Mediterranean restaurant. Their zaalouk, an eggplant salad served with pita bread, was delicious. The good seafood tangine was a good size with a big filet of fish. The Turkish coffee panna cotta was also delicious. Service was good. I was in and out in about 45 minutes at the start of dinner during Restaurant Week.

Ambiance: Good for a date night. There's inside and outside seating, but we chose inside. Even if it's nice outside, dinner time is when the wind tunnels blow through SF and I wouldn't want my food getting cold. It's pretty dimly lit inside with plenty of couch-like booth seating, as well as regular tables. The noise levels were pretty standard. The bathrooms are hidden behind a curtain. Service: This is where I docked a star. The server we had was so unfriendly. He was trying to rush us to make a decision about food and when we asked him about certain items, he didn't really describe the items at all. He just reiterated the menu, as if we're supposed to know what that meant. We asked about the Tagine and had no idea what it was and he just repeated tagine, which, wasn't helpful at all. We had to keep asking for water because they didn't have someone coming by with water, and when we did, it was like we were asking for the moon. It was so much trouble. Food: Trio of Spreads - very flavorful and served with pita bread. There wasn't enough bread for all the dips, but we basically used other dishes we had to dip. I wanted to clear everything and lick the bowls. Spanish Octopus - one single tentacle, charred and perfectly cooked, however for $26, would I order this again? Likely not. I thought it would be at least two, or a pretty sizeable one. The flavors balanced well, as well as the textures. Spring Lamb Shank Tagine - this came in a closed ceramic cone, which they opened and presented to us very quickly. The lamb was tender and pulled apart immediately with a fork and the meat was so juicy. The surrounding root vegetables were also tender to the bite and refreshing paired well with the heavy lamb taste. TL;DR - Inside seating is nice and not windy. Server was rude and you don't get good water service. Food is tasty. Overall would recommend.

cigars
Dhevan M.

Food was absolutely delicious! Appetizers were very tasty, especially the spicy beef dumplings and the cigars. Kebabs were the only one that was alright. Entrees were still very good too, especially the duck, but the apps were preferred. Service was solid, staff were friendly and helpful in helping us choose the right dishes. Ambiance was great too, dark and moody, with a live DJ.

Date of Visit: 6/3/2026 Barcha is a Mediterranean Restaurant located on near Market Street and on Fremont Street. It was established by chef Kais Bouzidi, with French background. He was also behind the other Mediterranean restaurant Sens and the French restaurant Bon Delire. Marbella $18 I ordered the cocktail made with French vodka infused with basil, elderflower, pressed grapefruit, lemon. Quite refresing. Spanish Sangria $15 One of my friend ordered the sangria with Spanish merlot, brandy, herbed Spanish liqueur, seasonal citrus. Barcha's Hummus $16 We got the hummus recommended by the waitress. On top of the thick and creamy hummus, there were Moroccan carrot salad, snap peas, mint, and on another plate there was a good amount of za'atar flatbread. Fattoush $18 The salad was good too! Romaine, seasonal vegetables, pita strips, mint, smoked feta, sumac, and dressed with lemon vinaigrette. Charcoal Grilled Chicken Kebab $34 The main course of the chicken kebab was great. The chicken was tendered and juicy, at the bottom there was tahini yogurt, aji panca, mujadara, cilantro, and peperonata.

Green goddess salad
John P.

If you're planning to come here for lunch or dinner, book a reservation in advance. This place is surrounded by offices and conference spaces so it gets busy fast. The service was excellent. Our waiter checked in on us regularly, kept our waters filled and was happy to answer questions. Food also came out quickly, around 15 minutes after ordering which was impressive given how full the restaurant was. We started with the spiced beef dumplings and shrimp skewers for appetizers and both were really good. Fair warning on the skewers though, they have a spicy kick so keep that in mind if you are sensitive to heat. For my main I went with the green goddess salad and loved it. The dressing really made the dish. It is on the pricier side, but the food and service back it up. This place is especially great for a business lunch or dinner where you want somewhere reliable and a little elevated.

Daniel S.

The spiced beef dumplings and Moroccan cigars are a must have for appetizers when you come here. Then the entree, steak kebab was cooked very well with juicy flavor. Food is amazing as well as the drinks which I forgot what they were because I was feeling a little buzzed after a few. The place is a little dark so it sets a nice romantic feel to it.

Tuna tostada
Cynthia M.

Crowd favorite was the new item on the lunch menu: tuna tostada! Felt like i was in a Mexican restaurant, not a middle eastern one. The lavash cracker was thinner than a tostada! Hummus was alright. The meat cigars weren't bad, tamarind sauce could have been more flavorful. Small portions, good location for work lunches.

Nicole M.

Wow! The food is amazing - appetizers were my favorite. I can't wait to visit SF again and come back here. Ambience was nice and there's outdoor heater for chilly nights. Service was great as well!

Vegetable hummus plate
Molly L.

Came here on a weekday evening and this place was pretty full. We had a reservation and were able to get our table when our party of 3 was here. Overall, the food was just ok. I ordered a veggie hummus plate and was surprised at how little hummus and vegetables there were. For over $30, I would have expected more. I also ordered a mocktail, which was fine, and the baklava. The baklava wasn't event crispy like I'm used to. I was actually pretty disappointed because for over $80 I wasn't full or satisfied with the food. Everything was just okay. The restaurant was loud and a little crowded and not what I was expecting. Not sure I would return. The servers were difficult to flag down as well.

Short Rib Skewer
David B.

The epitome of a five star experience. Not only are you transported by the interior design, but the food will portal you to another world. We arrived during happy hour and nearly sampled the entire happy hour menu. Of the outstanding dishes, two stood above the others, the short rib skewer and the original hummus plate. The hummus plate was a taste of absolute mastery and the sauce for the short rib skewer was nothing shy of perfection. If not for the hummus being so good, the pita would simply exist to help you sop up that sauce. On top of the excellent food, the service was extraordinary. Prompt and attentive and exuding kindness; from the head chef to the runners, those that work there are devoted to providing an experience of fine and comfortable dining. I also want to say a special thanks to the head chef for making my young son's evening. Not only did you see our needs but you took it upon yourself to see to those needs met before we even asked. When bringing your child out to a fine restaurant like Barcha, one feels worried that the atmosphere will not be welcoming to the sensitivity of your young child. You made certain that this wasn't the case for us. I've said enough--Barcha is what makes five stars shine.

Solid Mediterranean food in the Financial District. Yes, it's mainly people on business trips and business meetings, but it's still an (elevated) vibe. Octopus is delicious, as is their Trio of Spreads (D). Fish is fresh. Service was very attentive. I'll be back!

Friendly, great banter, helpful throughout the escape. The escape game is split across multiple rooms with a good diversity of puzzles. Don't want to spoil too much here but they were good challenges. Drinks we incorporated throughout and presented like test tubes that were drinkable in a gulp, kind of like a cocktail shot. Personally, I found the first two drinks to be a bit too sweet, but I liked the third, which was coconut forward. The price is definitely a bit more costly. It was $100/person for a party of five. I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid. Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it

This place has so much going on. It makes it ideal for so many different things. Hot day? Want to bring your doggie?? They have an airy patio and a bunch of cute tables out front. The patio is covered so when it rains, it's also ideal. Feeling bougie? Order some oysters and a glass of one of their fancy cocktails. Handicapp or have kiddos? They got you covered.

It is truly as delectable as it sounds, and by far my favorite thing there! That being said, I am a french fry aficionado. We also tried the coconut chicken sandwich which I found to be a bit different than a lot of standard fried chicken sandwiches. I did ask for the chili sauce on the side because I don't like it to be too sweet. Boyfriend loved it with the chili sauce. I liked it without. I did order a side of aïoli. Another thing I found really nice was that they use the chicken thigh rather than the breast. Most of the fried chicken sandwiches I've had use the breast and this was a very nice change. The chicken was juicy and the sandwich was super tasty. They offer all sorts of tasty delights, like fish tacos, mochicko chicken bites, mac & cheese with or without bacon and crab! Yum. If I was to make one recommendation, it would be to add another salad to the menu. Your menu offers a wonderful variety of delicious treats that are on the richer and heavier side so having another option for something on the lighter side would be fantastic. The service here was outstanding. We came early on a Tuesday, and the bartender was great. She was very helpful and excellent at her craft.

Started off with their ceviche with local halibut in a tom kha, a spicy and citrus-y sauce. The nori rice cracker was tasty by itself but its crevices weren't the most conducive to holding the fish pieces. The uni amaebi donburi was packed with fresh ikura, uni, and shrimp. I felt that the Korean seaweed wasn't the most appropriate since its inherent salt kinda overpowered the fresh umaminess of the seafood. The shoji burger came with a well-seasoned patty and American cheese, but is served with a 3 cheese fondue skillet. It was tasty because of the gooey cheese. Even with the most coordination and dexterity, it was logistically challenging to eat the burger (especially since they do not serve it with knives) as well as the ceviche/donburi, so I would recommend reconsidering if you're planning a first date or need to impress parents/bosses. For drinks, the kabosu was strong with tequila with a hint of lemongrass and citrus flavors. The noguchii was perfect for those who like smokey drinks! Its strong and intense with a woody smoke every sip. Staff were polite and on top of your social media needs. In addition to the indoor bar/table area, there is a covered outdoor patio with heat lamps and blankets. Would come back for the drinks, probs not again for the food but worth trying!
