    Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl ($14), Beef Kebab Wrap ($16), 3 pc Falafel ($4), Fries ($4), Sauces: Toum, Zhoug, Shata (50 cents each)
    Cherylynn N.

    Who remembers "$40 a day" on the Food Network? Rachel Ray would travel to different cities and have a budget of $40 for three meals. I know inflation but these days, $40 in touristy Union Square will get you one pancake dusted with gold flakes...after tax, tip, dine-in fee, zero footprint fee, cc fee, etc. J/k. Not really. Fanoos Grill is one of the few wallet-friendly places in Union Square where you can get a meal and a drink for under $20. And, it's right across from Pacific Cocktail Haven which is how we ended up here. Mainly takeout but there's several stools and a ledge to eat at. M E N U Middle Eastern/Mediterranean wraps, salads, and rice bowls ($14-$16). Choice of falafel, chicken shawarma, or beef kebab. F O O D * Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl w/ mixed veggies, sumac onion, pickled cabbage, tahini tarator sauce, pomegranate sauce ($14) Generous portion of seasoned basmati rice with decently tender chicken shawarma (pulled from a steam tray) and fresh cabbage+onion slaw. The tahini sauce didn't have much flavor and the pomegranate sauce was missing so the bowl was on the bland side. * Beef Kebab Wrap w/ garlic paste, mixed veggies, sumac onion, pickled cabbage, tahini tarator sauce, and pomegranate sauce ($16) My fav of the two, the beef kabob (like adana/koobideh) was cooked to order, beefy and juicy inside a griddled lavash wrap with the same fixings as the rice bowl. The pomegranate sauce was also missing from the wrap. * Falafel (3 pc-$4) Hot and crunchy but kinda dry. * Fries ($4) Can't go wrong with diner-style fries. * Sauces (50 cents each) I love condiments and I don't mind paying for them if they're good. I found the sauces too Americanized. - Toum: Not potent...IMO, even TJ's toum is more garlicky and intense. - Shata: Mild chili sauce. - Yemeni (zhoug): Herbaceous, not spicy at all. S E R V I C E We were the only ones there and food took about 15 minutes. Overall, if you're in the Union Square area and looking for wallet-friendly grub, Fanoos Grill is a decent option.

    Chicken Shawarma Salad Bowl $14ish

    If you come here during lunch, expect a line. My friend and I met here after her dentist appointment nearby. I Bay Wheels biked here--there's quite a few bike docking stations nearby and I also saw some bikes on the bike rack outside! We ordered on a tablet. I got the chicken shawarma salad and my friend got a wrap with no chicken because she's vegan. Shortly after we ordered, the restaurant filled up! It was packed. People were waiting for a while! There's limited bar seating that we snagged by the window, and then some people ate and stood outside on the other side of the bar through the window. The salad was good. Plenty of chicken which was tender and bursted with flavor. I liked the olives and accoutrements. Sauce is extra but I'm curious to try it. There was only 1 guy working there and then when we left there was another guy. Good service. We both took half of our meals to-go. Prices seemed steep but then the portion size helped make up for it. I will certainly be back!

    Union square is packed with nice restaurants, a Jack N The Box, and some other crappy restaurants....but if you want something affordable, fresh, and delicious, come to Fanoo's! It's a Hole In The Wall, but a very clean modern hole in the wall...just a few stools for seating. The $14 Chicken Wrap is long and thick, fresh, and delicious...just like how I like my men. If you just want a light lunch, this is shareable with two people. The sauces are flavorful and vibrant...so good!

    Solid middle eastern style fast casual place in the union square area for a quick salad bowl or wrap. Prices were fair and portions were good and the place was small and clean. I got a chicken shawarma style salad and my only complaint was that they pre shaved the chicken and it was sitting in a warmer but it was pretty overcooked and dried out. The sauces helped but for me the attraction of this sort of meal is the moist and juicy nature of the sliced/shaved meat ! A solid quick casual meal for $16.

    This spot instantly brought Hubs and me back to our favorite Lebanese wrap place in Paris. Like that beloved shop, this one is small and unassuming but packed with flavor. We ordered the Chicken Shawarma Wrap and the Kebab Wrap. Both were bursting with flavor. My favorite was the chicken. I highly recommend getting the sauces on the side, especially the Shata and Thoom. They elevated the wraps to a whole new level. The service was warm and friendly, and it was clear the staff take pride in what they do. Hubs and I will definitely be coming back!

    Absolutely delicious food at a great value. We ordered the Build Your Perfect Meal Box, and it easily fed both of us. The chicken bowl was exceptional. It was richly flavored and perfectly cooked, and the vegetables complemented it beautifully. I especially loved the variety of dipping sauces included: hummus, garlic, and a spicy option. Each one was excellent and added even more depth to the meal. The service matched the quality of the food. The staff member was incredibly friendly, and our order was prepared quickly. While there is some charming window seating inside, it's limited to just four seats, so it may be more comfortable to grab your food and enjoy it elsewhere.

    Ordered the chicken shawarma wrap. Healthy, filling, and delicious. Only critique is that I wish the meat was a little juicier as it was dry when I got it. Maybe because it was end of the day, I'm not sure. But Union square location, ease of order and pick up, combined with very friendly customer service easily makes this a four-star in my book. Area can be a little sketchy at night with homeless nearby, so be careful if walking alone.

    Delicious decently seized shawarma! Definitely coming back again during my short stay in San Fran. The place is small, very nicely decorated. Ideal for a quick bite or take away. The service is fast and the guys are super friendly. Come check this place out!

    Ordered a chicken bowl through DoorDash - not sure if I was upgraded or got the wrong order- but ended up with the box. Definitely a pleasant surprised and a great deal! The food was great and tasted fresh. Definitely would order again.

    Maureen D.

    if you want a quick bite but also fresh and yummy, go here! the place is small, but perfect for togo orders and if you're eating by yourself. theres only one guy working the front but there's people in the back you can't see, other than that food came out pretty fast! The shawarma was so good I could not stop eating it, 10/10!

    Best falafel in my life And very tasty everything thank…read moreyou Very nice place with delicious Israeli/Jewish food. We ordered the shawarma and hummus, and everything was fresh and well seasoned. The meat in the shawarma was juicy and not dry, and the hummus was very smooth and creamy, clearly made well. The portions are generous and very filling. The staff is friendly, service is quick, and the atmosphere is simple and cozy. A great spot if you're craving something tasty and satisfying from Middle Eastern cuisine. I'd definitely come back.

The location on Geary is excellent--it has that perfect neighborhood "bodega" feel but with a polished, modern edge. ### The Vibe & Service The ambiance is casual and welcoming, and the service is consistently solid. It's the kind of place where the staff actually seems happy you're there. On a sunny San Francisco afternoon, their **alfresco seating** is the place to be. There's nothing quite like tearing into a warm pita while catching some rays on the sidewalk. ### The Food The "delicacies" here are the real deal: * **Hummus:** Incredibly smooth and rich. It's clearly the star of the show. * **Babaganoush:** Perfectly smoky and creamy. * **Falafel:** Crispy on the outside, vibrant green and fluffy on the inside--just how it should be. * **Pita:** Hands down some of the best in the city. It arrives warm, pillowy, and fresh. * **Salads:** Don't sleep on the sides. The Israeli salad and cabbage are crisp, fresh, and provide that necessary acidic bite to cut through the rich tahini and hummus. **Verdict:** Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or lingering over a spread of small plates outside, this place delivers. High-quality, authentic flavors with a great community vibe. Definitely a staple in my SF rotation.

When we arrived at around 7:30 pm, there were tables available. It's a comfortable cafe-like restaurant with mural paintings on the wall. Service was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the food wasn't as good as the ambiance and waitstaff. ***OUR PICKS*** BEEF SHAWERMA ENTREE ~ the beef was overly salted, saffron rice was ok, hummus was really thick, like peanut butter. My guy ordered this and thought it was average. 3/5 LAMB SHISH KEBAB WRAP ~ this was my dish. I ate one half of the wrap and it only held two cubes of lamb meat. The lettuce and tomatoes made the wrap bland. The meat was seasoned, but everything was plain, so it needed more seasoning. Honestly, this was missing flavor! I'll have to add something to it when I eat the rest of this wrap at home. 2.5/5 HALF ROASTED CHICKEN AND RICE ~ Our friend ordered this dish. It needed more sumac. This tasted like plain roasted chicken. Maybe it needs more seasoning while marinating. It wasn't dry, so that's a relief. Rice was ok and it wasn't dry or soggy. 3.5 We've been spoiled and have had better food in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Nothing stood out for any of us. Prices are a bit high for what you get. Sadly, probably won't be back.

My new favorite dip is the Mercimek Kofte which is a red lentil based chunky dip ; I would've guessed garbanzo bean based dip. The Haydari dip was also super addictive, a thick creamy dip made of kefir cheese and Greek yogurt. So many delicious but gut healthy items of the combo plate; which comes with thin lavash bread.
