Gada is a unique and innovative new spot, offering delicious wraps built around melty raclette cheese and melawi bread, a Tunisian flatbread I hadn't tried before. I went with the Chicken Melt Raclette on melawi bread based on other reviews, and added potatoes and cornichons as the owner suggested. The flavors were fantastic overall, even if I did feel that the potato was a bit too prominent. It almost overpowered some of the other ingredients, and it seemed like there were some construction issues since the bites where I got everything in one piece were absolutely spectacular, but many bites ended up being mostly potato. I also felt like there could have been more raclette, chicken, and even cornichons, since I got very little of the crunch and tang I was hoping for to balance things out. Worth noting that I did take it to go and ate it about 15 minutes later, so maybe eating it fresh at one of the available outdoor tables would help with the ingredient distribution problem (but not the quantity inconsistencies). I still found it to be delicious and a welcome addition to the neighborhood, and I would definitely be willing to try it again and eat it on-site for a better comparison.

San Francisco has always been a place to grab different cuisines from all around the world. There is a diverse population in San Francisco which offers a dish from almost every continent in the world. I have been fortunate to try almost every delicacy from around the world in San Francisco. There is one I haven't tried and been meaning to try. This spot just opened this year and it serves cheesy wrap sandwiches like some in SF but with a different flavor and with a Parisian twist .It's located on Market street in the Castro and it's called Gada. On a Market street stroll on a sunny day I landed at Gada. This place is a small restaurant which serves Tunisian sandwiches which appear more like a wrap. They have a few tables outside but the majority of is for take out. Inside you will find the Salami Crunch -Cheese me up-and the Savory Ham Raclette -Say Cheese-in SF. I got the -Cheese Please ! - on Melawi bread. It came with roasted potatoes, caramelized onions and Raclette cheese. It was kind of cheesy like some in SF. It was tasty and savory and bread was not flakey. I then also tried the Prosciutto Di Parma Melt -Holy Melt-and it was delicious and a unique sandwich and wrap to the landscape in the city. San Francisco is the city I was born and "bred" go to a place in SF and watch the raclette cheese "shred"and watch the cheese melt and stretch then "spread"on what looks like a wrap but it's "Melawi bread" San Francisco has many diverse cuisines all "four season" from "Indonesian"to an inspired cheesy treat that's part "Parisian"in SF at Gada on Market street which serves flatbreads sandwiches which are "Tunisian"

My friends and I met for lunch at Gada, and upon arrival, we were intrigued by the hole-in-the-wall that was cranking out sandwich wraps at a marathon pace. There were about eight sandwich options to choose from, and you could order your sandwich wrapped in melawi or on a roll. For the three of us, we ordered one Classic wrap and one Prosciutto melawi wrap to share. While we waited, we watched in anticipation as each melawi was rolled and cooked on a griddle to order, and the raclette was poured from a wheel of melted cheese. Our wraps were prepared in under ten minutes despite the steady stream of incoming orders. Since there was no indoor seating, we took our wraps to-go and enjoyed them at some tables outside. My favorite of the two was the Classic, which includes roasted potatoes, cornichons, harissa spread, and melted cheese. The combo of these flavors and textures was unique (creamy, spicy, rich, crunchy) but totally worked! The melawi wrap, which was thin and chewy, reminded me of roti or a savory crepe. I've never tasted anything like Gada's wraps, and I'm looking forward to returning to try the rest of the menu.

I love all things cheesy, so of course I was so excited to try this new raclette spot! At around 11:45am on a Saturday, there was a very short line. I ordered the prosciutto with melawi bread. This was my first time trying melawi bread, and it was amazing! Honestly, I can probably just eat plain melawi bread on its own. However, I really wish there was more cheese. The cheese also didn't taste as good after it had cooled. This was unfortunate - because there's very limited seating, we had to walk two blocks to find a spot to eat. And by then, the food had already gotten a bit cold. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, but it's not something I'd go out of my way for.

Sausage and onion sandwich with melawi bread

Incredibly good sandwiches, very generous fillings with high quality ingredients. Mo, the owner, is super nice and will tell you all about his sandwiches and more. The melawi flatbread is definitely worth the $2 extra. Sandwiches are well packaged inside a paper wrap and then inside a box. Clearly a lot of care and quality goes into this food and it's worth every penny!

Prosciutto raclette sandwich

Food 5/5 on originalism, portions, and freshness. I enjoyed the prosciutto sandwich on the traditional melawi bread, with potatoes and harissa sauce on top of the vegetables. Service 5/5 - the owner was super friendly and is clearly trying to create a community vibe Ambiance 3/5- it is walk in / takeout only, so you're not going for the atmoosphere. but the owner is super friendly and was playing Italian pop and singing the music, which heightened the vibe. You can sit on the chairs near the Castro & 18th intersection,

Sausage & Onions Raclette ($15.99)

My lactose intolerant peeps, you're going to want to make an exception for Gada. Life is short. Eat the cheese. Suffer later. Well, more like your co-workers or loved ones have to suffer through your booty burps. But, whatever. Quietly opening last month, Gada is a takeout spot serving something new and unique to the city: Tunisian Raclette! This is a one-man show with freshly made melawi bread so come with patience. No seating. M E N U Currently, there's only Tunisian Raclettes available with potatoes, prosciutto, salami, sausage, bacon, grilled chicken, ham, or mortadella. Choice of melawi bread or torpedo roll. Crêpe and waffles to come. Unfortunately, there was a break-in and their cooler was destroyed so no drinks for now. If you live/work in the area, there's a 10% neighborhood discount. F O O D * Grilled Chicken Raclette ($15.49): https://tinyurl.com/mu2e7d4c For structural integrity and faster cooking, Gada's melawi is made as a flatbread rather than the usual flaky, paratha-style version. Fresh off the griddle, the melawi is delicately crisp and satisfyingly chewy, packed with tender, turmeric-spiced chicken breast, sautéed peppers and onions, and a generous layer of molten cheese. It's finished with fresh spinach, arugula, harissa, honey mustard, and cornichons for a bright spicy tang. The wrap is SO delicious and well-balanced, neither greasy nor heavy. * Sausage & Onions Raclette ($15.99): https://tinyurl.com/vnk9yh3c Same as above but with sausage link slices. S E R V I C E The owner, Moe is incredibly warm, gracious, and hospitable. If you're in The Castro area, def give this new small business a try. Oh yea, Gada is open until 2 am on the weekends making it the perfect stop for the drunchies after a night of grindin' at The Cafe next door!

Salami sandwich

I really hope this place stays around for a long time! The owners are super super nice and took care of me even though thy had technically closed. I came because I saw all the IG posts with the raclette but oh maaaaan videos cannot do justice to how amazing the melted cheese tastes. Seriously so good. Gada is a little shop off market next to the chevron in the castro. Very intimate, not much room inside. It sorta reminds me of a crepe stand, since they have the two grills set up in the back. They make the melawi bread to order - the guy takes a hunk of dough, rolls it out, and then heats it up on a griddle. It sorta reminded me of a paratha. The only downside is that there's not really any seating around the place and raclette is best eaten right away or at least while it's still pretty hot since it's a ton of beautifully melted cheese. So find a place to stand and eat! Def make sure you go early - sometimes they run out of stuff and close for a little bit (like today they closed between 1:45ish-2:30 and like, 3:20-4). Luckily there was plenty around so I walked around the castro and came back. The guy was super super nice though, and recognized me and was like you came back! And made me a sandwich even though they were closed. Lovely people running the shop, amazing bread, amazing cheese, will def be coming back for this!

Holy shit - I just discovered the joy of have a sandwich wrapped in malawi bread!!! The prosciutto raclette is SO good. Can't wait to come back

I came in to Gada for lunch and ordered the sausage and onion Malawi bread sandwich and the salami one. My sister and me split half's so we could try both. We enjoyed both sandwiches. Love how the melted cheese was just like dripped onto it. There is only a small ordering counter there but a couple tables and chairs are available in front on sidewalk. Staff was nice.

This shop is located right next to The Cafe. It's a tiny shop, so take out only. The owner is friendly. He mentioned he will soon carry pistachio tiramisu. Yum! Currently there's 6 items on the menu. I opted for the chicken raclette melt on melawi bread. I didn't get a take out box but instead it was in a paper bag. Unfortunately it's a bit oily. When I finished it, there was at least a teaspoon of oil at the bottom. It's quite filling too but the flavor is good. It was my first time trying raclette cheese. It's a bit funky. I can't wait to have it again.

Prosciutto Di Parma Melt

Conveniently near all the bars and gyms. Lite, healthier and fresh. Some seats outside.

We love raclette and were so excited to try this spot! We actually liked the place that was here before this so we were sad to see it go, but we are always excited for cheese! The shop is really small and there was a line out the door when we arrived on a weekday afternoon. That is typically a good sign. We were walking our dog so I went inside to check the board and choose my order and then switched with my husband. After about 10 minutes he texted me to say that they were out of what I wanted and really only had two options available so we went with the Proscuitto di parma melt (aka the holy melt). A few minutes later I came up to the window to check on the order and my husband was eating a ferrero rocher. I guess they were handing them out to people in line because it was taking so long. I thought that was very nice. Another 15 or so minutes passed and my husband was near the front. I saw the sandwich maker give him a pickle he had dipped in the raclette as another snack and thought that meant he would be coming out soon. It was another 10 minutes at least before he got his sandwich. The issue was that there were 3 people inside but only one was actually working. There was one man making the sandwiches and another man "assisting" him and then a woman just standing there. I did see her take a few orders but that was all. I can be sympathetic for a long wait in SF, especially for good food but this was too long for the line and definitely too long for what we got. For $20 we got a wrap with cheese and prosciutto. The raclette was ok but the novelty is muted when the majority of people are outside and can't really see the service of the cheese through the dirty windows. It's a half round they place on a warmer. The star of the meal was by far the prosciutto. It was salty and delicious. Overall though, we left underwhelmed and having spent a long time standing there waiting. For context, after I came out of the shop initially and my husband went in to order, I saw a man go into a barber shop for a haircut. He was finished and on his way before we were. So, while I didn't actually time the wait, it was excessive and not worth it. The sandwich was ok but I wouldn't return here. I do understand all the 5 star reviews flooding a new raclette place in SF, but it's really important to be honest about your experience on here to manage people's expectations.

The iced Thai tea was well-balanced and not overwhelmingly sweet. The chicken waffle was also good--especially the chicken itself. It was lightly battered and crisp to perfection. I do wish the waffle was more toasted since it was a bit soggy even with barely any syrup. The fruits were fresh and tasted really yummy. As for the PaNang omelette, it was delicious!! It's filled with meat and vegetables, so it's pretty hearty. The curry was so good and had just the right amount of spice. I would highly recommend the PaNang omelette.

I made a reservation through Yelp but it seemed like they don't really check yelp for that so I would recommend to call for a table. Luckily, we showed up 30 mins early and there was a corner table near the kitchen available for my party of 5. I had the smoked salmon toast because I'm a basic bitch but whatever it was really yummy with a nice fresh half of avocado, salmon, capers.. all the fixings. The only issue about it was the two giant patty sized slices of red onion was intense. I only ate one ring of it because that's all it needed but I guess it's better for the option of more than too little? Idk not that serious. It came with a side salad that looked undressed but whatever magical dressing they put on it.. hello I need the recipe!! Peach Bellini pitcher was yummy and the brut was acceptable. My party of 5, including 2 brunch fiends and two fabulous locals, said they all really liked the food. If I'm in the area I would definitely come again!

"And I shall watch the ferry-boats And they'll get high…read moreOn a bluer ocean Against tomorrow's sky" (Van Morrison) The blue waters of the San Francisco Bay serve as a beautiful backdrop to the San Francisco Ferry Building Marketplace. It's more than just a food hall, it houses over 40 restaurants, cafés, and retail shops, so if you're looking for food, beverages, groceries, consumer goods, or bakery treats, the odds are excellent that you'll find it here. Oh, and they host a Farmer's Market three times a week too. The building has been around since 1898. Its name traces back to what was located on the site in the 1870's - a ferry boat house that was the only way most travelers and commuters could reach the city. Today, the building offers 65,000 sq ft in the first-floor Marketplace space, plus over 175,000 sq ft of upper floor office space. The Marketplace was buzzing with visitors on the day we stopped by. The building is gorgeous with a very high arched glass ceiling that lets natural light pour in on sunny days. We strolled through the Marketplace, stopped at Humphry Slocombe for ice cream cones, grabbed a bench outside on the pier, and just enjoyed the waterfront views and the great San Francisco vibes.

Same predictable crowd, just with different faces--fresher, younger, and probably with higher valuations. I'm here on a Thursday, right when the circus rolls into town. The food trucks and artisanal tents arrive to feed the hungry, self-proclaimed "elite" crowd. You know the type: tech bros and corporate mid-managers willing to wait forty minutes in line for an organically harvested heirloom radish just to feel something. Yet, against my better judgment, I kind of miss the hustle of coming out here. There's a manic, beautiful energy to it all. It's comforting, in a twisted way, to see those who stood the test of time. Take Gott's Roadside. It's a temple to the American classic, and by a wide margin, the best damn burger I've had in San Francisco. No unnecessary pretense, just grease, beef, and execution. I'm making it a personal mission to crush one before I escape next week. But let's be honest. The RoliRoti Porchetta Truck is the real, singular reason we are here. A traditional Italian sandwich hacked apart on a folding table on the sidewalk. It is a certified delicacy in this town--fatty, unctuous pork, crispy skin, and herbs, stuffed into a roll that has no right tasting that good. It's the kind of street food that makes you forgive this city for everything else.

The rather delirium-inducing high humidity in SF at the time made me and my sis search for any cool-food spots in close vicinity, and, wow, the bingsoo here......one of the best that I've had. It uses silk thread shaved ice, which makes the ice even *more* melt-in-your-mouth. We particularly had the mango cheesecake thread shaved ice and although it's kinda silly that it has a thick cheesecake slab on top of the shaved ice (very YouTube-mukbang-esque lol) it made the whole bingsoo filling. Also, major props that the mango chunks are freshly cut and perfectly ripe!!! We also had the triple berry waffle. Amazingly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Not overly sweet either. The fruit in this one also tasted like it was fresh off of a farmers market. Overall very quite pleased on both desserts. Lots of care seemed to be put into them. Restaurant-tier for sure but at a low-key mom-and-pop cafe.....kinda like the best of both worlds. :p

Whipping Joy Small…read morecoffee and sandwich shop in Lower Nob Hill, that also has quite a selection of baked goods, as well. We were staying nearby and both needed an afternoon pick-me-pick-me-up and decided to give this place a whirl. The Good: *Both of our drinks were good and had good flavor. The peanut butter cream latte especially had a good mix of peanut flavor with the coffee to make it like a little dessert. *Bamboo Latte had good matcha flavor and little to no sweetness, which is how I like it. The Meh: *There was one guy working the register and being the barista all at once and he really seemed to hate his job. Which is ironic given the name of the establishment. *Please make sure to tell them "for here" if you're planning on staying to drink your coffee. Otherwise, they automatically will put it in a plastic cup and you know how we really need more of those in the trash. The Ugly: *Overall the store interior was grungy and unclean. We're not usually the type of people to gripe about a little dust, but the floor had huge dust bunnies, dead flies, and ants taking care of said flies. The tables were also crummy and sticky upon our arrival. Conclusion: Decent coffee but questionable cleaning habits.
