The French toast was just perfectly prepared and the flavors are amazingly on point. Just the ultimate morning sweet treat! Not joking or exaggerating, the bulgogi fried rice was the best I've ever had, and we have some very good options in Reno, but this was served so perfectly cooked, seasoned, and with the best quality beef that it was immaculate. The beef melted in my mouth where usually bulgogi is very chewy, this was not, just perfection. Then, while I would be guaranteed to return for the bulgogi alone, the millionaire's bacon flight was absolutely fantastic. Each piece of bacon was buttery smooth, extremely flavorful, and absolutely tasty in every way. My wife's favorite was the cinnamon, but I think mine was the original closely followed by the rosemary. The citron was sweet and light, the cinnamon was sugary and savory, the original was saucy and spicy, and the rosemary was fragrant and smoky.

We had a dinner reservation at Kapari Restaurant this evening and were very pleased with our experience. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. The appetizers were delicious--especially the stuffed meatballs, one of the classics of Turkish cuisine. The hummus and spicy dip were also very well done. For the main course, I tried the Iskender plate, which was truly tasty. It's great to have such authentic and flavorful Turkish food available in San Francisco. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Isn't that why we all want to live here?!! Penaber has apparently been here for 9 months. It's a cute little place (and it is little with about 6 tables). Pros: Ambience (small but clean with neatly set tables), food (fantastic), location and service. I don't normally rate for service because it takes a lot to bother me, however it's always refreshing when you experience excellent service. Our server easily carries the whole place with quick, attentive service and a heart warming smile the whole time. You can tell she cares (I'm guessing she is part of the family that owns it) and excellent service is the result. They have a nice selection of mostly Duckhorn wines (a little rare in Mediterranean places) with some nice Turkish wines also. I enjoyed a carafe of Duckhorn Pinot and the wife had some nice Turkish white. We shared the mezze platter which was done perfectly. We were offered and accepted more pita to scoop up the wonderful mezes. We couldn't resist a side of fries, because if I'm honest the real test of any place is the fries. They were spot on. I opted for the lamb chops. I have grown weary of lamb chops because most places usually gouge you and give you 2 that are somewhat tasty but seem more like an appetizer. Here you will get a full mini rack of 5 small chops which is generous given the price, and more imporantly spiced and cooked to perfection. Accompanied with 2 different sauces, a small portion of roasted potatoes and vegetables, it is an excellent rendition. We also had the red lentil soup which was fantastic. We are delighted to have a new neighborhood spot we both will enjoy.

I ordered two bowls! Lamb: grass fed ground lamb, ginger and mint, and my favorite of them all! The fresh herbs really enhance the succulent gamey lamb meat. Dip in the garlic sauce or sour cream if you'd like, but they're good on their own. Beef: grass fed beef and onion, Ukrainian raviolis? That might be insulting, sorry! But they are my 2nd favorite. Potato Cheese: great whether you're a vegetarian or not! The smooth creamy mash potato blends perfectly the soft melted cheese. Try it with a sauce. 3rd place! Salmon: my least favorite of the pierogis, but still quite delicious! The salmon is mixed with green onion, parmesan, making this lovely creamy texture.

I went to the restroom unfortunately you have to pass through the kitchen to go there and I was stunned how dirty the kitchen was. On top of it, I noticed they had boxes of frozen samosas from grocery stores as well as frozen momos. So basically this restaurant is reheating frozen food and selling it as fresh Nepali food and hoping no one will notice. The dirty kitchen and reheating frozen food from Indian grocery are not my idea of Nepali food. Hopefully the restaurant will change its way from my feedback. I love Nepali food and Nepali people and hate to give low reviews to small businesses.
