They were great at offering recommendations when I asked, and even filled up my water bottle while I waited, which I thought was very kind of them. My food was ready exactly within the estimated window, which is always appreciated. I ordered the Adana Kebab because I'm a big fan of lamb, especially in the Adana style, and I have to say their version is fantastic. The lamb is seasoned so flavorfully and pairs beautifully with the accompanying orzo rice pilaf, the fresh and acidic salad, medley of raw vegetables, and the warm pieces of lavash. They also included their house sauce and a house-made hot sauce, which added a nice bit of punchiness to he meal overall. I enjoyed my takeout meal very much so look forward to going back to try more of the menu fresh out of the kitchen as the ambience was very much a cozy and intimate one.

Fair warning, I usually photograph my food before eating but I was so hungry and it smelled so good that I dove right in and completely forgot. Take that as a sign. I ordered the Chicken Shish Kebab plate with two skewers. The chicken arrived as big chunks rather than on the skewer itself, but no complaints there because it was juicy and full of flavor. The plate also came with hummus, flatbread, salad, rice and a few sauces which made it a really well rounded meal for one person. The unexpected standout for me was the rice. Amazing flavor and perfect texture. Sometimes rice is just filler but this was genuinely one of the best parts of the dish. Will definitely be ordering from here again!

They were pretty nicely busy on a Sunday night but we didn't have to wait too long for our food which was nice. While we were waiting though, we saw an order of the fries that looked super yummy and had to order one. The food was all super delicious. : German Style Beef Lamb Gyro Gemuse: The German Style Gemuse I was nicely flavored with goat cheese, fresh and sundried tomatoes. The first bite I took was pretty heavenly. The plate was also pretty yummy but I prefer the burger form. Fries: We also appreciated the fries which tasted freshly fried. They had a nice density to them and the outside had a nice thicker layer which I didn't expect but was still delicious. Baklava: Their baklava also looked beautiful so we had to try one. We got their cold baklava which was sort of milky at the bottom and flaky on top with pistachio filling in the center. It was really delicious and not too sweet and would highly recommend. I will definitely come back to try their other menu items!

Our group was in town for the weekend and came in here for lunch. The restaurant was open and airy…read more We were seated by the window and the place was pretty empty at the time.

Came to Haight Street to visit Abu Salim Middle Eastern Grill. Rated well and their plate portions…read morelooked amazing. My conclusion... they deserve the praise. We eat a bit early around 4-5pm so there was plenty of seating in the large spacious restaurant. Staff was polite and sat us right away. They served water and a complimentary plate of olives and pickled radishes. Uniquely decorated the vibe was really pleasant. Large windows along the street made it bright and open. We ordered. Beef Kofta plate, Beef and Lamb Shawarma plate, Falafel and pita bread. Free but just ok the olives and radish was underwhelming but I still ate them HA! The pita bread was fair but we still ate them with the dips served along side. The winner overall were the Falafels which came to the table last but I'm telling you they were hot and super delicious not to mention they are very good size which was unexpected. The Beef and Lamb shawarma was very tasty but a tad dry. Luckily it comes with you choice of side dishes which we got baba ganoush when paired with the meat and pita oh so good!! The Beef Kofta was da bomb. Moist seasoned ground beef kabobs grilled to perfection. You can taste the flavor imparted by the grill. Meat was juicy and delicious. $70 plus tip for all this food was a good deal. Note they charge 3% for credit card which these days is becoming more common.

Amazing food, cute and casual ambiance, and amazing service!…read more We had the Arabic coffee, a mixed kabab platter, and the half & half (half hummus, half rice). The chicken kabob was so tender and flavorful -- definitely my favorite! If you're someone who doesn't have a high tolerance for spice, this place is perfect because the flavors are delicious without being overwhelmingly spicy. And personally, the Arabic coffee was the highlight for me! It's honestly one of the best coffees I've had so far. Loved everything about this experience and would definitely come back!

If you're looking for authentic Pakistani & Indian food that tastes exactly like home, this place…read moreis an absolute MASHALLAH. This is not just a restauran - it is an experience filled with hospitality and the comforting feeling of being with family. Mr. Waqar & Mrs. Rabia are most humble people you will ever meet. From the moment you walk in, they welcome you with such sincerity and affection that you instantly feel at home. Mrs. Rabia has a remarkable way of making every guest feel special. She treats everyone with the same care & love a mother would show her own children. The food is outstanding, with generous portions and authentic flavors that transport you straight back to Pakistan/India. For breakfast lovers, the Halwa Puri with cholay is among the best I have had (available any time of the day, 7 days a week, is a huge bonus. The homemade parathas remind me of my mother's cooking, my absolute favorite & something I crave regularly. Chicken Biryani with Shami Kabab bring back memories of home with every bite. The Chapli Kabab paired with fresh paratha is simply irresistible-I can never get enough of it. The Beef Haleem is rich, authentic, & prepared exactly the way it should be. The Lamb Shank served with biryani rice is another exceptional dish that showcases the quality and authenticity of their cooking. Our first visit was only a month ago & since then we have already returned around 10 times. That alone speaks volumes. If you want delicious food, authentic flavors, generous portions, and hospitality that makes you feel like family, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended.

This is more like 3.5 star…read more Was at an event near by, found this place on yelp and decided to try it out. There was maybe one other customer when we reached and I guess that helped with getting the food quicker. I think , most of their curries / entrees are pre made . They also mentioned that they use frozen naans ( probably the ones sold at Indian stores ) but make the parathas fresh. Which was true. It came out piping hot and it's huge in size. We decided to get 2 different combos , so as to try more options. Got Paneer tikka masala, chana masala, palak paneer and daal makhani. The Daal makhani was not as creamy / buttery as it's supposed to be. All tasted decent , and on the milder side I would say. I feel all of them could have used a little more salt. It's reasonably priced . They also had back patio kind of area, which would be nice on a warm day.
