I visited last week, their vegetarian dishes options awesome, I got Mussake, it sauce and cheese ratio was perfect, she explained all the dishes for me patiently, and gave me best options I think, I recommend to all the vegetarian people 100%, definitely will go back again read more

Great food and good service! I went there with four others. I ordered Lentil Soup and Musakka. The others ordered: E: Adana Kebab S: Chicken Doner Kebab A: Lamb Doner Kebab H: Lamb Shish Kebab Each main course came with pilaf, hummus, and green salad. We complemented our main courses with Shepherd Salad and Borek. I highly recommend a visit to Mesopotamia Kitchen read more

This place is good, but I think it's overpriced for 2 chicken kebabs, rice, and a little pile of lettuce ($23). There are many other places in the city where you can get a very full plate: kebabs, rice, vegetables, hummus, salad.. for less than $20. Attached is a photo of the sad little layer of hummus they include. read more

Food had a weird sandy grey material in it. It left me feeling nauseous and now with an upset stomach for 3 days now. Over priced, small portioned, staff was sort of rude, and now not feeling well. There may be a possible contamination issue happening here read more

Do you ever do this thing? You're waiting for the 48 at the corner of 24th & Castro Streets in Noe Valley, and you want to eat, but you don't feel like The Little Chihuahua or Subs Inc. or that breakfast place that keeps changing its name, but the bus isn't coming for a while because it's a federal holiday and Muni is running a Sunday schedule even though it's a Tuesday, so you really feel like walking east on 24th because you're in the mood for a stroll and it's a holiday so people are out, but you're also unsure of where you'll find a nice and cheap enough place to eat, because Noe Valley is famous for replacing nice neighborhood restaurants and cafes with overpriced froufrou places that you'd never be caught dead in, so you debate and walk and walk and debate, and you're annoyed with yourself because you do this all the time, and why can't you just make a decision? Then you happen upon Mesopotamia Kitchen, and you order and sit down and enjoy your food, although it's overpriced and really really messy, but you predicted that, and you like it more and more as you continue your jaunt down 24th, literally, because the street is starting to go downhill, and you decide to walk all the way to the Mission because you've done this out of late-bus necessity before. You never do that? Lucky for you, because I do this kind of thing all the time, and it drives me crazy. Food is good, people are nice. Ambiance is on the meh side of fancy or the fancy side of meh; you be the judge. It's a nice place to eat on a carefree day off from work. Noe Valley usually disappoints, but when it surprises, it surprises well beyond expectations. Or at least my expectations, which for Noe Valley are woefully low. read more

Decent local Mediterranean place. I wouldn't cross town to eat here, but it's close to me and good enough that I don't order elsewhere. Portion sizes are generous, food quality is good, the staff are nice, and they fulfil orders fast. As a sit down place it's very basic. read more

Mesopotamia Kitchen - Sign of the restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is a nice place for a casual bite in the neighborhood! I never tire of Mediterranean food options and this one is pretty good. Mesopotamia Kitchen has a small, simple interior with a few tables, self-serve water, and friendly service (the person behind the counter spoke Turkish, too!). Lamb Gyro Plate: This is a very substantial portion with lots of delicious crispy bits of meat. It came with a nice salad, rice pilaf, and hummus. Just a solid, balanced, and affordable meal. Falafel Wrap: I wish I got a better pic of this one, but it was really good. Full flavors and spice, plus it was not overly greasy. It comes with a perfectly serviceable side of french fries. read more

This is the most underrated stop in all of Noe! Highly recommend their chicken kebab plate and their falafel plate. The baba ghanoush is especially delicious with the falafel. The salads are super fresh and crispy, too, and love their pickled veg add ons - not just the typical after thought side salad; I actually eat it all. Their rice is so yummy and their chicken is juicy and not overcooked. They have dog and kid friendly outdoor seating (both covered and not covered). They also have a nice bathroom that's always clean. Staff is so friendly and kind and always remember me. They also do takeout! Give them a bit of time to prep your food; they make it to order and it's worth the wait for such a fresh taste. Highly, highly recommend this place. read more

3.5 stars Mesopotamia Kitchen in Noe Valley is a casual, cramped Turkish-style kebab restaurant with a menu of mezze, salads, wraps, and plates. The Appetizer Combo Plate came with a selection of mezzes including three crunchy falafels with tahini, watery hummus, chunky baba ghanoush, creamy tzatziki, and a unique carrot salad mixed with cream cheese. The dips went nicely with the warm grilled pita bread on the side, but the flavors were a bit lacking. A more memorable selection was the Shepherd's Salad, made of chopped cucumbers, tomato, onions, and parsley, along with juicy chunks of grilled chicken kebab. In general, the food here was just average, but the service was incredibly friendly, and this still made for a nice casual meal. read more

Ambiance is good, you can order for dine in or take out. For dine in, they bring it to your table. For take out, you can enjoy for lunch at the office. Friendly staff, delicious food, and good service. I ordered the Lamb Shish Kebab Plate It came with red cabbage and leafy greens, lamb, rice, and hummus. The pita bread, which came toasted complement the meal very well. For my drink, I ordered the Canada Dry Ginger Ale. A great refresher! Even as I enjoy this plate of Mediterranean cuisine, everything is beautifully plated. Perfect portion, so I like it. I like it, definitely will be back to try something else from the menu. read more

Mesopotamia Kitchen - The entrance rug - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Visited this restaurant today for the second time . The first time I did not leave a review but my experience is the same . I ordered something as before . here's my take: they have a nice ambiance with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the staff was super professional. I ordered the babaganoish and combo gyro plate, but the service was a bit off - they brought both dishes at the same time, which didn't work for me. By the time I finished my appetizer, the main course was already cold. The portions were super small, especially considering the price point. I was expecting more for my money, especially since I've had bigger portions at other places for the same price. The chicken was a bit dry and salty, which wasn't great. Also, the plate should've come with bread, and the babaganoush should've had its own bread - they only brought one bread portion. Despite all this, I'm willing to give it another shot and try something else, so I'll update my review after that. Maybe it's just me, but definitely won't be rushing back for the portions or the chicken again. read more

Mesopotamia Kitchen - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Fast casual mediterranean spot in Noe Valley! I had the lamb beef gyro wrap which came wrapped in lavash with some lettuce, tomato, and red onion inside. The wrap looks skinny but goes a long way! I was completely stuffed afterwards. I did wish there was a little more complexity in flavor - it was all pretty salty and I was looking for something acidic to cut the saltiness. I squeezed some of the lemon from the dolmas plate to make up for it. I also wish there was more veg in the wrap for extra freshness. The dolmas were a little pricey for an order of 4. They also had a slight alcoholic taste? The aftertaste and filling were both great, but the initial bite was slightly off. I probably wouldn't get these again. I'm curious to come back and try the vegetarian gyro wrap though! I also liked being able to order at the counter and have the food ready within ~10 mins. If I'm ever craving mediterranean food in Noe again, I would stop by here. read more

Mesopotamia Kitchen - Lamb Beef Gyro Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

For the longest time, I always had the impression that Noe Valley was one of the tougher neighborhoods in SF to find a parking space. So, when one of my friends moved out here, I always felt relieved when he would suggest meeting up elsewhere in the city. What little did I know, though - finding a spot around here is actually super easy (at night, anyways). Which, ironically enough, makes me regret not offering to come out here instead. If I had, then I would've discovered Mesopotamia Kitchen that much earlier! Admittedly, from the outside, there wasn't much about this place that grabbed my attention. However, after hearing about how it quickly became one of my buddy's go-to eateries, I was immediately intrigued. After taking a look at their extensive menu board inside, I could see why! Despite how the majority of the menu isn't especially unique, there's no shortage of enticing options to choose from - wraps, plates, mussaka, dolmas, shakshuka, spanakopita, salads, soups, desserts, and so much more. Plus, they have a good mix of proteins to choose from too, whether it be your usual sort of beef, lamb, and chicken gyros and kebabs to kofte kebab, adana kebab, or iskender kebab. -- COMBO GYRO WRAP - Lamb-Beef and Chicken Gyro with Garlic Sauce, Salad, and Tahini Sauce wrapped in Lavash Bread...$13.95 As good as this looked, the taste was just okay. The portion was great (fries are included!), but the gyros were a miss for me. Despite how moist both gyros meats were, the marinade they use had an aftertaste to it. Still, it wasn't awful, though, and I really like the fries and how fresh the veggies were. -- COMBO SHISH KEBAB - Chicken Kebab and Lamb Kebab with Rice, Salad, Hummus, and Pita...$18.95 I don't always have the best luck with kebabs, but this was terrific! While the chicken was perfectly fine (it had a light char), I thought the lamb was terrific - it was so tender! It was also a pleasant surprise to get a bit of hummus and pita bread (we debated on splitting an order). -- FALAFEL SIDE (3 Pieces) - Grounded and Deep Fried Garbanzo Beans with Zucchini, Celery, Parsley, and Onion...$4.95 You can also get this with five or seven pieces, but regardless, these were so good! Each piece was fried to the perfect crispiness and I liked how soft the inside was. Plus, the consistency wasn't chunky either. -- KOFTE WRAP - Grilled Ground Lamb and Beef Patties with Garlic Sauce, Salad, and Tahini Sauce wrapped in Lavash Bread...$13.95 This was far more successful than the combo gyro wrap - the kofte was so juicy and flavorful! What's more, the seasoning in the kofte was soaked up by the lavash and nicely balanced out by the veggies. Delish! -- SALMON PLATE - Flavored Grilled Salmon Served with Rice, Salad, Hummus, and Pita...$20.95 Even though the color/look of the salmon seemed really pale, this was pretty solid. It was grilled nicely and the center was moist, but I have to admit the deliciously complementary flavors form the lemon and herb sauce really boosted this dish. Also, while I obviously didn't expect service to be bad, I also didn't necessarily expect the workers to be so friendly either! In particular, the woman (owner?) that works the register is ridiculously nice. She warmly greets everyone that walks in and she's really attentive, always keeping an eye out for what folks might need (even the ones sitting outside in their parklet). Between that and how solid the food is, Mesopotamia Kitchen has worked its way into my rotation of go-to eateries as well! That is, so long as parking stays just as easy as it does now...ha! read more

You can't go wrong with Mesopotamia Kitchen! My go-tos are the lamb gyro plate, chicken gyro plate, and köfte plate--always fresh, flavorful, and made right in front of you. Their fries are crisp and fresh, desserts are delicious and well-priced, and the whole place is spotless. Service is quick, the food is consistently on point, and the staff are always kind, patient, and accommodating--even when it's busy. Highly recommend! read more

We are very lucky to have this place in Noe Valley -- very nice people and great food. We always get takeout but I've seen lots of folks eating there. I love the chicken kabobs -- flavorful and moist -- with rice and salad and a little hummus. The lentil soup is good too. And don't forget the taziki - an especially good version of it. A regular takeout dinner in our rotation. read more

I never leave reviews like this. Food was good but never coming back due to the service of the girl working the counter. I ordered 2 kids meals for my son and his friend along with a salad to share before a sports game. She tried to sell me a full plate when I asked for a kids plate (chicken and rice) on top of having an attitude, and overhear her calling me cheap to the other workers. Sorry to leave this review but that was unacceptable. read more

Deeeelish! I had the salmon and loved it. The prices are very fair especially for what you get!

Heartwarming meal! Always a go to spot. Everything is delicious. Staff is kind and friendly!

Good food and friendly service. True Turkish food flavors along with good service. Been here a few times and not been disappointed yet.

The food is tasty, and the service is always welcoming. A comforting spot for quick takeout.

Exelent service and Salih is nice and friendly. Food is tasteful and delicious. I would recommend this place in the Noe Valley in the heart of San Francisco. Enjoy read more

We had a variety of wraps, so babaganoush, and their greek salads. The wraps were satisfying and good sizes and came with fries. The babaganoush was good, if light on eggplant (more yogurt based). The big disappointment was the Greek salad, which was 95% romaine lettuce with maybe three olives and three pieces of cucumber and a few onions. I would pass on that next time and just stick to the meats and falafel. They have outdoor seating and the food was ready pretty quickly. Wraps are $12.95, so a decently priced and filling lunch. read more

Mesopotamia Kitchen - Falafel wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

I go to this place all the time. It's a bit more expensive (by a dollar or two) than some of the more "greasy spoon" places, but the quality and taste of the food here is top notch. It's informal, with only a few unadorned tables, but the food tastes like a more substantial and refined eating experience than the interior would suggest. I HIGHLY recommend the Falafel Plate, the Vegetable Skewers, the Chicken Skewers (my family likes those, i'm veggie), and the Falafel Wrap. The rice is great, the hummus is really good, the veggies are made to order and have a great grilled taste. The rest of the food looks great, and it does a brisk takeout business. This, and Truly Mediterranean are my favs locally for quick and healthy Mediterranean lunches, and they're different from one another- this one is the one that is less heavy to eat, but both are great. read more

I have to admit I liked the former name of this spot better (Sultan's Kebab) even though the current name is probably more culturally and historically correct. But my ignorance of the Middle East gravitates toward flying carpets, magic lamps you rub, Disney cartoons, and the Three Stooges ("Maha?" "Aha!"). Yes, politically wrong I know. But the food served here seems culinarily right. I wanted to keep it light - or at least 'lighter' - so I kept focusing on the Appetizers section of the overhead menu. I settled on the $6.95 Shakshuka and waited outside on their terrace hoping I'll be able to hear my order number. As luck would have it, the server was kind enough to come outside and serve my plate. My initial silent response was "Where's the poached egg?" It was missing the egg, so it was basically babaganoush in a tomato sauce with grilled pita wedges (photo: https://bit.ly/3EDrIvv). Good thing it was pretty tasty, and in hindsight, I probably didn't need the extra hundred calories that would've come with an egg. Maha? Aha!...(giggling). FOOD - 4 stars... no poached egg but still tasty AMBIANCE - 4 stars...I think the outdoor set-up was pretty spacious SERVICE - 4 stars...busy but cordial TOTAL - 4 stars...where's the sultan? Maha?

Review #2 after a couple of years, stopped in here on my way home and picked up their Lamb & Beef Gyro wrap. Really good! Great fries too. The guy at the counter was super friendly and my order was ready to go pretty quickly. Seemed pretty popular with all the delivery people stopping in picking up orders. I can understand why. Will definitely come back again. Great Gyro! Great service read more

I absolutely love this place! I almost always get a kebab plate because I love the combination of the grilled meat with rice, salad, and hummus with pita. It's a filling and healthy meal. My only complaint is the hummus used to be the best in town when they first opened, but I can tell they're thinning it out a little bit now so that it goes further. It's slightly watery compared to the thick hummus they had when they first opened. I still order from them all the time. The chicken kebabs are great (especially dipped in the spicy sauce) and the kofte kebab also delicious. I wish they would go back to the original hummus recipe! read more

My brother and I stopped in to try some wraps. We ordered the lamb and beef wrap, and the falafel wrap. The cashier was friendly and let us know our order would take about ten minutes to whip up. We took our orders to go, and they held up nicely on the walk back to my place. My brother enjoyed his beef lamb wrap and I also enjoy my falafel wrap. Bonus is it came with fries! I would have enjoyed the wrap even more if it had a bit more hummus or even tzatziki to make it less dry. I'm glad to have tried this spot out and will return to try their salmon wrap and other dishes out! read more

Mesopotamia Kitchen - Falafel Wrap and the rest of the fries are out of the frame :P - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

A very average at best place for Mediterranean. I was able to use my DoorDash gift card, the order was ready on time for my pick up window, and it was in a convenient location. Otherwise I wouldn't go out of my way to get a meal here. FYI - They didn't check for proof of vaccination (October 2021). THE COST $47.67 for a disappointing meal for two. Overpriced. I guess we're mostly paying for the Noe Valley real estate. THE FOOD Overall, their rice is soggy. The pita bread is soft and fluffy but tastes stale. Their meat and their falafel are consistently dry. They skimp like crazy on the hummus - it was barely enough to go with our plates. And the salad with the generic thousand island dressing was sad. Lamb Shish Kebab ($17.95) - 3 stars Combo Gyro Plate ($16.95) - 2 stars Falafel (3pc $3.95) - 1.5 stars - Not photographed. Incredibly dry! Pita bread (1pc $1.00) - 2 stars - Not photographed. Soft but stale. See my photos for additional details! read more

I was looking for a good place that serves kabab and I found it near by in Noe Valley. I must of walked by this place various times and I finally stopped and went inside. I order the Mediterranean mix kebab plate and it was delicious but wish they had added more rice and more hummus. The chicken kebab was juicy but the lamb kebab was my favorite. The lamb was tender and not gamey at all. I enjoyed the salad and pita. A good place to enjoy a good plate of kebabs. read more
