    The first look at this place wow the most amazing place amazing food. The salmon plate was so good. The man that gave us the food so nice. The menu was nice. The desserts look so good. and that's why I gave this place five stars . Noe Valley, San Francisco

    (Hidden) Falafel Wrap. Good stuff!
    Aaron Z.

    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.

    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.

    Lamb Shish Kebab
    Bennett W.

    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.

    Lamb Beef Gyro Wrap
    Amy G.

    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.

    Combo Gyro Wrap - Lamb-Beef and Chicken Gyro with Garlic Sauce, Salad, and Tahini Sauce wrapped in Lavash Bread
    Mike L.

    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!

    Chicken Gyro Plate
    Yagmur E.

    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!

    The taziki - very good
    Pamela G.

    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.

    Chicken wrap & chicken and beef shish kebab plate !
    Luisa Y.

    Delicious Mediterranean Feast! This place is one of my favorite! The food was absolutely incredible - flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. I had the a plate and it was amazing big enough to share. Service was friendly and attentive, though it did take a little longer than expected due to a high volume of online orders. Hope this help !

Our friends ordered the Turkish breakfast, menemen, turlu omelet, and the sunrise combo, and everything looked so yum. We also ordered a few Turkish teas.

The service here is night and day compared to Burma superstar. The service here is exponentially better, the staff is super friendly, incredibly attentive, and they make everyone feel very welcomed. The food on the other hand just is not great. Yes this place is always packed apparently, and it may be out of convenience. I found that everything that we ordered with the exception of the coconut rice fell flat. This is one of those moments that hurt your heart because I want to give them huge accolades, but it's just not there. We ordered the platha. It was tasty, but it also did not taste super fresh. The dipping sauce that it comes with (opted for chicken) and kept digging around the small bowl to find pieces of chicken that were nonexistent. The up charge of a dollar for the chicken dipping sauce that did not have chicken in it super disappointing. The sauce was tasty, but definitely not worth the up charge. Our server encouraged us to get the tea salad, which is definitely something. Someone should try if you've never had it before. The mixture of fresh veggies, the light sauce and the herbs, make for a very fresh bite. I would've been thrilled if late shredded chicken could be added to this for a different style dish. It would be super tasty. The salad was good, but not my style, but everyone else enjoyed it. We ordered the beef curry and the coconut rice. I absolutely want to emphasize how incredible the staff is. Their service and attentiveness absolutely should be acknowledged over and over again. The coconut rice at this location is exponentially better than at the other restaurant that we tried. This was a combination of light, fluffy, and absolutely flavorful delicious rice. The beef curry was incredibly disappointing. The beef was well done not done well. It was tough, overly chewy, and the flavor profile was just not good. It was missing something and even the light curry broth that the meat was sitting in well, good wasn't fantastic. The drinks seem pricier here, and the mango lassie, while good, was just OK. It tasted more like watered down mango. For dessert, we tried the black rice. This is definitely worth trying. It's a heavier dessert and probably a bit much after what felt like an uncomfortable dinner. The coconut sauce that it's sitting in is delicious and I can see why so many people enjoy it, and maybe if the strawberries were tastier the combination of all of the flavors may have made a difference. I definitely think it's something worth trying, but maybe elsewhere, or with different items for dinner.

It's only the sauce that gives the chicken flavor. 3.5/5 The wings aren't at all crispy. And flavor was ok and could have been better. But what was off-putting was the smell of the wings after we boxed it up and took it home! It had this gamey chicken smell as if it was old chicken.
