We actually attended a surprise birthday party at this venue on Saturday. It was nice and chill…read moreand we were able to reserve enough space to accommodate 19 of us (huge table and another 6 person table). The staff was honestly pretty good--they were able to balance two to go orders, two dine in orders, and our huge party all at the same time. And (knock on wood) did it perfectly. We were all seated inside, but the venue has an outdoor area too. There is a bathroom inside, but it is a unisex bathroom and only one occupant at a time. We got some babaganoosh, pita bread, hummus, falafel, Gyro plates, octopus plates, salmon wraps, fries, and basically a little bit of everything. The taste was very flavorful and cooked well. The portions were huge and plenty of us had to get to go boxes for our meals. My husband and I shared a Turkish coffee and it was quite nice. I've never tried this type of coffee before, but I can safely say that I'm hooked. Unfortunately nobody had room for dessert, although it looked delicious. Next time. There was quite a bit of parking in the plaza and it was easy to get in and out of our spots. I would definitely return to this spot just to try out more of their dishes.

It was packed at 5:00 p.m., which seemed like a great sign, and it has the feel of a solid casual Mediterranean restaurant. We ordered the beef kebab dinner and the falafel dinner. We requested the beef be cooked medium rare, but when we got home, it was closer to well done. Unfortunately, the beef was quite tough and difficult to eat. We were hungry after our hike, so we ate it anyway, but it was disappointing. The falafel dinner was a little better, though nothing particularly memorable. I was surprised given the high ratings, but after reading more reviews afterward, I noticed others had also mentioned that the meat can be overcooked. Since we usually order takeout, I probably wouldn't return because it's too much of a gamble if the meat isn't cooked as requested. It's unfortunate, as the restaurant was busy and seemed well-liked, but this visit didn't live up to our expectations.

The hummus was creamy, the chicken shawarma was flavorful, and the bread was so good I briefly considered putting it in my pocket for later. The Adana kebab had enough spice to remind me that I still have functioning taste buds, while the lahmacun was essentially Turkish pizza, but which raises the obvious question: Why haven't we been doing this all along? So far, so good. My stomach was optimistic. Then things became a little less heroic. Some dishes seemed to have been prepared by completely different kitchens that weren't on speaking terms. The mixed grill arrived looking like it was preparing to support me through the apocalypse. There was so much food that I started making strategic decisions about which items I would eat now and which ones I would leave behind for my imaginary second stomach. A few dishes were excellent; others were more "perfectly acceptable, but let's not get carried away." The atmosphere is pleasant, the menu has plenty of choices, and there are enough good dishes to make me want to return. But three stars feels right: not bad enough to complain, not good enough to write poetry about. I'd happily come back for the shawarma, hummus, bread, and kunafa--but next time I'm bringing stretchy pants, a financial advisor, and someone to carry me to the car. Service was okay.

The best Mediterranean food in Bay Area. I love the chicken souvlaki plate and the Adana plate.read more

Great ambiance amazing staff friendly open kitchen.... Tells you everything!!!…read moreSo fresh and after starting to order my regular Greek favs - I stopped my order because they actually had moussaka vegetarian made which nobody ever makes. It was absolutely spectacular. It came with Pita's fresh salad and oh my God it was so good. I ordered a bunch of things to go to take home with me because I live a far distance from this place. I found it on Apple Maps but why I was driving asking for the closest Greek place and wow am I glad Apple Maps brought me here. I will definitely be back. And what's really amazing is I just found out I lost a friend and I was sitting at the table a little teary-eyed and a lovely server brought over some tea for me while I was waiting for to go order. And guess what they were open July 4. The food is absolutely spectacular. I'm looking at all the plates of meats and everything smell so fresh I wanna order the french fries just cause they look so delicious but I'm full. I couldn't even eat my whole plate cause I was full. And even tasted gr8 the next day

This is such a gem in South City -- it's the perfect meet up spot for lunch, happy hour, or dinner…read more Recently had lunch here and the food, service, and ambiance were all lit. Let's start with the service. Our server was incredibly attentive from the moment we walked in. We were handed menus and then asked if we preferred still or sparkling waters - we opted for the latter. Next, he politely made some recommendations to the more popular items on the lunch menu. We went with his suggestions and he did not disappoint! For two people, we shared the following two items: * MEZZE PLATTER - hummus, babaghanouge, falafel, tabbouleh, and pita ($19) * BEET SALAD - roasted heirloom beets, carrots, goat cheese, honey thyme vinaigrette ($18) For our entrees, we had the following: * BEEF SHAWARMA WRAP - lettuce, sumac onion, pickles, tahini sauce, mixed greens ($19) * ROASTED SALMON - pacific salmon, turmeric rice, grilled broccolini ($29) Food was absolutely incredible. Fresh ingredients, simple preparation, Mediterranean fusion, and assembled thoughtfully without compromising nutrition. I am a fan. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with an inviting style for large groups, intimate fireside chats, or bar seating. They even have a pretty neat happy hour menu that I hope to check out one day. All in all, this is a top fav in South City. Looking forward to a future dining experience here!

Tucked…read moreaway on a quiet side street alongside what appeared to be mostly convenience stores, the restaurant felt like a hidden gem. The dining room is spacious and sleek, and there were only a few other diners on a weekday afternoon. We were dining as a large party, but multiple serves ensured we were well taken care of throughout the meal. We started off with a few mezze platters to share. Even with three mezze platters for our party of about 10, everyone was pretty much limited to one falafel, one small wedge of thin pita, and a small spoonful of dip. Apart from the small serving size, the hummus and babaganoush were on point. I ordered the roasted salmon for my entree, which our servers kindly packed up for me since I had to leave our lunch early. Even when I enjoyed my salmon about an hour later, it was still flaky and tender. The broccoli rabe was a bit of a challenge to eat with a plastic fork and knife because the stalk was so tough to cut through, but I appreciated the generous portion of greens on the side. The saffron rice was fluffy and seasoned just enough to be flavorful on its own. Overall, the food and service were solid, and I'd consider returning for an offsite lunch.

This is one of those hidden gems that makes the San Francisco experience so much fun. The food is absolutely delicious. I ordered the chicken Shawarma burrito, and the garlic fries. The chicken Shawarma was juicy, and very tasty. The burrito has a hole was not necessarily my favorite because it needed a little something, but overall it was absolutely tasty. The portion is very generous, and definitely I could make this shareable. The fries... I'm always on the Outlook for the best fries around, and these garlic fries were absolutely delicious. Perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside light on the inside, and just the garlic flavor was amazing. I love the fact that they just didn't dump some jarred garlic on top of some french fries and call it done. Nope these are the real deal. The staff is friendly and I'm glad that I took the recommendations. The store itself is filled with everything you could possibly want. I had originally stopped in to grab a drink, but they literally have things from chips, candy, to grocery items. I love this experience.
