I had a late lunch here at Boochmania. It's a cute little place. It's pretty tiny - so they…read moreprobably had like 3-4 tables for seating. I ordered at the counter and the food was brought to my table. I think there was something going on in terms of confusion. First when I ordered a lentil burger, it was entered as a chicken sandwich - fortunately I caught that on the screen and had that corrected. Then... when my food came out, it was a lentil wrap and not a burger. So... she took that back graciously. However, I think they tried to take that lentil patty and form it into a burger patty. That's what it seemed like, because it all fell apart as soon as I bit into it. It probably needed also to be cooked a bit more to stay in form. So it was like mushy, instead of a formed patty. Anyway, I do appreciate when a place makes an effort to do a custom-made veggie burger, rather than just offer the impossible/beyond thing. So maybe next time I try something else or have better luck with the burger. Good location and effort. Thanks!

Kapari opened only 7 months ago…read morein the FiDi, and deserves to be packed, for real -- not just with business people Monday-Friday but absolutely worth a drive in or Muni ride in on the weekends too. I hope they enjoy a lot of success as they are well-deserving! Looking at their pleasant, soothing interior, with soft green accents, subdued lighting illuminating traditional Turkish pots and serving pieces, lovely upholstered chairs*, it's easy to enjoy a solo or couple's lunch here or I imagine they could also serve a larger group by pushing tables together too. My husband is thinking a former coworker who is Turkish would love them too, for a dinner soon. Reservations were easy to make on Yelp. * On Chair Comfort: I am so thankful to a restaurant which does not stock their dining room with those stackable metal chairs I see way too often in SF and go out of my plus-size way to avoid, ha! Sure one may be able to hose them down on the sidewalk and they'd probably survive a nuclear blast, but dear God, no. They also serve beer & wine, though we did not partake today. I had the FALAFEL WRAP (V): Falafels wrapped in lavash with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, hummus and tahini sauce -- $14.90, which was incredibly fresh and delicious. I thought maybe I was a bit weird to get so into falafel, but if you try it, I bet you will say the same, ha! I should have taken photos but we were too busy diving in today... So, so good. I also tried two cold drinks that I was unfamiliar with: AYRAN and SALGAM, each $4. I really enjoyed both! Per Google: "Ayran is a cold, savory yogurt-based beverage made from yogurt, water, and salt. Extremely popular in Turkey, Central Asia, and the Middle East, it has a light, frothy texture and a refreshing, tangy, and salty taste." and "Şalgam is a traditional dark purple, salty, and tangy fermented Turkish beverage. Originating from southern cities like Adana and Mersin, it is made by fermenting purple carrots, turnips (çelem), water, salt, and cracked bulgur wheat." The very nice server described it as, "It tastes like pickles," which was right on the money. My husband went for the hearty MANTI: Handmade beef dumplings with garlic yogurt, melted butter and seasoned oil -- $21.50. He usually avoids red meat but he dove in with gusto and really savored it. With it, he had traditional TURKISH TEA (hot) -- $2.50. For dessert, we split the PISTACHIO BAKLAVA -- $6.00, which comes with two pieces about an inch square. Delicious, flaky and a very sweet end to our lunch. PARKING: On a Saturday around 1:30 PM, we found a spot immediately in front. One definite benefit to visiting the FiDi on a weekend! PARTING WORDS: Go, you will not regret it!

After shopping at the Tuesday Ferry farmers' market and dropping off some fruits to a friend, I…read moredrove up Sacramento Street to my next errand and notice this restaurant. I actually intended to have lunch at the Chinese restaurant next door but it's been a while since I've tried something new. Walking in a little after 12:30 pm, there were five five or six occupied tables. Not knowing the seating arrangement, I waiting for a young gal to guide me, offering a table along the right wall near the cashier station. She kindly pulled my table apart from two others making it a two-top. After bringing me a bound menu, I studied it and strategized after stealing a peek at Cherlynn N.'s (https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=eKUGKQRE-Ywi5dY55_zChg) review. Wanting to try at least two menu items, I started with the lentil soup (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=KveXVX3JawnTl0GoqS-9pQ), made with hearty red lentils simmered with savory spices; it came with four pieces of bread and a small lemon wedge. I liked that the soup was not salty like most restaurant soups which need the bread to offset that flavor. I'm not sure what the reddish portion atop the soup was as it was not spicy. For my main meal, I tried the mix grill plate (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=6y3W50ZFYRfA-r2WjYU9sg), grilled kofte, chicken skewers, and beef skewers served with rice, salad, and grilled pepper and tomato; the only minor issue is that the beef leaned towards medium well (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=JiQXx-6VuVf8rS9_mGGjjQ). The stars for each aspect of the plate were the flavors and seasoning. The dressing for the salad was tart and appetizing while the meats were seasoned well with spices and the char from the grilling stood out. This char was on the pepper and tomato too. Most of the dining room emptied by a little after 1 pm, likely because many were on their lunch breaks from work. A few people came in and ordered at the counter, food to take back to their offices I believe. The gal who seated me also took my order, brought my takeout box, and helped me close my bill. I look forward to returning for a weekday lunch when I'm tired of other options in the neighborhood.

It's totally hiding in plan sight right next to the Montgomery Muni and Bart station, which is super convenient. I decided to get a yogurt parfait and vegan cornetto for a light late lunch. The yogurt parfait was so creamy, tangy, and lightly sweetened. I thoroughly enjoyed the soft yogurt and chewy granola and blackberries. The vegan cornetto was a first for me. It was fluffy and mildly sweet with a nice chew and not greasy at all, unlike a croissant. I consider this café a fantastic find, and what stood out to me apart from the food is the calm ambience. Unlike other cafes, the music here is at a moderate noise level, so it adds to the space rather than being a distraction. This is an ideal spot to stop by and relax or lock in for a while.

That was the best english muffin anything I've ever had. It had fresh eggs which were nicely seasoned, turkey, avocado, swiss cheese, spinach, and a red onion sauce which was insane.

I was very pleased that our food came out only within minutes of ordering as well. I got to try the vermicelli noodles this time with chicken as my protein. Let me just say first that the portions are pretty big and worth it for the price! The food comes in a rectangular container and is fillled with the greens, sliced carrot and daikon, fresh bites of basil, spicy jalapeño slices and crushed peanuts that really brought it together. It's a well constructed dish where the fish sauce is served in a container that you pour and are able to easily mix in. The noodles seated at the bottom seamlessly soak up all the flavors as well. I really enjoyed each bite and kept coming back for more! I'm so glad my coworker recommended coming here!
