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!

Summary: Med flavor bombs!…read more Details: Overdue review from half a year ago, but grabbed lunch at Kapari with a friend and remember the food being tasty: super flavorful dishes, large portions, and pretty reasonable value, especially for the FiDi. I found the iskender and karniyarik we ordered to both be a little on the salty side, but this is probably well within normal for most folks, and I imagine it's something you can ask the kitchen to adjust as well. Well worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for a bite. Accessibility: Decently sized venue with tables that offer a mix of accessible pull out chairs and less accessible wall seating.

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.

The service in the cafe was nice but it's a smaller cafe with a few workers so it took a little bit to bring the food out but I didn't mind. I only mention this if people are in a rush.

We got the ultimate breakfast sandwich and OMG it was sooooo good!!! At first, I was scared the english muffin was going to be dry, but no my dear. 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!
