It was his first time dining in the restaurant, and I think my 3rd or 4th? Which brings me to my next thought, we need to come here more often. THIS is the exact type of food my body gets that happy, satiated feeling about. Familiar dishes, with very creative revisions. Small batch food made with love and effort. Beautiful presentation, but even better flavors and textures. So many vegan options. LOVE LOVE LOVE Savor.

The food and service impressed me enough to get curious and read about the restaurant afterward. I was surprised to learn that Greens has been at Fort Mason since 1979! About a dozen of us gathered for dinner. The four of us sitting at one end of the table decided to order different appetizers and main dishes and share them so we could try several dishes that caught our attention. And that turned out to be a great decision! The dining room is quite spacious. When we arrived, several large parties were already there, along with smaller groups of two to four people. After debating what to order, we asked our servers a bunch of questions. They patiently explained the dishes in detail and helped us make up our minds. We started with the Falafel Platter, Mesquite Grilled Zucchini, and Fried Cauliflower. For our main courses, we ordered Roman Gnocchi, Mesquite Grilled Tofu Brochettes, Black Mission Fig Pizza, and one other dish whose name I cannot recall. Everyone at our end of the table enjoyed the choices we made. The Fried Cauliflower stole the show among the appetizers! It was perfectly seasoned with garlic, herbs, and lemon, and the accompanying tartar sauce added even more flavor. The zucchini was cooked just right, neither overdone nor too soft. The Falafel Platter offered a wonderful variety of flavors on one plate. The pizza and grilled tofu were delicious, but the Gnocchi was my favorite of the main dishes. By the time we got to it, everyone was already full and could manage only a bite or two. I ended up taking most of it home and thoroughly enjoyed it for lunch the following day! Before our food arrived, one of our friends had warned me that I would become a fan of Greens. After trying their food, I think she was right! I had never expected to enjoy so many different vegetarian dishes in one sitting, and I'm already looking forward to returning.

For food we got the following: -Dahi Sev Puri - this was my favorite dish, really fun to eat and great flavors. -Chole Bhature - this was also great! The puffy bread was sooo delicious and the chickpeas were perfectly seasoned and delicious. -Bhel Puri - this dish was unique and was a good size portion, but not as flavorful as the other two dishes. It felt like eating a savory rice crispy cereal, but not in a bad way :P -Garlic Naan - pretty decent but nothing special -Jalebi - I was really excited to try this dessert. I looooved the texture (crunchy outside, with a gooey inside) but the actual flavor was not my favorite. To me, it tasted very similar to chlorinated water, and it was hard to get past that.. There was a different jalebi with a dipping sauce, and I wonder if that would have been better. They were out of it when we went, but I would try it again with that. Overall a really great restaurant, and definitely a place to try out if you're wanting a more unique Indian dining experience!

The ambiance was not great -- the interior is all hard surfaces, when we went in there happened to be several babies, and their screaming plus the music the restaurant played echoed so much that we kinda hustled to leave because our table of 3 couldn't maintain a conversation. Looking forward to returning at an off-time for a more peaceful experience! Or maybe they will install some soft/absorptive materials :)

A perfect appetizer to share with the warm pita, and each dip had its own delicious flavor. The calamari was another great starter--tasty and definitely worth ordering. For our mains, the braised beef short ribs were incredibly tender and comforting, served over creamy mashed potatoes with vegetables. We also loved the whole branzino--beautifully cooked, flavorful, and delicious with the greens and grilled lemon. Everything we tried was satisfying and full of flavor. I especially love that Lokma has that charming little neighborhood-restaurant feel where you can settle in, share a bunch of dishes, and enjoy a relaxed meal. Definitely a place I'd happily come back to!

Overall, I'd call it a 3.5-star experience, but I'm rounding up to 4 because a couple of dishes really stood out. The highlight of the night was definitely the Minced Bean Cake. It was silky, flavorful, and pure comfort food. Everyone at the table kept going back for it. The string beans with gluten puffs were also very good. Simple, tasty, and cooked just right. There was also a cold tofu skin dish that looked almost like sushi. I can't remember the name, but it was surprisingly delicious and ended up being one of my favorite bites of the meal. Unfortunately, the lemon chicken was a miss for me. The sauce didn't do much for the dish, and the texture just wasn't appealing. It was the one plate that nobody really went back for. If you are looking for a boogie vegetarian restaurant, you are in the wrong place. Nothing trendy or fancy here... reasonability price and simple food. The menu is huge, the portions are generous, and service was quick.

Walking in I wasn't sure what to expect because it looked pretty run down. I wasn't expecting fine-dining, but the place didn't have a welcome feel. We were the first table in when they opened, but unfortunately the service felt a bit cold from the start. Our server seemed disengaged, which set a less welcoming tone for the meal. The food was just okay for us. Our kids enjoyed their spring rolls and "chicken" nuggets, which were an easy win. However, the entrees we ordered were quite salty and didn't have much depth of flavor. Afterwards, we realized they don't use garlic or onion, which would have been helpful to know ahead of time since it really affects the flavor profile. If we had known that, we likely would have chosen a different spot. Overall, it wasn't quite what we were expecting given the menu and reviews. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't stand out for us in a city with so many great food options.

I find their bowls and salads fresh, healthy, and filling, which makes this one of my favorite lunch options during the workweek. The Mezze Salad is a particularly good choice when you're hungry. One time I added chicken, falafel, and avocado, and another time I kept it simpler with just chicken. Both combinations worked well, although adding all three definitely made for a substantial lunch! I also tried the Kale Caesar Salad, which has the makings of another favorite, but unfortunately the dressing was much too salty for my taste that day. I'll probably try it again sometime to see if that was just a one-time thing. The dining area is open, bright, clean, and comfortable. It works equally well for lunch with colleagues or friends, or for sitting by yourself with a meal while reading or working on a laptop. Service has been consistently good, with attentive staff who respond quickly when I need something. After three visits, Rad Radish remains one of my go-to lunch spots in Hayes Valley.

It was a Friday night and we didn't have trouble getting a table. The service was great and super fast. It felt like you were just at your friend's house growing up. The food itself was AMAZING, and without the SF price explosion too! We started with the Vegetable Tempura and the Spicy Eggplant rolls both which were very tasty and unique. We also ordered two bowls, both with the Udon noodles and they were phenomenal. Delicious but delicate broths, loaded with noodles, veggies and tofu.

Talk about a flavor explosion in my mouth!…read more We went with a la carte options for flexibility but we ordered so much next time I should just get the tasting menu. We ordered: - The mezcal/green mango/cumin cocktail: this one fell a little flat. The tajin rim completely overpowered the flavor of the cocktail, and when I sipped from the non rim side, I could only taste the mezcal and not the green mango or cumin - The dahi wada (5 pieces): crunchy lentil fritters smothered in chutney. Good but paled in comparison with the rest of the dishes - Ringan no oro: a deeply flavorful, smoky, garlic-y eggplant stew. You'll need rice or bread to soak up and balance the flavors - Kulchas (3 pieces): cheese stuffed patties served with a mole-dal sauce. I don't always love mole (the chocolate is too much for me) but this was the perfect fusion blend of the best flavors of both dishes to create a balanced flavor in the final product. Well complemented by the rich cheese - Chili paneer salad: this was my favorite of the night. So simple but so flavorful. Fresh crunchy endive and little gem leaves, spritzed with a green cardamom (?) vinaigrette, layered with zingy paneer sautee and crunchy cucumber. A flavor combo that lingered in my mind for long after The pacing of the dishes was a bit off - our first dishes came out so fast and then we waited forever for our final eggplant stew. But delicious all the same. Logistics: - Indoor seating only - Limited street parking nearby but walking distance from 22nd st Caltrain station and 3rd&23rd T MUNI station - Reservations strongly recommended - everything is vegetarian. They label whether a dish contains nuts or is GF but be warned over half the dishes contain nuts for those with allergies

Excellent overall. There were a couple of problems however:…read more - We really wanted to try the kulfi but it is only available on the prix fixe menu. This feels unreasonable as we ordered many items and our overall order cost around $200. A small taste of the kulfi would have been more hospitable and would make us more likely to return. - The rasmalai dessert was not good at all. It just tasted like heavy cream. There was no cardamom flavor, nothing. The rasmalai itself was spongey. Despite these issues that are not insignificant, the overall experience at Besharam was very strong. The service was excellent, our server was very kind, helpful and present without being too present. She did a great job. The appetizers really stood out as outstanding. We ordered the pani puri, sabudana vada, and two chutneys. The flavor and spice in all of these items was outstanding. I would go back and have both items again. For entrees, ordered the vindaloo kofta and pav bhaji.The entrees were creative but not as amazing as the appetizers, they didn't have the depth of flavor that the appetizers did. The space is truly beautiful, especially lovely to be so close to the Minnesota Street Project.

Bought my tix online and waited for the day to arrive. I included the offspring and +1 for the event. Got there early and found parking basically in front, a miracle in SF. Doors opened at 5:02 and we were greeted by the chef and staff all dressed in green like the Jolly Giant of commercial fame. The tables were decorated with flowers sprouting from funny shaped radish and turnip "pots". Did I mention that the dinners have been called whimsical......... So it begins. We got two juice pairings and two alcohol pairings and both were really interesting. The local Chardonnay on lees and the martini were winners in the alcohol category whereas celery ginger kombucha and citrus drink were rulers of the nonalcoholic category. Some refills were provided, yeah! First course - Miso celeriac soup with foraged herbs, walnut dill bread with kumquat jelly and chive butter. Rich and tasty soup with great bread though two smaller pieces would have been better than one large to enjoy the spreads. Second course - Lacto-fermented beets, roasted carrot, little jellies with spicy carrot salad and hummus. Everything was unique with interesting flavors and consistencies. Loved the little jellies made with agar and the carrot salad, Wow! Third course - Mushroom and beet pub pie over purple cauliflower béchamel. Amazingly flaky vegan puff pastry, don't know how they did that without butter. Filling was earthy and savory complemented well by the béchamel. Dessert - a selection of citrus based seasonal treats including chocolate, little cake balls, candied kumquats and aquafaba. Not just great for being vegan but actually a triumph. First time trying aquafaba and it really tasted like a light, neutral whipped cream. Big fan of the candied kumquats too. They even stuck a candle in the birthday girl's bowl and led the obligatory serenade. Overall a fun experience that reflects Alex Lauritzen's passion for vegetable based cuisine, taking it fully to the fine dining level but doing it with joy and whimsy. Staff and service were attentive. This was the eighth mushroom with dinners occurring once a month. They may also do pop up a La carte service but I'm not sure. Check the Insta @the mushroomsf for deets. We left pleasantly full so no post-Michelin pizza
