A Perfect Celebration at Greens…read more We celebrated Mother's Day and a birthday at Greens Restaurant, and it was nothing short of magical. The Marina weather was flawless, the Fort Mason views were stunning, and--miraculously--parking was plentiful. A perfect start. We arrived early and were warmly welcomed by a gracious front desk who seated us with ease, even gifting us beautiful roses at the table. The service was outstanding--attentive without being intrusive (our water glasses never dipped below two‑thirds full). The food exceeded expectations. Highlights included incredibly fresh spring rolls, a crave‑worthy falafel platter, and the Asparagus Pizza, which was crisp, bright, and refreshingly different with lemon ricotta and herbs. Dessert sealed the experience--the Chocolate Hazelnut Passion Fruit Torte was indulgent, balanced, and unforgettable. Why we loved Greens: * Outstanding views * Plentiful parking * Attentive, thoughtful service * Fresh, seasonal, local ingredients Greens delivered thoughtful hospitality, inspired vegetarian cuisine, and a serene setting--an ideal place for a special celebration. We can't wait to return.

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!

Overall, we enjoyed the food, although I felt it was a little expensive for the portion sizes. We made a fairly simple request to have one ingredient served on the side, but it was missed and never acknowledged. At one point, I asked for an extra napkin, and it was carelessly dropped onto one of our dirty plates. We were also asked to clear the table almost immediately after paying to make room for upcoming parties (as is their right, but they could have easily notified us of this earlier so we could plan accordingly - and the service hadn't felt particularly considerate or attentive up to that point). I understand they may have been understaffed, but the way the service was handled felt very avoidable. I wouldn't recommend unless trying authentic dishes is your top priority.

Decent service, but the food and menu variety were a bit disappointing…read more The staff were super friendly and the service was good, but the overall variety and execution fell short. We ordered the Menemen and asked to add sujuk. The flavors were okay, but the bread that came with the plate was completely soggy, which really ruined the meal. I actually had to order a Simit on the side just so I could enjoy my breakfast with decent bread. We initially looked at the full Turkish breakfast, but at $42, it definitely didn't feel worth the price. The portion and variety of items are pretty limited for that price point, and it just doesn't give you that rich, endless spread you expect from an authentic Turkish breakfast experience. On a positive note, the baklava and tea were absolutely amazing! Overall, it was just okay. As someone who has been to many Turkish restaurants, I know how incredible and diverse the cuisine can be. They really need to step up the variety and value.

My favorites are deep fried crispy taro rolls and any noodle dish with soft tofu and veggies. The gluten puffs are always a great snack as are the sushi rolls. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Although the restaurant is small and old, it is clean and comfy. Lucky Creation is less than block away from the Chinatown subway station. I wish I lived closer or they closed later so I could come more often.

Lucky Creation hosted in the heart of SF Chinatown is a long time favorite of locals and visitors for their vegetarian and meat alternative dishes. There's not much parking in this part of town so be prepared to try to squeeze into street parking or park further away and walk. Otherwise, public transportation is always an option! For us, we typically just drop one of us off and circle the block while they grab the goodies. Their selection of wheat gluten dishes have flavor and texture profiles reflecting popular meat dishes like sweet and sour, curry, and BBQ pork. Each bite has a chewy and spongy texture which seems to soak up the sauces packing bursts of flavors. Eaten cold is our favorite method but I'd imagine heating it up is also just as good. Every time we come, sweet and sour and the BBQ pork are the flavors we go home with. Most patrons buy takeout but they also have a few small tables for dine in. The place is relatively clean and open, illuminated by the bright fluorescent bulbs in the ceiling and accented by the giant mirror along the wall. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. If it's your first time, consider perusing but also just ask directly. They may have some recommendations for your craving. Overall, Lucky Creation packs classic Chinese flavors into vegetarian dishes for those with dietary restrictions or those looking to minimize meat in their meals. The quality of dishes are just as good as I remember from when I was a kid although the prices like for all things have gone up. If you're lucky enough to have plans to go into the city, consider making your way to Lucky Creation and grab a variety box to open your eyes to a meat-less diet!

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.

Third review. 1. The…read morevegan pasta is comforting, rich with just a touch of heat. I absolutely love it. 2. The eggs...mushy and very sweet squash in eggs next to boiled potatoes? Ketchup with a dash of curry? Salad dressing so light you can't even tell it's present? I love eggs and this could have been one of the favorites. It was not a satisfying meal at all. 3. Chimichurri Burger- the combination of grilled onions, peppers, crunchy potato sticks is a truly amazing and creative combo. The bun? Several days old, dry - it tasted dry, dense and stale. Instead of absorbing the sauces and bringing everything together it did the very opposite. I was going to try their French toast and decided to make it at home instead - fresh challah or brioche with vanilla bean, cinnamon, pinch of salt and splash of heavy cream mixed in with eggs + maple syrup and fresh berries. It will take more effort than just ordering it at a restaurant but I'm not taking anymore risks.

Shyrissa shared that's it's their 5-year work-iversary! Kudos to her wonderful communication and kindness. Food: The mango salad sounds too simple but I think it's one of my favorite dishes. So light and refreshing. The sesame dressing is bright, with crunchy bits sprinkled on top....its a balanced start. Pakora's were crunchy and I loved the sauce it was served with. I kept the rest to eat with my meal. It felt naughty to eat my vegetables this way. The smokey eggplant is always a silky dream. Who knew eggplant could be so good...Chef Heena knew. arancini korma...my mind is blown. Shyrissa said it was their favorite and it's now mine! Gooey oozy cheese filled arancini, still crunchy but sitting in a perfect sauce. This is what dreams are made of. I had a side of the perfectly cooked rice and hot chai. This was a great meal on a cold summer afternoon. Besharam continues to serve incredible food with creativity, fun, and heart.

For Appetisers we started with the Mango Salad, the Kulcha with Mole sauce, Pani Puri. All of them were really good but the Kulcha blew my mind, it genuinely tasted like heaven with the Mole sauce. What a unique fusion dish and one of the best things I have had recently. The Pani Puri was a close second favourite. For mains we got the Pav Bhaji and Malai Kofta. My favourite was the Bhav bhaji, it was so unique and every bite was filled with flavour. I had the Mango Margarita and it was really yum and strong. For the desert we got the Shrikhand cheesecake and omg it was out of the world. The crust was filled with Parle G biscuit and it was so good. We also met chef Heena and thanked her for a wonderful meal. Definitely 10/10 will be coming back for sure.
