Steak was perfectly tender and flavorful altho a lot more expensive. We will come back with family and try the brunch too. Beautiful location in the Presidio.

I was a fan of my Halal Saffron Chicken Kebab, which was tender and paired deliciously with the yogurt sauce. I also had a bite of the Grilled Chicken Shawarma sandwich, which had a thin bread that was very easy to bite through, and the meat was so fragrant. And I really liked the hummus that was served along with the pita-- it tasted so fresh and had a strong garbanzo bean flavor. I will definitely stop by again!

The food is exceptional from their small plates, salads, and main courses. The ambiance is also 10/10, inside is gorgeous! Perhaps the crowning achievement of this restaurant is their impeccable wine list our favorite is the Piaggia Carmignano, a Sangiovese blend. One of my favorite details in the restaurant are the gorgeous flower arrangements!

We had a variety of appetizers, salads, entrees and dessert. I have included photos and descriptions. Each item was perfectly prepared, presented, and bursting with flavor. I strongly suggest that you give this a try. You won't be disappointed.

Came to Haight Street to visit Abu Salim Middle Eastern Grill. Rated well and their plate portions…read morelooked amazing. My conclusion... they deserve the praise. We eat a bit early around 4-5pm so there was plenty of seating in the large spacious restaurant. Staff was polite and sat us right away. They served water and a complimentary plate of olives and pickled radishes. Uniquely decorated the vibe was really pleasant. Large windows along the street made it bright and open. We ordered. Beef Kofta plate, Beef and Lamb Shawarma plate, Falafel and pita bread. Free but just ok the olives and radish was underwhelming but I still ate them HA! The pita bread was fair but we still ate them with the dips served along side. The winner overall were the Falafels which came to the table last but I'm telling you they were hot and super delicious not to mention they are very good size which was unexpected. The Beef and Lamb shawarma was very tasty but a tad dry. Luckily it comes with you choice of side dishes which we got baba ganoush when paired with the meat and pita oh so good!! The Beef Kofta was da bomb. Moist seasoned ground beef kabobs grilled to perfection. You can taste the flavor imparted by the grill. Meat was juicy and delicious. $70 plus tip for all this food was a good deal. Note they charge 3% for credit card which these days is becoming more common.

Very disappointing experience overall. To start, our table still wasn't ready even 15 minutes after…read moreour reservation time. I understand restaurants can get busy, and being out of a few menu items happens, but the way things were handled was frustrating. We ordered our food, received appetizers, and then nearly 20 minutes later our server casually came over to tell us they were out of the chicken entrée we had ordered. There was no apology, no empathy, and honestly no sense that she understood how inconvenient that was. By that point it was already late, and at almost 10 PM in San Francisco there weren't many other dining options open nearby, which completely ruined our night. What made it worse was that we were still charged despite the poor experience and lack of proper service recovery. I ended up not tipping because the service felt disorganized and lacking basic professionalism and empathy. To be fair, the owner did come out afterward to apologize while I was waiting for my Uber, and I appreciated that gesture. But overall, this was a terrible experience that could have been handled much better operationally and from a customer service standpoint.

Stopped by for lunch with friends after our Double Black run. Really enjoyed our meal here…read more Everything we ordered was delicious and full of flavor, and you can tell there is a lot of care that goes into the food. We tried a few different dishes and enjoyed everything we ordered. The flavors were well balanced and the portions were generous enough to share, which made it easy to try a little bit of everything. The service was also warm and attentive, and the overall atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed. It's the kind of place that feels casual enough for a quick meal but still special enough to sit down and really enjoy dinner. They have a lot of outdoor seating as well (with heat lamps for the colder SF nights). Parking in the area can be challenging, would suggest to come for lunch instead of dinner.

They have a menu behind the counter that lists out all of the GF modifications (which is so helpful) just ask for it. You can also join the waitlist on yelp, which is a big time saver and so convenient. Why 3 stars then? I feel like they have become a victim of their own success. This place is tiny and it is PACKED. We were quoted a 70 minute wait time on a Sunday night. When our name finally came up we were offered a tiny table inside (outside table sidewalks are where you want to be, more room, good people watching) that could have fit two fine but was going to be a squeeze for 3 adults. We opted to wait for a bigger table/outside spot. Once you get a table then you have to go inside and wait in line to order. The space is small so expect to get bumped from every direction. The person behind the register was obviously stressed out and could not have been less friendly or less helpful. I asked for a glass of cabernet and she just said, we don't have it and stared at me. I asked if she could suggest another option and she did but it was a struggle. All of the workers seemed miserable. No one smiled, everyone seemed overworked and it was so hard to flag someone down if say your steak came out entirely raw, which mine did. It seems like the workers are either not getting the training or the support that they need to allow the overall experience to be good as the food.

They were great at offering recommendations when I asked, and even filled up my water bottle while I waited, which I thought was very kind of them. My food was ready exactly within the estimated window, which is always appreciated. I ordered the Adana Kebab because I'm a big fan of lamb, especially in the Adana style, and I have to say their version is fantastic. The lamb is seasoned so flavorfully and pairs beautifully with the accompanying orzo rice pilaf, the fresh and acidic salad, medley of raw vegetables, and the warm pieces of lavash. They also included their house sauce and a house-made hot sauce, which added a nice bit of punchiness to he meal overall. I enjoyed my takeout meal very much so look forward to going back to try more of the menu fresh out of the kitchen as the ambience was very much a cozy and intimate one.

We were warmly greeted by Nabil, the owner and operator, who instantly made us feel right at home. The restaurant itself features comfortable seating and a bright, welcoming atmosphere.

For our main course, we enjoyed a burrata salad and a mixed shawarma plate. The kofta was easily the best I've ever had. While I'm not usually a big fan of salads, my wife loved the texture and flavor of the vinaigrette on hers. Zitouna is officially my favorite Mediterranean spot in the city, and we will definitely be back!
