Delicious and comforting food! The Pali Cali rolled up w labneh is my go-to favorite...and it's always worth ordering extra bread to take home and enjoy between visits. read more

Came at 2:45 on a Saturday - ordered at the front & immediately sat myself down at one of the window booths. Cozy, cute interior. Only downside is that it's a bit hot in there so dress in layers haha Food came out at a good pace, ordered a few dishes to try and everything was great! Mezze sampler had a lovely little selection of all their dips, super fluffy pita and the falafel salad was excellent!! Also tried the Knafeh as dessert and it's nothing like anything i have ever tasted. Salty and sweet and it was so good! Definitely recommend trying this spot & staff very friendly! read more

Reem's was delicious! There is street parking around the restaurant. I came with friends and we ordered several dishes. Everything was perfect to share! Every order is placed at the counter. These are the items we ordered. -Pali Cali 4/5: delicious flatbread full of flavor. The chicken was very seasoned and perfect. -Habibi's Harvest 5/5: This was a delicious flatbread! Every ingredient complements the others very well, making the perfect bite. This is a must-have. -Falafel Salad 5/5: This was another favorite! The falafel was very flavorful, and the lemon tahini made the salad dry, refreshing, and well-balanced. -Baba Ghanouj 4/5: I personally enjoyed this dip a lot, but it wasn't my friend's favorite. If you like eggplant I think you would enjoy this one. -Hummus 5/5: delicious, creamy, and flavorful. They of course did a wonderful job with this dish. -Chocolate Chip Halawa Cookie 4/5: It is different, it has sesame seeds, and the flavor is good. I wish the cookie was a bit softer though; it was more of a thin, hard cookie. Overall Reem's was delicious! I feel like this is a fun place to go with a larger group so you can order several dishes. I can't wait to come back! read more

Gorgeous presentation of the mezze plate, accompanied by a basket of steaming pita! Hummus, baba ganoush, muhammara, and labneh, with picked beets and cauliflower, plus a generous portion of olives. Hummus is smooth and creamy, baba ganoush is smokey, muhammara is sweet and chunky, and labneh is light. Minus one star for the pita. I feel like pita is the foundation of a Mediterranean restaurant. This pita tastes like store-bought wheat pita. Compared with the thick, fluffy pita at Suraya in Philly, it falls very short. Maybe this is someone's mom's recipe. Maybe others like it. Not my taste. A shame because everything else is so good and will deter me from returning. read more

Clean and cute location, you order at the cash register before grabbing a seat. I was blown away by the falafel wraps (5/5 stars) and the Pali Cali flat bread (5/5 stars). My partner liked the M.L.M. (3.5-4/5 stars) but I was less of a fan because I personally didn't like the flavor or the wetness of the red peppers. Their chocolate chip cookie with sesame seeds (5/5 stars) was #1 out of 23 different SF cookies in a blind taste test and I thought it was phenomenal - but at $6 each, I doubt I'll order it again. read more

Love this place. Everything I've had just makes me so happy. Today I had the lamb wrap with consommé and it was soooo juicy. Lamb was perfectly seasoned, super rich and brightened up with my fav - red pickled onions. The consommé on the side was a sophisticated touch. Looks spicy but is actually mellow, and with a squeeze of lemon it's delightful. Ambience is bright and lively, and staff seem very nice. Simple menu makes ordering easy. Highly recommend whenever you want to get something other than a burrito in the Mission. :) read more

This is purely a review for Reem's chocolate tahini cookie. Would love to try the other food options someday, but I mainly come here for the cookie. Saw that their cookie was rated the best cookie in SF by The SF Chronicle, so I had to try it. Liked it a lot the first time, and have gotten the cookie a handful of other times whenever I'm in the Mission or at the Ferry Building. It's pretty good; I love the toasted sesame seeds all over the cookie, the chocolate chips are nice and gooey, and the tahini gives it a nice lil bit of umami. Crispy edges and soft center is my preference for chocolate chip cookie texture, and this cookie has it. Doesn't hold up as well cold, but once I give it a quick toast, it's a solid 7.5-8/10 cookie. read more

It was not crowded at all on a Friday afternoon. Foodwise: - 4.6/5: MLM $22. It's an arab bread with toppings. The bread has great chew. Good topping combo. - 4.4: La Gringa $23. Good wrap overall, and the sauce that comes with it is great. - 4.0: Baklava $5. Better than average. You can tell it's freshly made and crispy. - 3.5: Chocolate Chip Sesame cookie $5. Way over-hyped. It's below average compared to a typical good chocolate chip cookie. read more

Definitely get the refreshing watermelon & feta appetizer. Mezze sampler was also fantastic! Consider getting extra bread for all the hummus, labneh, and harissa-based sauce - we felt like the one piece of bread we got wasn't enough. The pickled cauliflower was especially good. Falafel was fresh (you can ask for it as a side - you get 6 pieces), and the accompanying sauce perfectly flavorful. The MLM flatbread is a delicious pick. Cheese man'oushe was classically salty (a bit too much for my taste & my least favorite of the dishes), and za'atar man'oushe was good but not mindblowing. We rounded out the meal with some white wine from Lebanon, Merwah. Service was pretty quick, and the place was well-decorated. A guy with a guitar came into the restaurant and started playing while we were eating. read more

Loved the mezze plate. get another pita it only comes with one. I like the hummus best and the roasted pepper. I really liked the decorations and lighting here. I didn't really care for the gringa wrap. I think I am just picky with lamb sometimes. there were just a lot of chewy bits in mine and I am weird about those kind of things. read more

Everything was sooooo yummy! There is seating inside and beautiful decorations on the walls! The service was prompt and the food was great. The cookie was a take on a classic chocolate chip cookie with the sesame seeds on the outside added a nice nuttiness. The corn flatbread was so nicely spiced and the sauce went really well with it. The zatar bread was also so earthy and seasoned! Loved this place. read more

This restaurant is located in the mission and wanted to support a Palestinian-owned business. Can't go any wrong with places in the mission. Parking: The usual, it's SF, and gotta look for parking by curbside Service: I genuinely felt like I came over to somebody's house and they took care of me with love. Ambiance: The place was very colorful and decorated in lots of Palestinian art Pali Cali $21 (8.5/10): This was delicious, the olive oil made it taste rich with the chicken and I genuinely felt like I was eating bone marrow. I love arugula and made it refreshing to eat with it. Had an add-on of labneh ($4) and was shocked that it was so expensive for sauce, especially since I expected a lot more for that price. Falafel wrap $16 (7.5/10): This was good, I'm used to having homemade ones so my standards are high. Not the best but it's a good option if you don't mind it being more on the expensive side. Overall, this place is more on the expensive side as expected when eating in SF. The ingredients are fresh and the place feels homey. read more

My daughter chose Arabic food so we went to Reem's and found ourselves in a welcoming, brightly lit, corner restaurant with upbeat music in the Mission. We ordered: Pali Cali, La Gringa Labneh, Muhammara, Watermelon salad, Falafel salad and a Choc Chip Halawa cookie. For drinks, we had Damascus lemonade and Hibiscus rose. We especially enjoyed the fresh watermelon, the crunchiness of the falafel and creaminess of the labneh. The cookie is a must-try especially for those that love chocolate chip! Walking around in the Mission is good fun afterwards, staring at the murals while the sun sets... read more

I paid $30 for a falafel and side of hummus here. AndI had to order it at a counter and then get my own drinks and cutlery. The falafel was fine but the hummus had so much oil on it it's all I could taste. It did not have any pickles on it and was dry. The one staff member on duty was very busy. I feel like with this food markup, there should be more staff. I won't be going back here. The food is too expensive for what you get. Old Jerusalem across the street is better value for the money I think. read more

I ordered this for delivery. The falafel was really good, not dry at all. The wrap had great flavor; lots of mint, cucumber & tomato. The wrap was fresh and traveled well during delivery. The reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars was because it was more on the smaller size portion wise. Maybe I'd try something different next time. read more

Brightly lit and colorfully decorated, a great spot in Mission with quality ingredients. Busy on a week night but service was friendly. Their pita is amazing! Freshly made, fluffy, slight chew. Pairs perfectly with any of their dips. Prices are definitely high for what you get but the pita is worth it. read more

My husband and I shared the falafel salad, la gringa and za'atar man'oushe. Everything was INCREDIBLE. Best falafel I've ever had paired with creamy tahini dressing and fresh mint, veggies.

New favorite restaurant in the city - will be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

Went to Reem's on a Thursday evening, and there was a slight wait to be seated indoors, so it's clearly a popular place. The interior is really bright and colorful. The person trying to seat us was really helpful and gracious, and we viewed / ordered off the QR code as soon as we sat down. We got the muhamarra, hummus, and two pitas (one with zaatar and the other with beef). The muhamarra was probably my favorite; it was a little chunkier, and the deep roasted flavor and sweetness kept me going back with my fresh, warm pita. The hummus was also delicious - very light and the olive oil was really high quality (tbh I don't fully know how to tell good and bad olive oil but ... this olive oil felt obviously good). The zaatar pita dish was so flavorful, crunchy, and satisfying - the veggies and hot sauce on top elevated the whole dish. For two people, we both left with a good amount of leftovers: 3 dishes would have been fine but it was nice to taste more of the menu. The food came out pretty fast within ordering, so all in all, really met my expectations given all I've heard! read more

TLDR - super yummy, juicy, all the right amounts of tangy chicken = Pali Cali. Must try. I tried the Pali Cali from here and suddenly I may have a new favourite dish cos how is it so tasty and light and also so filling. The bread, the onion, the chicken, everything was just so perfectly balanced with this. And it's a full meal that I had to save some for dinner. 10/10. I'm definitely going to try the hummus, falafel salad, and other items in the menu. *chef's kiss* thank you! Shukraan! read more

Reem’s - Cookie - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

I really didn't take notice of what took over the late, lamented Mission Pie at the corner of Mission and 25th. I was watching a new episode of "Check, Please! Bay Area" and saw them spotlight this brightly colored Arabic cafe which to my chagrin, has been at this prime location for the past three years. Owner Reem Assil came by way of the female-driven incubator La Cocina. The flatbreads and mezza looked fresh and quite appetizing. When I was taking an early evening stroll on Mission, I had come upon this place by surprise since I had already eaten but was quite curious. I stepped in and decided to have the $3.50 Chocolate Chip Halawa Cookie since it was basically calling my name...in Arabic (photo). I didn't know what halawa was but soon discovered its joy. It's a sesame paste made with tahini, and they mix it with TCHO chocolate chunks and toasted sesame seeds (photo: https://bit.ly/3ktIRSo). It was quite yummy with the richly potent $2.50 House Drip Coffee (photo: https://bit.ly/3kmkoOJ). I was determined to come back for lunch, and I was back a few days later when business was bustling in the middle of the afternoon. I decided to keep it healthy since I was by myself. I started with the $13 Winter Fattoush Salad, a just-right bowl filled with arugula, little gems, chicory, citrus, shaved fennel, radish, red onion, herbs, and fried pita wedges, doused lightly with a pomegranate vinaigrette (photo: https://bit.ly/3XjYhXK). It was like a Palestinian version of a panzanella salad but with a brighter freshness. Since man can't live on salad alone - at least this man - I added another plate. I felt a need to try a Mana'eesh, a flatbread, so I went for the $7 Cheese made with akkawai which is a brined cow's milk spread evenly on the thin flatbread (photo: https://bit.ly/3GPVPS0). They quartered it because I'm sure they were worried I'd devour it whole. I might have, but luckily I ate it folded over like a New York pizza from 2 Bros. The $4 Sayyid Palmer, a blend of Damascus lemonade and Ceylon tea, was a refreshing libation (photo: https://bit.ly/3HgkVLe). He must be Arnold's cousin.

Good fresh Falafel Salad. I'm gluten free so it's about all I can order. They don't give enough dressing; the tiny cup they offer is good for about 1/3 of the generous salad. I'm eating a dry salad. Also it is quite bland; dressing needs salt and garlic and more citrus. Give more than a tiny cup of dressing!! I ask for extra dressing, but they forget it each time (twice now)...I'll have to double check every time before leaving. My bad. read more

Reem's is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in SF - absolutely delicious spot. It's a small spot in mission, the first time we went we had to wait. We ordered Beet Mutabal, Ful Medammas, Baba Ghanoush, Hummus, Falafel and Labneh. Dishes like Mutabal and Ful aren't found in a lot of Middle Eastern restaurants in the city (as far as I have seen) - this place is really authentic. As a vegetarian, I feel like I had many options here. All the food was delicious- the highlight were the potatoes, they were crispy and flavorful. I also enjoyed my drink - the orange blossom spritz. The only con was that we felt rushed towards the end - the restaurant shuts down quite fast even if there are customers past closing time. We weren't able to order dessert even though we were only a few minutes into closing time. Will definitely check this place out again!! read more

I came by with friends; we ordered the pali cali flatbread, falafel salad, za'atar man'oushe, the mezze sampler, and a chocolate chip halawa cookie. Some brief notes: -The za'atar man'oushe comes understated. Thin crisp (but not crunchy, thank god) flatbread slathered with olive/sumac/salt/herbs; things don't have to be complicated to be good. -The falafel is beautifully crispy and is halved to present extra color in the salad, but that means we miss out on the full crisp. Then, too, I'd love extra mint and more salt on the tomatoes. -The mezze sampler comes by default with one pita. I recommend getting extra. The labneh is wonderful and pairs well with beets (incidentally, there's a NYT cooking recipe involving labneh, honey, and beets that is very good). -The pali cali, what I came for, has good tender chicken. But it ends there. I'm not sure about arugula as a topper, but pickled onions are correct. -The cookie is essentially a salted chocolate chip cookie with sesame seeds sprinkled liberally over the top of the dough and in a ring on the underside. The seeds help with the edge-crunch, but once through the edge, the crunch disappears. The salt makes it unbalanced; I get crystals of salt which don't unlock the chocolate, as the chips aren't particularly large. read more

Got to try Reem's at a conference recently and was impressed to learn that this Palestinian and woman-owned establishment was the one that went viral for protecting its employees. I was able to try the Pali Cali - the dish was refreshing, light, and still held delicious flavor. I was pleased with the quality of the meal and was able to hear Reem herself talk about her journey into the business and what it all stands for during the event. Looking forward to trying more from this business in the near future! read more

My coworker said the Chocolate Chip Halawa Cookie was his favorite, so I knew I had to try it. I ordered through their catering menu a week before needed it. They only allow catering orders 3+ days in advance. I ordered one order of Dozen Halawa Chocolate Chip Cookies and an order of Assorted Dozen Desserts, which should've included one dozen assorted desserts (nammoura, baklawa, halawa chocolate chip cookies). I'm rating this first experience of mine a 4 because they didn't include Nammoura in the order of one dozen desserts. It only included baklawa and halawa chocolate chip cookies. See picture for reference. They should've given me the heads up that they couldn't include Nammoura or at least said why it wasn't included? I probably would've ordered something else instead. The desserts itself were good! I especially loved the halawa chocolate chip cookies. It was crispy on the outside but the inside was soft. It's also vegan, which is a plus! Despite missing a dessert from the dozen dessert order, I would order from here again since it was delicious. read more

Incredible food! Not just that but a rare selection of Lebanese wine you can't find anywhere else. Service is outstanding. Highly recommend!

We came by at 7 pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. There were quite a few of us, so we ordered a bunch of dishes. The service throughout the whole night was great. Baba ghanouj 5/5: Loved it Batata nara (garlic fries) 3/5: Didn't have as much garlic flavor or crisp as I'd hoped Falafel 5/5: Yum! Super crunchy outside and soft and warm inside. Muhammara 5/5: I didn't know muhammara was chunky since I'd only had it a few times smooth before. Great flavor, but I think I prefer it non-chunky. Winter seasonal flatbread 3.5/5: I thought this was alright, but most of my friends LOVED it. I think there was just a flavor in there I'm not a fan of. Shakshuka 4.5/5: Solid, love the flavors. Pita 5/5: Great! read more

Nice casual spot. I arrived around 1:45pm on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy here, I got the corner booth. However, the food was slow. It took at least 30 minutes for our food to come out; it actually came out after they officially closed (we ordered around 2:30pm, it came out after 3pm). THE COST About $50 total for a few shared plates between 3 adults & 1 toddler. * Cardamom Latte $5.50 - 5 stars This was perfection. I dream about having this again. Lovely thick texture, perfect cardamom hint without being too sweet. * Knafeh A LA MODE $13.00 - 4 stars Sticky and good, but they forgot the ice cream at first! We also got these dishes/drinks, but I didn't try any: Cheese Man'oushe $7.00, Sujuk (H) $4.00, Veg Mix - Tomatoes, Cucumbers & Mint $3.00, Labneh $2.00, Sayid Palmer $4.00 read more
