    Hummus (Large)
    Dylan M.

    I was a long, longtime customer of what used to be in this location, Ali Baba's Cave. After a few years of mourning, I tried this place out. What I got was very solid shawarma, creamy and delicious hummus, and friendly/phenomenal service. While it isn't Ali Baba's in my heart, if you're in the mood for Mediterranean, it shouldn't disappoint.

    Great local spot. I've come in maybe 3-4 times and I've liked everything that I've tried. My husband and I like their chicken wrap and falafel. They have a good menu with Mediterranean and American (burgers) options. There's seating inside, it's clean with extra drinks and snacks to buy inside. The owner is very kind and always helps me with the menu and ordering. He speaks English and Spanish, maybe another language too. Definitely a place worth trying with great service.

    Amazing food! The people working were very kind and treated me like they had known me forever. Will be back!

    Upon walking in you were greeted with a very friendly staff that spoke Spanish and English! They were very accommodating with answering questions about the menu and suggesting things I might like. I ordered the chicken Shawarma wrap and as I waited the owner let me try a complementary falafel as a taste test. I sat down to enjoy my meal and the ambiance was inviting with other tables filled with chatter and continual guest coming in to order for to-go. I will be coming back and I'm happy the neighborhood has a new spot!

    I was heading to a movie at The Roxie and parked near SF Grill. I'm all about Mediterranean food, so decided to stop in. I ordered the falafel sandwich and was not disappointed! The falafel were crisp on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. The lavash was nicely toasted. I requested shatta to be added (love me a spicy wrap). The interior is simple and clean. The staff are kind, warm, and attentive. Stop in for a yummy meal!

    There's a new Mediterranean place that opened up a few days ago. Food is amazing. I ordered mixed grill plate and meat is well marinated and tender and delicious. It came with a variety of salads, pita bread and hummus We also got Chicken Shawarma. I've tried shawarma in many places and this one is the best - very juicy and savory.

    The falafel had to a crispy shell, and was fried to order: piping hot, served on a bed of hummus. The shawarma sandwiches were flavorful. I requested the spicy taking sauce to be added. Clean and friendly service. Check out out of your in the SF Valencia area.

    The owner was super friendly and courteous. The food was excellent I had the mezza plate and it was big enough to share! Absolutely delicious. The falafel is freshly made which is a plus! The restaurant is clean and it has a good atmosphere!

    The owner is truly so sweet. We were greeted with some free falafel to try and it's some of the best I've had. Shawarma was excellent. Charred pita came with it and it took it up a notch plus next level hummus.

    Very delicious! Tried a variety of different meats and was very pleased with the taste ! Very nice service, I liked that the food was served on ceramic plates. The temperature was perfect, everything was super fresh. Highly recommend to try it ! + the interior is really clean and they have nice tall ceiling which makes the ambiance really pleasant !

    Chicken Shawarma.
    Daniel G.

    Needed a quick bite, dropped in for a Shawarma. The lady behind the counter was really nice. She loaded the Shawarma up with chicken, veggies, sauce, and grilled it perfectly before serving. It was really delicious. I highly recommend this new restaurant.

    I don't know but it looks delicious

    We've come across and heard about Old Jerusalem before and felt like having middle eastern food…read moretonight, so we took a chance and tried them out. When we arrived at around 7:30 pm, there were tables available. It's a comfortable cafe-like restaurant with mural paintings on the wall. Service was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the food wasn't as good as the ambiance and waitstaff. ***OUR PICKS*** BEEF SHAWERMA ENTREE ~ the beef was overly salted, saffron rice was ok, hummus was really thick, like peanut butter. My guy ordered this and thought it was average. 3/5 LAMB SHISH KEBAB WRAP ~ this was my dish. I ate one half of the wrap and it only held two cubes of lamb meat. The lettuce and tomatoes made the wrap bland. The meat was seasoned, but everything was plain, so it needed more seasoning. Honestly, this was missing flavor! I'll have to add something to it when I eat the rest of this wrap at home. 2.5/5 HALF ROASTED CHICKEN AND RICE ~ Our friend ordered this dish. It needed more sumac. This tasted like plain roasted chicken. Maybe it needs more seasoning while marinating. It wasn't dry, so that's a relief. Rice was ok and it wasn't dry or soggy. 3.5 We've been spoiled and have had better food in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Nothing stood out for any of us. Prices are a bit high for what you get. Sadly, probably won't be back.

    Kokkari is as good as it gets for what I love. Especially Mediterranean/Adriatic: fish, lamb,…read moregarlic, olive oil, & lemon. Of course a Greek emphasis, but lots of intersection with my Croatian-American culinary heart! The smelts are fishy in a good way, nice crunch, texture, tang of lemon, & sharpness of garlic spread. Very difficult to find, never mind getting it right. The octopus & stuffed calamari were the right texture, seasoning, & flowing with olive oil. Finished with some greens. What a treat! Pro-tip: get the smelts, be bold. My wife raved about her moussaka. Artisan. Nice hint of cloves, right amount of yogurt béchamel. The lamb, beef, eggplant (not watery), & potato all stood out. My sons loved their salmon & chicken. I sampled and confirmed. My bronzino was FANTASTIC. This one was big & better quality than I usually buy. I got it with bones, head, & skin. Poured on olive oil, more salt, & garlic. Yeah, gotta use the hands, chew...graciously pulling out the bones, looking as civilized as possible. Folks, this is Mediterranean: a great fish should be eaten like this. Crisp skin, get the meat from the cheeks & head. Again: emphasis on olive oil mixed with fish juices from bones & lemon! We were stuffed and shared a Baklava. Nobody does it better. Except James Bond, 007, but in a different context. 2 glasses of wine & 2 Shirley Temples for kids. The service was excellent. Attentive. We were in the back & it wasn't loud. Classy servers & classy people enjoying themselves. Oh: great portions too. $407, including 20% tip. Great value for what you get. We've come here for special occasions. They've strengthened the bond, we'll be back more often. So reminiscent of what I eat in Croatia when I visit. Thank you Hellas!

We loved the Combo appetizer plate which came with generous portions of 9 different items. I loved everything ! I'm an eggplant lover and two of the dips were eggplant based . My new favorite dip is the Mercimek Kofte which is a red lentil based chunky dip ; I would've guessed garbanzo bean based dip. The Haydari dip was also super addictive, a thick creamy dip made of kefir cheese and Greek yogurt. So many delicious but gut healthy items of the combo plate; which comes with thin lavash bread. Also loved the red lentil soup, which was warming on a rainy day. I thought it was flavorful without being overly spiced or too thick. My husband enjoyed the lamb kebabs. Tender juicy cuts of lamb that were well seasoned , comes on a bed of salad and rice. We also liked the charred red peppers and onions on the kebab . Service was sufficient Overall great little find for dinner !

We ordered the combo plate which came with a lot of Pita bread, definitely enough to share among 4 people. Dishes came with a big helping of hummus too. I personally got the Kofte Kebab which filled me up. I had enough to bring home for lunch the next day. Getting a frozen yogurt at Easy Breezy is a must afterwards!!
