SF Kebab is located within the UCSF Mission Bay campus (a medical center), and across the street from the stadium. It's tucked away in a garden setting. They offer ample seating and also have outdoor seating too. It's name is generic, I wasn't sure what type of kebab. After visiting it's Turkish, but it's food is not authentically Turkish. I ordered the chicken kebab plate which comes with salad, rice and bread. The chicken kebab was moist but the meat was underseasoned and it tasted old/expired. No lemon slice was in sight! The rice was okay, and the salad was overdressed with a cheap vinaigrette. Their cucumber yogurt and hot sauce was the only respite from this chicken's poor taste. It is unfortunately not a good experience. The atmosphere was nice enough to come back but I definitely wouldn't order lunch here again.
I have mixed feelings about this spot and it's probably because I've had inconsistent experiences. What I always enjoy is the outdoor seating and nicely lit indoor space. The hummus is the best I've ever had and the mezze platter is a great share. The meat can be overcooked or dry in the entrees though.
This place looks inviting, yummy, has that awesome college campus vibe and professional all at the same time. I see med students, health professionals and kids. They are very welcoming. The staff is super friendly. The food was excellent. And there's foosball table, sports memorabilia, seat cushions, great lighting and lots of plants. There's so much to say. But all I can say is I recommend this place. Come and give 'em a try! That solid A is smokin!!!!
Always curious about this place, my partner is receiving treatment at UCSF and I decided to try it out today. Food is delicious, I had the chicken gyro plate with the dressing on the side. Loved it. The place can get busy around lunch time, but there is ample seating inside and outside. Plenty of natural light inside. Service is quick, if you are eating in they gave you a number and bring out your food to your table.
First visit to SF Kebab, food was really fresh, service friendly and prompt with orders. Had a little rush while I was there which was a great sign. Food was really good and gets the vote for best Falafel. Access to napkins recommended be place where you have access prior to seating as their was some debris left from the previous dinners on the table but nothing to wipe them off if you need to do it yourself... just a suggestion. The restaurant has a nice well lite, wood accents and colored pillows give it a nice cozy ambiance.
SF Kebab Stopped by while I was in the area and craving something quick but not too heavy--SF Kebab hit the spot. I went with the Salmon Shish Kebab Plate (23.95), it was well-seasoned and grilled just right: tender inside with a nice char on the outside. The portion was generous, with a good amount of rice and a fresh side salad to balance it out. Service was fast and no-fuss, which I appreciated since I was just passing through. A reliable, satisfying meal
My coworkers and I stopped by for lunch to give this spot a try. Pretty busy place with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly cashier at the counter. I'm not a fan of lamb so I got the kofta wrap. My friends got the kofta plate and the chicken kebab plate. We all remarked that the prices are on the higher side. Food came out to our outdoor table. My wrap was mostly lettuce and a smaller serving of the beef. Wasn't really impressed. My friend's plates had more meat, especially the chicken entree. The accompanying rice wasn't great, per my coworker. Both plates came with a stale roll vs flatbread. I wanted to like this place but wasn't really impressed.
The other day, we tried a Mediterranean restaurant across the street from Chase Center. Love my Mediterranean food! I ordered Hummus w/ Pita Bread. It was so good. I loved the way they made theirs. I also ordered the Plate with Beef Shish Kebab, Pilaf & Salad. Dan was so nice to talk to in the beginning & he gave us Baklava on the house! Shout out to him! The prices are not bad at all, considering being in San Francisco, on top of that, across the street from Chase Center. The place is nice and spacious. Nice outside seat, could be for a nice day! I look forward to coming here again!
The hummus was good we got that with two chicken kabobs. Everything was fresh and clean good seating and food came out quickly at a decent speed considering the rush before a concert across the street.
Whats better than a Sunny Day in San Francisco & superb middle eastern food!? The service was superb to say the least & the venue was super warm w/outdoor seating & a lil foosball table while customer waited for their food. I order Alexanders Favorite(pictured) & it has become my favorite. The marinated meat & hand made bread soak in the juax of the beef warmed my heart & soul to a dish that served a homely sort of experience w/the red tomato sauce. Not to mention the house yogurt which elevated & balanced the dish to completeness. We also ordered the Mezze platter. The baba ganoush was the best ive ever had & couldn't stop eating. My dining partner also really enjoyed the hummus. A passing customer looked at our table & iterated; " you musta like it you cleaned up your plate". Lol All an all a lovely experience & cant wait to come back again
The ambiance and location are seven stars. This place is perfect. What is it, even? It's like one of those restaurants in those sci-fi movies, like the third and fourth seasons of Westworld, although I hated both those seasons with so much passion, it's not even funny. The food is pretty good. It's pretty expensive too. I don't mean it's ridiculously expensive in a ridiculous way, but for what you get, it just doesn't feel too valuable. But did I mention the physical surroundings? Inside and out. There are tactile, visual, and botanical delights in which to delight. Even the space around and outside is inviting, although strange. What's with all the dirt? Why isn't there a path? Are you supposed to eat outside on those benches? I'm sure the answer to all these questions is UCSF, as in they own the land, so they do whatever they want or don't want with it. But UCSF's indecision is your gain, because this place is kray to the kray. My falafel whatever was good. The people who work here are nice. There are many of them. I love all the tile and glass and cushions and ceramics. Is there a water station? I believe there is, and if my belief is correct, I love it! Don't let this place intimidate you, although it intimated me away from trying it for years. Learn from my mistakes! That's the best way to learn.
We were in the area and saw this place had good reviews, therefore we gave it a try. The food was delicious. We order beef and lamb gyros and hummus with pita bread and it did not disappoint. It took us back to when we were in Greece. The service was great and fast. The ambiance was welcoming perfect for families.
Came by on a weekday before Thanksgiving while my husband was at an appt at UCSF. Convenient location right across from the Chase Center. Beautiful interior, airy, bright. Only downside was it was a chilly day and I sat next to one of the side doors so there was a big gust of cold air each time someone went in or out! I had the Greek salad with a lamb kebab added. It was SO GOOD. The greens were fresh and crisp, the feta was salty and perfect (no bland cheap feta here), cucumber/tomato/onion were cut up into perfect bite size pieces. The balsamic vinaigrette was herby and delicious. The kebab had a great grilled taste, was well seasoned, and grilled perfectly tender. My only regret is I forgot to ask for their hot sauce, which is spicy and a bit fermenty and delicious. I know the hot sauce is good because before I left, I ordered my husband the same salad to go. In the to go bag, they kindly packed a container of the hot sauce, which went perfectly with the meat. Will definitely return here for a tasty meal next time I need to go to ucsf!

3.5 rounding to 4. Decent healthy food with plenty of clean indoor and outdoor seating. I've eaten here several times when I was in a pinch since lines and seating are never an issue. I tried their chicken kebab plate and their baklava before. Would come back for convenience. read more
I couldn't believe this restaurant was here! I spend too much time at Chase Center (go Valkyries) and parked my Lyft bike at a dock 1.5 blocks from Chase Center to get to SF Kebab. The Lyft bike dock was around the corner and I was still late to meet my friend because I couldn't find SF Kebab! I finally found it and was pleased. There were a lot of Valkyries fans here pre-game, but also some business people and UCSF medical people. It's solid quick food near Chase Center. My friend and I enjoyed sharing a falafel plate to start. Then she got some beef kebabs that came with a nice salad. I enjoyed a lamb and beef wrap. The meat was tender, chewy, and flavorful, and there was quite a bit of lettuce as well. I had a nice cider and she had an IPA. Service was friendly. Nice San Francisco artwork inside. read more

Wanted to grab dinner before a concert at the Chase Center. The spot was not crowded, probably because it was a bit hidden in sight from the arena. We came in and ordered at the cashier, then sat down outside where the weather was beautiful. The service was excellent. I got the mezze platter as an appetizer and the beef kebab plate. All the flavors were amazing. I wish the platter came with more pieces of pita bread. We had shared it between four people. There was a lot of dip left over, so we used it in our dishes instead. As for the kebabs, the flavor was amazing! My cousin got the chicken one and I think I preferred that one to my beef one because it was more juicy. My other cousin got a wrap and he loved it. All in all, this was a filling, delicious meal. My only gripe was that it was ridiculously expensive--typical SF. One plate and an appetizer was $75. read more

Very solid spot for a quick bite to eat! Found this spot randomly with my coworkers and was pleasantly surprised by: - the value--I got a lamb and beef gyros wrap and it was filled to the brim with meat and fresh veggies. The pita bread was soft and tasty. Loved that it had so much flavor but not too much sauce. $15 is very reasonable for SF prices too. Wasn't a fan of the hot sauce on the side tho, it tasted very artificial - the cleanliness. We went at 6pm and there weren't too many people eating, but things picked up shortly after. It was very clean and well-maintained. Service was fast - free bread for our party of six was a nice touch read more

The Combo Platter is a must! It allows you to try the various, tasty meats at SF Kebab. My favorite of the bunch was the Steak Kebab...the beef was so tender and smokey! This place is a must try if you're looking for a quick bite to eat next to Chase Center! Also, their wine pours are huge! Definitely come here for a drink with a friend and enjoy the tasty food. read more

We preordered our food on a Saturday around noon and the food was prepared promptly. To be honest, the lamb and beef gyro wrap was pretty dry. It needed some help and we asked for extra sauce on the side afterwards. Proportions were huge and i was full for as a tik tak. Location is beautiful with plenty of seating. Though, the tables were generally sticky and it was quite reminiscent of cafeteria days when I was bullied. I digress. Good spot. Just good. read more

Hidden Gem in downtown SF..great vibe inside and out. Great service, great food. For downtown decent price..we went for lunch and ended up eating a platter..a lot of food, totally worth every penny. Hope to be back. Thank you for the experience read more
Stopped here after a doctor appointment. My husband loves greek food. And let me tell you the food it AMAZING!! They definitely don't skip out on the portions. We each got a salad and it was enough for 2 people. We definitely have some leftovers to go with dinner tonight. We also got some fresh pita bread and hummus. Both were delicious as well. Gonna come back again and try something different. But this time we're probably gonna share a plate since they give you alot of food. read more
I come here frequently for work related events and meals. Today also dined in just casually with family on a weekend and was recommended to the get the Mixed Grill Platter for 6 with a mezze platter appetizer plate. It was so much food and well worth it. The Mixed Grill platter came with chicken, beef, lamb, and gyro meat on a bed of rice/pita AND a giant Greek salad to share. The meat was juicy and tender, and for a group of 6 adults and 2 children we still had plenty of leftovers. It is nice and chill to come when there are no other events or things going on. read more

Delicious But Pricey--Would I Go Back? Yes... But Maybe on Payday. I stopped by this kebab spot on a whim while visiting my boyfriend since it was in the area. First off, the restaurant itself is beautiful--definitely a nice place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Food The flavors were on point--super flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. But the portion sizes? Tiny. I got a small portion of meat, a small portion of rice, and a giant salad for $20. And honestly? The salad wasn't even that great. I would've much rather had more rice and kebab instead. Price vs. Value As a college student, this hurt my wallet. Even when I get my big-girl job, it's still gonna be pricey--but at least then, it won't feel as painful. Final Thoughts Would I come back? Yeah, but not often. The food was delicious, but for the price, I'd want more food on my plate. If you're down to splurge a little, it's worth trying! read more

How does the validated parking work here? Looking to grab a bite and then drop off my kids at the Chase center
We don't have validated parking at this time. UCSF does not allow Chase Center Parking. However, we are negotiating to get this arranged in the future. You can easily park in the 3rd Street Garage as we are right next door and the Chase Center is…
Does this place use MSG? Food was delicious but I felt headachy after eating
Hi DL, I have a serious allergy against MSGs, and when I have eaten there I had no problems at all.…
