The Bite - Falafel - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

The Bite is one of my go-to places for lunch when I am in the area, for work or for appointments and carry-out as well. The food is always fresh and delicious, like homemade, and the flavors are subtly unique for typical Mediterranean fare. The service is always friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is simple but pleasant, and even though it is in an unpleasant area, it is being cleaned up significantly and this place is worth a stop. read more

Fast service. To-go comes in a paper tote bag. Had some homemade lemonade. Cashier said strawberry was the sweetest. I settled for ginger. It's hard to find ginger drinks. The gyro was full of meat, beef and lamb. Very fresh. It came with 3 sauces, spicy orange, very mild orange, and cilantro tasty sauce. So far, not very thirsty, good sign for no MSG. They remodeled, and it seems more welcoming and inviting to sit and eat.. Last time, it was just totally dark. read more

This is a small Mediterranean restaurant in not the best area of the city, so already minus points for me, but I was in desperate need of feeding my rumbling stomach. Once I decided what I wanted, a plus for this place was that they were very fast. I ordered and it probably took 5min, probably also because they didn't really have any other customers besides two other people. I ordered the Lamb and Beef Gyro Wrap that was like its name, a Lamb and Beef Gyro Wrap with Tsatziki, Hummus, Spring Mix, Feta Cheese, and Orange Sauce. The Lamb and Beef Gyro was okay, but I have definitely had better. The Lamb and Beef was nicely cut into small slivers, but there was a lack of flavor and too much Feta Cheese. The Feta Cheese basically overwhelmed the whole dish since there was a lot of it. The only thing that made it slightly better was the Orange Sauce that I had no idea what it was, but wish there was more flavor besides the Feta Cheese. Overall, fast service, but the Gyro lacks flavor and not in the best neighborhood. read more

I order delivery from here pretty frequently. The food is always fresh, the portions are big, and very well priced. I've been looking for healthier delivery options and this is one of my top choices! Not to mention, the food is delicious. my go to order is the lamb and beef rice bowl. read more

The Bite - Lamb & Beef Gyro Rice Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Hit this place after a nearby art opening. Standout food and friendly service. Absolute gem!

No doubt that Sixth and Mission has always been a rather checkered intersection, and right next to a long-standing porn store on the corner (where you can "Explore the Passion!") is 996 Mission Street, which has housed at least four different eateries in the past decade. Chinese takeout with Fu War and Spicy Garden. Most recently it was Vegan Filipino fare at Nick's. Now it's serving Mediterranean fast food, and I like the food. It appears the new owners kept the muted decor Nick set up, and it works. The menu focuses on hummus, pita wraps, salads, and rice bowls. I immediately gravitated toward the $12.99 Mighty Kale, a big salad festooned with thick slices of red beets, mandarin orange segments, walnuts, and chopped dried apricots. I had them add quite a dollop of chicken gyros for an additional $4.99 (photo: https://bit.ly/3mRwBJJ). It actually came with four different dressings, though it didn't need any since the ingredients were flavorful on their own. It was delicious, just the right entree salad on a rainy night during a pandemic. I also tried the $7.99 Sautéed Eggplant, baked, mashed and mixed with tomato sauce and butter (photo: https://bit.ly/3zqGS4C). A bit mushy but I liked it, especially to scoop up with the pita wedges (photo: https://bit.ly/3FYO6PH). On a separate night, I tried the $11.99 Vegan Wrap which took full advantage of their fluffy pita bread to encase the hummus, mixed greens, and sautéed mushrooms that acted as the vegan gyros (photo: https://bit.ly/3FUNvi3). Here's hoping The Bite lasts longer than the last four cafes. I could use a dependably healthy option in the neighborhood. FOOD - 4 stars...lots of tasty toppings on their kale salad, and the vegan wrap was almost decadent AMBIANCE - 4 stars...an island of civility at Sixth and Mission SERVICE - 4 stars...quite friendly and courteous snd very quick TOTAL - 4 stars...good and fast Mediterranean food nearby is always a good thing RELATED - Exploring 6th Street?

The food was excellent. We had the falafel wrap and vegan burger. The burger was amazing. It made me check the ingredients again because it tastes so much like a regular burger (soft bun, a little messy, crisp vegan patty, crunchy pickles, etc.). The fries were great. They were salted well and a little crispy (similar to McDonald's). The falafel was fresh and well seasoned. The ambiance is another story. The location is not the best in SF. Okay, it is really suspect (more homeless than you can count and the homeless that are zoned out). Regardless of the surroundings, I will return. Yes, the food was that good. read more

Ordered the chicken gyro wrap for take out and it was pretty bad. Soggy and too salty. Was expecting much better given the good reviews, but it was definitely a let down. read more

Wowwwwww 11/10 it's sooooo clean. The food was sooooo good. My group got the lentils soup ‍ al la carte salmon (it was soooo crispy and good), whatever they season the fries with is top tier, vegan gyro with mushrooms and all the goods flavorful, melts in your mouth. All State You're In Good Hands. Service was amazing good hospitality. I would recommend forsure !!! read more

I was really looking forward to taking a nibble out of The Bite and their Mediterranean menu. I was staying at a nearby hotel and figured this would make for a good dinner given how nice the venue is and their marketing online. Sadly, I was a bit disappointed in my overall experience with their food. I ordered the Vegan Pita Wrap, hummus, and a side of fries. I wasn't sure what to expect when it came to the vegan wrap as I assumed it would be some type of vegan gyro meat. It ended up being tofu doused in their sauce and included with all their pita wrap fixings. I thought the overall wrap lacked a lot of flavor and could have been so much better. Their included house orange sauce with the pita was tasteless. You do get a complimentary hummus with a Yelp check-in so I do appreciate that bonus. However, I found even their hummus to be extremely bland as well. Shoe string fries were served as our side so it wasn't anything to write home about. With my food tasting as it did, I honestly didn't even finish my meal. I think there is a lot of promise and potential here. They have friendly staff and a nice venue for dining in. But based on what I had that evening, I'm in no rush to take another bite of their food. read more

This place is really unassuming but really good! I'm a vegetarian so I always like to try new veggie stuff when I'm on a trip and this place did not disappoint. I ordered sides because I wanted to try many things. The chipotle hummus was so good! Also the falafel was delicious, a little different than usual but in a good way! They were a little lighter and came with a really good sauce. I also got the eggplant which was good but on the spicier side which I didn't expect but liked. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for some good veggie options in soma/tenderloin ! read more

So scrumptious! Definitely a bang for your buck. Lots of protein and different sauces for you to try it with which I enjoyed. They have seating and the person who took our order was super kind and friendly. I will caution you and say that it is in a bit of a sketchy area though. read more

The food at the Bite was incredible - honestly, some of the best Mediterranean food I've had in the Bay! The staff was so kind and accommodating- I asked to make a reservation for 20 people for a work lunch very last minute and they were extremely gracious and helped make it happen. All of us enjoyed the food & the ambiance & had a great time. Huge shout out to Emre and the staff- would highly recommend the Bite! read more

To give the overview short and sweet - this place is great. I am always up for Greek food and this was a great spot. The service was fantastic, the food was good and the ambiance was not bad. I would've liked my meat to have a little more flavor but their sauces were awesome. The gentlemen working the register insisted on helping me and he was very nice. The place is not in a great part of town but the inside is nice. Definitely worth giving it a try. Starting with the ambiance - I'll be blunt, it's not very nice outside. Not so much the restaurant but I'd be a little nervous coming back here late at night. The inside is very clean, everything is well kept and looks neat. Reminds me of a pretty standard takeout type of shop. Plenty of tables to sit at and I enjoyed just chillin by the window. Certainly not bad. Onto the service - excellent. You order at the front and the gentlemen at the register was on the phone but quickly hopped off and insisted on helping me order instead of ordering from the kiosk. He explained all their delicious sauces and answered some of my questions. Overall nice kid, food came out fast and he nearly ran it over to me. I forgot to get a receipt and he even went back, printed one and brought it to me. This is literally an order at the front restaurant, this was pretty great service considering. Lastly, the food. It was very good but not the best. I got a Chicken Gyro. The chicken was a little firm but still juicy. The seasoning on the chicken wasn't bad but was fairly plain. Otherwise, that's pretty much the majority of my complaints. The sauces made the gyro delicious and I doused it in all of them. I swallowed the whole thing in about 10 minutes because it was pretty dang good. The pita was fluffy and fresh and the veggies were even still crisp. Only regret was that I didn't get any tzatziki and pita. Definitely give this place a shot, great value for the money and nice little spot. read more

Great food and very friendly staff. The food tastes amazing. I really like the rice. You will plenty of sauces. We ordered the falafels and beef-lamb gyro plate. They were delicious. The homemade lemonade was very refreshing. You can really taste the lime. The restaurant was not crowded when we were there. The staff was very accommodating and keep checking if you need anything. It felt very cozy inside. The price was reasonable compared with other restaurants in the area. read more

The chicken is so good! Seasoned so well. Love getting delivery from here. Also, the bean salad is massive and lasted for 2 separate meals.

I love a good mediterranean spot, especially one that has clearly marked gluten-free items. I recently moved within walking distance, so I've been here a few times. Everything is fresh and delicious, and the portions are generous. read more

Found them through DoorDash. But the salmon bowl is a must try. Salmon is well seasoned and cooked to perfection!

Ordered food from here for the first time today. I was very impressed and positively surprised. The meats were great, the two different gyros were probably my favorite thing. The falafel are excellent! What a great idea to add all the sesame seeds. The salads were decent too. read more

Stellar food that's good for you and doesn't break the bank! The staff are also excellent. Much more service than a similar style of order and sit restaurant. I even forgot to get my receipt (for work per diem) and after calling to see if I could have it sent to me they did so within 3 minutes. Very grateful :) read more

Too Spicy! An Unexpected Twist in Mediterranean Cuisine. When I imagine Mediterranean food, I don't typically associate it with spiciness. However, to my surprise, the Chicken Gyro wrap I ordered turned out to be quite spicy. It seemed like the gyro meat had been coated with a fiery mixture before being tucked into the pita. Despite the unexpected heat, the gyro itself was very good. The restaurant also provided a variety of sauces, which complemented the flavors well. I couldn't help but wonder if the spiciness was an option that was mistakenly applied but I don't recall seeing this listed on their menu. If you enjoy a kick of spice, this gyro would be a great choice (although I must note that I don't recall any tomatoes or onions in the wrap). It's important to mention that this is not your typical Greek chicken gyro. Fries (McDonald like, shoe-string), were excellent. read more

Lentil soup was solid and came with a fresh lemon wedge and nicely grilled pita slices. Grilled Salmon was wonderful. Perfectly grilled and seasoned. Came with Tahini sauce (which I didn't like) and a good lemon sauce both given on the side which was appreciated and a lemon slice. read more

1st Mediterranean food spot I tried. I highly recommend this place for those that are on a health journey & still want to eat tasty foods I got the gyro & lamb wrap. It was delicious. It came with 2 sauces. A green and orange sauce. The green sauce gives a lil minty tingle. Also the falafel is a great side to have with this. They taste amazing with the sauces provided. Topped my whole meal with the baklava dessert. read more

Happened upon this establishment when looking for eateries near Golden Gate Theatre. More often we're at Orpheum and eat at Sam's American eatery or La Cuisine but Golden Gate a few blocks in the other direction. Thank goodness so many posted reviews !! Driving or walking by. I probably would not have given the bite a second glance. But y'all singing its praises prompted me to bookmark it. Theater on Market, parking Jessie and next block The Bite. Easy peasy. Ok, to review. Yeah, had to step over or pass by a few unhoused folks. But crossed the threshold into a fresh, inviting, pleasing minimalist decor, small eatery. The owners were gracious and helpful. We three chose; falafel wrap, chicken wrap, chicken breast entrée, ginger lemonade, and Turkish coffee. The wraps served with a tahini which we liked, but it wasn't traditional; a bit of chili added. Didn't try the hotter sauce. Both thought the wrap just the right amount of softness and crispy outside. The three Falafel were delicious and wouldn't have minded even more garlic. Crisp outer, soft inner. The Chicken breast entrée was large and reportedly delicious and juicy. Loved the hot kick of fresh ginger in the Ginger Lemonade. It lasted me the whole drive home. Companion enjoyed his trad Turkish coffee, providing caffeine for his long drive home. We'll all return! read more

High quality super fresh ingredients. Owners and staff are really kind and present, ready to assist. Falafel beautifully seasoned. How do they find tomatoes that taste like summer in winter? Great salads. Their sauces are so good I could just eat them by themselves. Lentil soup is a winner. So glad that they are here. read more

My friend moved into one of the new apartment buildings across the street from The Melt. It's not in the best neighborhood, but I just mind my own business & don't feel too unsafe. The restaurant itself is pretty smell, just a few tables. Each time I've gone in, I was greeted by someone behind the counter almost immediately. They are super friendly and very patient while you choose your food (by "your" I'm referring to my friend, because he always takes a long time! Hehe) The food comes out quickly, is packed neatly with napkins and a couple sides of sauce (I always get the gyros - which are amazing!! I hope this little store survives because I plan on going back time and time again! read more

I've had Vegan Gyro Rice Bowl, Classic Hummus and Falafel 4 pieces. Vegan Gyro was full of flavor and was juicy. I can't not give enough credit for their falafels it was so crispy outside and green on the inside I loved it. Their Hummus was served with pita bread and it was just the right amount of food for an appetizer. But the most important thing for me was their healthy drink options. I've had Harvest Coconut Water but I'll get the kombucha next time. Server was so nice and always smiled to me and was so respectful. I'll definitely come back on my next SF trip! read more
