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

Great little spot. Open late, vegan options. Service was excellent, very attentive . I would go with the vegan burger over the vegan gyros

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.

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?

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

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!

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 Bite - Chicken Gyro Rice Bowl, Organic Beef Kebab Rice Bowl, Chicken Gyro Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

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

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

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

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

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

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

I passed by the place a many time but couldn't get the chance to try it out soon enough. Shame on me. I became addicted to their food, it just always fresh and fast.

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

I love the chicken breast rice bowl here and also the pita bread. The chicken is tender , cooked to perfection and always taste yum! I keep ordering this over and over again 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

They CARE about allergies! My kid can't have dairy or wheat/gluten. The website is crystal clear which ones he can eat. The food is AWESOME - cooked perfectly and amazing flavor! If you like heat...try the chipotle hummus SO GOOD! read more

Open late and has a bunch of vegan options that are all labeled on the menu! Tried the dolma, vegan gyro wrap, & falafel wrap and they were all solid. Staff was really friendly, plenty of seating, food came out quickly, def recommend! 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

The food was absolutely perfect! Had the felafel rice plate, the bit fries, and the chipotle humus. We rounded out meal out with the traditional Turkish baklava. So good! I'm really surprised at reviews that knock stars off for the location. The business owners can't control this. It feels safe, it's clean, and the food is amazing. What more could I want? The food is fresh and homemade. 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

Amazing service and gave good suggestions. Food was super flavorful and they were on top of customer needs. Bathroom was super clean, which is always a good sign of a place that cares. 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

I ordered the Vegan wrap and could not eat it due to it being so super spicy - I wish the description stated how spicy the tofu/mushroom sauce was. Had to throw it away. read more

I've been craving Mediterranean food and to my surprise, this spot just opened up near my work area! I ordered the Beef plate and the meat was very flavorful! I enjoyed also dipping it into the three sauces that came with it. I also appreciated the owner and the head chef check-in about the food and chat it up with me. Nice friendly staff and good vibes all around! read more

The service is efficient and pleasant. It's a quiet, relaxing, small dining room if you are passing the area and need a quiet spot to eat a quick bite (haha, just realized I typed that, not intentional). I can't say too much about the food, as I've only really tried a few things and mainly salads. The house dressing is good. I've enjoyed all the salads except for the one with dried figs. The roasted eggplant is pretty good too. From what I remember about the rice and meat I tried (forgive me, I don't remember what I ordered) I had to add a bunch of their sauces, but it was good. I'm a person who doesn't like dry textures. read more

Amazing food and service. I also love that it's right across the street from Monarch. If you need a reasonably priced, delicious solid base before dancing all night I highly recommend this spot. read more

Nice place. When l heard Turkish music , it made me so happy. Loved it . I often go this place to pick up my food. Service is so good. Very welcoming read more

Delicious and quick food, generous portion size, and reasonable prices! I got the vegan gyro rice bowl and the mint lemonade. The vegan gyro was delicious and all of the flavors in the bowl were amazing. I really liked the mint lemonade - it was the right amount of sweetness and the mint was a great touch. The only downside is the restaurant isn't in the best area, but the food is amazing! read more

Such a great find! High quality, delicious and reasonably priced dishes. I got the Organic Beef Kebab Rice Bowl (which is also gluten free - like many other menu items) and it was delicious.

Yes this place is expensive but it is AMAZING. Those beef kabobs are delicious, mind you enough for 2 meals..The salad is sooo fresh, I will for sure return very soon. read more

Honestly very disappointed in this place! The chicken was so dry and tasted like dog food. Very bland and looked unappetizing. Chicken had weird tuna texture did nit taste like chicken. They did not follow orders notes too. read more

Lucky me! I ventured onto Yelp to look for something new for lunch and I found the Bite! It's their second day open and it's a privilege to be one of the firsts to try their foods. Simply put, the food is great. I got the chicken rice kabob plate, and the chicken is fully cooked, not dry, and nicely seasoned. The rice isn't too exciting, but pairs well with the chicken (and side sauces) and the side salad was fresh. Definitely a lunch spot to put in your rotation. Best of luck to The Bite! read more
