The lentil soup comes with their homemade bread and is quite comforting and tasty on a chilly day or when you're sick. The Sigara Boregi and baklava variations are addictive as well.
TubaNovember 26, 2018We visited this restaurant two times during our san francisco trip and everything was really so delicious 😋 We will definitely visit this restaurant again when we come to SF.
Rua DelalunJune 8, 2019This restaurant is easily the best restaurant in San Francisco! I loved it very much, Turkish cousine is amazing! Everyone should try it out!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get the Kunefe. You will forget Baklava and every other dessert you have ever had.
- J JohnJanuary 3, 2018Excellent Turkish cuisine. The kofta plate, pides (pies) are a must. The baklava is always fresh, the rice pudding delicious and the service first class
Abood AbussaudJuly 26, 2015Great food..love the chicken doner and the Iskender kebab.. Nice service.. Amazing tea/ coffee.. And their kunafa is the best I had in the country!
ᴡ UçarAugust 22, 2016Lentil soup is pretty good. Given the lack authenticity of turkish restaurants in the area, I can say they are better than average. They served actual pide with the soup instead of pita!
Jeena JamesMay 31, 2014Amazing food! We just stumbled upon this fantastic restaurant. Ordered the house wines, lahmacun (thin bread spicy meaty pizza) and the grilled kofte plate.
Lisya N.January 12, 2015Best Turkish food I've had so far in SF (and I'm Turkish ;). Get the lahmacun, it's really really good!! Manti is yummy as well.
Dilek UnarJuly 7, 2016Tried menemen, cheese and sucuk pide and rice pudding (sutlac in Turkish). All are amazing. The best sutlac ever!!!- Try the Chef's Meze Sampler - Wonderful variety of appetizers. Favorites were the smoky baba ganoush, dolmas, and tzaziki sauce. Plenty for three people to share.
- In case you didn't know (and I did not) the pides are a bit like pizzas, and the gozlemes are like quesadillas... So far everything I've tried has been quite good.
- Try the Lamb And Beef Doner - Get it with the housemade pide bread and hot sauce. It's almost like you're in Germany! Only thing missing is the cheese.
Turan YurdakulDecember 4, 2014Beyti is really good. If you want to try Turkish foods in San Francisco, this place is a must!
Mike W.April 27, 2013Have the rice pudding for dessert or take it home with you. It's sooooooo good!!!- Get the lentil soup, not only because the soup is great, but you can eat more of that amazing bread they make here daily.
Ashley PFebruary 1, 2013The nicest people. Everything tastes like pizza, in the best way possible. Yes to hummus, pide, & iskender!
Sarah CallMay 11, 2010I've never been disappointed here. I usually get the lahmacun as an appetizer and split either the 34 or 40 plus the 57 with Tom. Make sure to watch the Turkish soap opera on the tv over the door.- Try the Pide - This housemade pide bread is dangerously delicious. I could fill up on a whole basket.
Try the Chicken Beyti - Wonderful herbs and spices, delicious tomato sauce.
Jenny LoMay 15, 2011Yummy bread comes with the lentil soup. The bread is bouncy and soft. Best bread I ever had- Trent LockeSeptember 24, 2011Get the Beyti (#56) and oven baked rice pudding. You will die (in a good way)
- Try the Pistachio Walnut Baklava - Delicious, sweet #dessert
