Best falafel I've had in San Francisco, get the vegetarian plate with an extra side of falafel
Recently moved a couple of doors down and expanded. Nice back patio area! The platters are superior to the wraps, BTW. Pitas are $1 a pop now, but you still get complimentary olives & pickles.
Benjy WeinbergerAugust 18, 2014Pro tip: they'll sell you a bag of 5 pitas for $5, and they're better than the hard flat ones you get at grocery stores (although still not as thick and fluffy as they should be).
GusMarch 24, 2019Stuffed falafel is delicious! Combine with mossabaka and a carrot juice! The outside patio with the water fountains is very relaxing!
- Sandra CifoMarch 24, 2019Great Mossabaka, stuffed falafel and chicken !!!! This and Tahini restaurant are my top choices in the city. Great service too!!
Cherrie CJanuary 19, 2012Portions are huge, def recommend sharing. Shish Kabab lamb was delicious. Hummus with shawerma dish-- lamb was a bit dry. Everything is very filling! The Warbat for dessert is gooood.
Mona SJanuary 25, 2014Yum - got the Qudsiyah (hummus with foul) and combo plate (Shish tawouk and kebab were great, the lamb a bit too tough)
Tobias SchmidtMay 17, 2017Decent but by no means exceptional Levantine food. Try the mossabaka (hummus mixed with whole chickpeas)- Get the half & half if you can't decide between rice and hummus!
SashaOctober 12, 2013Great legit middle eastern food. Now my favorite in SF. Very nice staff. Falafel wrap is so fresh.
Joshua NguyenJanuary 10, 2012Bright mezzes and all the staples like lamb kebaps - they're huge portions and a great South Mission joint for those foggy nights.
Jewely HoxieFebruary 22, 2013Don't forget to snap a pic in front of the famous camel painting! Also super dank food at a good price, love this place!
Feta with meat is what you should order. Has pieces of pita in the hummus. What I always get when I come.- Benjy WeinbergerAugust 18, 2014Don't get the wraps, you can't get decent lavash in SF and they're no exception. Plus, the other dishes come with some pretty decent pita bread.
The Bold ItalicMarch 15, 2011If you want to extra impress, order the Mossabaha, a chunky, spicy hummus that's topped with olive oil and served with house-made bread. Read more
shish taouk is my favorite - and they have the best humous outside the middle east.
Jess HMarch 21, 2009Order a dozen falafel balls, baba ghanoush, and hummus to go. Take it home and make your own awesome falafel sandwiches.
Ugur KanerJuly 4, 2017Rather decent Middle Eastern food. Lentil soup is good. Service is in the slower side.
Rachel RebeccaOctober 8, 2016The food was actually OK here, but what I did not appreciate was the discrimination that went on here. When I went back for a second time, they refused me entrance.
The Hummus is usually exceptional but it could vary with age. For best results early lunch will do
angela hayesFebruary 24, 2010You want a taste of the middle east without hopping on a plane? Come here, authentic and taste just like home!
