Best Mediterranenan food in SF! If you\\\'re looking for a tasty shawerma, falafel, or kabab, they have it all. I\\\'ve been going here for more than three years and the food and service is always on point. Highly recommend!

The shawarma here is the best in the city! Lamb and chicken are both very flavorful and carefully cooked. If you prefer wraps not cut from the shawarma they have lamb, chicken, and kefta which is just as good. The kefta especially has a very distinct flavor that blends lamb and beef meat with spices for a juicy, delicious mouthful! If you do not eat meat there are vegetarian options as well, there is the falafel wrap or mediterranean plate. The falafels alone are worth it to stop by and try. For a few dollars, you can taste the fresh-made right out of the oil delights. Try with tahini to amp the flavor or hot sauce if you can handle the heat! By far the best tasting mediterranean food around. Each time I come I try something different and fall in love with the food again. There is no seating currently, but takeout or ordering online for delivery is always an option to enjoy one of the must-eat foods in San Francisco at home with your family.

This is hands down easily the best shawarma and falafel I've ever had. Probably the best middle eastern food. Their kefta, lamb, and chicken kabab Are all so delicious it's really hard for me to pick what I should eat. I would recommend getting the lamb shawarma and adding some feta cheese and potatoes to it. Super good. The other comment above makes no sense you can't give a review to a restaurant if you have never tried it smh

Before you come here please note this is mainly for to go. They do have a few bar stools inside and two small tables outside. Went there after checking their online menu (which looked very good) but left with out dining in due to above reason. Can\'t comment about the food. Would only come again when in the hurry and needed food to go.
