Best Mediterranean Food in San Francisco

I found my new favorite wine bar and bistro! We came in on a Friday night around 7:30pm, with no reservation, and after waiting 10 minutes, we were able to be seated at the bar (even got some champagne while we waited). It’s small and cozy, so I definitely recommend a reservation on weekends. The owner was actually working the bar, and we sat next to his wife! They were lovely. The server, Idris, was so funny and so knowledgeable about wine and food. My favorites were the oktapodaki, the muhammara dip, and the kasharli beyti. All the food was really good! This is the definition of a locally owned business. It feels so cozy and full of community and good vibes. Excited to come back! They also said they plan to start a happy hour menu this week!

Totally unassuming restaurant with great food. We ordered mixed meze platter and the lamb. The food came out really fast and the servers were super friendly. The meze platter was really delicious. Possibly one of the best I had. I loved the dimmed light and sort of rustic interiors. We made a reservation for Friday 7:30. I recommend to do so, if you wish to dine at peak time on Fridays and Saturdays.

Cute, cozy, and delicious Mediterranean restaurant on Polk! The food and service were top notch. Our water glasses were always full, tables wiped down between courses, and friendly service. The mixed meze platter is my favorite to start with, you get a little bit of everything! I’m a sucker for fries and their fries are sooo good, I don’t suggest sharing! lol The chicken thigh skewer and beyti are my favorite entrees! Highly recommend for girls night or date night! There’s also bar seating if you need to pop in and grab a bite to eat alone.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service. I would especially like to mention our waiter Baiysh, he was very friendly and attentive.
