The food was mediocre at best. For the prices, it could’ve been SO much better. The service was terrible! The person who was working our table was curt and abrasive. He reminded us to not eat anywhere near the menus at least 3-4 times, like we were kids in kindergarten. Our wines came out 20 mins after we ordered them, after all our appetizers were almost done (which were ordered together with the wine). The waiter brought out our check without asking us for desserts and when we asked for the desserts menu, he blamed us for asking him for the check, which we hadn’t. I’m never going back.

My order was wrong but I didn’t have time to wait for them to fix it during my lunch meeting (I ordered the lamb plate with rice but I got a shawarma sandwich instead). I didn’t love the flavor of what I got and I thought it was word that the sandwich was on an sesame seed bun vs. a pita or naan or gyro type bread. The bread got soggy and was very messy to eat. The salad was very heavily dressed as well. The soda was $5 and the refill was $5. Overall the cost/value didn’t match

Overall, it was good but one of our dishes Tahdig rice was not warm. Since it was rice dishes, the warm was the key factor so I was disappointed on it. Grilled chicken kebab was very good. We also have appetizers Halloumi cheese and Burratini both are good.

We sat outside on a beautiful early "summer" evening, and it was not too noisy, the waiter was efficient and friendly, and the food was tasty and of sufficient abundance.

We had a 9PM reservation but I wasn’t made aware that the kitchen closes at 9:15 until I sat down. So that kind of rushed us to order. Food was great and so was the wine. Just hoped we could have gotten the Baklava if I ordered it with the drinks and starters itself rather than hearing they ran out of those at the end of the meal.

Absolutely outstanding! The service is incredible. The whole staff is totally on the ball with great attitudes and morale. The setting/ambiance is attractive, comfortable, and totally pleasant. (We were outside.) And the food is amazing! EVERYthing we had was outstanding -- Moroccan "cigars," spicy beef dumplings, lamb skewer, chicken kabob, and baklava. Nice wine list, too. This was our second time and we'll be back every time we come to San Francisco. If you're considering dining there, do it!

We loved the ambiance and the service! All of the food was fantastic and flavorful, especially the chicken dish. However, the fish option was very bland and disappointing. Cocktails were awesome! Overall, dined here twice and both times had positive experiences.

I have a few mixed feelings about this place. We made reservations for 830p and received a text at 8p asking for confirmation that we were on the way. I confirmed and we got there about 5 minutes early. We were not seated until after 9p. HOWEVER, the manager that night was very accommodating and nice and apologetic. He comped the drinks we got while waiting at the bar. It was very busy and most tables were filled. Once we got seated, I ordered the half rack of lamb and it was AWESOME. Very favorable and just the right texture. My boyfriend ordered the steak and beef dumplings. Those were great as well. He ordered some to go and they forgot about the order and ended up not charging for those as well. All in all, the food was great, somewhat expensive, and with the exception of our long wait even after making reservations, I'd still definitely recommend this spot!
