50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Daly City

“I usually place takeout orders by calling them. This time, I dined in, and once again, the food was incredible. I also ordered a tea pot and the kunefe dessert. They came by a couple of times to ask if I wanted more tea or if I needed anything else, like extra sauce or bread. That was super thoughtful of them. I love Mediterranean food, but this place gives me a homemade food feeling, which makes me love it even more. They have some cute pictures on the walls featuring Turkey and Turkish food, which makes the place feel very authentic.“

“I just enjoy their food. Friends and I would’ve dined in but unfortunately not enough seething for larger group. The cashier was so sweet and helpful. I think she is new, not seen her before.

Parking: Lots of parking available as they are located in a mall strip“

“Authentic Tunisian restaurant. Get some grilled octopus or a "bricka au thon", a lamb tagine or a vegetarian Kromb, some eggplants with harissa on the side with their delicious homemade bread, and a baklava to conclude this culinary trip to North Africa. And don't forget to try their national drink, a date spirit called Boukha.“

“Welcome to heaven on earth. SF local and either best resturant I've ever been at or tied for first with Han Il Kwan II. Ridiculous quality and exceptional taste. Highly reccomend.“

“Phenomenal experience! 🍷 🍽️ Wonderful food and cocktails! A must try while in the Presidio area!“

“Calamari was the best! Go and get it“

“Charming, elegant, delicious!“

“Exceptional food, service and hospitality dining experience!
We had a corporate dinner hosted at the ground floor, which can be satisfied partly of 18. There is an upper floor with buyout or minimum expense options, giving more private and party or event if needed.
Menu options are group-diner. 3-4 courses family-style shared for appetizers (3 dishes), and OYW entree and dessert. Vegetarian is also available.
Fine food and fresh ingredients for the dinner overall. I am very impressed by meat cooking-level remained in perfect condition for a multiple orders at the same time for our party ( 7-10 orders of lamb chops). The overall serving pace is running smoothly and well timing management. All crews are friendly and very happy to help.
Restroom condition is clean (all genders). A luxurious brand amenity “Aesop” is applied.“

“The best food i have ever have. The Kurdish guy was very very very extra very kind. When he knew that I am from Kuwait and spoke Arabic, he invited me to have tea and kunafa with ice cream and stuffed with saffron. The kunafa was very delicious. I really recommend this restaurant.“

“I love the taste of the food. Organic beef kebab rice bowl was die for it! Must try“

“The food was excellent, the atmosphere is casual with lots of seating and nice decor. I got the mixed Gyro plate with chicken and beef. The meat is flavorful and the salad is fresh. Comes with fresh pita, hummus and paprika sauce, with hot sauce at the table. The servers gave us a free slice of baklava drenched in honey and pistachios, and hot tea. Would eat here again!“

“Great tasting authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. Owners from Gaza Strip originally.“

“What an amazing place. True quality, hospitality, and just an amazing taste.

Went to explore, 1000% Will be going back next week for another lunch.

Thank you guys at Ararat for a fantastic meal and a great half hour I spent there.“

“Fabulous food and service. We got a variety of kebab platters and all were perfectly cooked and very delicious. The owner was super sweet and was accommodating to the dietary restrictions our group had. 1000% will be coming back in the future.“

“Excellent food as usual. The service was quite slow, especially for lunch and I noted the same for multiple tables around me. Additionally, the prices had really gone up since my last visit. Unclear why. It bugs me that they nail guests for 6% SF mandate — much higher than most restaurants. I don't know why health insurance for Barcha would be far higher than other restaurants.“

“I had lunch here on a Sunday, shortly after they opened up. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. I had hummus and chicken kabobs. The tabouleh was very good with lavash. The hummus was creamy and thick. The kabobs were tender, and served with delicious vegetables and rice. The hot sauce added a nice tang without too much heat. The interior is charming and has a sense of bright, dreamy relaxation. I’ll definitely be back.“

“everything about the restaurant, from the heated outdoor dining, people who work there, the food so deliciously great especially the one that prepares and cook it, THE CHEFS, amazingly incredible they are and not so pricey above all.“

“This is a must to visit restaurant for Mediterranean and Israeli food lovers. The humus of all types, eggplant dishes, shakshukas, and the rest of the dishes were tasty, fresh, and quickly served. Great service and authentic feel. Loved it.“

“Very delicious food. Good vibes. Friendly staff. The only negative part is that the Kabob smell didn’t go with the coffee shop vibe. It’s more felt like restaurant.
We got the burrito breakfast and the Adana Alavion role. I like that non of them were salty. But the Adana kabob was a bit dray, I like it to be more juicy.“

“I ordered the Salmon plater it was fresh, the rice was so good and instead of hummus I ordered salad which was also great, and the thin bread omg it was amazing everything was delicious. The price it's right loved it!! I just started working around the area so I had a great experience it clean and smelled clean.“

“Everything was deliciously good!“

“Great food, service & outdoor seating!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Lokanta, and I must say, it was an incredible experience! The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we felt welcome and well taken care of. The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, making it a perfect spot for a memorable meal.

If you’re looking for amazing food and excellent service, I highly recommend Lokanta. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu!“

The Cashier welcomed us in and waited patiently for us to order. He answered our questions regarding food on the menu. The waiter brought our food came came to us quickly. No wait time. Very friendly and clean environment.“

“Came here yesterday for iftar to break our fast, they gave us some dates to start with water, and made sure our food would be ready at iftar time. They are family owned, friendly people and delicious red lentil soup.

Would come again :)

Vegetarian options: Red lentil soup (shorba)“

“Exceptional flavors and ingredient combinations. Beautiful atmosphere, great staff, and excellent prices. I am only in San Francisco for 4 days and I might come back a second time because the food was so great. Well worth the visit!!!!!“

“We got a combo doner (gyro) wrap. I am picky about doner, it is very hard for me to like if it is not really good. But this doner was amazing! Juicy, well cooked, tasty. No additional sauce in the wrap, just like the real Turkish doner! I highly recommend this place. And I’ll definitely try the other meal options in the future.“

“Everything looks just amazing. Truly Mediterranean came highly recommended!“

“I ordered via grubhub so can't comment on service or atmosphere. But the food was 10/10. I got the hummus, muhammra, falafel. Hummus and Muhammra came with Bite sized pitas. I also got their hot sauce and it was fire!! Loved everything, great for vegetarians too!!“

“This restaurant is close to the Milbrae Caltrain and Bart stations and the San Francisco International airport. It's an excellent choice for having food when dropping or waiting to pick up someone at the airport. The food is fresh and delicious There are good vegetarian choices.“

“Loved it so much and loved it so much and loved it over and over“

“Kosher food generally requires some kind of rating buffer due to scarcity, but Hummus Bodega needs no such help. Absolutely amazing food, cannot recommend more highly. Amazing variety of dishes and high quality food at every step. Pita was amazing and fresh, hummus smoother than whipped cream, fries fresh and crisp. Shawarma, schnitzel, and fried cauliflower were all great as well. The staff is also incredibly patient, and artfully dealt with a loud individual who was demanding sabich but couldn't find it named on the menu.“

“We travelled from Maryland to experience San Francisco, found this local restaurant within walking distance of our hotel, and decided to give it a try. It was well worth it! The staff was accommodating, attentive and very friendly. The food was exceptional! If you haven’t tried Mediterranean cuisine or love it, this is the place for you!“

“Heathly food. The Shawarma wrap it's my favorite. I love it!!!“

“Super yummy hummus plates, falafel, kebabs and salads. Found this gem while on a walk in China town. Not easy to find, but once you know where to find it you will come back again and again. Sooooo good.“

“This restaurant was an absolute find. Conveniently located next to the Hyatt hotel and the Ferry building, it’s a great stop for a delightful dinner. The menu has some delicious finds and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. This is a very romantic place for date night or a nice place to have dinner with some friends“

“I’d been trying to find a place that sold Dubai chocolate bars in San Francisco and finally found it at Cafe Elena! Their Dubai chocolate bar is awesome! Dark chocolate, pistachio filling, not too sweet. Family-owned business, wife makes the chocolate bars, super friendly owner.“

“I have to give a huge shoutout to our server, Kubra. From the moment we sat down, she was attentive, friendly, and professional. Kubra made excellent recommendations from the menu, and she truly knew the dishes inside and out, which helped us make great choices. She was consistently checking in to make sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive, and her timing was impeccable throughout the meal. It felt like she genuinely cared about our dining experience. Kubra’s warm and welcoming demeanor made our visit so enjoyable, and her dedication to service is a credit to the restaurant. Highly recommend requesting Kubra if you want an exceptional dining experience!"“

“I had the lamb/beef gyro plate, which came with rice, salad and pita and I’m writing this because I’m very well versed in Mediterranean food, and this is some truly top notch food. White rice can be bland but this one was flavorful, the salad was well seasoned, as was the meat and the pita was the absolute best I’ve had in years. Delicious.“

“Just picked up some hummus, pita, and a Middle Eastern taco… delicious! I highly recommend this place, the people are friendly, and the dining area is perfect:)
Parking is at a premium, but so it goes everywhere in SF.
I uploaded an empty plate because that’s how good it was😋“

“I cannot say enough great things about Café Mystique. The food is top quality, and the service is exemplary. Sam, Narmela, Azat, and all of the staff consistently go above and beyond to ensure that customers have a fabulous experience! I have tried almost every item on the menu, and I have no negative comments about any item! Visit the restaurant; will not be sorry!“

“I lived in the Middle East and what Mezze and Mooore offers is of the same high standard as the best restaurants in Beirut.“

“Had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service was top. A special thanks to Salih for being so attentive and friendly—your excellent service made our visit even better! Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!"
Thank you.“

“Perfect spot for a quick lunch. I first tried the food from Sajj in San Mateo. It was a "regular" lunch place for many at my office. Now that I occasionally work in SF, I was please to find a Sajj just a block away. Love that the food is fresh and bonus that it is full of flavor. I take advantage of ordering ahead and picking up on my schedule.“

“Amazing food. Fresh, flavorful and healthy. Ordered for the first time this evening g but it won’t be my last!“

“Great food lovely location“

“Note that the negative reviews are from fanatical bicycle rights nazis. First they destroy our streets, then they attack local businesses. I was here on a holiday weekend, and cars were backed up for miles. A bike occasionally passed. There’s no way a delivery person can pick up an order here. And if you do find a parking spot, good luck getting anywhere once you need to leave.“
