50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Daly City

“The food was nicely, prepared and presented. For the most part, it was quite delicious. I will make one suggestion. The salmon was overcooked by about a minute. That minute makes a difference between a succulent piece of salmon and a slightly dry piece of salmon. If the chef worked on that, he would have a perfect plate, as the rice and salad were very tasty. As far as the atmosphere is concerned, it’s not very fancy. Do not try to sit on the bolstered seats unless you are extremely high waisted. Food will be a chest level, and not too easily consumed.“

“I’ve tried a lot of hookah spots around the Bay Area, but this place really stands out. The atmosphere is chill and comfortable, making it a perfect spot to relax and hang out. The staff go above and beyond to make sure everything is right, and you can tell they care about the experience.

The food was fresh and flavorful, and the hookah quality was top-tier—smooth, long-lasting, and well-prepared. Everything just felt consistent and well put together.

Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a solid hookah lounge.“

“I love Nick the Greek the food is delicious, i specially love their falafels, and Lamb and Beef gyros. Sometimes I order a couple sides of each of their dishes, love being able to build my own plate.If you are looking for Greek food in the bay Nick the Greek is the place to go.“

“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.“

“Lovely atmosphere and service from the hostess to our servers. Menu is unique yet simple. Great for vegetarians looking for finer menu. Every bite was flavorful and delicious!“

“Calamari was the best! Go and get it“

“Absolutely delicious. Meats perfectly seasoned and juicy, brought me right back to Türkiye. That and the people- two regulars welcomed me in with open arms fo share a table with them. Go for the Ararat kebab plate- it has everything and is plenty food for 2 people. Excellent baklava to top the feast off. Wish I had saved space to try their soup, which just about every table had ordered. Next time.“

“The interior is lovely, and the open kitchen is nice to see. The waiters provided us exceptional service. Between the two of us, we got the lamb carpaccio and guvec for two -- both of which tasted great. That said, since the meal ended up being over $50 per person and we ordered the menu for two, it would’ve been nice to leave feeling a bit more full. Still, it’s a nice upscale restaurant overall with a great atmosphere.“

“My friend and I were visiting CA from Tunisia and stopped here for a taste of home. The chef's dishes are delicious and showcase his unique personal touch on classic recipes. We enjoyed everything we ate, and especially recommend the spicy cauliflower and deviled eggs. The meat in the tagines was incredibly tender and flavorful. As we say in Tunisia, Saha w bishfe! Enjoy!“

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

“Fabulous experience! My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful Valentine's dinner at Presidio Kebab. My wife tried the Yakut red wine from Turkey that was a little sweet and very good. We started with some Greek fries and Baba Ghanosh that were tasty. My wife enjoyed the lentil soup and a Greek Salad. We recommend asking for extra lemon vinaigrette dressing on the side for extra flavor. I had the steak kebab medium and it was prepared perfectly. The service was stellar, friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back:)“

“The best Palestinian/Jordanian/Lebanese food ever! So happy it’s open again in San Bruno 😍“

“This Turkish restaurant is outstanding in all aspects! Our dinner consisted of the Meze Combo, which is an excellent selection of their fabulous appetizers, the Lamb Shish Kebab, with lamb that was cooked to perfection, and the Adana Kebab, which was a fine mixture of lamb and beef in a slightly spicy combination. The waiter was very polite and extremely friendly and welcoming, and very attentive to our needs. We thoroughly appreciated his recommendation of the baklava to compliment the excellent meal we had. It had just the right amount of sweetness and a wonderful blend of walnuts and spices. Due to the meal being so exceptional, we came back the next morning for an outstanding breakfast!!! We had the Menemen (Shaksouka) and the American Breakfast. And finished it off with a bowl of their Sutlac - the creamy rice pudding! Delicious indeed! Great waitstaff at both meals! We highly recommend Zevi Cafe!!!“

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

“great food! period. love it“

“When I saw so many great reviews, I thought it was too good to be true, but after going I can see why the reviews are so positive. The food was delicious and coffee and sweets too. Extremely friendly owner as well. A must go if you are on Union street.“

“Chicken souvlaki is surprisingly really tender for chicken breast meat.

Get that above all else.

Also, I think the classic hummus is better than the harissa hummus. The combo plate was a good value, but wasn’t overly impressed by the gyro meat.“

“The moment I stepped inside the smell of freshly baked bread and grilled meats made me feel like I was back in a traditional kitchen in Turkey and the hospitality here is truly something special. I spent a long time enjoying my dinner because the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming which makes it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal with friends or family. I really loved the mixed grill platter and the cold appetizers were so fresh and flavorful that they reminded me of some of the best meals I have had while traveling. The quality of the ingredients is top notch and you can tell that the chefs take a lot of pride in keeping the recipes authentic and true to their roots. I noticed that the staff are incredibly friendly and they go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need while explaining the different dishes on the menu with a lot of passion. Even though it is a very popular place for locals the service felt very personal and I never felt rushed during the entire evening. It is a fantastic destination if you are looking for real comfort food and the Turkish tea at the end of the meal was the perfect way to finish a great experience. I will definitely be returning here soon because the entire menu looks so delicious and I want to try every single dish they offer.“

“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!

““Pizza is more than just food; it is a universal language of happiness. From the moment its aroma fills the air, it awakens a deep sense of anticipation and comfort. The golden, crispy crust tells a story of perfect balance, while the rich tomato sauce carries a bold yet familiar warmth. Melted cheese flows like a masterpiece, embracing every topping and uniting them in flawless harmony. Each bite is an unforgettable journey — crunchy, soft, savory, and deeply satisfying. Pizza has the power to bring people together, turn ordinary moments into celebrations, and remind us that true joy can be found in the simplest, most delicious pleasures of life.”“

“A great Mediterranean counter service joint with very reasonably priced wraps and plates. Their desserts looked good, but I'll have to make sure to save room for them next time lol.

“Nice local spot with really good food. I usually get the vegetarian Mousaka. It’s filling. I noticed that the lamb kabobs with pomegranate and rice over a bed of yogurt is also very well made. Nice cosy atmosphere for a meal and conversation.“

“Everything was deliciously good!“

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

“Everything i ordered (mansaf, veggie plate, chick shawerma, dolma, tabbouleh) was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. And the aish elsraya was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I’m going back for more. Great service, too.“

“We wanted a quick, healthy lunch. In our group, we had a dietary issue with fatty foods and a severe gluten allergy. The Cafe Elena team were wonderful. All our meals were really good. The lunch area was quiet with ample seating. We would eat there any time we were in the area.“

“This place was amazing. The food was fresh, airy and packed with flavor. The restaurant was open and had many unique tables to sit. The service was fast and we received all of our food in under 10 minutes. I ordered the beef kabob platter and it was great. The beef was very tender, I could pull it apart with my hands and it was very flavorful and paired with everything very well. The side cucumber salad was very aromatic and tangy and paired contrasted well with the rice and bread. I put everything in the pita bread and it was amazing. You could tell everything was made freshly with good ingredients. The pita chips were so good, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Perfect. The staff were kind and served us very fast. This place needs more hype it’s so good.“

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

“How did I not know about this place? I saw it pop up on Uber Eats (new to me) so I ordered the lamb and beef meatballs with rice, lightly pickled beats, tabouli and some included arugula. Faboo! It's very fresh and a very generous portion. The optional hot sauce is not to be skipped if you like a bit of heat.“

“Have been to this place about 8 times in past year.Lovely inside seating nd outdoor seating has amazing view. Menu keeps changing so evry few weeks yoh can taste something new . Menu has enough vegetarian options. Food is always amazing.Mumarrha dip is out of world.“

“We stopped by for happy hour to send off a coworker moving to another job. The food was delicious and varied, from pizza, to Mediterranean mezzes, to Asian nibbles. The cocktails came quickly and were well crafted. My mocktail did taste like a cocktail (and not like watered down fruit juice), which was nice. The patio, where we were seated, offered good views toward the Ferry Building; we were lucky it was a pleasant, sunny day.“

“The food is amazing you should try their flafle. It’s amazing and staff super nice fellas“

“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!“

“We both had lambs ( the Mrs had the kebab with salad and soup and I had the lamb & beef platter). My plate was made special by the dressing , but my wife’s was the better deal as the smokey flavored meat was out of the ballpark sarap!“

Definitely will add this place to our rotation!“
