Mediterranean Restaurants near San Bruno

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

“Delicious vegan options!😋“

“Only had the pizza, wings, beef lamb wrap and fries so far the few times I was at Tanforan. Fries were decent, wings were good (not dry), pizza was great (love thin crust), and the meat in the wrap was good, not dry and the wrap was very filling and wrapped tight. Overall I’ll give 5/5, and the staff was very nice as well. Will come back again if I gotta pick up another game or watch movie“

“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.“

“Charming, elegant, delicious!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Their tilapia fillet is excellent. Gyros is good. Best baklava. Staff are friendly, cordial, polite and professional. As soon as we walked in, they recognized us.“

“Very Nice staff and very clean kitchen and they always treat ME LIKE FAMILY WHEN I COME IN. I recommend this place and its a great addition to our community. Love Teena“

“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.“

“Dined solo for work trip.

Decor was cute, BUT the window was open because it was super warm and there were a bunch of mosquitos. Made the dinner not so comfortable.

Server was not attentive, so no bad oe good review there.

Food: was eh. My falafel tasted a bit like burnt oil for my taste. BREAD was soo delicious because it was warm. Hummus was decent. Had to order a sidw of rice and it was the best thing I ate. The lemonade was fresh squeezed but toooo sweet.“

“Everything was deliciously good!“

“Our first time eating at this restaurant.
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.“

“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.“

“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)“

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

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“ONE word "EXCELLENT". Great menu, love the murals, quick service, clean and they even serve beer and wine. parking is tricky so have patience. Garlic Fries, Hummus, Combo Gyro Plate!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Loved the decor and the vibe，great place to hang out with friends.The food was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on.If you're in the area, this place is a must-try!“

“Outstanding on the food, just wow just amazing I give this place four stars. From the friendly service to the outstanding food. Great all around..!!!!“

“I tried their falafel sandwich (wrap) and it was the best. My mom and friends tried both their chicken and beef shawarma and said they were so good.

My friends didn't like their tabula though and we were a little concerned about the cleanliness of the place.

Vegetarian options: Their falafel wrap is very tasty ?“

“Super friendly staff. This is me and my dates go to spot. We order food and hookah.

This is definitely a place u take ur date to.

If u have a girls night out, this is the place. Many times we been there, there's been those.

The staff is very patient knowledgeable. "Patient" is very important bcuz many of us aren't familiar with the food or culture. But there hasn't been any problems with anyone or food or hookah.

My date always asks to go here and I never turn her down.

Also, their hookah is decently priced. The same as other places i go to, to hookah.

If I come alone, my date considers it "cheating." ?

Food is decently priced. We were surprised but glad. I'm also glad it's a one stop spot. As in, we don't have to go to another place to eat then come to hookah.“

“We ordered the house combo and it was very tasty. It came with 4 meats(chicken,beef,gyro ,koftedes). All of the meat was juicy,tender and well seasoned. The rice. was fluffy ans delicious. The mixed green salad had tomatoes amd cucumber and was topped with a pickled cabbage and dressed to perfection. I only had a small bite of the pita because rhe meal was so filling. I can't wait to try the baklava we ordered. What a great find. I will definitely be going back to this restaurant.“

“Where do I start? First, I didn’t take pictures of the food because I already ate it 😅. The place (family market) is a nice corner store that sells everything from liquor to groceries with a kitchen attached (The big baba)! We tried their Philly cheese steak and it’s super tasty and filling! We tried the kofta plate and the chicken shawarma plate. The meats are great and the side fries are super tasty and crispy! Garlic fries is a bomb! Prices are fair, food is delicious, and quantities are big. Highly recommended! Will be back!“

“Consistently delicious for decades“

“Very clean inside, friendly staff and comfortable seating. (Outdoor as well) The food was fresh and perfectly prepared. We really enjoyed our appetizer and dinner plate that we shared. It was so nice out and the windows were open. Just a lovely, relaxing dinner without spending tons of money.“

“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!“

“Awesome new vendor in the kiosk that used to be Bi-Rite in the Civic Center Plaza (pre-pandemic). I've had 4 things here (napolitano, caprese and veggie sandwiches and beet salad) and they've all been fresh and delicious with a generous serving. The bread they use is soft and yummy, not too "bready" with a good bread:fillings ratio. My main critique is the pricing, which -- while in line with SF prices -- isn't going to be accessible to most of the local residents of the TL/SOMA. The gelato pricing starts at $5.99. With a playground right behind the kiosk, it would be nice if the prices were lower so a family of 4 wouldn't have to pay almost $25 to get ice cream on a nice day.“

“Consistently one of my favorite spots. The service is always outstanding - attentive, efficient, and welcoming. The food is delicious; high quality, generous quantity, beautiful presentation. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, though it can get a bit loud.“

“First time! Will definitely be back!!“

“Awesome food and very friendly service! Love the location and big windows as well.“

“Wonderful food! Great service. We can’t stay away.“

“Absolutely delicious!!!! It was very hard to find parking near the spot.
I ordered the Shish taook and my date ordered the kofta. Both of our meals were delicious, juicy, flavorful! We also got the baba ganouch, very good and smoky.

I recommend this place whole heartedly!“

“great service from the staff , good food , good ambience“

“This was a lovely last minute date spot before a movie! We were able to get seating right away, and the service was spectacular. We ordered two of the pasta dishes and a glass of wine - all of it exceeded our expectations, and we were disappointed to have to rush out of there so quickly to catch the movie. It also seems like a great spot to go with a group - plenty of seating and no wait. The owner was lovely, we look forward to going back soon to explore more of their wine menu!“

“First place he hit up, Gyro Express..it did not disappoint and it had brunch on a Friday and and bottomless!!“

“Great tasting food from the holy land. This would be my second time reviewing this restaurant a 5- star. Nothing comes closer to my mother’s cooking than this place. They serve some authentic Palestinian dishes, even good mansaf which inshallah hard to find at other places. Definitely the place to go if you’re thinking Palestine. Love the patio expansion and art work on display.“

“Oh my goodness. Such a gem in the rough. Amazing food in the middle of an industrial area. I'm an old fat white guy, and the meal defeated me. For the first time in a long time, I needed a doggy bag. The Shawarma were delicious as were the pickled veggies and cole slaw. The Arabic coffee was to die for. So rich and thick!“

“Great wine, food and atmosphere. One salad is more than enough for two people. We got the Retsina wine which was off the hook, soft, velvety and delicious. We got the soup which was reminiscent of Tom Kha in a way and also delicious. Greek fries and lamb salad were also made just right and the food was brought out so quickly. The location is nice and romantic in a way. My wife and I enjoyed the experience very much. Thank you Souvla!“

“Great tasty food. Great atmosphere. Highly recommended- Taste Of Persia For Two 😋😋😋 Skewer of barg, skewer of joojeh, skewer koobideh & skewer of vegetables served with two basmati rice plates.“

“A gem of a restaurant, this will be you go to favorite !“
