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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“As a girl moving to San Francisco, I can confidently say that this restaurant has become my regular spot! When I used to visit my sister who lives in the bay area, we came to this place and instantly fell in love. It felt like a taste of back home with the authentic spices and lively ambience. The food was delicious, extremely fresh and well seasoned. Everything came out piping hot and was clearly made with fresh ingredients. That’s hard to find nowadays. We ordered just about everything popular on the menu and I definitely recommend the sultani… the char on the meat is truly one of a kind. I also recommend the manti. It’s so unique but the tarte yogurt mixed with the tomato sauce just works. The service was also impeccable. Our waiter, Hussein, was so helpful and took great care of us during our stay. We didn’t want to leave! It was such a beautiful stay and I will definitely be returning for the coming years that I will live in SF!“

“Food was really good. I went in expecting typical Mediterranean wraps kind of food. But they really took it to the next level. Had a beef kabob wrap that was terrific. The wrap was moist and a bit chewy like a great burrito. The meat was very juicy and soft. Even the veggies inside the wrap were notably yummy. Hummus was fantastic too. Definitely worth a visit.“

“Absolutely amazing food and service! The hummus was on point, creamy with tender and juicy steak and fries. The kunafa was delicious; not too sweet or overly cheesy with right amount of ice cream. The servers all had smiles in their face and absolutely respected everyone. The environment was clean and the food was piping hot.“

“An enchanting and magical place.“

“Some restaurants serve you dinner; this one gives you a little piece of Greece to take home.
The authentic Greek flavors were wonderful, but what stayed with us most was the feeling around the table—the warmth, the thoughtful attention, and the little surprises that arrived when we least expected them. A cup of Turkish tea and baklava may seem like a small gesture, yet it made the evening feel personal, as though someone genuinely cared that we were there.
We arrived as first-time guests and left already planning our return. This is the kind of restaurant people come back to not only for the food, but for the way it makes them feel. Burlingame is truly lucky to have a Greek restaurant like this!❤“

“Absolutely frickin’ amazing. The portions were phenomenal, especially for the price. The kebobs were juicy as hell. The rice buttery, the salad juicy, and the hummus creamy. I will 100000% be coming back here. This is the best bang for your buck in SF when looking for mediterranean food. All y’all other places better be taking notes. And the staff is friendly and get the job done.

I forgot a photo because the food was so delicious i couldn’t stop to take one.“

“Everything was exquisite. It was a pleasure to be seated here. The lamb shish kabob filled me up. The only constructive criticism I will say is that the water is from tap. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but someone has to! Besides that I will be happy to return and I strongly recommend this place! Ali was very kind as well as accommodating!“

“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.“

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!“

“Good food it was a plate half chicken and half lamb with rice and salad also hummus. And dessert was kunafah , it was my first time tasting it and it was good much better than baqlava. Good hospitality and very clean environment. Definitely recommend. Thanks“

“This place is a gem in SSF! We come here regularly about 2-3 times a month for the last 4 years because we love it so much! The ingredients are always fresh and great quality. The owner John is super friendly and hospitable as well as Yakup who regularly works there too. They also make homemade Turkish Delight that’s the best we’ve had. Please give this place a try and you will love it too!“

“This is the most beautiful brunch spot in Bay Area. The food was impeccable. I spoke with the owner and chef and learned that he had a Michelin guide background and also everything at the restaurant Is made in house. The dessert was absolutely out of this world and if you live in Bay Area, this is a place you have to try.“

“Staying loyal to a restaurant for 15 years speaks volumes about both the incredible quality of the food and the exceptional hospitality.It is rare to find a place where the owner, Ismaiel, makes you feel genuinely welcomed every single time you walk through the door. Warm hospitality like that turns a great meal into an unforgettable dining tradition.“

“Fast, fresh and consistently good. I've never had a bad meal here“

“Old Jerusalem is one of my favorite restaurants for Middle Eastern food on San Francisco’s Mission St. I ordered the Mansaf last time and it was amazing, so I had to come back and order the Mousakhan this time. Dunya was amazing host again and very knowledgeable of the menu and dishes. The complimentary beets and olives were a nice little appetizer while the food gets prepared. The pita with the side sauces were also a great refresher. I ordered the coffee this time and it was a unique flavor that I enjoyed. The Mousakhan dish was a feast! Easily sharable but I devoured it. The chicken was well seasoned and tender. I liked how it was served over a pita bread which soaked in the flavor. Eating with hands is the best for this meal and the whole experience was exceptional. I was too full for dessert but I will be back for the kunafa!“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Limoncello is a great spot in SF for a delicious, satisfying sandwich. The bread is fresh, the ingredients are flavorful, and every bite has a perfect balance of textures and savory goodness. Portions are generous, making it an easy choice for a quick lunch or casual meal. Friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere round out the experience. Definitely recommend!“

“Little Joey Skidmark lives just a half block away from Big Baba in that little funky yellow house, so when he asked me for a ride home from pier 3 I said as long as you sit on your jacket and keep the window down, because I don't want a stained seat in my truck. So he got a ride home, and I got to enjoy the world famous grilled chicken sandwich from Big Baba Eats! I got it without the grilling, and it was Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Consistently delicious for decades“

“There is no shortage of Mediterranean restaurants in the Bay Area. This is the only one to which I have paid three visits in one month.

The spanakopita has sesame seeds on it. This is new and delightful for me.

And oh my goodness, do you get a lot of food for your price point.

I couldn’t even wait to take photos for my review, I just started eating this thing as soon as I got home.“

“First time! Will definitely be back!!“

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

“After climbing steep hills in search of a different place that was closed, we were so happy to find Mesopotamia Kitchen! Not only was the food delicious, the service was top-notch! My daughter and I were treated with such kindness. Thank you for a wonderful experience!“

“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..!!!!“

“Came here on Saturday 7/26, and the service was so friendly I had to review! Both register and kitchen staff were friendly and attentive. They were also proactive for service opportunities. Definitely the best Nick the Greek I’ve ever been to. And extremely clean bathroom!“
