Ararat Kebab & Gyros

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.

Ararat Kebab & Gyros is absolutely fantastic! This place serves some of the best Mediterranean food in the city.

The lentil soup was amazing – rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. It’s the kind of soup that warms you from the inside out.

But the real star of the show was the Iskender kebab plate. Tender, juicy meat with incredible flavor, served over fresh bread with that classic tomato sauce and yogurt. Every component was on point.

The portions are generous, the quality is outstanding, and the prices are more than fair.

If you’re craving authentic kebab, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Many Turkish places in the Bay don’t offer my favourite Turkish food — Iskander Kebab Plate — but Ararat Kebab & Gyros does offer and they do it perfectly. Friendly service , decent price, and really great quality food. For me it’s the best Turkish spot in the city.

Ararat Restaurant in San Francisco is absolutely amazing! The food is incredibly tasty, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. Every dish we tried was perfectly seasoned and beautifully prepared. You can really feel the love and care put into the food. This is one of the best places in SF for delicious, high-quality meals. We will definitely be coming back!” 😊

This place is truly a DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH. From the moment I walked in, I had a very pleasant and comforting experience. The food was delicious! I ordered the beef döner over rice, and both the portion size and food quality were outstanding.

After the meal, they even offered complimentary tea, which was a really nice touch. The young gentleman at the register, who also served my food was super nice and friendly, accommodating, and provided excellent customer service, all with a smile the entire time.

I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back.

A rare place in San Francisco where you can find truly delicious halal food.
I really liked the meat — it was flavorful and perfectly cooked.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for quality halal options in the city.

I like this place but counter guy was confused me with lahmadju that I can't get one but two at least. I don't know what is wrong.

Food is good
Service is ok

I hate that this amazing spot is in the worst spot of the tenderloin lol. I called ahead for pickup and thieves were already trying to take my scooter. 😂

Once I got home the food was amazing. The rice pudding had incredible vanilla flavor. The kebab serving was perfect and delicious.
