Amazing hummus and hands down the best falafel I’ve ever had! Perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The portions are generous, and one plate could easily feed two people.
The downside is the service. The restaurant gets incredibly busy, with long wait times, and you can definitely feel the pressure to leave as soon as you finish eating. I brought a birthday cake to celebrate, but they wouldn’t let us enjoy it there because they were so busy.

Loved the food. Salad that came with falafel was perfectly dressed. Hummus and baba ganouj were creamy and nicely seasoned. Figs with cream was outstanding. Service was minimal, and whole restaurant was quite noisy.
Hot in the sun but great food maybe my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in sf

Beit Rima is a cozy Arabic comfort food restaurant in Cole Valley. The food is light, filling, clean, healthy, and delicious. The mezze platter is a popular choice, and the halloumi, chicken kebab, and kofta are all tasty options. Customers can order mains a la carte for mix and match. The Chicken Shish plate is well seasoned and tender, served with pickles, rice, and hummus. The Beef Kabob plate is large but slightly dry. The restaurant offers a variety of Palestinian dishes, including Musakhan and Shakshuka. The Musakhan features poached chicken and delicious pita with pine nuts. The Shakshuka is a standout, with a perfectly runny yolk. The marinated chicken and hummus are also well liked, and the figs and cheese dessert is highly recommended.
The service is friendly and the portions are generous, often leaving customers satisfied and full. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, with the Carl Street location providing easier parking and a cozy, homely vibe. While wait times can be long, especially on weekends, Beit Rima remains a favorite for its consistently good food and unique Palestinian touches, such as the specialty cola. It is a nice place to spend time and enjoy good food, making it worth a visit for those looking for something different in SF.
