“Go here just for the amazing halal burgers. Service is as can be expected in a small sit in.
The burgers are worth ignoring the atmosphere.
It is neat clean and hygienic no doubt. Just not a dine in kinda restaurant.
I go often just for the way out delicious burgers“

“First time visiting San Francisco and this restaurant. Very busy for a Friday night. Our waiter, Rahil P., was so nice and helpful in picking out food.

Amazing decor and atmosphere. Very well lit.

We ordered the Desi chicken wings, the mixed platter, and fire fries with chicken. The mixed platter included chicken boti, beef boti, tandoori chicken, and lamb chops. Food was amazing. Very flavorful. Kashmiri chai served on Fridays and Saturdays.

I would highly recommend to anyone visiting San Francisco.“

“The food here is excellent and the staff are incredibly friendly. The line can be long on weekend mornings as a function of the food being so yummy. So be prepared to wait a little. It’s also halal, which is rare among non-vegetarian breakfast items. So that’s a huge plus.“

“اكل حلال اسعار في متناول اليد تعامل قمة في الذوق“

“One of the best kababs I have ever tasted was here. Must go if you like kababs. Their nun rutis were also very good. We stopped by during our short visit in San Francisco. Definitely would go there more if I were local. I did not try other foods than kabab but they all looked and smelled Delicious in the other customers’ table“

“I got Karahi Gosht and it was authentic and flavorful. Serving quantity was decent as well. I live in the South Bay and most places over there don't get this dish right. 5* from me, for the Karahi Gosht and Naan. Service understandably took some time because they make it fresh and piping hot. And I went there in between performances of standup comedy at Cobb's next door.“

“This restaurant food is much more better than other Pakistani Indian restaurants all around the US. Chicken biryani & seekh kabob was so delicious authentic Pakistani flavor specially the Tea which is so so so good like Pakistani famous Pathan’s tea and we never had an experience before this in US. The best thing is they make in front of us so the quality of the food is so fresh and yummy like your own kitchen.“

“Great food lovely location“

“You go to this kind of places for the love of food.... and it does delivers. Its a very sketchy street, not to be alone in the dark. But the food is incredible (had goat curry with garlic naan). Bathroom? dont ask. Higine? Dont know... but flavor... superb“

“The best taste with less spicy!“

“I just had an amazing meal at this Afghan restaurant in San Francisco! I’ve tried a bunch of Afghan spots around the city, and this one totally stole the show. The Tekka and chicken kebob were juicy and packed with flavor—honestly, I couldn’t stop raving about them at the table. Vegetable dish (Palag) was just as tasty as I had back home. I am a bit too picky on baklava but theirs was the best I’ve ever had in the US! So fresh, moist, and not too too sweet. I’m still dreaming about it. The vibe was cozy, and Jayhoon Jan made us feel right at home. If you’re craving Afghan food that’ll blow your mind, you’ve gotta check this place out!“

“We have always been big fans of filling bowls and clean ingredients. We were huge chipotle and cava fan, but haven’t really been going lately. Sajj was so refreshing! The falafels were tasty and really well made. Really crispy on the outside, soft and well cooked on the inside. The toppings were all fresh and well portioned. The best part was the sauces. All flavorful, clean and optional. The lentil soup was also tasty and refreshing. Highly highly recommend!“

“Unbelievable food with such low prices. The zaatar bread was freshly made, the lentil soup was incredible, the dolma were so flavorful, and the mutabbal was my favorite. This is such a humble restaurant with incredible fresh food. I’d go out of my way to go back.“

“Service is wonderful. Price is reasonable in respect of area, quality and current economy. Food tastes is not consistent. in our last visit we found Mongolian beef was salty and lamb was not that great like other days. However we appreciate there excellent service.“

“Great food and good costumer service“

“I ordered some samosas today because I had a final and wanted something quick but warm and comforting and the guy was very nice and it didn't take long and when I sat down and took a bite I was filled with so much love at that moment. it was so good. I don't get why more people don't go here it's amazing this place deserves the worldddd. I've eaten here before and it hits every single time I love this place“

“My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time here celebrating his birthday. We were offered a comped glass of champagne since we were celebrating. The place definitely gives swanky steakhouse but with a more modern twist. I HIGHLY recommend the Pavé Tots with caviar, the steak tartare, the potato puree and the truffle bordelais sauce. You really can't go wrong with any steak you choose. If you're a cutlery or a knife nerd, they let you choose your own steak knife from their eclectic collection of hand made knives. They also have a pianist that plays in the lounge nightly which i think adds to the ambiance. Thank you Vault Steakhouse for a wonderful time and meal! Will definitely be back.“

“Highly recommend! Best tastiest sandwiches in the Bay Area in my opinion. I usually make big orders for work parties. The owner is very friendly and efficient for last minute orders.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarían sándwiches are very tasty.“

“I highly recommend Mashallah Halal if you are looking for quality Lamb Curry✌🏾“

“The food was so delicious! I’m from the LA/ Orange County area and I will be making a trip back here when I return to San Francisco!“

“We never come to The City without a trip to Aicha. Wonderful little spot with fabulous service & delicious food. Highly recommend.“

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

“Chaska Restaurant serves a really nice paneer naan that’s soft, fluffy, and stuffed with flavorful, spiced paneer. The combination of buttery naan and rich paneer makes it a delicious and indulgent treat that pairs perfectly with their curries. A must-try for paneer lovers and anyone looking to elevate their Indian meal!“

“The food was truly incredible - I was blown away by the flavors! The halwa puri, nihari, and pani puri were all standout dishes. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious meal.“

“10/5 Stars – Pronto Pizzeria is a Hidden Gem in San Francisco!

Today for lunch, my coworker and I stopped by Pronto Pizzeria, and from the moment we walked in, I could tell we were in for something special. The first thing that stood out was how incredibly clean and well-organized the place was—everything looked fresh, spotless, and inviting. The menu was clear and easy to navigate, and let me just say… the prices are absolutely unbeatable, especially for San Francisco!

I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak, and let me tell you—this wasn’t just a sandwich... it was an experience. The guy in my photos (I wish I got his name!) was genuinely one of the kindest and most helpful people I’ve ever encountered behind a counter. He walked me through the menu with such care and enthusiasm, you could tell he truly cared about the food and the customer experience. Just great energy all around.

When my sandwich was ready, he handed me the first half, packed the rest up neatly, and asked to see my reaction on the first bite. I took that bite and—no joke—I stood up, spun in a circle, and did a little happy dance. That’s how good it was.

Served on perfectly toasted sourdough, this Philly Cheesesteak was melty, spicy, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable. The cheese pull? Arm-length. The meat was juicy, the spice level was just right (though fair warning: that last bite had some serious heat—so make sure you’re into spicy food if you order it spicy like I did!). Every single ingredient was perfectly portioned, and the balance of flavors was masterfully done. As someone who considers themselves a bit of a sandwich connoisseur, this was easily top 3 best sandwiches I’ve had in my life.

As if that wasn't enough, the same gentleman offered me a complimentary item when I returned—just out of kindness and genuine hospitality. You don’t see that kind of thoughtful customer service every day. It wasn’t just good food—it was a vibe. Clean, kind, flavorful, and professional. What more can you ask for?

They also had a selection of homemade desserts that looked absolutely delicious, but unfortunately I was too full to indulge. Next time, I’ll be saving room!

To sum it up: If I could give this place 10 stars out of 5, I would. I’m officially a regular from this day forward. If you ever come across Pronto Pizzeria, do yourself a favor—go in, treat yourself, and thank me later. You won’t regret it.

Shoutout to the amazing staff for showing genuine respect and hospitality. It’s people like this who remind me how important it is to support each other and lift up our communities. Treat people right, and the world gives it back.“

“Cheap, simple and filling. Way cheaper than oasis grill. A lamb/beef shawarma is standard and the meat tastes good, priced about 12 bucks. (oasis is around 21 bucks) Good serving size too. The lamb/beef is halal thankfully, heads up the chicken is not halal. Overall I like this since it's convenient, quick, saving. Staff is extremely friendly. Go to in the neighborhood. Will be visiting more often.“

“The food and service were really good. They served a bug portion of pita bread with the yummiest tahini dip and a tomato dip along with brined olives and picked radish. We then ordered the chicken shawarma plate and fetta with meat. Both of them were very flavourful and tasty. Serving size was pretty big. They also had a great pistachio kunafa brownie!“

“Extremely delicious!! 🤎🙌🏾🙏🏾“

“Exceptional flavors and ingredient combinations. Beautiful atmosphere, great staff, and excellent prices. I am only in San Francisco for 4 days and I might come back a second time because the food was so great. Well worth the visit!!!!!“

“I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and Aloo Naan. It was very good I recommend this restaurant.“

“Such a great experience eating at this restaurant. The service was top notch and the pizza was to die for.“

“They are friendly and have delicious food.“

“I recently visited Mesopotamia Kitchen and absolutely loved it! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves delicious and authentic dishes!“

“Great and delicious food awsome service and great quantinty and quality with desi taste its a place to had a food blast....... ...“

“I don't know if crispy is what a cheesesteak traditionally is, but it's what it should aspire to be. This place was an accidental choice based on where we were, and it was excellent.

Dietary restrictions: I have kind of an unusual sensitivity, and the fellow behind the counter was willing and able to answer my questions so I could be confident ordering.

I make no effort to keep halal, but it is offered here.

Parking: The nearby BART station is a much better choice.“

“Yan can cook! Enjoy the delicious halal sandwiches, falafel and salad offerings. Ask for the "Secret Sauce"- your tastebuds will be amazed!! ENJOY!“

“LOVE the COMBO Platters with the FRIES and the FALAFELS 😋😋😋“

“I ordered takeout from NEWA. The food was excellent! The paneer tikka masala was super good. We ordered the spicy, and were humbled but honestly that’s what you’re looking for from an Indian/nepalese restaurant. The vegetable momos were unlike any momos I’ve had before but were super flavorful, with great texture & came with a punchy dipping sauce. Definitely have to order from them again!!“

“Great service, good food, very unique decorating,feel like in Morocco 🇲🇦“

“Great Sunset neighborhood Indian/Pakistani restaurant. Friendly service. Accommodates my spice shy palate. Recently introduced thali lunch boxes perfect for single diners. Reasonable prices.“

“It’s was aww❤️ delicious food 🍲“

“Gyrrito is awesome tasty bizniss!!!!“

“Perfect spot for a quick lunch. I first tried the food from Sajj in San Mateo. It was a "regular" lunch place for many at my office. Now that I occasionally work in SF, I was please to find a Sajj just a block away. Love that the food is fresh and bonus that it is full of flavor. I take advantage of ordering ahead and picking up on my schedule.“

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

“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.“
