Had a nice solo lunch while waiting for my daughter at UCSF. Service was attentive and food was tasty! I had the watermelon salad and beets in yogurt. The pita bread was warm and fresh!

Lahmacun dough was undercooked. Salad was fresh. Fellow diners did not like their chicken and kofte wrap, either.

It had been over a year since I had been at Lale. I took some friends this time. It was 1 PM and there were not many people in the restaurant. I am not sure why the service was so off. Staff was not to be seen much of our lunch. Wow we ordered our cocktails after our food. They were brought to us after the arrived. They forgot plates to share with, and when they came back, they didn’t have enough. Food was marginal and portions were very small except for the salad. While ai loved the flavors of the falafel‘s. It seemed like they weren’t cooked fresh. it was a relaxing atmosphere. Last the bathrooms were horrendously dirty. Which is just a no in the restaurant business at any time of service as far as I’m concerned. Kind of embarrassing since I was the one that chose the place.

Love this neighborhood restaurant for brunch, lunch, or dinner. I'm partial to the lamb wrap-- the meat is well-seasoned, juicy, and delicious and comes with a fresh salad and the house hummus. The restaurant also serves delicious salads and more brunch- like offerings. Service is friendly.

Change your fryer oil before you serve BLACK potatoes to your customers. As a restaurant worker myself I would never in my right mind serve people this. Have some standards and pride in what you’re serving.

Great interior look- although food portions were very small. There was very little effort put into my scramble, very little seasoning or culinary flair. It’s a bummer as just a bit of effort goes a long way! I did sub egg whites which could have impacted quality. Don’t normally leave reviews this meal was just abnormally underwhelming, bland, and expensive

Made a 7:45 pm reservation, and when we reached, they informed us that their kitchen was closing early. On a Friday, that too at this time.
Very disappointing. We had the grilled salmon and chicken kebab and both were over cooked. There was very little foot traffic so not many diners.

We have been to Lale several times over the years and the food has always been excellent. The restaurant interior however is too dimly lit which detracts from the setting. The service while courteous is slow... but in fairness can be attributed to current economic conditions that have resulted in some understaffing?

Everything was great. 6.5. Oslo scramble with replacing potato’s for fruit. English muffin was great and crispy. Lentil chili was good next time try lentil soup. Veggie burger was great. Falafel wrap was standard

Lale is my absolute favorite breakfast place. The ricotta french toast is so delicious and whenever I come back home from college I always get LaLe. Jose is the best server ever and always remembers my order too!

It’s always a pleasure to have brunch at Lale! I highly recommend their Olso Scramble (my favorite) and their Dutch Baby pancake. A heads up that the Dutch Babies are limited, and I recommend that you visit on the earlier side to secure one.
And what brunch is complete without fresh orange juice and strong Trukish coffee?! Lale has you covered!
