Lokma is my favorite Turkish restaurant in SF. We always get their Turkish Breakfast for 2 with a side of Simit and pancakes to share. You can't make reservations for brunch but you can join the waitlist online. Their dinner is good too, I'd recommend trying manti.

This place is a delight! 4 of us came for brunch on a Sunday and it did take about 45 minutes to get a table after joining the Yelp waitlist. The service was friendly and the food was delicious and came out quickly. We couldn't skip out on the Turkish breakfast which feeds 2, so we ordered more items like menemen and Greek yogurt pancakes. The pancakes are actually very good! I usually am not big on pancakes but these were made from a very flavorful batter and topped with a delicious blend of Greek yogurt and berries. This is a great location as well, it's on a pretty quiet street and quite easy to find parking.

Lokma is a real gem! Everything was absolutely delicious! The wait staff were friendly and attentive. Street parking was easy. We loved everything we ordered but can't wait to go back and try something different.

Big fan of sharing the Turkish breakfast - the perfect amount for two. But if your a larger party add an order of the Sunrise Combo so you get to try their fantastic pancakes! They have a relatively small space inside but are on the corner and take advantage of their outdoor space for curb side seating.

I felt like at home. Everything was so beautiful and delicious. Yogurt pancakes became our favourite. It is incredibly nice to see Turkish tea, Turkish coffee, simit, the flavors I miss all together. ❤️

The perfect breakfast and lunch spot in the city. Turkish breakfast for 2 is my favorite, but you can't go wrong here. Everything is delicious. The meatball sandwich is also wonderful. If you sit outside order the Turkish Tea.

Lokma is a fantastic Middle Eastern restaurant in San Francisco's Little Russia neighborhood. The food is consistently delicious and the service is excellent. The atmosphere at Lokma is casual and welcoming. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. I will say, there is only street parking and it's a total hit or miss around dinner time. Whilst I don't normally drive there, it can take around 15 minutes to snag a spot.

In case there is a problem with parking, it may be beneficial to choose an in-flight dinner. The place is a little small but cute. The day we went, the weather was very cool and there was no free space for the parts. Staff are trying hard to protect us from the cold. Finally, space was made available from inside. The food was delicious. After traveling from Ankara to the other side of the world, it was very good to still find familiar flavors and see familiar faces. Thank you to the whole team.It may be beneficial to choose an in-flight dinner in case there is a problem with car parking. The place is a little small but cute.

Came an hour before closing and got seated at the bar. The menu isn’t extensive but that’s not a knock - it makes ordering a little easier. We got the Greek yoghurt pancakes, the Menemen, and the trio spreads. Everything was tasty but the pancakes blew me away. Definitely coming back for more.

This place is an underrated Gem. We came here as we were invited by others who heard of this place word of mouth. It's small and on the corner of the street. They have a wide variety of wines, foods and appetizers. I tried it all, I had to. Everything sounded great. We got the trio sampler and I never had a spread so fresh. I got the Branzino and the baklava for dessert. I tried the short ribs and dumping too. It was very tender. I felt healthy eating here. Outdoor seating has a heater and they also have blankets. The service is friendly and knowledgeable. I'd definitely come back!
