We were looking for something unique and in a neighborhood we don't spend a lot of time in, and were so happy to stumble across Taksim.
As soon as we walked in, the smells of deliciousness hit our noses. The staff were very welcoming and also brought over a carrot/ginger soup shot as a little welcome item which was a very nice touch. Throughout the meal the service was stellar.
The food itself was also very good. The flower bread is super soft, airy and the sumac butter just takes it to a whole new level. The dip trio was also a very good idea. You've had these dips before I'm sure, but Taksim's are even better.
The cocktails and wine list are also impressive with some winners along the way. The Black Salt Blaze and the Peachy Bazaar were both very good!
Can't wait tot go back!!

Taksim was an incredible dining experience. I tried the tasting menu and was genuinely inspired by the cauliflower dish, absolutely floored by the kabobs, and completely blown away by the chocolate dessert. We stopped by after a Giants game and although I wish I had dressed up a bit more, the staff was welcoming and warm. The service was just as outstanding as the food. Highly recommend this spot.

Met a friend for dinner. It has indoor and outdoor seating. Conveniently located on the T Muni stop. There is a paid parking lot across the street though it’ll get crowded during games as it’s near the ballpark. We ordered the 7 course tasting menu which you had to pre-order. I was worried that it would be too much food. It was just right! Nice vibe. Some folks were dressed casually others got dressed up (at least by SF standards). My dinner companion and I would try it again although we’ll try a la carte. The diners next to us had interesting dishes delivered to their table.

Oh my god, this is one of the best Turkish and Mediterranean food in San Francisco Bay Area !!! The food is soooo authentic and tasty and cute environment!!’ The servants are extremely caring friendly and attentive !! It’s a great spot for friends hang out and also for a date. The bar is cute and music is beautiful, everything is fantastic !!!
Our first time at Taksim was AMAZING!!!! Where can I begin…everything from the food, the atmosphere and most importantly the service. Everyone is so so so friendly, warm and welcoming which makes the experience even better. The food is so delicious, it actually feels like you’re sitting down at a Turkish home and eating real homemade Turkish meals made with love…at least that’s how I would describe it. 🥰 My family ordered the following:
Entrees ~ • Australian Lamb Chops (pic not shown) • Grilled Chicken (pic not shown) • Guvec for two
Dessert ~ • Taksim donuts • Raki Palace pudding • Turkish tea Highly recommended to try all these dishes! Everything was super delicious! I would order all of it again! ☺️ Can’t stop saying how I highly recommend trying this place out. Please if you have a chance to be in the city and around the Oracle ball park area and want some authentic Turkish cuisine stop by Taksim. You won’t regret it! Thank you to all the staff there, you guys made our night!

One of the best meals I have had in SF, Taksim is a rare case where the price meets the quality. Multiple dishes here were outstanding, including the lamb carpaccio, lamb chops, and their challah bread and hummus platter. Just delicious
The other dishes were good to great, and overall it was a great, great meal. Highly recommend checking out if you want a nice meal in the city for a fair price.

Swoon. Taksim offers a modern Turkish take. Inspired meze: everything we tried was delicious. Notable standouts: Patlican (eggplant), lamb carpaccio, crunchy shrimp and chickpea fries. Notable entree: Guvec beef stew which was bursting with flavor. Team is so welcoming. Turkish rugs soften the cool industrial chic decor.

This unassuming spot on a side street is more than meets the eye. Indoors is cool contemporary. The rest unfolds as a pleasant surprise: interior, staff, inventive cocktails, and a strong menu. Hint: the al a carte dishes looked great. But the tasting menu suited my fancy. Enjoy!
