Truly Mediterranean lives up to its name, but the real star of the menu is the kefta kebab. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and grilled just enough to get that smoky char without drying out.
Honestly, all of their kebabs and shawarmas are so good and being just a few minutes away from my office, I end up grabbing my lunch with a hot steaming cup of lentil soups from them every day.

Truly Mediterranean is one of those rare places that instantly feels like home. Located right in the heart of the Mission, this little gem serves authentic Mediterranean flavors with a standard of quality that’s hard to find anywhere else in the city. Everything tastes freshly prepared—from the perfectly seasoned shawarma to the silky hummus and warm, fluffy pita.
The attention to detail, the clean flavors, and the consistently friendly service make every visit a great experience. You can truly taste the love and tradition in every bite. Whether you’re stopping for a quick lunch or planning dinner with friends, this is one of San Francisco’s must-visit spots for Mediterranean food.

Ordered various items among them was 2 pieces of pita bread. I was excited to use the pita with the baba ganoush I ordered. They came cold, thrown in this bag with spots of mold on it. If this is what they're sending out that I can see, I am worried about the health and safety of the prepped items I ordered such as the baba ganoush and falafel wrap. Won't order from them again.

I've been here 3 times. I would say overall it's okay - about average shawarma. Nothing extraordinary. The girl working Saturday night isn't very friendly though. My second issue is lukewarm shawarma. How's that even possible? You're not supposed to cut it off the spit until you're about to make a sandwich. Lazy cooks. It's disappointing to spend almost $40 for two wraps with 2 drinks and walk away unsatisfied.

I've been coming here for decades. It's always flavorful and filling. With options for meat, poultry or veg it's easy to find a good wrap or plate. There are a couple of tables on the busy sidewalk, so this is a take out or catering restaurant.
Note - I feel like the quality of the meat has decreased a little. I keep getting grstle in my schwarma, which is never welcomed. Still, I return because it tastes so good.

yeah really lacking. meat was meh, not really popping flavor and missing a lot of the ingredients it listed for deluxe lamb wrap. or maybe they just sprinkled in a minuscule amount. for 18$ no less

Truly San Francisco Restaurant lives up to its name — it captures the real spirit of the city through its food, ambience, and warm service. The moment you walk in, you feel the cozy, welcoming vibe that makes it perfect for both families and friends.
The menu is full of fresh, flavorful options with that classic SF touch. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and every dish feels thoughtfully made. The service is great too — friendly staff, quick turnaround, and they check in without being intrusive.
The place is clean, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it has that modern-but-comfortable San Francisco look. Whether you’re visiting the city or a local looking for a chill spot with good food, this is definitely worth trying.
Highly recommended! 🌉🍽️✨
