Their lamb and beef shawarma wraps are the worst so far in the Bay Area.

*During COVID*I was looking through the apps for some Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food. After looking at a few, I settled on this place since I noticed they have a family meal deal (serves 4 for $40)! I added a baklava for an extra $2 for dessert. For the meal set I get to pick 1 protein (chicken/beef), 1 rice (tumeric/lentil), 2 salad/appetizers, and a sauce. It comes with falafel (8 pcs.) and pita bread. It also came with other sauces too. The app I used did not give me an option to pick 2 salads/appetizers (I did not know until I looked up their official menu) so I picked the hummus (to go with the pita!). Luckily they gave me the yogurt cucumber salad for the 2nd choice (which was the other side that I wanted). I am glad that I tried this place out since they have such a great deal for good food! They also threw in an extra baklava! It is actually just my boyfriend and I eating it, so we have plenty of leftovers for the next day. *They are open Monday-Friday from 11am-7pm. We called to make sure because the hours on yelp, google and the app were different.**There is a order/pickup window**They have a parking lot of easy order/pickup*

I have been having the catered food from this place for years! Finally I went in and bought a lunch special and it was great. The same flavor and great value as the catered meal. The portions are great and the value is matched. I took the food To go and the meal came out very quickly. The staff was very accommodating and helped me order exactly what I wanted.

I like the food here a lot. The meat is always juicy and flavorful. I always get the beef-lamb kebab plate and the lentil rice and a side. The price is reasonable too. The lady at the cash register today was very abrupt. But she did it to the people after me too so maybe that's just her personality. They have all these nice desserts to the side. The parking lot is really small though.

Great food and nice decor. Nicely served dishes, we had a business lunch there and everyone ordered something different, all looked amazing and my chicken kebab was enjoyed. Portions are great size as well.

This place is a great option if you are visiting South City and San Bruno. Very fast and friendly.

Quiet place tucked in an industrial area is SSF. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. They serve wraps or plates. Hubby had the chicken shawarma with hummus. I had a mixed kebab plate of beef lamb and chicken, served with white rice and hummus. Also had some fries which were fresh cut and seasoned nicely. The food was tasty but the shawarma was a bit dry. Reasonably priced.

Service is fast and employees are super nice. I go here almost every day for lunch time. Their tanouleh is the best in the bay area hands down. Their lentils soup is great if you like a little of curry for flavor. Their falafel are fresh and super good. Highly recommend this place.

Overall taste is good and the portions are generous; however, all the meats are dry to me. Lentil rice is good and I love the eggplant salad yet again, meat is hard to swallow.
