This place can get too crowded and noisy. The location is bad and there is no parking - upper tendorloin in downtown area. I only go here for their sweet delicasy - harissa; others call it baklava. Staffs are efficient and the place looks clean.

Shady neighborhood, wonderful food. The kebabs are full of flavor. The sponge cake is soaked in sweetened rose water, it's overly sweet.

If you love kebobs of any kind, you got to try this restaurant in the shady neighborhood of Tenderloin. The portions are huge.

The DONOR sandwiches are nothing like the ones you find all over EUROPE. IT REALLY SUKED! The kababs is what I reccomend. I have to agree with one of the reviews about the description on the menu is not what you get sometimes. Oh WELL! Go for the KEBABS! I REALLY MISS THE DONER KEBAB SANDWICHES in EUROPE! Pros: Good KEBABS Cons: DONORS SANDWICHES... Service was off

This is the one of few inexpensively priced Mediterreanean restaurants in the Tenderloin/Union Square area. The kebabs--lamb in particular--are the standout choices, served with rice, salad and bread. Be sure to try one of the many appetizers before your entree, such as the flavorful tabouli. Pides are fine, but on this visit, my beef pide seemed a little dry and under seasoned. Surroundings are pleasant and nicely decorated with traditional art. Pros: Tasty kebabs, wonderful appetizers, nice surroundings Cons: In the Tenderloin

We love this place so much we had our wedding rehearsal dinner here - for what turned out to be almost 50 people. They handled it beautifully: food kept coming; wine kept pouring; they even made room for the belly dancer we brought in. The food here is phenomenal. I don't know how that bread is made, but its brilliant. Try the pides, the sigaras, the cold appetizer plate and all the kebabs. They also make this lamb pizzetti thing that is out of this world. Try the Turkish beer too and never leave without having pistachio baklava. And the real-deal chefs in the hats? As if anything could add more to the ambience? This place is the best value, food, and casual fun. Pros: FOOD, Staff, Private room
