    Recently moved a couple of doors down and expanded. Nice back patio area! The platters are superior to the wraps, BTW. Pitas are $1 a pop now, but you still get complimentary olives & pickles.

    Pro tip: they'll sell you a bag of 5 pitas for $5, and they're better than the hard flat ones you get at grocery stores (although still not as thick and fluffy as they should be).

    Stuffed falafel is delicious! Combine with mossabaka and a carrot juice! The outside patio with the water fountains is very relaxing!

    Portions are huge, def recommend sharing. Shish Kabab lamb was delicious. Hummus with shawerma dish-- lamb was a bit dry. Everything is very filling! The Warbat for dessert is gooood.

    Decent but by no means exceptional Levantine food. Try the mossabaka (hummus mixed with whole chickpeas)

    Yum - got the Qudsiyah (hummus with foul) and combo plate (Shish tawouk and kebab were great, the lamb a bit too tough)

    Great legit middle eastern food. Now my favorite in SF. Very nice staff. Falafel wrap is so fresh.

    Don't get the wraps, you can't get decent lavash in SF and they're no exception. Plus, the other dishes come with some pretty decent pita bread.

    Bright mezzes and all the staples like lamb kebaps - they're huge portions and a great South Mission joint for those foggy nights.

    Feta with meat is what you should order. Has pieces of pita in the hummus. What I always get when I come.

    If you want to extra impress, order the Mossabaha, a chunky, spicy hummus that's topped with olive oil and served with house-made bread. Read more

    Rather decent Middle Eastern food. Lentil soup is good. Service is in the slower side.

    The food was actually OK here, but what I did not appreciate was the discrimination that went on here. When I went back for a second time, they refused me entrance.

    The Hummus is usually exceptional but it could vary with age. For best results early lunch will do
