Roasted hen of the woods mushrooms with balsamic reduction, charred octopus over chickpea puree, and braised lamb shank with goat cheese polenta! 😍
Brunch. Fried chicken sandy, mushroom app, coffee = amaze. Also the Le Mans cocktail 💯
Good neighborhood restaurant
Decent but by no means exceptional Levantine food. Try the mossabaka (hummus mixed with whole chickpeas)
shish taouk is my favorite - and they have the best humous outside the middle east.
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.
A wonderful brunch spot in a lovely, open, airy setting. The poached eggs with tender pork, chickpeas, mole verde, and crispy plantains are spicy and delicious.
Best restaurant in the city for my $, which might explain its longevity. Oysters and wine on the patio in the sun. Fried chicken always and forever.
Like Zuni, a onetime trailblazer inspired by the Chez Panisse mantra. And like Zuni, a fully-fledged restaurant on all levels, from food to service. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Really liked their Chana masala and samosas. Can't wait to try paratha soon.
The goat biryani is outstanding.
Everything was delicious. The biryani is a must. Go for anything South Indian as that is what is unique about this place. Excellent food if you enjoy spice.
Al's Place lives up to the hype - Brine Pickled Fries, Chickpeas a la Catalan, Trout + Crispy Potato, Black Lime Cod drenched in Sunchoke Curry.
Delicious and innovative dishes. On the pricier side but if you want to venture out and try things, get the chefs prefix menu!
The tonarelli and sunchoke curry were standout hits. Close behind were the brassicas and turnips. Al's Place has beautiful presentation and ambitious selections of flavors. Expect big things coming.
chopped salad of dreams. Fressssh Parmesan, large salami strips, chickpeas and olives in a lightly tossed delight
The courtyard is amazing, perfect for a sunny SF day.
Unreal Italian sandwiches packed with even more meat than Deli Board. Better than Ike's. The Salumi is piled high with salamis, served on a perfectly crunchy hero.
House curry dosa is so yum & so filling
Get the paper masala dosa. Its more authentic than what you can get in India.
Eat everything. But to be properly South Indian, you should start with sambar vada; follow it up with a paper masala dosa; and finally, close with a hot sweet cup of chai.

Putt putt pass
Outstanding - each dish is packed with distinct flavors. Get the squid and pork belly, the scallops, and the risotto.
Chef Jason Fox harmonizes a dizzying array of int'l ingredients - including sea urchin w/ sweet potato tempura, chrysanthemum leaf, shiso, scallion, & yuzu kosho. Also try the squid & pork belly! Read more.

SO GOOD. Get the chicken tikka masala, pakoras, and garlic naan. And then get more naan.
Ice water is off the hook
Veggie korma = crack= heaven. You're welcome.
Coconut infused rum! The food was great too, best couscous I've ever had.
When picking meat and carbs, go for tilapia and couscous. Yum!
Although not a "salsa joint" - they play do play a wide mix of world beats including salsa, bachata, reggae, African and more. They serve yummy Senegalese too. Worth checking out.
Mission Bowling Club combines bowling fun with a great dinner menu and killer cocktails. Reserve a table for dinner and a lane or two to follow.
It's not all bowling and Mission burgers at Mission Bowling Club. The bar up front means serious business with nine beers on tap, perfect Manhattans and the TBD with mezcal and jalapeno jam.
Lucky Peach Managing Editor Rachel Khong: "Reasons why this burger is the best: the patty is granulated, the buns have their tops cut off to perfect bun-to-ratio size."
Go here late, say nine or so, and with no more than two people. Sit at the bar & make friends with everyone. Get the chickpeas and red wine.
Good Margherita pie! Hard reservation to get but we'll worth the wait!
Since it opened, F+W has been making waves with its sophisticated pizzas and pasta, but even more impressive is that it's lived up to the hype. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Awesome yummie Lamb Thali!
7x7's Big Eat 2012 says the paper masala dosa is delicious. Yum!
The Dosas are obviously the stats, but don't sleep on the creative appetizers. Pay with Cover and dine without the hassle of the check.
Shawarma date night! Great food and wine by the bottle is well priced.
Hummus and homemade pita. Get the shish taouk, it's incredible.
Choose the rice over the fries. It's some of the best rice you'll have.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
