How can you begrudge a bar called Zam Zam? It sounds like the strum of my hand on an out-of-tune…read morezither. Regardless, it's definitely the watering hole I didn't know I needed until I finally entered their portal. It's dark in here but not in a bad way. With its fanciful back wall mural (Photo 4), it felt a bit like a sultan's harem that seemingly doubles as an Ottoman coffeehouse. I came in around 4PM on a weekday. This proved to be an ideal time because you can tell this compact bar gets packed quickly. I had heard they were famous for their renditions of classic cocktails, in particular, martinis straight up. What an intentional coincidence as I was in the mood for an Espresso Martini. I'm hardly ever not in the mood, so it was a good thing the bartender was seasoned enough to make a silky smooth one (Photo 7). It was more than reasonably priced at $14. While I didn't catch her name, the bartender was cordial and just chatty enough to mitigate my introverted social sensibilities. More customers started to trickle in, an older profile than the other popular Haight bars. I can say that because that's my geriatric DNA. I like The Alembic and The Mad Dog in the Fog, but this one may have just taken the edge. COCKTAILS - 5 stars...genuinely smooth espresso martini AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...a bit dark, a bit exotic, wish it was a bit bigger SERVICE - 5 stars...excellent bartender TOTAL - 5 stars...getting into a zam zam jam RELATED - Exploring the Haight?

I love this hookah lounge! There are pretty good drinks and the ambiance is very pretty and clean…read more There is a lot of seating which is good for big groups. The staff is super nice and they served really good wings and fries.

I came for food. Food is good! Tried the grilled kofta kebab plate which came with hummus and salad…read moreand yellow rice. I appreciate that It's a good size plate! The meat was flavorful and delightful. Chicken wings were crunchy and yummy with a sweet glaze. Baba ganoush dip came with lots of pita. You can get a mix plate which had a variety of meats if you want to try it all, good choice! There are two sides of the venue, left is superrrr casual for eating and has some nice murals. The right side is a party vibe super decorated for those who want to hookah. is soo pretty with the purple red lights, wow! 3% charge for credit card or you can choose to pay in cash instead.

Came here twice, service was just as bad both times. QR codes on the table led me to order a beer…read more Guy comes later and tells me he's out of that specific kind.. now I pay for a different style, sure whatever. They also ran out of a soda, and a hookah flavor.. this is where I lost it. He offered a different soda, and just randomly brought out a hookah flavor we didn't ask for. I understand, maybe they just ran out of everything. We order a refill on hookah, mind you you have to pay first, then wait for them to actually look at the orders. Waited 20 min, asked server to check.. he proceeds to bring everyone walking in their hookah. We wait another 20 min , nothing. Second visit, hot tea takes over an hour to arrive. All whilst reminding servers we ordered different things. Attention to customers is horrible. Wasted time and money here. Food was surprisingly the best part. Spicy chicken shawarma is great.

The food was absolutely delicious, everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly…read moreprepared. But what truly made this experience stand out was the service. The server was incredible: attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcomed from start to finish He checked in at the right times without being overwhelming, which I really appreciated. Overall, a great experience and I'd definitely come back I highly recommend it

The vegetable platter was the perfect amount for 2 people. I loved the dolmas, phylo cheese pastry,…read moreand hummus. Fresh pita and baba ghanoush was good too. The pickled eggplant appetizer was good but a little salty. The zaatar feta tomato flatbread was a little salty and soggy. Wouldn't get that one again. The interior had a cool Arabian theme with arches and paintings on the wall. I wish the tabouleh had more grain and it was a little too citrusy but still overall good. The falafel was good too. I would come back.

The 5 course is the perfect share for 2 and I highly recommend the shrimp kabab though my friends all say the lamb is the best. The atmosphere is so fun and the belly dancing is so much fun they really incorporate the audience. Everything is perfectly cooked and honestly some of the best Moroccan food I've had. Go here!!! The negative reviews are seriously missing out. The service doesn't have the same flow as other restaurants, but that's by design, they want you to relax and enjoy your time there if you want things done more quickly you just have to ask and they are happy and quick to accommodate. This is an experience not a race to get everything at once.

Tried this place out yesterday and we loved it! Great and delicious food with good hookah, service…read morewas amazing especially the gentleman Rami, we will be coming back soon

Illegal Mezcal was super smokey and whole drink was well balanced. Deco - 3.5 stars. Good, less interesting than I thought it would be, what with the ghost pepper and cardmom. Tom did us a solid and got us into the burlesque show which was KILLER. I had no idea it existed until we got there.

My margarita was even good and tasted watered down. The service was a bit rude and stand off-ish. I…read moreoverheard the bartender speaking with another customer telling them to wait to order since another customer needs their order taken. The way he said it was unexpectedly rude. I wanted a Midori sour and they agreed, moments later, they came back and said didn't have anymore sours. Alright a margarita it is. Probably the my worst margarita I've ever had. I still finished my drink but wasn't satisfied. The bar is kinda small and cramped. Dimly lit. It's CASH only. Limited seating. Has 1 pool table. Unfortunately I will not be coming back.
