    Went here for a team lunch on a Tuesday! Beautiful restaurant with plentiful indoor and outdoor seating. Can't beat sitting outdoors on a nice sunny day. Food 7/10 We ordered a lot as a team and shared everything. My favorites were the peach with grilled haloumi, the Barcha Hummus and the spiced dumplings! I wouldn't order the chicken shawarma again. It was pretty dry and flavorless. The tuna tostada was...interesting. A little fishy and quite messy to eat, it was basically a huge chip the size of a cutting board with tubs, sauce, veggies on top. But unfortunately it was difficult to share as everything you tried to cut off a portion, the chip would crumble into small bits. The baklava and soft serve were so so good. If I wasn't on a diet I would've eaten more! Service 9/10 Food came out quick and servers were responsive and attentive! Only problem we had was that they forgot to put our order of falafel in, which they happily removed from the bill at the end. Ambiance 10/10 The restaurant design was probably my favorite part. My coworker said it reminded him of Epcot Center in Disney, which I agreed with!

    Ambiance: Good for a date night. There's inside and outside seating, but we chose inside. Even if it's nice outside, dinner time is when the wind tunnels blow through SF and I wouldn't want my food getting cold. It's pretty dimly lit inside with plenty of couch-like booth seating, as well as regular tables. The noise levels were pretty standard. The bathrooms are hidden behind a curtain. Service: This is where I docked a star. The server we had was so unfriendly. He was trying to rush us to make a decision about food and when we asked him about certain items, he didn't really describe the items at all. He just reiterated the menu, as if we're supposed to know what that meant. We asked about the Tagine and had no idea what it was and he just repeated tagine, which, wasn't helpful at all. We had to keep asking for water because they didn't have someone coming by with water, and when we did, it was like we were asking for the moon. It was so much trouble. Food: Trio of Spreads - very flavorful and served with pita bread. There wasn't enough bread for all the dips, but we basically used other dishes we had to dip. I wanted to clear everything and lick the bowls. Spanish Octopus - one single tentacle, charred and perfectly cooked, however for $26, would I order this again? Likely not. I thought it would be at least two, or a pretty sizeable one. The flavors balanced well, as well as the textures. Spring Lamb Shank Tagine - this came in a closed ceramic cone, which they opened and presented to us very quickly. The lamb was tender and pulled apart immediately with a fork and the meat was so juicy. The surrounding root vegetables were also tender to the bite and refreshing paired well with the heavy lamb taste. TL;DR - Inside seating is nice and not windy. Server was rude and you don't get good water service. Food is tasty. Overall would recommend.

    cigars
    Dhevan M.

    Food was absolutely delicious! Appetizers were very tasty, especially the spicy beef dumplings and the cigars. Kebabs were the only one that was alright. Entrees were still very good too, especially the duck, but the apps were preferred. Service was solid, staff were friendly and helpful in helping us choose the right dishes. Ambiance was great too, dark and moody, with a live DJ.

    Date of Visit: 6/3/2026 Barcha is a Mediterranean Restaurant located on near Market Street and on Fremont Street. It was established by chef Kais Bouzidi, with French background. He was also behind the other Mediterranean restaurant Sens and the French restaurant Bon Delire. Marbella $18 I ordered the cocktail made with French vodka infused with basil, elderflower, pressed grapefruit, lemon. Quite refresing. Spanish Sangria $15 One of my friend ordered the sangria with Spanish merlot, brandy, herbed Spanish liqueur, seasonal citrus. Barcha's Hummus $16 We got the hummus recommended by the waitress. On top of the thick and creamy hummus, there were Moroccan carrot salad, snap peas, mint, and on another plate there was a good amount of za'atar flatbread. Fattoush $18 The salad was good too! Romaine, seasonal vegetables, pita strips, mint, smoked feta, sumac, and dressed with lemon vinaigrette. Charcoal Grilled Chicken Kebab $34 The main course of the chicken kebab was great. The chicken was tendered and juicy, at the bottom there was tahini yogurt, aji panca, mujadara, cilantro, and peperonata.

    Green goddess salad
    John P.

    If you're planning to come here for lunch or dinner, book a reservation in advance. This place is surrounded by offices and conference spaces so it gets busy fast. The service was excellent. Our waiter checked in on us regularly, kept our waters filled and was happy to answer questions. Food also came out quickly, around 15 minutes after ordering which was impressive given how full the restaurant was. We started with the spiced beef dumplings and shrimp skewers for appetizers and both were really good. Fair warning on the skewers though, they have a spicy kick so keep that in mind if you are sensitive to heat. For my main I went with the green goddess salad and loved it. The dressing really made the dish. It is on the pricier side, but the food and service back it up. This place is especially great for a business lunch or dinner where you want somewhere reliable and a little elevated.

    Tuna tostada
    Cynthia M.

    Crowd favorite was the new item on the lunch menu: tuna tostada! Felt like i was in a Mexican restaurant, not a middle eastern one. The lavash cracker was thinner than a tostada! Hummus was alright. The meat cigars weren't bad, tamarind sauce could have been more flavorful. Small portions, good location for work lunches.

    Daniel S.

    The spiced beef dumplings and Moroccan cigars are a must have for appetizers when you come here. Then the entree, steak kebab was cooked very well with juicy flavor. Food is amazing as well as the drinks which I forgot what they were because I was feeling a little buzzed after a few. The place is a little dark so it sets a nice romantic feel to it.

    Vegetable hummus plate
    Molly L.

    Came here on a weekday evening and this place was pretty full. We had a reservation and were able to get our table when our party of 3 was here. Overall, the food was just ok. I ordered a veggie hummus plate and was surprised at how little hummus and vegetables there were. For over $30, I would have expected more. I also ordered a mocktail, which was fine, and the baklava. The baklava wasn't event crispy like I'm used to. I was actually pretty disappointed because for over $80 I wasn't full or satisfied with the food. Everything was just okay. The restaurant was loud and a little crowded and not what I was expecting. Not sure I would return. The servers were difficult to flag down as well.

    Short Rib Skewer
    David B.

    The epitome of a five star experience. Not only are you transported by the interior design, but the food will portal you to another world. We arrived during happy hour and nearly sampled the entire happy hour menu. Of the outstanding dishes, two stood above the others, the short rib skewer and the original hummus plate. The hummus plate was a taste of absolute mastery and the sauce for the short rib skewer was nothing shy of perfection. If not for the hummus being so good, the pita would simply exist to help you sop up that sauce. On top of the excellent food, the service was extraordinary. Prompt and attentive and exuding kindness; from the head chef to the runners, those that work there are devoted to providing an experience of fine and comfortable dining. I also want to say a special thanks to the head chef for making my young son's evening. Not only did you see our needs but you took it upon yourself to see to those needs met before we even asked. When bringing your child out to a fine restaurant like Barcha, one feels worried that the atmosphere will not be welcoming to the sensitivity of your young child. You made certain that this wasn't the case for us. I've said enough--Barcha is what makes five stars shine.

    Solid Mediterranean food in the Financial District. Yes, it's mainly people on business trips and business meetings, but it's still an (elevated) vibe. Octopus is delicious, as is their Trio of Spreads (D). Fish is fresh. Service was very attentive. I'll be back!

    drinks menu, Dec 2025

    I've been to Barcha for dinner about two years ago and my team and I all shared a bunch of tapas. It was a positive experience and everything we ate was delicious. But my visit recently left me a bit disappointed. I tried the Persian Saffron Rice with chicken shawarma and it was delicious! It tasted fresh and the yogurt tahini blended really well with the protein and veggies. But the portion was quite small and for $31 for a rice plate, I was expecting a bit more. There was a small amount of chicken and honestly I was at least expecting more rice. The service was great though, my server was attentive and checked in on us despite the restaurant getting busy during the lunch hour on a Wednesday. It's a really nice spot overall either for a date night or lunch with coworkers but I wish for the higher price points that the portion sizes were just a bit bigger.

    Chicken and Speck Ham Croquette
    Andrea G.

    We decided to host our Office Holiday Party at Barcha and it was a great experience. From the very beginning, Sarah the event coordinator was very communicative and answered all our questions and helped make the planning super easy. We originally were booked for the front patio, but since it was raining, they moved us inside to the Medina Space, which was a cute semi private area. But since they blocked it off, it felt very private. We ordered 5 different appetizers: roasted Brussels sprouts, beef dumplings, Morrocan cigars, chicken and speck ham croquette, and hummus with Turkish flatbreads. We had the fattoush salad as one of our four courses. For entrees, we ordered 4 to share family style: rack of lamb, seared prime rib steak, vegan kofta lamb, and falafel plate. And for dessert, we had the Meyer Lemon Meringue Tart. Overall, our experience here was amazing. The service was top notch. Everyone was so accommodating to our needs. The food was really good too! The standout for me was the rack of lamb and the vegan lamb kofta. The rack of lamb was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The vegan lamb kofta was a surprise. If you didn't know it was vegan, you wouldn't be able to tell. It had the texture of sausage and flavor was just so good. We highly recommend this place if you're looking for some amazing food and service.

    Spiced beef dumpling
    Brigitte M.

    Barcha was amazing. Food was so flavorful. We got the spiced beef dumplings, which were so unique and nicely filled, the dip trio and lamb. Service was amazing, and the place was so nice inside. Great for a date night or business meal. Will be back

I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid.

Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.

    We stumbled upon Third Rail after watching a basketball game at Chase Center, and it ended up being…read moresuch a gem! The atmosphere was great. It was busy on a Saturday night without feeling overwhelming and the whole place had a really fun relaxed energy to it. The staff was also fantastic and super helpful with all of our questions. We tried an Old Fashioned and the Third Rail cocktail, which was similar to a sour, and both were phenomenal. Seriously some amazing drinks. We didn't get a chance to try any of their jerky this time around, but we'll definitely be back for it!

    Girl dinner: cocktails and jerky. What's not to love? We…read moreordered: - The yuzu cute cocktail: perfectly refreshing and tart, not too sweet from the pineapple - A mango coconut horchata cocktail: good but a bit sweet and bland. Needed a kick - The jerk jerky: goddam this was spicy! From someone with a medium spice tolerance! Good thing I had the cocktail to wash it down haha. The parts that weren't tongue burning spicy were so flavorful though - The red eye: the espresso rub was subtle but a fun contrast - The thicc Jim: better than any slim Jim or chomp stick you'll ever eat. Fresh pork and that hot honey garlic essence Logistics: - Indoor and outdoor seating - Limited street parking nearby but right next to the light rail and buses along third street and the bay bike trail - Non alcoholic options available

The inside has a really cool, stylish vibe, with a great selection of drinks and very good bartenders. The food was amazing too, especially the sando -- honestly, it might be the best sando I've ever had in San Francisco! Excellent service all around and a fun, comfortable place to meet up with friends for drinks and some seriously good Japanese food. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!
