The FOOD was Jaw-dropping, but I held on to my manners and kept my mouth closed. It was SO GOOD. A platter of grilled shrimp that was like something I've never tasted before, and yet is was familiar as Good Cooking from Magical Hands. The babaganouj was hands down one of the best I've ever had, smoky and held together in a creamy constitution and not watery. They make their own pita, phenomenal garden salads, Chicken breast kebabs, lamb and beef. I don't eat the last two, but everyone said that they were delicious. All I know is that the catered event had everyone inquiring about the source of the food. The following day I ordered catering for an office event. Don't cheat yourself. Try this full flavored and expertly crafted cooking. Someone whispered that the chef was from Yemen, but I can't verify. What I can verify is that the food is HALALICIOUS!!!

It was packed at 5:00 p.m., which seemed like a great sign, and it has the feel of a solid casual Mediterranean restaurant. We ordered the beef kebab dinner and the falafel dinner. We requested the beef be cooked medium rare, but when we got home, it was closer to well done. Unfortunately, the beef was quite tough and difficult to eat. We were hungry after our hike, so we ate it anyway, but it was disappointing. The falafel dinner was a little better, though nothing particularly memorable. I was surprised given the high ratings, but after reading more reviews afterward, I noticed others had also mentioned that the meat can be overcooked. Since we usually order takeout, I probably wouldn't return because it's too much of a gamble if the meat isn't cooked as requested. It's unfortunate, as the restaurant was busy and seemed well-liked, but this visit didn't live up to our expectations.

This is one of those hidden gems that makes the San Francisco experience so much fun. The food is absolutely delicious. I ordered the chicken Shawarma burrito, and the garlic fries. The chicken Shawarma was juicy, and very tasty. The burrito has a hole was not necessarily my favorite because it needed a little something, but overall it was absolutely tasty. The portion is very generous, and definitely I could make this shareable. The fries... I'm always on the Outlook for the best fries around, and these garlic fries were absolutely delicious. Perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside light on the inside, and just the garlic flavor was amazing. I love the fact that they just didn't dump some jarred garlic on top of some french fries and call it done. Nope these are the real deal. The staff is friendly and I'm glad that I took the recommendations. The store itself is filled with everything you could possibly want. I had originally stopped in to grab a drink, but they literally have things from chips, candy, to grocery items. I love this experience. This is a place that you definitely want to check out, and enjoy some of their good eats!

This is a neighbirhood grocery store with an extensive list of cooked food. Pleasantly surprised they had the fresh hummas I was seeking.

That would have probably got me to a 3 star, but they also have these cute drink combos in cute packaging...OMG... what a cute idea. Sounds be great for a few friends drinking without tons of alcohol being consumed. This aisle alone was worth a star....4 star. If you get adventurous around Ocenview... this is a great stop.

The original plan was to grab some lunch items at Whole Foods, but who doesn't want to try a new restaurant?! Walking into the restaurant, it's a little unclear if you order the counter and they bring you food or if you're seated and you order at the table. We quickly figured out that your order at the counter and then grab one of the tables and they will bring you your order. I found the restaurant to be unkept, and most of the tables that did not have customers sitting at them were super dirty. The tables hadn't been cleaned from the previous customer/customers. We had already ordered and it was that quick mental conversation of are we expected to clean the table so that we can dine there or what. Thankfully, a bus boy appeared, and he didn't seem overly eager to want to clean the table that we were standing at but instead wanted to clean one that someone was dining at. It was kind of odd. He took a couple of swipes at the table and it really just removed the food that someone had dropped all over the table. Just not a comforting feeling when you know that you'll be dining in that same spot. Our food came out fairly quickly, and I was super excited to have a good meal. We ordered the lunch special, which included a lentil/garbanzo, bean side, CTM ( chicken, tikka masala), rice, and naan. We ordered one mango lassi to share because we figured it was easier to try it, then order too much. You can always order more, right?! The mango lassi was very underwhelming. It locked through mango flavor, and that hint of tanginess. I just felt like I was drinking warm mango juice. I definitely have had better. With the lunch plate, we upgraded the naan to the cheese naan. I love carbs like anyone else does, but I found this to be basically bread that someone had put curry flavor in with a couple of cubes of cheese. So basically curry powdered bread. Yuck. The CTM, I found the chicken to be very sparse in terms of the portion size, and the chicken was very rubbery. It was overcooked, and I specifically had asked for little to no spice. Apparently that request was ignored. The lentil and garbanzo beans were tasty, but the garbanzo beans were undercooked, incredibly hard, and the flavor profile was really weird. It couldn't decide if it was supposed to be spicy, spicy, and salty, or something in between. The rice was OK. It had far too much fenugreek in it, and again the flavor profile, even combined with the CTM just was a little offputting. The guy behind the counter was fairly friendly, but it wasn't that warm and inviting friendliness. Is this a place I would go back to? No, not at all The one thing that I really enjoyed was the artwork on the walls.
