The menu is authentically Turkish. So is the staff. We haven't had a dish here that wasn't great. They have Turkish wine too, which is hard to find. The downside is the neighborhood. Not great but not terrible. Certainly feels safe. Today we had manti which is available only on W and Sunday. It was great. Always look forward to coming here and hope others have the chance to check it out.

We ordered the lahmacun, chicken kebab plate, Dubai pistachio kebab salad, pinklady, Turkish coffee, pistachio latte, and homemade hibiscus lemonade. Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The lahmacun was crispy and generously topped, the kebabs were nicely grilled, and the fresh vegetables and herbs balanced the meal really well. The drinks were a highlight too. The pistachio latte had a beautiful pistachio rim, the Turkish coffee was rich and strong, and the hibiscus lemonade was refreshing and gorgeous. Great spot for brunch or a casual Turkish meal with friends, especially if you enjoy ordering a variety of dishes to share. Fast service. Would definitely come back!

Shout out to our cashier for pointing us in the right direction for food. Restrooms were clean and in the very back of the cafe. The place is light and the esthetics were nice. The lure of the pastries behind the case got to me. They were so beautiful! I took some baklava to bring home and that was probably the best that I've ever had. Light, flaky and buttery! Overall, I'd highly recommend and I would go back if I was in SF.

We liked their outdoor parklet and table seating (we had our dog with us). One of the few places that cater to al fresco dining. We initially walked past this restaurant and the waiter told us to sit down and give their food a try. We told him we would come back... which we did. Along with a glass of wine we ordered their Hummus cold mezes, Borek hot mezes and the Kubasi Pide flat bread the waiter recommended. All three items were excellent! Hummus was smooth and rich flavored, served with their house made seasoned bread was delish! Ask for more bread. The Borek was crispy light and flakey with the cheesy center. Wow so good! The finale was the Kubasi Pide flatbread. Nice crisp golden brown crust with savory meaty filling. Beautifully crafted and served on a wood platter. Service was wonderful and the vibe was satisfying.

It can be incredibly difficult to find a venue for a crowd on short notice, but we were able to book a reservation for a party of 16 people just three days before for a Saturday night. ​The menu is beautifully simple, making it excellent for families. There is a very good selection for vegetarians, and it is equally great for kids (the fries were a huge hit!). ​The atmosphere was perfect for a celebration. Even with a large group, it wasn't overly noisy, making it very easy to hold a conversation. The vibe is versatile enough that it would be just as great for a big gathering as it would be for a cozy date night. ​The only minor downside is that parking can be quite tough in the area, so I'd recommend giving yourself a little extra time to find a spot. Overall, highly recommend Troya for group events!

Overall, a great vibe if you're looking for a seamless dinner with a crowd. Definitely worth a visit.

Plus, the staff was great about seating us when we arrived one person short. Unfortunately service was incredibly slow.

The food was great, but the floor coordination needs improvement.

I have been eating at Beit Rima since they first opened, and they remain one of my absolute…read morefavorite spots in the Bay Area. Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food is a staple for me, and the depth of flavor here is unmatched--owner Samir's family recipes, especially for the dips, truly stand out from anywhere else. Because most of my family is vegetarian, we have tried virtually everything on the menu over the years, and you honestly cannot go wrong with a single item. Beit Rima has also been my go-to for catering across every kind of occasion--from my kids' birthday parties and relaxed family gatherings to a formal leadership dinner I hosted recently. I have served their food to guests from all different backgrounds, and it is a massive hit every single time. Whether you are dropping in for a casual meal or catering a special event, the consistency, quality, and warmth of the food never disappoints.

We opted for for the 7 course tasting menu and left very satisfied and full! Drinks ordered: Tunnel - no alcohol (8/10): refreshing and I loved I could actually taste the rose water! 55 T -alcohol (10/10): I've never had Raki before but I really liked it! Would highly recommend this drink! Food (tasting menu as of 9/4/26): Ezme Crunch (8/10): a refreshing first bite! Patlıcan (8/10): I normally don't like eggplant but this was a wonderful mix of flavors! The eggplant was also well poached and not too soggy nor too hard! Blackened Cauliflower (8/10): crunchy but well cooked! Very well seasoned! Crunchy Shrimps (10/10): I don't usually love shrimp but this was EXQUISITE. The crunchiness of the kataifi paired with the chili? DELECTABLE. I would love to have this again! Mantı (9/10): I'm a big fan of mantı, but usually I only like it with beef. This had both lamb and beef and although I normally avoid lamb since it's too gamey for me, it wasn't at all! I could taste the lamb in the beginning, but it then had a lovely beef finish. Would definitely have this again as well! Shish Kebab (7/10): I thought it was good, but in comparison to the previous bites before, it could not compare. I'm interested in trying their branzino option next time. Taksim Donuts (8/10): we were told to mix a little bit everything together to make the perfect bite and indeed it was DELICIOUS! I'm not crazy about chocolate desserts, but I did enjoy the ice cream! I was hoping for something with baklava on their menu, but this was still good. It came with a glass of çay (Turkish tea)which paired perfectly with the dessert. Overall, I can't wait to return to Taksim and bring more friends!
