Iskender kebab
Abhijoy S.

Kapari was absolutely amazing. We ordered: * Iskender kebab: Buttery bread topped with gyro meat and tomato sauce with a side of yogurt. Super savory and rich--probably the best rendition of the dish I have had outside of Turkey. * Manti: Delicious, but could be a tad spicier. * Kunefe: Another hit! Not too sweet but decadent. The service was a little slow, but they acknowledged it and offered us tea/coffee on the house. I will definitely be coming back when I'm craving Turkish food!

If you are looking for authentic, refined Turkish flavors, this is absolutely the right place. The stuffed grape leaves (yaprak sarması), kibbeh (içli köfte), manti, and salad were all amazing. You can really taste the quality, and we were told everything is completely handmade. We actually just stopped by for a quick snack, but we loved it so much that we ended up ordering two plates of everything! I highly recommend this place. On top of that, knowing it is women-run and seeing how spotlessly clean the venue is really gives you great peace of mind. I truly hope they open more locations in the future!

Lentil Soup (Small-$5.50)
Cherylynn N.

YAS! After several months, the "hot and new" feature on Yelp is FINALLY working again so we can seek out small, under the radar businesses. And, just in time for the busiest day in the year for restos: Valentine's Day! *Ahem* Fellas, if you fumbled in securing rezzies this weekend...Kapari, a "hot and new" resto is a great option! Quietly opening in late January 2026, Kapari is located at the edge of Chinatown and FiDi. Street parking is easy on the weekends and after 6 pm on weeknights which is a plus! Rezzies accepted on Yelp. M E N U Turkish Cuisine. Everything is under $23 except the elaborate Turkish Breakfast for Two ($49) served on the weekends. No alkie but RM 212, a cozy bar/lounge is steps away. F O O D * Lentil Soup (Small-$5.50): https://tinyurl.com/53nvcmju Comforting, savory and earthy with a satisfying creaminess. To nitpick, it could have been served hotter. * Manti: Handmade beef dumplings w/ garlic yogurt, melted butter, seasoned oil ($19.50): https://tinyurl.com/333w3cx7 Their specialty dish, it hits all the notes of rich, savory goodness with a fresh creamy tang from the yogurt. The dumplings (like mini raviolis) had a delicate yet chewy texture with a spiced beef filling. * Mix Grill Plate: Grilled kofte, chicken skewer, beef skewer, rice, salad, hummus ($22.90): https://tinyurl.com/2dy33e4x All the proteins were cooked perfectly: the kofte, slider-sized beef patties were juicy and springy, the marinated white chicken was moist, and the beef shish kebab was flavorful and tender. Served with perfectly cooked pilaf, nicely separated fluffy + buttery, creamy hummus, and a fresh salad with a zesty vinaigrette. * İskender Kebap: Döner w/ butter-toasted bread, tomato sauce, melted butter, yogurt ($22.50): https://tinyurl.com/3rzt83bu A classic Turkish dish done right, a bed of toasted pide is topped with thinly sliced döner (beef+lamb), smothered with warm, tangy tomato sauce, and finished with sizzling butter. Rich, savory and hearty with a cool tangy yogurt for a fresh contrast. The pide soaks up all the sauces but still had a delicate crisp to it. S E R V I C E Warm, friendly, and prompt (we were one of two tables). A M B I A N C E Modern and minimalist yet cozy, with ornate Turkish plates and traditional tea and coffee apparatus artfully displayed on the walls. There's 8-9 tables. Overall, Kapari is a welcome addition to the FiDi/Chinatown area serving delicious and affordable traditional Turkish dishes in a cozy, stylish setting, ideal for a relaxed solo meal or date night.

Manti: handmade beef dumplings with a delicious yogurt sauce
Ellie A.

We had reservations for another popular restaurant close by but then decided to come here instead as it was way too busy. I'm SO glad we did as it ended up being an amazing experience! A labor of love: This place just opened up 2 weeks ago and you can tell that it's a place created by a lot of labor of love. The owners who are a couple, were also the ones serving us and were super warm and hospitable. The ambiance is nice and cozy- not packed or busy like other places, where you can take your time and enjoy a nice Méditerranian meal. Now for the food... Everything was absolutely delicious! The prices are very reasonable for the area and portions. I got the breakfast plate which is sort like a make-it-yourself deconstructed breakfast with eggs, jam, cheese, cucumber, olives and bread. The highlight dish was the "manti" which was the beef dumplings with the yogurt sauce. OMG I could have dipped myself in that yogurt sauce and been one happy camper. That sauce is incredible!!! The dish is like nothing I have ever eaten before either. Warning: it will want you to come back and have it again soon! My husband also got the lentil soup which he liked. We can tell everyone is super authentic Turkish cuisine and also that each dish is made with passion and love that you can taste in every bite. For dessert we had the baklava - now as a Greek I had to try the two different types! They have the pistachio one (my favorite) which was served in 2 and very crunchy and the walnut one which was a bit different but still tasty. So it's nice that they provide a variety! Family friendly: It's also very kid friendly! They provide a generous packet of colored pencils for the kids to draw on the paper. I really appreciate that as when we go to restaurants and they only have 1-3 colored it's nice for them to have a variety! Bonus you can keep it or give jt back to be more environmentally friendly. The kids menu was pretty great, we got the chicken and French fries which came with tzatziki sauce that my kids loved. So I would totally bring the kids here as the menu is decent plus the added colored pencils and paper too! Overall it's so nice to see a new small family business in SF. The owners are super kind and also provided us with some complimentary Turkish tea which was amazing!! And a great palate cleanser. My kids loved the food also which makes me a happy Mama :) I would totally recommended coming here to try it for lunch or dinner - with the family, a group dinner or a date night! You will love the authentic food, the lovely ambiance and the amazing incredible service. It will no doubt leave you feeling like you took a trip to Turkey!

Turkish tea
Ibrahim Y.

Came here opening day, and met the owners. They are a super nice and hard working husband and wife. I completely forgot to leave a review the first time, the food was that good! I recommend you try the manti, and finish the meal off with baklava and a Turkish tea. The ambience also very nice, it's bright, clean and seating is not too cluttered. Thanks Mahir

Hummus and pita

Good Turkish style foods (at least that's what we had. The Ayran was a bit too salty for me but glad I tried it. The food is solid.

been coming here since i was in middle across the way nothings has changed this place has amazing…read moresandwiches and the people are great 10/10 people food and service would recommend.

I don't normally review sandwich spots because it's hard to go wrong with a sandwich. However, this…read moreplace really stood out to me in the best way possible! I haven't been to the physical location yet, but I ordered through Postmates today and everything from the packaging to the flavor was honestly amazing. I ordered the 6" salami and turkey sandwich. When I opened my order, everything was packaged so neatly and securely in a paper bag with utensils wrapped separately in plastic. What really impressed me was that they not only cut the sandwich in half (which I personally love), but they also wrapped each half individually!! Something I've never seen another sandwich shop do before. This was a huge win for me since I sometimes can't finish a full sandwich in one sitting. As for the taste, the flavor was definitely there from the first bite. I got their jalapeño spread, which had the perfect amount of heat, and the meats were perfectly seasoned. All the condiments came together really well without overpowering each other. This is definitely a place I plan on ordering from again, and I'll absolutely be recommending it to people at my workplace. The price was also very reasonable for the size and quality of the sandwich (I wish I had taken a photo before devouring it)..
