Great food, nice but slow service, & has heated outdoor seating Favorite dish - calamari. The tomato and couscous worked really well, and the calamari was tender The branzino was cooked & flavored very nicely but is a very hands on and boney fish. I would order it again Trio of spreads - delicious, definitely a must order. The manti was yummy but a bit heavy. The sauce for the noodles reminded me a bit of sour cream or cream cheese. Good for sharing Moussaka was delicious, the eggplant was cooked well Overall, I'd come back to get a few repeat items and to try more on their menu if I have a few hours for dinner. Definitely a restaurant worth trying!
On a weekday morning, people were slowly trickling into Lokma. Since my friends and I came right as they opened, it took a while for our order to come out after ordering, but service was friendly. I tried their Sunrise Combo, which was a filling portion of Greek yogurt, two blueberry pancakes, eggs, and sausage. The eggs and pancakes were prepared just right, but I wish that they served a bit more of the flavorful sausage. Even eating on an empty stomach, I was not able to finish the dish and had some food to take home as leftovers.
Parking here is no joke We circled around for almost 20 mins before giving up and parking at our friend's place 6 blocks away. It was pretty busy for their Sunday brunch. We ended up sitting in their outdoor area on the sidewalk, which was fine because there were heaters. My partner and I shared the Turkish meatball wrap and that was amazing, especially with the sauces it came with. Our friends ordered the Turkish breakfast, menemen, turlu omelet, and the sunrise combo, and everything looked so yum. We also ordered a few Turkish teas. I've heard Lokma is known for their traditional Turkish dinner dishes, but my friend mentioned the brunch menu is a little less traditional. Definitely want to come back to try their dinner menu next time!
This place always looked crowded and I added my name to the waitlist on yelp before heading over, by the time I arrived I was ready to be seated! We saw outside and it was thankfully not cold in the parklet, it definitely blocked all the wind and I felt nice and cozy. Everything was pretty affordable and delicious. We shared the mushroom soup and they split it for us into two bowls. It was delicious, not heavy, and the lemon complimented it nicely. It was very warming and tasty. We also got the meatball wrap, which was quite big and tasty, and came with some super crispy potatoes. It also came with some tzatziki which was great. Lastly, we shared the sunrise combo. The eggs and the pancakes were fluffy and not too sweet, went well with the yogurt and blueberries. Overall, everything was great and pretty good in price. I would come back and try other items on the menu as everything looked great!
Good for brunch! We visited Lokma on a Sunday afternoon and got seated right away. We were hoping to enjoy the sun, but unfortunately all their outdoor tables were in the shade, so it was somewhat chilly out there. I ended up ordering a Turkish Tea just to warm up. For food, our server recommended we get the Turkish Breakfast For 2 and Greek Yogurt Pancakes to share between the 3 of us, so that's exactly what we did. The Turkish Breakfast included scrambled eggs with beef sausage, feta, olives (which we subbed out), muhammara, hazelnut spread, tomatoes and cucumber, kaymak with honey, and warm pita. My favorites were the feta and kaymak, but overall I enjoyed the mix of sweet and savory items. The Greek Yogurt Pancakes were also tasty, especially the blueberry compote, and I liked that they weren't overly sweet. The portion size of the meal was perfect to share between 3 people. Service was friendly and quick. Would be curious to try out their dinner menu!
Oh Lokma, I think you've been bookmarked since the pandemic for me. My best friend and I came for an afternoon meal and were left satisfied. Lokma is a popular and well known Turkish spot in the city. I'd always been curious about their brunch. I suggested my best friend and I dine here and added us to the waitlist. Since it's a popular spot, I recommend keeping in mind the wait times. They have both indoor and outdoor dining and are dog friendly. We sat outside where they also had a heater. Service was super friendly and kind! Very neighborhood charm type of vibes. I'd always wanted to try the Turlu Omelette which is what I got. It's ratatouille in an omelette. I honestly found it fine but a bit watery with the veggies. I also wish I could taste more seasoning within. It is a good job filling me up but I don't think I'd order it again. I'd be interested in coming back to try their dinner. Lokma is a neighborhood staple for Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. They're off Clement in the Richmond, so parking is street or metered. I'm glad I could check off this spot off my list!
At Lokma, one of my favorite spices, cinnamon (I use it in savory dishes as well like chili) ruined my appetite. The omelet was beautifully executed, it was fluffy, soft set, folded. Tzatziki on eggs? Amazing. The Arnold Palmer was balanced and very refreshing. The staff was very attentive and the actual wait was only 10 minutes. I love the restaurant interior. The issue with ratatouille was cinnamon dominating so much that I couldn't taste anything else. The server mentioned they don't typically add cinnamon to ratatouille then confirmed with the kitchen that they do. Also - no side plate meant juggling utensils and orange slices (at this point covered in savory veggie sauce) in my ketchup ramekin and Arnold Palmer glass :( I'll be back but I'll be asking questions before I order any items.
San Francisco, California Clement Street, Outer Richmond Our bed and breakfast was located a few blocks away, and this cozy Turkish inspired restaurant was recommended. Arrived a half hour early for our reservation, and was seated inside right away. (Outside seating with heaters and blankets is available) but this Hawaii girl likes being warm! Tried Efes Turkish beer-yum, followed by warming cream mushroom soup. Love a good mushroom soup on any day. We had stuffed ourselves earlier so we decided to share the patata bravas -crispy fried potatoes in house sauce, feta and olives. Then came the most popular dish at the restaurant, Manti. Tiny beef filled dumplings, covered in yogurt and tomato sauce. Something about the size of the dumplings made this dish especially delicious. This is a place I would visit again and again.... Friendly service, upscale, but not pretentious.
A great morning walk comes with a great breakfast in the neighborhood. I liked the eggs with chess and pots totes. For the bread, it's was a let down. It didn't even have any sort of softening sauce to company it. I would recommend that it adds some cream cheese or anything in that nature to diversify the flavor. The people here were cleaning when we were sitting down. They were nice and polite. The place is cute in the neighborhood.
Lokma is a popular spot in the Richmond for its Turkish-inspired brunch. We started with a spread of three creamy spreads: muhammara, baba ghanoush, and tzatziki, served with slices of warm pita. The Traditional Turkish Breakfast offered a nice spread of items for sharing, including scrambled eggs with sujuk and a cold platter of feta, olives, walnuts, cucumber/tomato, sweet hazelnut spread, muhammara, kaymak with honey, and pita bread. My favorite part of the spread was the scrambled eggs, which had a bouncy yet fluffy texture and a nice salty flavor from the thinly sliced sujuk. The Menemen was another tasty dish of eggs scrambled with tomatoes and peppers, topped with feta cheese. But the most flavorful dishes we tried both came from the lunch menu. The Papas Bravas were fried potatoes served with a sweet, savory, tangy, and spicy red sauce, topped with feta and olives; and the Grilled Lamb & Beef Meatball Wrap came with spiced meat patties, roasted poblano peppers, and fresh herbs in a grilled lavash flatbread, served with crispy potatoes and tzatziki on the side. Overall, the dishes here were flavorful and delicious, though somewhat expensive for what they were (but that's brunch in SF for you!). The service was quick and friendly, and the indoor and outdoor seating had a nice relaxed atmosphere.
What a long wait put our name down at 1 PM on a Saturday and the wait for 3 was about 40 minutes. Walked over to get a coffee at coffee roasters down the street while we waited. BREAKFAST MENU: Papas Bravas: 5/5 the creamy sauce was delicious. This was definitely the first dish emptied. Meatball Wrap: 3/5 light on the protein not too many crazy flavors. Would pass on this. Spread: 3/5 typical pita bread and three different dips. Also, nothing special. Turkish coffee: ordered one to try. Size of an espresso shot. Not my thing. Sunrise combo (scrambled eggs, and two Greek yogurt pancakes) : 3/5 pretty disappointed in this dish just because a lot of reviews said that the Greek yogurt pancakes were amazing, but they just tasted like any other pancake I've had at other diners. Cozy environment really enjoyed the service and ambience. Food was just OK not impressed and given how long the weight is and how difficult it is to find parking. I probably wouldn't come back.
I'm so glad I found Lokma! This is easily one of my favorite brunch spots in Richmond District. The atmosphere is lovely and our waitress was both welcoming and attentive. Not sure what to get, she recommended the Turkish breakfast, which she said keeps people coming back. Now I know why! The Turkish platter was served charcuterie-style, which offered a delicious variety of both savory and sweet items that pair well with the pita bread, eggs, and sausage. I love the honey spread! I'm not picky, but I was not able to figure out what I didn't like since it was that good! Having a bit of everything feels so much more fun and satisfying than a typical American diner breakfast. Lokma deserves its spot among the Top 5 brunch places in SF in my book.
Really yummy! Had never heard of this spot but glad we found it! Shared the Turkish breakfast for 2 and the pancakes. We knew it would be too much food but it was good. That sausage was to die for. Next time we'd get the sandwich which they recommended and maybe a side of pancakes because it's pretty sweet with all the toppings! Cute spot great ambiance and service read more
We came here because we were craving a traditional Turkish breakfast, and overall we had a really enjoyable experience. The Turkish breakfast was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We shared one breakfast platter, and it was more than enough for us. The restaurant itself is also beautiful, with a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. The biggest disappointment was the Turkish coffee. I had been telling my husband how amazing authentic Turkish coffee can be because I had previously visited a Turkish café in San Mateo where the coffee was served in a traditional pot alongside Turkish delights, allowing you to refill your small cup. I expected something similar here. Instead, we each received only a tiny cup for around $5, which felt more like ordering a small espresso. It wasn't bad, but it definitely didn't live up to our expectations. The service was another area that could be improved. We arrived early and were ready to order, but we waited quite a while before anyone came to our table. During that time, I noticed another table that had arrived after us was greeted, had their order taken, and thus received their food before we were served. That was a little frustrating. One small inconvenience is that there is only one restroom for the restaurant. Despite those issues, the food was excellent, and that's what matters most. We would absolutely come back for the Turkish breakfast because it was truly delicious. Overall, I'd give this place 4 out of 5 stars. With a little improvement in service and a more memorable Turkish coffee experience, it would easily be a 5-star restaurant. read more
Decent service, but the food and menu variety were a bit disappointing. The staff were super friendly and the service was good, but the overall variety and execution fell short. We ordered the Menemen and asked to add sujuk. The flavors were okay, but the bread that came with the plate was completely soggy, which really ruined the meal. I actually had to order a Simit on the side just so I could enjoy my breakfast with decent bread. We initially looked at the full Turkish breakfast, but at $42, it definitely didn't feel worth the price. The portion and variety of items are pretty limited for that price point, and it just doesn't give you that rich, endless spread you expect from an authentic Turkish breakfast experience. On a positive note, the baklava and tea were absolutely amazing! Overall, it was just okay. As someone who has been to many Turkish restaurants, I know how incredible and diverse the cuisine can be. They really need to step up the variety and value. read more

LOKMA WAS SOOOO GOOD... A bit busy when we arrived so make sure to get on the Yelp waitlist if possible. We were able to snag an outdoor seat and we were seated in the patio area with heaters so it was nice! Service was excellent and our waiter was friendly. The Turkish breakfast for 2 had so much variety and you can do so many flavor combinations. Get fun with it! The papas bravas-- soft potatoes with cheese and olives. What more can you ask for? Greek yogurt pancakes for the finale. Love the tartness of the yogurt with the sweet fruit and pancakes. Wish there was a little more yogurt but was able to finish it off with some of the honey and toppings from the Turkish breakfast. I will need to come back here again soon... this was a life-changing meal. read more
Absolutely love the Turkish breakfast for 2 here! It is so delicious and fresh, that we revisit this place quite often especially for it. The service is quick and staff is really courteous. They have ample seating inside and outside to manage high footfall. The wait time is usually 5-15 mins for brunch. Highly recommend this place !! read more
I've walked by this spot a couple times but it's always been closed. Turns out it's only open for breakfast/lunch Thursday - Sunday, so I stopped by on a Thursday around lunchtime. Even though it was a weekday, there was still a wait to be seated. My order: Lokma Chicken Sandwich ($18.00): +Grilled chicken thigh was flavorful and juicy. +Crispy potatoes were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. +Pickled onions and tzatziki added bursts of acidity and freshness. -Toasted bun fell apart: I ended up eating the components separately... -There were only a few arugula leaves. Turkish Black Tea ($4.50): +Very hot! +Complimentary refills -Poured from a large pot, it tasted like those yellow tea bags (IYKYK). Side notes: 1.) Make sure you check their hours online before going because they vary by day. 2.) 5% SF Mandate Surcharge added to all purchases. *Verdict: 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 d/t service. All the staff were friendly and patient! They answered my questions about the menu, provided recommendations, and checked in on me without being overbearing. One of my friends raved about the Turkish Breakfast here, so I'll have to return with a group to try it! read more

Lokma is a nice Turkish restaurant with a good amount of outdoor seating. We were able to bring the dog! Papas bravas: 7/10 Fried potatoes in a zesty sauce. It was a solid dish, I always like potatoes and this was a different take on fried potatoes. Zucchini dolmas: 8/10 I've had dolmas before but never a zucchini one. It has ground beef in the center and I enjoyed this unique dish a lot. The sauce is nice and creamy. Braised Short rib: 6/10 Very tender meat, but on the bland side. There wasn't a sauce for it so it was less flavorful than other braised Short ribs I've had other places. Wild Alaskan halibut: 8/10 Definitely enjoyed the halibut more than the short rib. It was cooked perfectly so tender and flavorful. Service was good. I would come back to try more dishes. The overall food quality is solid, some dishes are better than others. read more
I've only had the breakfast at Lokma and it was delicious so I was definitely excited for their dinner menu options. Food ordered: Creamy Mushroom soup (7/10): a solid mushroom soup but I felt like it was missing something although not sure what. It was amazing when we dipped in the warm pita bread though. Calamari (8/10): I deeply enjoyed this dish and loved the tomato butter as well how the calamari was cooked. Manti (8/10): pretty good manti with the taste and portion size. Not my favorite manti in the city but could be a good second or third. Lamb chops (friend ordered this so no rating but he inhaled and cleaned his whole place) The service was excellent and all were extremely attentive to our needs and refills of tea and coffee even as they got busier. read more

Great food and very nice staff! We are regular visitors for brunch and always enjoy the warm atmosphere. Everything is fresh and delicious. Highly recommend Lokma! read more
Delicious food and amazing staff. Our party was able to join the Yelp waitlist and get seated right away! Choosing to sit outside and enjoy the nicer sf weather. We sat down and got to ordering. Deciding on the Turkish breakfast for two the lamb and beef burgers. We split the burgers and ate the Turkish breakfast family style. That burger was soooo juicy! I would highly recommend the combo of beef and lamb made for a not too oily bite. Of the Turkish breakfast sides I was a fan of the hazelnut spread and the honey dishes. And the flatbread was a perfect vehicle to dip and soak up all the yummy sauces. We also shared the watermelon mimosas which did have pulp it in. Although it wasn't overly watermelony it was still refreshing! Overall we enjoyed our meal and are excited to come again :) read more

This place scored high across the board! Service was great - such helpful and sweet folks Ambiance - clean, modern finish Food - AMAZING! we got the Turkish breakfast for two which included four eggs, Turkish sausage, pita, spiced olives, clotted cream with honey, tomatoes and cucumber, traditional hazelnut spread, feta and muhamarra. It was a light yet satisfying breakfast. The clotted cream and the hazelnut spread were the true highlights - great texture and not too sweet. We also got the papas bravas - it was such a nice snack on the side! Definitely get the Turkish breakfast!! read more
Came in with a party of two for dinner around 6pm on a Monday. We did not make a reservation and were given high top seats by the window. It's a cozy spot, and I was surprised they were able to seat that many people in that space. Dinner food was okay, all in all more like a 3.5/5 rating, but I was not wowed. You should double check with the waiter and clarify a few times if you have food allergies. My friend has a dairy allergy and we clarified a few times that meant no butter as well. We shared the calamari which was tasty. The texture of the couscous pearls, nuts, and the calamari was chewy and fun to eat each bite. My friend ordered the burger and really enjoyed that. As for my braised short rib, it was prepared nicely as I barely had to use my knife. I wish there was a flavorful sauce that it came with to dip the meat and potatoes. It was a solid meal overall but I probably won't come again for dinner. Perhaps I will check out the brunch as they are known for brunch more. read more
My favorite spot to get Turkish breakfast, I went here couple of times and it never disappoints! It feeds two people and you need to order extra pita bread to get full. Not bad for $42 for two people. It's get busy during rush hour , so go early if you can! read more
Cute, cozy Mediterranean brunch spot near Inner Richmond. The food was tasty and fresh. Portions are large, so eating family style was the move. Favorite dish was by far the Turkish breakfast spread, the platter comes with a good selection of toppings to go with some warm pita bread. It gets busy on the weekends, so would try to reserve ahead of time next time. Waited around half an hour for a table on Saturday. Traditional Turkish breakfast: 9/10 All the samplers were delicious! It was fun to sample each of the pita combinations. There was a sweet cheese and honey one as well as the Muhammara dip with a rich nutty spice. Greek yogurt pancakes: 8/10 Portions are huge! Pancakes are soaked in a creamy yogurt sauce, topped with blueberry compote. A tangy sweet and sour dish. Was a little sour for me but otherwise tasty. Turlu Omelet: 8/10 Ratatouille was so flavorful, fluffy eggs went well with the crispy potatoes. read more
Fabulous flavors! Very accommodating staff, offered a blanket for outdoor seating. So cute! The food was phenomenal. I am blown away. They accept reservations on Opentable. I recommend making a reservation as they get busy during dinner hours! read more
Came with 2 friends for 4:30pm dinner. We sat outdoors in the foldout wooden chairs. We had the zucchini dolmas, calamari - more pearl cous cous than pieces of calamari, mantri- Turkish dumplings, Karniyarik - stuffed eggplant with ground beef with saffron rice pilaf and Treleces for dessert. Everything was delicious! We ate every morsel. Helpings were not huge, but it was enough to share among three people. Lokma means "little bites" in Turkish. Service was attentive. Street parking only. read more
I've been coming here for a few years now, and it's one of those places that never loses its charm. The Turkish breakfast set for two is always the thing I look forward to. The spreads, the olives, the fresh cheese, the warm bread, the eggs with that perfect salty kick. Everything feels intentional and generous, and so is the service. The perfect place to get lunch with a friend on a Sunday afternoon. read more
Lokma is a real neighborhood gem in the Richmond. My friend suggested it as our TGIF dinner spot and we shared the citrus salad, trio of spreads, manti and lamb chops. All of the dishes were fabulous. I highly recommend the spreads to start. I was licking the spreads with my spoon even after we ran out of pita bread. It was that good. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly medium rare and the manti were fantastic mini-dumplings. The portion size is on the generous side so bring an appetite. Service was excellent and attentive. Food came out quickly. The restaurant is nice and cozy. Nite that it can get loud. With tax and tip, this was around $70 per person - it's great value. Highly, highly recommended. read more

Had brunch here with 3 others. It was the first time for each of us (one person had been here for dinner, but not brunch) and we all loved it. I shared the Turkish Breakfast for Two with one of the others and we had a lot of leftovers for me to take home. Loved all the little dishes in appearance, variety, and deliciousness. There were both savory and sweet items offered in the variety and none of it felt heavy. Plenty of food and went well with my drip coffee and her Turkish coffee. My other two dining companions had the Turlu Omelette with an addition of avocado and the Lokma Burger done as a lettuce wrap. Their dishes looked wonderful as well and they were each happy with their choices. The patty in the burger was thick and juicy and the half avocado on top of the omelette looked perfect... absolutely beautiful with no brown spots at all and perfectly creamy. Outside of it being a bit on the pricey side, it was a wonderful experience with friendly service and great food. read more
First time ever trying mediterranean & turkish food! So delicious and way more of a healthier option compared to other cuisines around SF. My friend and I shared the trio sampler that came w 3 different sauces and pita bread, as well as the greek yogurt pancake. We also shared a turkish coffee too. It was delicious but for the price of $5.50 and the amount you get.... not worth. Everything was beautiful and we were both very full at the end. Good service, nice ambiance. Limited seating inside but they do have some seating outside as well. read more
