    Freshly made falafel, hummus. The cucumber and yogurt salad did not have the unpleasant, sharp, sour taste as I have had elsewhere. This tasted super fresh. Kababs were tender and tasty. Delicious food. Great prices. Great location. Friendly service.!

    I was a long, longtime customer of what used to be in this location, Ali Baba's Cave. After a few years of mourning, I tried this place out. What I got was very solid shawarma, creamy and delicious hummus, and friendly/phenomenal service. While it isn't Ali Baba's in my heart, if you're in the mood for Mediterranean, it shouldn't disappoint.

    Great local spot. I've come in maybe 3-4 times and I've liked everything that I've tried. My husband and I like their chicken wrap and falafel. They have a good menu with Mediterranean and American (burgers) options. There's seating inside, it's clean with extra drinks and snacks to buy inside. The owner is very kind and always helps me with the menu and ordering. He speaks English and Spanish, maybe another language too. Definitely a place worth trying with great service.

    Upon walking in you were greeted with a very friendly staff that spoke Spanish and English! They were very accommodating with answering questions about the menu and suggesting things I might like. I ordered the chicken Shawarma wrap and as I waited the owner let me try a complementary falafel as a taste test. I sat down to enjoy my meal and the ambiance was inviting with other tables filled with chatter and continual guest coming in to order for to-go. I will be coming back and I'm happy the neighborhood has a new spot!

    I was heading to a movie at The Roxie and parked near SF Grill. I'm all about Mediterranean food, so decided to stop in. I ordered the falafel sandwich and was not disappointed! The falafel were crisp on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. The lavash was nicely toasted. I requested shatta to be added (love me a spicy wrap). The interior is simple and clean. The staff are kind, warm, and attentive. Stop in for a yummy meal!

    There's a new Mediterranean place that opened up a few days ago. Food is amazing. I ordered mixed grill plate and meat is well marinated and tender and delicious. It came with a variety of salads, pita bread and hummus We also got Chicken Shawarma. I've tried shawarma in many places and this one is the best - very juicy and savory.

    The falafel had to a crispy shell, and was fried to order: piping hot, served on a bed of hummus. The shawarma sandwiches were flavorful. I requested the spicy taking sauce to be added. Clean and friendly service. Check out out of your in the SF Valencia area.

    The owner was super friendly and courteous. The food was excellent I had the mezza plate and it was big enough to share! Absolutely delicious. The falafel is freshly made which is a plus! The restaurant is clean and it has a good atmosphere!

    The owner is truly so sweet. We were greeted with some free falafel to try and it's some of the best I've had. Shawarma was excellent. Charred pita came with it and it took it up a notch plus next level hummus.

    Very delicious! Tried a variety of different meats and was very pleased with the taste ! Very nice service, I liked that the food was served on ceramic plates. The temperature was perfect, everything was super fresh. Highly recommend to try it ! + the interior is really clean and they have nice tall ceiling which makes the ambiance really pleasant !

    Chicken Shawarma.
    Daniel G.

    Needed a quick bite, dropped in for a Shawarma. The lady behind the counter was really nice. She loaded the Shawarma up with chicken, veggies, sauce, and grilled it perfectly before serving. It was really delicious. I highly recommend this new restaurant.

    I don't know but it looks delicious

There was complimentary bread which was insanely good and fluffy and warm plus tahini and an onion tomato sauce I think along with radishes and olives. We are not olive ppl sadly but I tried one and it was pretty okay. The service was great and all the servers were super attentive and accommodating. The Stuffed falafel was so good and huge 1 is enough for 2 people. The mosabaha was very refreshing and so good. The meat combo was good overall and everything was very herbally spiced, I wasn't impressed by the lamb tho but the kebab, hummus, and chicken were great! I haven't had Mousakhan before so not sure how it should taste but to me it was sweet and savory with really well cooked chicken. I honestly felt pretty healthy overall cause I was eating hella veggies and everything tasted so fresh. The kunafa was good we got it crispy and was yummy imo but was a lil oily (I think this is normal tho). Arab food isn't really spicy but it is spiced and very herbal which I felt in the food here, I appreciate that chili sauce is provided for the spice lovers. Overall, would highly recommend. It was about $100ish for everything and they recently increased their prices but tbh the portion sizes are huge and I feel like it is so worth it we had hella leftovers. If we had 4 ppl instead of 2 it would've been perfect portions for everyone.

    We've come across and heard about Old Jerusalem before and felt like having middle eastern food…read moretonight, so we took a chance and tried them out. When we arrived at around 7:30 pm, there were tables available. It's a comfortable cafe-like restaurant with mural paintings on the wall. Service was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the food wasn't as good as the ambiance and waitstaff. ***OUR PICKS*** BEEF SHAWERMA ENTREE ~ the beef was overly salted, saffron rice was ok, hummus was really thick, like peanut butter. My guy ordered this and thought it was average. 3/5 LAMB SHISH KEBAB WRAP ~ this was my dish. I ate one half of the wrap and it only held two cubes of lamb meat. The lettuce and tomatoes made the wrap bland. The meat was seasoned, but everything was plain, so it needed more seasoning. Honestly, this was missing flavor! I'll have to add something to it when I eat the rest of this wrap at home. 2.5/5 HALF ROASTED CHICKEN AND RICE ~ Our friend ordered this dish. It needed more sumac. This tasted like plain roasted chicken. Maybe it needs more seasoning while marinating. It wasn't dry, so that's a relief. Rice was ok and it wasn't dry or soggy. 3.5 We've been spoiled and have had better food in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Nothing stood out for any of us. Prices are a bit high for what you get. Sadly, probably won't be back.

We loved the Combo appetizer plate which came with generous portions of 9 different items. I loved everything ! I'm an eggplant lover and two of the dips were eggplant based . My new favorite dip is the Mercimek Kofte which is a red lentil based chunky dip ; I would've guessed garbanzo bean based dip. The Haydari dip was also super addictive, a thick creamy dip made of kefir cheese and Greek yogurt. So many delicious but gut healthy items of the combo plate; which comes with thin lavash bread. Also loved the red lentil soup, which was warming on a rainy day. I thought it was flavorful without being overly spiced or too thick. My husband enjoyed the lamb kebabs. Tender juicy cuts of lamb that were well seasoned , comes on a bed of salad and rice. We also liked the charred red peppers and onions on the kebab . Service was sufficient Overall great little find for dinner !

    New favorite Mediterranean place!…read more This is about a 15 min walk from where I live so I'll be coming here more often. Big fan of the portions at this restaurant. We ordered the combo plate which came with a lot of Pita bread, definitely enough to share among 4 people. Dishes came with a big helping of hummus too. I personally got the Kofte Kebab which filled me up. I had enough to bring home for lunch the next day. Getting a frozen yogurt at Easy Breezy is a must afterwards!!
