My favorite take away food in SF. The food is so clean, I'd love to know how they cook their rice and vegetables. My go to is the chicken rice bowl with extra sauces. Highly recommended! read more

Five stars for Sumac! Thoroughly enjoyed their menu of food including their chicken rice bowl, red lentil salad, meatball wrap, carrot labneh, and banana pudding. Each dish was delightfully tasty and made with fresh ingredients. Personally, my favorite was the carrot labneh dip with pita bread. There was something so refreshingly delicious about the carrot yogurt dip! Also their cilantro dip was to die for :) read more

Loved the food here! We went there and placed an order for takeout. They told us to wait for 10 minutes and our food was ready. The bowls were delicious and the portion sizes were huge. The baklavas were tiny for the price and were just okay. read more

STUPID DELICIOUS. Get a wrap and I promise you won't be upset! The only thing I was a bit disappointed with was the hummus because it was pretty oily. read more

I've never met a hummus I didn't like. But I've also never met a hummus I loved as dearly as I did this one. The creamiest dreamiest hummus I've had outside of Israel ever. Clearly I'm in love. The roasted potatoes were good; came with an aioli we didn't remember till the taters were gone. Tabouleh was ok. But, the chickpea salad and the baba ghanoush were both phenomenal. Pita was good, too. Collectively made for a great spread; really good for sharing! read more

THE BEST falafel in the city hands down!! Super fast, really well priced, and absolutely delicious!

Sooo good, I had the chicken rice bowl and decided. to try the red lentil balls... so so good. I unfortunately had to take my lunch to the closest park and eat there because it's take out only and I was in the city for work. read more

Got this for take out and was delicious. We got the hummus, kofta bowl and kofta salad, soup, and another dip. Meat was good texture and flavor. The portions of everything were good size and spreads were fresh with the warm pita bread. We ordered online and our food was ready right when we got there. Can't wait to come back again and try something else. read more

Delicious! I've ordered from here several times and always enjoyed it. The soups are great, and I particularly like their chicken wrap. A great mix of flavors and I love the purple sauce that it comes with as well. The only downside is since they are pickup/delivery only and I live a good distance away, if I order delivery, sometimes the wraps can get a little soggy by the time they make it home. Keep that in mind if your delivery distance is far - you may want to go with a bowl instead. read more

The place is a hidden gem. There is no dining-in available but if you are looking for fresh, delicious Mediterranean food for a great price this local hot spot is a solid choice! read more

OMG, DELICIOUSNESS!! This place is a MUST for every foodie! The flavors dance in your mouth with each bite ! Another Reviewer calls it 'A Party In Your Mouth'. So true!! They do Istanbul Street Food with a Modern Twist. Sooooo good!! This was my first time trying SUMAC and they've got a loyal repeat customer with me. I hadn't finish the meal and was already thinking when I would order from them again! The two of us got the following to share family style: BUTCHER'S KOFTE RICE BOWL, BUTCHER'S KOFTE SALAD and spreads: BABA GANOUSH and Muhammara (they provided warm pita breads with the spreads. Sooooo delicious (I'm not a huge Baba Ganoush fan so that spread is just OK for me). Thank you Sumac!!! read more

3.5 stars. Very conveniently close to home for emergency lunch needs when we weren't able to get to the store and needed something quick. The food is quality and the staff are super nice. However, the overall amount of food that we paid for was lacking and was very overpriced. The rice bowl, as others have previously lamented, is way too small. It's mostly rice, very little meat and there's almost no vegetables in it which was super disappointing - maybe 2-3 bits of bell pepper total and no zucchini as shown in the photos. It was way too overloaded with onions, even for this onion lover, which was probably their way of cutting costs on other veggies. The wrap was pretty basic, great flavors but again not much in it - I think they might have missed adding chickpeas to it. We received a huge portion of cacik, but only 3 pieces of pita bread to eat with it. We tried our best to put as much as we could on our dishes, but there was so much leftover there wasn't really any way to otherwise consume it. Maybe it was an off day. We were hoping for this to be a frequent spot for lunch as we shift to more work from home, but we haven't found ourselves inspired to come here yet again. Probably will if we run into a lunch time jam again. read more

Everything was amazing. I can definitely see the dishes are made by chefs who know what they are doing as it can be seen from the texture of the pudding. It's always hard for me to eat outside being a Turkish chef, especially when going to have my own cuisine abroad. This was the best one in USA so far. It was such Moda, Kadikoy vibes read more

Just ordered for delivery and man was it good! Lentil salad, Butcher's kofte bowl, Chicken bowl, Cacik and banana pudding. It was all excellent! Everything was fresh and tasty! The meat and veggies were so fresh and OMG the banana pudding! The best meal I've had on this visit to San Francisco! Do not skip the banana pudding!! read more

It seems like I may be in the minority, but I was unfortunately a bit disappointed with the food here. I got the Kofte-Meatball wrap, which had a lot of flavor in it, but the texture was a bit much for me. The sauces were quite good though! I also really liked the ordering process, where everything was outside and streamlined. read more

The salads are amazingly tasty and delicious And I know their chicken wraps. Just make sure you check your order before you take it home sometimes they give you the wrong order.. read more

It was our first time here and I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful presentation starting with flawless online ordering and quick, convenient curbside pick up. The store front is elegantly put together and what I could see of the kitchen was pristine and sophisticated. Courtesy and speed were supremely in place, this is a well-managed operation. And...the food was delightful! We shared a generous kofte bowl. The well seasoned meatballs and the outstanding warm chick pea salad on top of fluffy basmati rice went beautifully with the included herb labne, we didn't need the hot sauce as we found the seasoning on the salad perfectly spicy. I think I could live on that salad! We also tried a side of their vinaigrette and sumac labne and loved both. The carrot labne will be a go-to party dip with warm pita and veg. I can't wait to go back and try other items! read more

Essentially a ghost kitchen, SumC serves impeccably flavored bowls perfect for those in their mid-20s looking to fill up on a reasonable budget. read more

Saw the wonderful reviews and decided to give this place a try! I ordered the chicken salad and thought that the portion size did justify the price. The chicken was so moist and flavorful and all of the greens were fresh and delicious! Will be back to try more but this place did not disappoint! read more

I live pretty much across the street from this place so eat here way too much. Everything is really good. Super flavorful, fresh, high quality ingredients. And the people who work there are great. Unfortunately they keep bumping up the prices to a point where its gotten ridiculously expensive. I realize its SF but the amount of orders this place gets and fact that its a take out only spot with limited overhead makes me think they're just being greedy now... read more

The best vegetarian food I have ever had so far! You will not be disappointed! I can't wait to tell my friends and family about it.

The chicken hummus plate is incredible. Enough food for two meals, creamy hummus, tasty chicken, veggies. Must get the sauces. The baklava is very nice as well as the banana pudding. My favorite take out in the area. read more

I ordered Uber eats on a business trip to SF, this may have been my best meal all week. The flavors are tasty and unique, and the food is healthy. I wish we had a Sumac locally. read more

We walked a huge circle around the city and saw we're headed back to our rental, hungry and thirsty when we lucked onto this place. It was delicious! Got the chicken rice bowl and it was so moist and flavorful with the sauces. Son got the couscous soup and he wants to go back for another bowl today! You should try it!! read more

Friendly staff, delicious and healthy food. I ordered their red lentil soup, baba ganoush -- both were great. My ultimate favorite so far is the chicken wrap. You get plenty of veggies, juicy chicken and great side sauces. Plus the price is super reasonable for the quality of the food. read more

Absolutely delicious. So uniquely flavorful. I had the opportunity to be in Istanbul twice briefly and I tell everyone that City had the best food of any I've ever been to. I didn't realize this was take out only - nor that it was Turkish food when I chose it. What a lucky choice it was. I'm not from SF and the price seems quite high for a non-bay-area person. But I'll let that slide for their top notch food. I had the "meatball" wrap with garbanzo salad. So delicious.Kofte Meatball Wrap read more

Man this place is as good as it's rubbery meatballs. It's not that bad, but my god the serving sizes make no sense. I finished all the meat and just had a giant bowl of chickpeas and rice left... it was so dry I couldn't finish it. The wrap was better but for $19 I've had better food at McDonald's. read more

Wow! Stopped to grab a bite before hitting the road, so glad we made this our last San Francisco stop! My partner got the Red Lentil Balls Wrap, it was incredible! The seasoning on the lentil burger mix was just phenomenal, and the texture contrast of the crunchy onions was awesome. I munched on the Chicken Wrap, which was chock full of delicious cooked veggies, spinach, and hot chicken! Very impressed with a chicken wrap that satisfied my cravings and still felt healthy. Still, the Lentil wrap was the show stopper! We ordered pick-up, and the food was ready super fast! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quick filling meal :) read more

I love this hole in the wall! It's at an unassuming corner off of Union street, but the quality of food was amazing -- and delivered fast! I ordered the köfte salad with added chicken, and I don't think I've ever had a better takeout experience. Everything was fresh, the meatballs perfectly cooked, chickpeas perfectly seasoned, and with ample vegetables of different variety. I highly recommend this location for a quick lunch spot. read more

It's hard to find a Turkish restaurant and I've been hoping to find a good one to start off with since I've literally never been to one. I love the ingredients that are frequently used in Turkish cuisine as I've been making a staple Turkish breakfast dish at home for the past few months. Aleppo pepper, yogurt, dill, hella olive oil yummmmm...so simple but with crazy amounts of flavor is always a win for the at home cook! My husband and I were in the Marina and wanted to see what would pop up on Yelp after searching "Turkish" food. Sumac was the first one that popped up and I was always interested in trying sumac as a spice (they always rave about it on Youtube cooking shows like Bon Appetit). We got the 'meatball' bowl and were very impressed how fresh, vibrant, and flavorful everything was. I loved dipping the meatballs in the provided labneh dip. With tip everything it was $18.88 which is kind of pricey for a bowl but it was very filling...chickpeas will do that to you! Good place to get to-go and head to the park to have a casual lunch picnic. read more

i love this place. the food is always fresh and delicious. the workers are always polite. so grateful to have a place like this in the neighborhood. my go to is the chicken wrap. so bomb. read more

Niche menu, and everything on it is done well. I find it a tad bit pricey for what it is and the fast-casual model, but you do get high-quality ingredients. Vegetarians rejoice: the lentil bowl is delicious and very filling! We've also had the chicken bowl, the muhammara and the baba ganoush. Everything was good. read more

Super good, quick Mediterranean spot in Russian Hill. I got the Kobte wrap which was decently sized and very good at a decent price point ($14). It came with two dipping sauce (one I think was tzatziki and the other was a red sauce with a bit of spice to it). Split the hummus with pita with my friend- only complaint here was there was too little pita for the amount of hummus provided (not a big deal, we just saved the hummus for another day). 10% off first time orders via their site was a nice bonus, and I'll be more than willing to pay full price next time I come back. read more

I was on a San Francisco trip with my girlfriend riding the bus from place to place and we got off on a random corner SO HUNGRY and saw this place and were like okay whatever let's just eat here and man on man did we find a happy accident with this place. I got the Meatball bowl and it was simply delicious. The bowl was popping with flavors, the sauce was delicious, the meatballs got better with every bite. I was over joyed that this place came across our day. Please give this place some love and give it a taste! read more
