It was late after a show we were hungry with no place to go. We googled restaurants and found this spot. What a refreshing little place. The food was fantastic, the service was fast, the place was clean, and the owner was a wonderfully kind man who met our every need. I highly recommend anything on the menu as well as the hot tea and all the wonderful deserts.

4.5 will be my Rating Chicken gyros Chicken semi cooked, Didn’t like it, though they cut it off the grill but smelly inside Apart from that everything was delicious!

★★★★★ 5.0 Ali Shirazi · Nov 2024

Had an absolutely lovely time at this cozy cafe. We ordered a combo gyro plate and two gyro wraps (1 combo, 1 lamb/beef) thinking we’d have just enough to satiate our hunger, but we ended up taking an entire gyro wrap home! The portion sizes are generous and we received great service. The Turkish black tea smelled amazing and was a delicious end to a great meal. Also loved their hot sauce; it satisfied the kick I wanted without overdoing the heat. Ultimately, the price of food, portion sizes, quality, and overall cleanliness made this a spot we’ll be sure to come back to next time we’re in San Francisco.

Very nice little Turkish cafe. I had the lamb and beef gyro. The hot sauce was very tasty and not too spicy. They have some items off the menu, such as Iskandar (my favorite) so check the order kiosk if you're looking for something else. The proprietor and employees were very friendly and the cafe was clean.

Food is absolutely delicious and authentic! I loved the spicy red sauce! Special thanks to the owner. He was very attentive and even got me a hot tea cause he saw that I was cold! Also I highly recommend to try they desserts!
