“ Amazingly fresh and tasty food! Order at the counter, starting at the left and working your way to the right as you tell the person making your meal what you want and how you want it. As for me, I went with the chicken shawarma and falafel combo with rice, greens and loads of toppings— beet, pickles, cauliflower, olives, tomato and cucumber, hummus, tzatziki etc topped with delicious sauce. It’s a lot of food, and I enjoyed every bite. I loved the pickled vegetables, and I hope they keep that going. I ordered the fried and wasn’t super excited about them; wish they were more fresh. You bring your food to the table on a tray and they deliver the fries. Seems they source a lot of products from local farmers which is great. The space is clean, the tables and seats nothing fancy, and I went 40 min before closing and the door was open with a lot of cold air coming inside. I’ll be back for the food and if I’m not with a friend or my girlfriend I’ll probably take the food to go and sit in the park. ”
“ Okay, I adore this place! They’ve amazing food! I love that this place is like chipotle/subway, but for mediterranean food! I ordered the build your own bowl with falafel. Every ingredient added to the bowl was fresh and delicious. I loved the lentil soup as well. Their fries were good too. My spouse liked his falafel-chicken shawarma bowl. Their food was so good that I over-ate. I over-ate so much that I’d a tummy ache for a while after! ”
“ Super good Mediterranean food! Pretty empty at 3pm - I came before an appointment and the food was still super fresh and tasty. I ordered a hummus bowl. Good quantity. Really great for vegetarians and vegans, they had eggplant, cauliflower and garbanzo toppings that made it really filling with cauliflower. Really appreciated all the toppings that were available for free. I’ll for sure come here again. Only wish it was closer to my office downtown. Also so nice that it comes with soup! ”
“ This place is perfect for lunch! All of the ingredients were so fresh and delicious. I especially loved the complimentary lentil soup! I can’t wait to try different flavor combinations. The portions are also huge and I definitely have enough food for two meals. I highly recommend this place! ”
“ This place is absolutely delicious! It’s basically Chipotle for Mediterranean food, and you can choose from many different options. First, you choose the beach, then you choose the bowl type: salad, pita, rice, etc. Then, you can add countless toppings. And finally, you can add pita bread or fries or other options for a slight additional price. Overall, it’s extremely healthy and very filling meal! Glad I was able to try this place for he first time today. ”
“ Extremely dependable place. The lentil soup is complementary but low-key my favorite (I love my dal). Falafel bowl is great, comes with eggplants and cauliflower toppings as well which is unique. Always a 5/5 ”
“ Really great hidden gem in mission bay. If you have not been it's like a better version of Chipotle but Mediterranean instead of Mexican and it's delicious! Good fresh food that is super tasty unlike the other overpriced nonsense I've seen in SF. Get the chicken shawarma bowl with the rice, mixed greens, sumac onions, pickles, hummus, tzatziki, and then tahini too. Thank me later. ”
“ Delicious and more than I could put away in one sitting. Although I did try. Love the concept. And will be back regularly. ”
