Came here for the 4th of July and literally no one there. Which was awesome and relaxing. The food did take a bit long to come out, but due to cooking everything fresh and hot as soon as you get your plate. My family and I loved it so much the ambiance the hostess and the servers were very kind and helpful. We love the culture and definitely their food!! Prices are worth the quality! We will definitely be back here again.

Atmosphere is good. Food is also good overall, the chicken shawarma wrap is excellent. The kebob is average at best.

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional service we received from Mariam for our recent work event. Mariam, the manager, was extremely helpful and friendly throughout the entire process.

The restaurant offers an excellent dining experience with delicious food and great service, particularly thanks to the waiter named Alaa. Alaa was not only quick with the orders but also very kind with the kids.

My friend took me to this place in San Francisco on my birthday. I love Mediterranean cuisine and this being one of the new places that I am visiting I was very curious and at the same time eager to try out their food. The server’s name was Tarjaniye (I hope I am spelling it correctly) a very polite gentleman who served us throughout with our orders, first of all we got their yogurt drink one plain and one with mint. Let me tell you it’s very soothing and delicious besides being good for your gut. As an appetizer we ordered Kibbeh, a three piece mixture of bulgur wheat, onions, and ground beef, it’s delicious you don’t even need a sauce though they provide you with one. I ordered Chicken Shish Tawook from the main course and Chicken Shawarma, served with rice onion and tomatoes. As we were enjoying the food, I have to mention that the Tawook was so delicious that I have never eaten shish tawook where when you bite the chicken piece it just melts in your mouth. I have tried in many places and it’s either hard, burnt but never this way and one must eat to understand what I am saying. The dessert was Kunafa, for someone sugar is not an issue, must try, delicious. I went next time for my family to try this because all good things must be shared and tried again and again. I highly recommend this place. The parking can be limited and in that case you might have to do street parking, but every bit is worth it.

I go the South San Francisco once a month for a wrestling event and I always look for new food to try around the area. I found Dehab restaurant and cafe through @Yelp. Pulling up, I thought I was in the wrong area because the restaurant is in an industrial area with auto body shops and warehouses. Boy was I wrong. The restaurant might be small, but they are producing authentic Mediterranean food. I ordered the Dahab mixed grill for $24.99, Three skewers of our most popular grilled kabobs, Shish Kabab, Chicken shish tawook, and grilled onions and tomatoes along with a house salad. I love how I was able to eat the food with out adding salt or pepper because spices on the kabobs were perfect and legit. I also got the three pieces of the spinach pie, filled with a mixture of spinach, combined with onion, pine nuts, Pomegranate molasses and seasoning pie. The bread was fresh rolled and baked when order. I definitely could tell everything was fresh made today. The waiter told me on Sundays they have a Belly dancer during dinner, so I am definitely coming back.
