If you want a fresh homemade baklava this is the place, they have pistachio or walnut beside the fresh mozzarella w/ricotta Konafa, yummy Pros: Very solid mediterranian Cons: Weird neighborhood more

Simply the best 10/18/2008

Greek mediterranean food is one of my favorite I have tried pretty much everything that is on the menu, prices are pretty reasonable . This place would rate among the best I've tried. The place looks great, ingredients are so fresh that you could tell from the first look. The place is spotless, I strongly recommend it, try the kebab they have 4 or 5 types, you can go wrong with any, oh Falafel is just amazing and the shawerma oh baby, and do NOT forget their desserts just to die for wheeh.\r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r Pros: What to say but great Cons: bummer they close @9.00P more

Flakey Falafel 5/9/2007

Middle Eastern food is one of my favorites, I wouldn't call myself an expert but I have tried pretty much everything that is on offer in SF. This place would rate among the worst I've tried even beating a Stockton restaurant I tried about two years ago (just when you think you have tried the worst.)\r \r Firstly on walking in the place looks unfinished, like they are still waiting for something. As you try to come to terms with the very pricey menu you are set upon as to what is your selection. For a Falafel and soda I was out of pocket close to $10. Definitely on the pricey side. That would be fine if it was represented in what you got, but the food was bland to say the least. I felt the ingredients might not have been the freshest and the the place could have been cleaner for a realtively new restaurant and building. I wouldn't recommend it, but check it out for yourself, i think you will agreed.\r Happy Eating Pros: Great Location Cons: Just about everything bar location more
