Editorial Review for Truly Mediterranean – by Seth Lorinczi

In Short
Located right next to the Roxie Theater, this tiny place is all about functionality. A small counter with a few stools offers compact eating quarters, but most patrons enjoy this restaurant's offerings on the go. Middle Eastern fare includes falafel, shawarma, hummus and baba ghanoush.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

The Extras

Order an extra side of pita bread; the healthy sized portion of baba ghanoush will use up the bread provided quickly.

2 Star Rating: Below Average

10/28/2007 Posted by gosser

This is pretty average Middle Eastern food. Runny hummus, tahini like water, dry falafel, crappy salads - all the marks of mediocrity. But it's a hole in the wall in the Mission, so that gives it extra cred. San Francisco has almost no Middle Eastern food that's really good, so people don't have much to compare it with.

Pros: Late night, useful location

Cons: Mediocre Middle Eastern food

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Great falafel in the tradition of great falafel bars. Seating is at a minimum though, and they use flatbread, not pita for wraps, which is an interesting twist.

Pros: Food, Inexpensive, Quick

Cons: Not much seating
