What People Are Saying About Sunrise Deli & Cafe

Residents recognize that the Outer Sunset is often synonymous with cheap heaping portions of delicious Asian cooking. But Sunrise Deli is the avenues' stop for some worldy cuisine outside the Far East. The bare-bones decor is accented by old-world hookah paraphernalia (not for customer use) and dusty shelves of tahini and grape leaves, but the Middle Eastern cuisine--tabouli, babaghanouj, hummus and the like--behind the glass deli case is made fresh and moves quick. Sidewalk passersby gawk at the rotating shawarma meat hanging in the front window, and those who wander in get giant sandwiches spilling with the shaved lamb or chicken. Vegetarians and carnivores alike dig into the restaurant's mainstay: freshly fried falafels in lavish or pita bread with the usual toppings plus potatoes or avocado.

I love sunrise deli! They have really good falafels and hummus and the prices are fair. The location isn't much to look at but who cares when the food is good.

I really enjoy eating at the cafe stand, the prepared falafel is fried right in front of your eyes and the hummus and tahina is delicious. The market is also a great place to find everything you need to make your own falafel and hummus at home. The staff can also be very helpful, though I have not talked with them too much.

Ever since the old owner Leila sold this quaint little deli in the sunset district, the quality of the food has gone down tremendously. I used to like getting fresh falafel balls and hummus from Leila. Also she made the best kibbeh (appetizer). Now everything is more greasy and not always fresh. It depends on who is behind the counter if you receive a smile. Its very disappointing what has happned to this little deli. The food is not bad, but definitely not as great as before.
