I often go there for weekday lunch. Everything is great, but their lamb kabob is a must-try. The meat is so tender and juicy, and their pickup is handled very efficiently every time. Will stay a regular to this place!

Had their falafel wrap twice and it’s amazing! Get the lux if you want extra decadence but it was a bit too oily for me. Although love the eggplant.
The extra pita is so good! Chewy and slightly sweet.

Baklava is rly good but rly sweet haha

Four stars instead of five because the lamb shawarma was quite dry and the second time the falafels were quite burnt.

An okay Mediterranean fast food place. They serve a variety of plates and wraps. The food is good but not great. Houyvet plenty for your money, and it's tasty, but you can get better. The place is a little messy, but fine to sit in though it's mostly takeout.

The food was so good with a very generous portion! Would definitely come again for takeout. However there is no ambiance inside. The restaurant is pretty much used for storage and there is no music playing.

Great new find. We were taking a break from being at the hospital and found this place. So delicious and great price. The staff was cool too. Their hummus was delish, just ate it up before I could remember to snap a photo. 9 minute, easy walk from UCSF hospital, check it out

The shawarma was great. Finally found Shawarma mixed beef with beef not only lamb. It was kind of dry but overall was great. The owner was so nice. He gave us Flafel because it was our first time and it was good. I will definitely go back whenever I get a chance to go back to San Francisco..

The staff here is so kind. They gave us free falafel and that falafel was really great! We also got the chicken shawarma and the lamb/beef shawarma. The fries were very well seasoned. They have desserts like baklava. Plenty of space to sit inside. They have Arabic music in the background which really gives you a middle eastern feel. Would recommend this place and will definitely be coming back.

Delicious would be an understatement to describe how amazingly delicious the food at this restaurant is. Not only is the meat HALAL, but they have options for everyone whether you want something vegan, vegetarian, keto, full of protein, or just overall healthy food. The flavors are authentic and the food is extremely fresh. The meat is beyond juicy and the falafel is so crisp and the absolute BEST I’ve ever had (highly recommend it with tahini sauce and shattah). Also, the potions are super generous! I love that this location is so clean, affordable, and aesthetic and conveniently located next to Chase Center and UCSF. The owners are extremely kind and humble folks. The service has been nothing but amazing every single time I’ve stopped by here. I love that I can either grab something quick on my lunch or I can invite a friend to sit down for a delicious dinner. I can’t wait to come back and try more menu items!! Thanks Mediterranean Aroma!!
