Die besten türkische Restaurants in Downtown / Union Square

Last night we had a charming dining experience in a new and chic Turkish restaurant. The food was good and the service and hospitality excellent. I enjoyed a variety of appetizers whose names I fail to remember but whom I would recognize immediately if I saw them again. And I will see them again. Because the minute we left my dining partner and I said to each other. “That was great— we are coming back for more.”

The people who run this restaurant are so accommodating and eager to please. Food is very good with lots of options from which to choose. I love their pita bread and the house-made condiment that comes with it. The dolmas are excellent. The location is really convenient to Union Square and to the SF Playhouse. Be sure to try one of the desserts.

Had an amazing experience last night at Taksim. True to its culture, it indeed blended the old traditional Turkish cuisine with a modern touch by having locally sourced sustainable ingredients. Food is really good! The kitchen is so organized. Our host named Birkan made our dining experience a great one. Very attentive to our needs (not to mention he’s very good looking). I highly recommend this restaurant.

We had hummus and pita. They both were clearly homemade and outstanding. It was perhaps the best pita I ever ate. We had trout, and it was cooked to perfection. Absolutely delicious. The service team was super friendly and attentive. I would happily return to this lovely restaurant with great food and very friendly welcoming service.

Love this neighborhood restaurant. The staff is so accommodating to anyone’s dietary needs. I have been there for lunch and dinner and will definitely return.
