“ I love Reem's. I always get the Pali Cali which is delicious. The baba ghanouj and falafel were also great. The cheesy phylo dessert was also amazing. The staff was super friendly and the space was cozy and comfortably accommodated our group of 5 at 7pm on a Friday night. My only complaint is that the musician was loud. ”
“ One of my favorite SF restaurants! Comfort food. Casual, relaxed atmosphere. Good food, beer and wine. ”
“ Stylish, tasteful and relaxed sophistication. A very California take on Middle Eastern classics. Falafel Salad is satisfyingly good, with enough of a savory crunch to satiate even the most avid of meat eaters. Perfect for a friendly catch up or a first date with someone very health conscious. ”
“ Amazing food/ flavors. Full sit down menu (counter service) but also great pastries & coffee. Shakshuka tart is a must ifykyk ”
“ Stumbled on this spot and was seriously impressed. The Arabic food was incredible. It was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What really stood out was the California twist. Fresh ingredients, creative touches, and nothing felt heavy or overdone. Every dish had its own personality, and everything I tried was just so good. You can tell they really know what they’re doing in the kitchen! ”
“ So I was asked by a friend to try their Pali Cali. I didn't even know what they look like but finally I gave it a shot today. It was good. The spices were very interesting. Chicken well done. Bread was very authentic. It was a good experience. Though I know a Mediterranean place is good from their falafel. Next on my list. Vibe: 5 stars - The Arabic music, fresh flowers, and a candle on the table ”
“ Very sweet restaurant. The Lady at the counter was honestly so sweet and the food tasted amazing! A little long wait for a salad and not many people there, but it was worth it! Bit pricy for the portion size. The Falafel was delicious!! ”
“ We ordered through Doordash. We got Pali Cali (rolled up), Hummus with slow-roasted lamb, and Damascus Lemonade. Since we picked up right when it was ready and it was piping hot so we found a street to eat immediately. Cali Pali was so juicy. Surprisingly, I liked the pickled onions on the Cali Pali - they were sweet! The hummus with lamb was good but I wish we received more then one pita bread for it... I made sure I ate my fill to the fullest before letting my partner take their bite first! ”
