Best Turkish Restaurants in Haight

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.

Excellent dishes and service. I ordered the lamb shank, and it was absolutely fall-off-the-bone fantastic. I’ve been to Presidio Kebab several times, and it keeps getting better. Excellent quality food, plated in food magazine fashion, with flavors that burst in my mouth. My family and I will be going back for New Year’s Day 2025. /s/ Alfonso Faustino

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.

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.
