Amazing food and service! We had the combo platter (various mezzes) and the kuzu incik (lamb shank), as well as some baklava and turkish coffee for dessert. Food was flavourful and tender (lamb fell apart from the bone). However, what really stood out was the excellent service. Not only were servers quick and attentive, but they also went out of their way to ensure we had proper sized portions (we got some extra lamb because our piece was on the smaller side). Overall, fantastic place for a meal.
A lovely restaurant, with extremely attentive staff and good food.Coming from around Europe, great Turkish restaurants are commonplace, so I was keen to try this restaurant in San Francisco.The setting is lovely, and as a solo diner they set me in a corner so I could look over the restaurant.The staff seem to have some sort of hive mind, always listening to what other people are ordering and whilst still talking to the waiter, part of your order will just appear on your table from someone else walking by!To start, I had the hummus - which was presented fantastically. It was really well blended and not grainy, but could have had more spices to flavour it - it was a little bland mainly just tasting of chickpea. The breads served with it were disappointing. This is usually my favourite part of eating at a Turkish restaurant, as the fresh cooked breads, served warm are amazing. Here they seemed like plain shop bought pitas and were spongy.For main, they made me a mixed shish with chicken and lamb, as on the menu they have them separately. This was good, although underwhelming compared to food at home. The pieces of meat were half the size and though and dry in comparison. The flavour is also missing a little of the chargrilled smoke you expect from a Turkish grill.Overall, a good meal, and I think I’m comparing it unfairly hence 4* instead of 3* for the food.

A consistent place on my lunch roster. Best kebab wrap in the city hands down. What makes this place stand out is their homemade sauce (amazing experience dipping your fries in it). Fries are crazy good too.I’d recommend this place to anyone and everyone except if I don’t like them.

This was my second visit. I asked that food be served hot, it was not. My lamb kebab was dry and not medium rare as I ordered. The wait staff don't pass on requests to the kitchen. I will not return.

Excellent service with delicious food. The spicy Ezme with pita so flavorful along with the bone in lamb for an entree. Quiet ambience on a Monday evening with comfortable seating and knowledgeable waiters. Great neighborhood spot.

Presidio Kebab is Turkish/Mediterranean restaurant. Having came back from the middle east, the flavors bought me back to Turkey and the rice bought me back to Egypt. I ordered the chicken kebab plate with a side of prawns. We also ordered the Musakka and the fish entrée. Food was fresh, large portions with great service. For dessert, the baklava hit the spot! I would not hesitate to come back!
I was in San Francisco for a few days on business. Stopped in here on a whim for some dinner and holy hell this place doesn’t mess around! I had the yaprak Doner plate with fresh bread for take out. I didn’t even call ahead and they had my order ready in 5 minutes. A filling dinner that is well-worth every

Great neighborhood place with really good Mediterranean food at reasonable prices. Parking can be a bit of an issue but it's the City so...
Very nice place for lunch. Very friendly staff and the beef and lamb wraps were excellent!
