Highly recommend!!During a road trip, our visit to Sumac became one of the highlights of the entire journey.I really enjoyed the meal. I highly recommend the meatball wrap and the meze flight. The mezes were just amazing. Worth trying, specifically Hummus, Baba Ganoush and Muhammara, definitely a real Mediterranean experience.The banana pudding is a must-try delight.Super kind staff, clean and great service.Thumbs up!

Absolutely delighted by my dining experience at this Mediterranean gem in San Francisco! The falafel wrap was beyond delicious, and knowing that the meat is halal added to my satisfaction. The banana pudding was a delightful surprise and easily one of the best I've ever had. Visited with friends, and we were all amazed by the fantastic flavors. Highly recommend this place for an authentic and satisfying Mediterranean culinary journey. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming!
First time at Sumac and I was so impressed the food was amazing! The owner was so nice and generous. We were not familiar with the food and she gave us samples and spent time explaining what it was and how it was made etc. we got the falafel wrap, lentil balls with rice and tabouli and the red bell pepper dip(I can’t remember the name). Everything was amazing! The owner even threw in bread pudding for free and it was so incredibly good probably the best I ever had! Can’t wait to go again! This is a pick up and go place no seating to eat. They are very efficient and fast we didn’t order ahead of time but it didn’t take long at all to get our food and they were very busy! Thank you for a wonderful Valentine’s Dinner you did not disappoint!

One of the best smells in the city is walking past this small to-go shop. The kofte bowl comes with five meatballs, rice and a delightful chickpea side dish. I really enjoy the collard soup from “soupchu”, the sister restaurant living in the same place. Their variety of dips and sauces (hummus, cacik, muhammara) are quite flavorful, ranging from creamy to sweet and sharp.The prices are as steep as the hill the restaurant is on top of, though they aren’t unheard of in this area.The issue with this place is that they regularly forget stuff or don’t communicate when they run out of things. One time, we ordered (paid for) extra pink sauce and it didn’t come in the stapled bag. Another time, they didn’t include utensils like they usually do. Last time, they didn’t give us the acme bread that came with our soups. Hope they iron that out at some point.
They wouldn’t accept my package which I don’t understand because this looks like a FedEx to me. 1 star

Love the simple menu at this place - there are only a few items but they all sounds so good. It's more of a ghost kitchen (no seating), so expect to take it to-go. I tried the chicken bowl, red lentil wrap, and banana cream pudding. My favorite was the chicken bowl. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and I loved the roasted veggies that came with it - felt super light and healthy. I also loved the red lentil wrap - the red lentils had a sweet legume flavor which I liked. I'd recommend getting the bowl over the wrap because it has more veggies and food! But both are good. The banana cream pudding was sweet but still light - a perfect end to the meal.

I was in the area and I tried this restaurant out. I ended up ordering the red lentil balls bowl to go. It only took about five minutes to come out and by the time I ended up walking to my car I was hungry the food was still warm, and I loved every bit of it. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. The sauce was also great. It went well with the entrée. Overall great experience great food I just wish there was a small table at least to sit outside because when I was waiting for my food, I had a stand. I understand the takeout only method, but at least have a few chairs for individuals to sit. Overall great experience I will be back.

It was takeout, and arguably the best I've had in a very long time. Literally to the point where my friend asked me if I wanted to try some of her food and I said no because I don't want the flavors of her food to interact with mine because I was enjoying my food so much. Best Mediterranean food I've had since living in the Bay Area by far!
