The Best San Francisco Restaurants for Middle Eastern Food | Eater SF

"Komaaj is all about Iranian food, and here it comes in all forms. Komaaj Pila Bazaar focuses more on lunch and Iranian grocery products, but the wine bar space is more for lingering over a mezze platter with a glass of wine from the Caucasus region, which encompasses Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and northern Iran. For something different, try the sweet and sour chicken stew folds in walnuts with pomegranate, apricot, and raisins, and don’t skip the nonalcoholic beverages which feature drinks like sharbat sekanjbin, a mint and vinegar drink sweetened with honey." - Dianne de Guzman
