"If your day was filled with back-to-back meetings (and your t-shirt was inside-out the entire time), you might be in the market for comfort food. Abu Salim is here for you. The Haight spot has mood-boosting murals and cushy banquettes for you to sink into. Order the hummus topped with crispy beef and lamb shawarma, falafel stuffed with caramelized onions, sumac, and pine nuts—and pita to go with everything. By the end of the meal, you’ll hopefully have convinced yourself that no one actually noticed the t-shirt thing." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
