The 18 Best SF Restaurants For A Birthday Dinner - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"A trip to this Palestinian and Jordanian spot in Duboce Triangle is one of the best presents you could give to yourself. Digging into the whole-fried branzino topped with a refreshing mint and onion salad releases incalculable levels of serotonin to our brains, and we always leave wanting to eat their excellent mezze platter with hummus, lebna, muhammara, and baba ganoush every day for the rest of our lives. Go all in on a big spread, and don’t forget the puffy, za’atar and sumac-covered bread, and garlicky chicken shish tawook." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
