"We could easily pick this halawa cookie out of a lineup—and that’s not just because the entire thing is encased in toasty sesame seeds. This Arab bakery’s version has a savory backbone with nuttiness from the housemade halawa. Also, it’s vegan, for all the plant-based dessert obsessives out there. The housemade halawa and sesame seeds all over Vegans, or people who yawn at “classic” chocolate chip cookies “So moist and sesame-y. Salty, sweet, perfect.”" - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"This Arab bakery in the Mission is an expert in all things oven-baked—and that mastery is on full display during brunch. The shakshuka in a fiery tomato and red pepper sauce is excellent, as are any of the mana’eesh with crispy, golden brown edges. In the sweets department, they also have a daily rotation of pastries, plus a chocolate chip halawa cookie we’d dash across Valencia blindfolded for." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"We’re big fans of whatever comes out of the oven at Reem’s, the Arab bakery and restaurant with locations in the Mission and Ferry Building. Making an appearance at OSL are their Arab-style lamb garlic fries and hummus with pita chips." - julia chen 1
"Chef Reem Assil has balancing and powerful commitments to her roots, San Francisco, and cooking really, really good food. The Arab street food restaurant on Mission Street is the spot for falafel wraps, batata harra, fattoush salads, and more. As her wildly popular restaurant celebrates its 10th birthday, Assil also launched a Sunday supper series well worth attending." - Dianne de Guzman
"On its surface, Reem’s is a charming, sunny, Mediterranean bistro. Upon further inspection, one realizes that Reem’s is putting out some of the most impressive and complex Arab grub in the city. Everything is fresh, everything is proper, and everything is meant to be shared. Order a mezze platter and a couple of flatbreads, then come back for full orders of your favorite bites." - Matt Tillquist
