Zitouna

Very good food! This was a great find for us. We are visiting from out of town and just googled healthy food and found this place. We had 6 of us eat here, all different orders and all of us were extremely pleased with our meal. And the owners are amazingly kind and friendly.

The food is absolutely amazing! Super fresh, flavorful, and healthy. The staff is very warm and attentive. We ordered family styled and EVERYTHING was excellent! Generous portions, this is my new favorite Mediterranean restaurant!

We love this place. Foods are very tasty. You must try their salads.

Beautifully located on a lively street in a great neighborhood, this Mediterranean restaurant stands out with its stylish interior and impressive high ceilings. The decor is tasteful and creates an open, airy atmosphere. The food is of high quality, fresh, well-prepared, and flavorful. Portions are very generous, which is great value, but can be a bit much if you’re not a big eater or short on time. Staff were friendly and welcoming, though service could have been a bit quicker. One small drawback: the acoustics. The high ceiling makes it a little tricky to have a soft-spoken conversation. Still, a solid experience overall, especially if you’re looking to enjoy a slow, relaxed meal.

Good spot for big group since you order at the counter and they bring it out, food came out fresh. Local feel, reasonable prices. They were of hummus the day we went so must be good. The app plate was ~$45? Served us two pretty well.

Amazing food! We loved the tapas platter and the mixed shawarma plate! Incredibly friendly staff and family that we were thrilled to support. Will absolutely be back and recommend Zitouna to others!

St glad I found this place! It just opened in May. Nice, bright, cute vibe. Food is delicious. Excellent service. Will be back again to try out some more items!

gluten free friendly. My wife had the Shawarma plate with chicken lamb and beef. I had the Greek version of a California burrito. A wrap with lamb and french fries and all the fixings in it. Delicious! The kids like the dish with the fried Filo dough and potato and olive filling. we also had a side of beats which was delicious. Great addition to the neighborhood did I mention BYOB?!

Wow! What an adorable and tasty new restaurant! Visiting from Southern California and wish I could bring it back home with me! Absolutely delicious food in a chill, cute spot. All the beloved fresh Mediterranean flavors with a Tunisian twist. Friendly service. A must try!!!

Just got take out this time around, but was warmly welcomed by the charmingly hospitable host. The halloumi caprese was very flavorful and fresh, as was the veggie salad - the portion size was a little light for dinner, but it had a good serving of warm seasoned vegetables which was really good. The baklava was as good as it looked. Glad to have this place in the neighborhood!

I came in yesterday and the shakshuka was delicious and very well seasoned and flavorful. The service was great too, they were very kind.

Lamb kebabs cooked to order - rare! Tabbouleh salad - finely chopped parsley, tomatoes, mint, bulgur wheat - lemon dressing Zitouna salad - Fattoush with chicken shawarma and halloumi cheese Salmon plate with seasoned rice, salad, hummus and pita Falafel Kunefa Mixed Lamb Beef Shawarma wrap/tahini sauce with crispy fries Everything is delicious - fresh and beautiful!

Just what this neighborhood was missing and BYOB- We tried takeout from this new Mediterranean spot and loved everything! The chicken shawarma wrap was packed with flavor, and the garlic sauce is honestly to die for. The halloumi wrap was delicious too, warm and grilled. We also got the spicy potatoes (super garlicky and flavorful), babaganoush (creamy and smoky), and the brik fiselle (YUM and flaky). Their lemonade was super refreshing and went perfectly with the meal, and the desserts were a great sweet finish. Everything was really well-priced for the quality and portions. Definitely worth checking out, and if you dine in, they're BYOB which makes it even better! Can't wait to go back!!

Amazing. Delicious. Divine. A wonderful new addition to the neighborhood! And the staff/owner are so kind. The space is also super cute. I recommend any of the salads, the mint lemonade, the falafel, and any of their sweets! Haven't made it through the entire menu but excited to work my way through it.

The best part of having an appointment on the other side of the city is trying new spots that I usually wouldn't...only because there's similar restos closer to me. Zitouna opened in May 2025, taking over Layaly that closed in 2019. Visited on a Monday during lunch and there was only one table dining in. Fast-casual service, order and pay before seating yourself. M E N U Mediterranean with Tunisian and Jordanian touches - cold + warm apps, salads, pita/wraps, kebabs, and shawarma. Affordable pricing with nothing over $24.99. F O O D * Lamb Shank w/ hummus, salad, rice, pita ($24.99): https://tinyurl.com/4b7jsjhm I appreciate the meaty lamb shank that I was able to stretch to two meals but it was on the tough side and needed to be braised longer. I'm used to Mediterranean and Middle Eastern fare being reliant on spices, herbs, and/or citrus for flavor so I was surprised that the lamb was so salty. Served with warm pita, creamy hummus, greens dressed with a very sour vinaigrette, and fluffy basmati rice. For my friends' takeout, I ordered Mixed Shawarma w/ marinated lamb + beef, chicken, and kofta ($18.99) and the Lamb Shank ($24.99). They said, the food was ok, preferring the lamb shank over the mixed shawarma. S E R V I C E Warm, welcoming service. The dine in order took awhile to come out (25 minutes) so I wished they served the pita while waiting for your order. A M B I A N C E Love how they brightened up the former Layaly space - whites and greens with décor rooted in nature. There's about a dozen tables indoors with sidewalk seating and back patio in the works. P A R K I N G Ridic hard street parking even on a weekday. Overall, I didn't love my dish but Zitouna is new and has potential.

Zitouna means olive or olive tree in Arabic. Delicious Mediterranean & Tunisian food served here in this beautiful & clean space with white walls adorned with stenciled black birds, and touches of green. Love their chicken kebab plate here. The mix kebab plate is also delicious - I like to share this as I can't eat it all myself. My husband recently tried their Kofta Burger and it was such a great burger --well seasoned, flavorful, juicy and meaty. It was Definitely one of the better burgers we tasted anywhere. Love their labneb and pita too. The pita served in a small woven basket, very cute. This is a counter-service restaurant meaning you order and pay for the food first before eating. Lovely proprietors with kind service. Located on Clement between 25th & 26th Ave.

Zitouna has quickly become my new go-to spot for incredibly fresh and delicious Mediterranean food, whether I'm dining in or grabbing takeout. Everything I've tried so far has been absolutely fabulous! Their tapas and small plates are perfect and allow you to sample a wonderful variety of their offerings. The flavors are vibrant, and you can tell every ingredient is incredibly fresh. I've ordered takeout twice already, and I'm consistently impressed with the quality. My absolute favorites so far are the Falafel Wrap it's perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor and the Chicken Shawarma Plate, which is just so succulent and perfectly seasoned. I'm so excited to work my way through the rest of their menu. If you're in San Francisco and looking for authentic, mouth-watering Mediterranean cuisine, Zitouna on Clement Street is an absolute must-try! The restaurant is clean, trendy and service is excellent and kind.

LOVE Mediterranean food and this place does it just right. Finally, a really solid dinner option so close to home. We tried the shawarma wraps, both a chicken and lamb/beef. BOTH were fantastic and full of flavor. Even though I was just picking up, I could tell the staff was very warm and welcoming. I can't wait to go back and dine in for some nice little date night action.

WOW! What a gem! Went to lunch with my dear friend and had an absolutely delicious meal. The space was bright, spotless, and had a clean, simple ambiance that felt welcoming without trying too hard. The service was outstanding--super friendly and attentive without ever being overbearing. And the food... holy wow. So clean, beautifully spiced, and incredibly fresh. I had the lamb and beef shawarma wrap and baba ghanoush, which was hands-down the best I've ever had. The falafel? Spot on. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. I'll definitely be back. Honestly, if I still lived in SF, I'd be here weekly--at least!

A new hidden gem! Great service and food is amazing, flavorful! You can taste the quality ingredients. Turkish coffee and chicken shawarma are must haves. Comparable to Mazra's. IYKYK. Can't wait to be back already. This will be weekly stop for us now.

I don't have Greek food that often but this Greek restaurant was so good. The chicken Shwama was excellent. The service was very friendly and the overall ambiance of the place was amazing. I give them 5 stars . I highly recommend this place

Legit menu, very authentic cuisine! Open relatively late for the neighborhood (9PM) The owner was very nice too, really enjoyed our dinner.

Amazing customer service. The food was amazing. The chocolate baclava was my fav. Will definitely be back.

I am planning to make a reservation for a friend's birthday at this restaurant so I told my husband to check out Zitouna today. We arrived at lunch and it was quiet until people started coming. The restaurant is small with nice decor and clean. We were welcome by the owner, Ana. Coincidentally, my friend who we are celebrating her birthday at this restaurant in a couple of months was also dining with her friend. We then exchanged hello. We chose our table with 4 seats. I thought the two seats table is kind of small. The owner said they just opened a month ago. There is no server. We got the menu & then I walked to the cashier table to order & paid including the % of tip. Ana said this way it makes the process runs smoothly. We ordered the Babaganoush for dip. My husband ordered Lamb Kebab and I had the Mixed Shawarma Plate. It did not take long for the food to arrive after we ordered. When my husband tried the other new restaurants, he will say "it's okay". But this time he said the lamb kebab was very good. We enjoyed the dip with slices of pita. I liked the variety with the Mixed Shawarma Plate and it was seasoned and tasty. Overall the food was delicious, the owner Ana was pleasant and the ambiance was really good. I suggested to put a hook in the toilet for purse or jacket. Ana said it was a good idea. I recommend this restaurant and hope to come soon with other group of friends.

Love this restaurant!!! From the amazing food, to the great service and ambiance! Zitouna is a new gem in the Richmond District! Do yourself a favor and go get some delish Mediterranean food! You will not be disappointed! The food is so fresh and flavorful. We had a great experience every time we have gone since their opening!!!!

Came here with my husband for an early dinner. It was actually our first date together since having a baby. So glad we stumbled upon this gem. The interior was well-decorated, spacious, and clean. The food was AMAZING. Loved the tapas platter option which allowed us to try 7 different tapas. We also tried the mixed shawarma platter and a couple desserts. Everything was delicious. The service was superb. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We spoke with Meddie, he was so kind and approachable. He answered our many questions about the dishes, you can tell he really loves what he does. We will definitely be returning and this will be our go to when we have family visiting.

Terrible wait time, my boyfriend and I arrived at 8:15 ordered and didn't get our food until 8:50. It took us 20 minutes to get water to the table and another 10 minutes to get glasses and our silverware didn't come until the food came. The chicken was super dry and favorless. The kafta was overcooked, and lacked flavor. The hummus had ZERO cumin or lemon. Rice was served warm at best. And salad little to no dressing. The photos may look good but this is truly a case of looks can be deceiving it's basically Mediterranean food food for people that don't know Mediterranean food. It's like going to taco bell thinking your eating Mexican food.

Updated Menu! Mmmm Come try this place it's so yummy! Great atmosphere for enjoying your meal :)

Amazing fresh food. So good. Wonderful menu with a broad variety of options. Lovely service and environment. Huge portions. We will be back!

Loving it, already been 3 times and maybe will go for a fourth today... So happy they are in the neighborhood; some of the best tasting Mediterranean food in SF!

We came about 6:30 PM on a Monday. Parking in the area is horrendous and we ended up parking on Geary Street, 1 1/2 blocks away. It is a very charming restaurant, clean, tastefully decorated and the tables reflected that. You order your food via a counter and your meals are brought to you. The owners are very pleasant and accommodating. We started by sharing an exquisite Brika (ground beef, eggs, spices wrapped and fried in a spring roll wrapper). We wanted the lamb shanks but unfortunately they ran out of it. Maybe because they close on Tuesday an d didn't want to stock too many supplies. Afterwards we had 2 dinner plates, a lamb/beef shawrma dish and lamb kebabs. Both came with salad, hummus, rice, and pita. The lamb kebabs were wonderful. The shawrma plate meat was a little tough. The sides such as the salad, and hummus, and rice were all tasty. Their drink menu is limited to non-alcoholic items. The water came in an enclosed pitcher which was ice cold and quite refreshing. There are some minor downsides in a new restaurant opening. The chairs are very uncomfortable and the metal sides kept poking at my associate. The very hard cushion was also uncomfortable. Some padding would have been helpful. Additionally, we did not receive a receipt for our charged meals and I had to look up the amount on our credit card site. These inconveniences can be overcomed. We will probably return with our extended family to sample their cuisine which is both tasty and a good value. I would rate it a 4+; its not quite a 5 but I'm sure it will be in the near future.

If you want your taste buds to throw a party, get this Mediterranean catering ASAP. The falafel was crispy magic, the tzatziki and garlic sauce could end wars, and the lamb made me weep happy tears. Guests fought over the last mint lemonade, so next time I need to order another pitcher. I highly recommend for instant foodie joy! Five stars and a pita crown!

In its soft open era, this mom and pop Mediterranean restaurant was great! The food was tasty, service was welcoming and quick, ambiance was cute and vibey, and most of all, the owners and staff are super friendly and kind. We will definitely be back and we hope this authentic place is here to stay!

Excellent addition to the neighborhood! Service was attentive and friendly, with the owner and his family happy to explain the dishes and offer recommendations. Prices were reasonable for the quality and portion sizes ... and, most importantly, the food was delicious! Will be returning again and again!

Delicious new Mediterranean offerings in central Richmond district! Portions were large and the food was tasty and freshly prepared. We loved our entrees and the host graciously treated us to a dessert which was so nice. The dining room is light and airy with cool wall art. Welcome to the neighborhood, Zitouna. We hope you stay for a long, long time.

Fabulous family-owned business! Anna was onsite helping with tables. Amazing food, service and ambiance. Soft music. New to the neighborhood as of May. Delicious menu and specials. Clean and cozy!

Finally the Richmond gets an amazing middle eastern restaurant. Zitouna is a hit! All the items we chose were incredibly delicious. We will be back often.....

The food is excellent, the service is friendly, love the vibe of the whole restaurant. I always feel bad bringing my kids anywhere since toddlers are just messy eaters, but not once did they throw a glance or cast any judgement. Looking forward to coming back again.

The Mediterranean and vegetarian food was delicious and healthy! I will definitely come back again!

10 long minutes after ordering on Doordash and still no confirmation from restaurant. Canceled it.

Come eat here! If your search is "Mediterranean" near Golden Gate Park, this is the place!! Mom and I came to SF and she mentioned she wanted healthy, and Yelp came up with this place Amazing, beautiful decor and open space, cute decorations and murals. Food is 10/10! The owner overheard my mom and I discussing getting the baba ghanoush (roasted eggplant, tahini, garlic, lemon dip appetizer) and he came and served it to us complimentary before our entrees!

This Mediterranean restaurant offers a vibrant, nourishing, and soul-satisfying experience. Whether you're grabbing a quick chicken wrap or sitting down for a multi-course mezze feast, it's hard to go wrong with these sun-kissed flavors. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious plates, tapas, salads....and when you're done eating, ask for a mint tea or the freshly made strawberry lemonade. Highly recommend the place !

The best Mediterranean food in the Bay Area , Highly recommended !! Good service and so clean restaurant

Wonderful new Mediterranean restaurant which opened last month. I had a lamb & beef Shawarma for lunch and it was very good. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and I plan on coming back for dinner sometime soon. Very good service.

I understand that it's a first world problem, but even with our diverse food choices in the Bay Area, I have been complacent and bored of food lately. After eating at Zitouna, the flavors of their food have awakened my taste buds once again. Even though I am familiar with Mediterranean dishes, I had noticed on their menu that there were many things on there that I have not seen or tried before. My goodness, the food was delightful! My family ordered the familiar dishes such as Chicken and Beef/Lamb Shawarma Plates, and Baba Ganoush/Hummus. The items we tried for the first time was the Hooriya-a spiced carrot puree dip that comes with pita bread, Brik Fiselle-Potato and cheese wrapped egg roll, and Mujadra-spiced rice and lentils with fried onions and came with taziki sauce and pickles. There was not a dish we could have gone without. What's even more telling of this place, is that I have 3 little ones that tend to be picky eaters-tried and found themselves enjoying the food as well. Though they are in their soft opening phase, there is such a welcoming atmosphere. I found out through the owner that he used to work at Mezze and Mooore in the Mission and since then, he and his wife branched out on their own and opened this restaurant with more Tunisian influence, where the owner is from. Zitouna is such a refreshing addition to SF, in particular, the Outer Richmond area. I even found myself ordering take out from here this evening, the food travels well, and deliciously consistent.

Love this restaurant! The vibe is warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The food is absolutely delicious--especially the Chicken Shawarma plate, which was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. This place has definitely earned a spot as my new favorite place to eat. Can't wait to come back!

I've now been three times - a late lunch, an early dine-in dinner, and a takeaway dinner. This place is really excellent - very high quality, fresh food, with complex flavors. Setting is in a sweet spot: a step above casual, but also not formal or fancy. Service was attentive and friendly, helping us get our infant setup. All of the tapas we tried were delicious, but a surprise standout was the cauliflower dish. Reasonably priced for such high quality food and experience. Highly recommend.

Fabulous new Mediterranean restaurant on Clement, came to their opening last Saturday and was blown away by how fresh and delicious every dish I had was. Ordered the beef/lamb rice plate, hummus, babaganoush, salad, and falafel (my favorite, and I usually don't even like falafel!). Also not to be missed is the Tunisian carrot dish as well as the mint lemonade, my kids loved it! The owners Mehdi and Anna were wonderful and answered any and all questions we had, our daughter has a lot of food allergies. 10/10, couldn't recommend more, a lovely new addition to restaurant row on Clement.

Spacious and inviting atmosphere, offering a variety of flavorful Mediterranean dishes! The food was delicious and service was exceptional. Will definitely be back for more.

Just had a delicious lunch with our daughter (8 yrs old). In the middle of the meal, she said: "this restaurant is awesome". Wonderful addition to the neighborhood

Delicious, quality Mediterranean food, presented beautifully, and the owners are so gracious and welcoming. So glad this place is just a few blocks away from home

This place was exactly what I needed after the longest day of moving. I was craving something cozy, cost effective and walking distance. My friend and I split the master green noodle soup & chicken chow fun. The rice noodles were beautiful & incredible because they are homemade. Service was so fast and easy.

So excited to have this delicious new Tunisian restaurant in the Outer Richmond! I've missed having good Mediterranean food nearby. We had the taziki, hooryia, brik fiselle, haloumi caprese, and mixed kebab plate. Everything was flavorful and delicious. I can't wait to return and try everything on the menu. The decor is lovely and the staff is friendly and attentive. What a treasure!

This place is awesome! Drove in from Sacramento for a Valkyries game and decided to try this new spot- well worth the detour. The food is fresh, delicious and affordable. My wife and I brought our picky daughter and her friend and we were able to make everyone happy with their diverse menu. The Halloumi caprese was something I could eat every day. My wife had the Brika and some babaganoush and loved it, while I enjoyed the chicken Shawarma wrap. The kids had flatbread and a wrap, along with lots of baklava. The owners are the sweetest people and you can see how much they love and care about their customers and their restaurant. Definitely coming back again!

Came by with a few friends for dinner, and we all loved our dishes! I had the lamb kebabs and they were SO good. Perfectly cooked, the seasoning was authentic, tasted homemade! Vegetarian friend had felafel wrap and beets and was super happy with both. My other friend had the mixed shawarma plate and couldn't stop saying how good it was. MInt lemonade was BOMB!Will absolutely be back often!

Ehhhh....it was okay. Some dishes were decent, others over-seasoned. Service was average.

I am so glad I found this little restaurant in the Richmond. The most authentic Mediterranean food I've had. I really enjoyed the zofta meatballs with pita but the babaganoush is the best I've had. Their hummus is also delicious and lemony
