Food and service were very good. We had Adana plate, Adana wrap, kofta kabab wrap, chicken shawarma wrap. The fries that came with the wrap were very good. The owner was nice enough to give us complimentary baklava. Thank you.

Some friends and I were looking for a late night dinner and wanted Mediterranean, thankfully Shish Ke Baba was open on Easter. We had a warm greeting. They were really helpful considering I didn't know the lay of the land. Food came out fast and was very authentic and homemade. Everything was delicious especially the rice. It was very arroamic. I will definitely recommend to friends and return!

My friends and I had a wonderful dinner here! We shared the chicken shish kebab, lamb shish kebab, and Adana kebab plates. The chicken was juicy and tender, the lamb was flavorful, and the Adana ended up being my favorite. We also tried the lemon mint drink. It was a bit too sour at first, but it really grew on me, and I ended up finishing the whole glass. We were also served complimentary baklava for dessert, which was a sweet way to end our evening.

Let me just start by simply stating that I'm definitely going to be going back to this restaurant on the regular. This is my new favorite restaurant in the SF area. A couple of reasons why: 1.) When I initially walked in, it was completely dead. I was the only person in there. I was worried that the food might not be fresh but when I placed my order to go I was told that it will take about 15 minutes. That means it was prepared fresh, that's huge because a lot of restaurants don't use quality ingredients let alone quality preparations. 2.) The food quality was really good. Well seasoned chicken and great fresh hummus. Again, it was cooked fresh. Lots of good sauce choices. 3.) The service was very friendly, prompt and they made a substitution accomodation for me. 4.) The interior is a very nice layout with soft lighting and nice tables. It is attached through a side door to a hookah lounge. I don't know if it's open or not. As you can see from the similar reviews, this place is definitely a hidden gem. I recommend this place to everyone and I truly hope that the quality doesn't change. Thanks for the great food kind service and the baklava.

I came between lunch and dinner on a late start lazy Sunday afternoon. The two menus were indeed a bit confusing (as other reviewers noted) but the food was delicious. I had the grilled beef kebab, which tasted rich and flavorful, juicy, with nicely grilled brown stripes on it. The rice was sweet and fragrant, with just the right amount of sehriye, making it nice and fluffy. The hummus came with the Aleppo pepper and infused oils and subtle paprika, just perfect. For desert I just had a pot of Turkish tea, sweet and thick, lots of sugar cubes for me :)

Best shawarma in the city by far. Would highly recommend. Their new wings wish was also amazing.

Excellent more casual spot for food. It’s known outside as “Lava Lounge”. Highly recommend the hookah lounge alongside dinner, or you can skip and sit in the dining room. Everyone we interacted with was helpful and friendly.
