Amazing middle eastern food. The shakshuka and pita bread pair well together, but the falafels were the star of the show. Very crispy on the outside. The dips were also delicious — a different taste in each one and great to dip the falafel and potatoes in.

Came here and there was a wait for inside but a table on the parklet. The mezze sampler was delicious and beautiful. The delicate squash was cooked well and sweet. The lamb shank meat fell off easily. The beef kabob was moist. Palestinian couscous was good. Rice was cooked well. Enjoyed the Lebanese wine. Black tea was sweetened. I definitely recommend the additional bread.

Delicious food in the cutest (but small) spot. The flavors really hit and everything was very fresh. Chicken Shish plate is the one to get!!!! It's well seasoned and tender. loved the side of pickles rice and humus that it comes with. Also got the Beef Kabob plate, which was good but a little dry. Flavors were there and also a very large portion of food. Very authentic and cozy spot. I would recommend for a post work bite or date ;)

Beit Rima serves up 'Arabic Comfort Food'. It means Rima's house.” (The chef's mother's name is Rima). They've been in our bookmarks for a while, and when we needed to be in the neighborhood, we jump at it. Rated 4.5 on Yelp, 4.4 on Google. Fairly standard sit down Mediterranean with additions of higher end dishes like Branzino and Lamb Shank. Prices are a couple dollar more than our favorite spot, Hummus Mediterranean. Food was better than expected. Good quality and ample quantity makes this an easy recommendation. Beit Rima also has a location at 86 Carl St. We ate at the 'public' parklet outside. Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering. Food Review: MEZZE SAMPLER ($23) lebna, muhammara, baba ganoush, hummus, pickles, two falafel is ample quantity for 3 or more people. All items are good with the muhammara really standing out. 8.510 BEEF KEBAB PLATE ($25) spiced kebabs, grilled tomatoes, tehina, mom’s rice, hummus, pita had several tender kebabs with good flavor. 3 big kebab rolls. Lots of nice rice. Didn't really need the hummus, pita with the sampler. 9/10 CHICKEN SHISH TAWOOK PLATE ($25) yogurt marinated chicken, charred onion/red pepper, toum, hummus, mom’s rice, pita was also a very good dish. Tender chicken spiced just right. 9/10 MUHALABIA ($6) floral milk pudding seasoned with orange blossom water, mastic topped with pistachio was just okay. Nothing special. 6/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Very Good Decor - Good Service - Good Value - Very Good Would we come back - Yes

Cute authentic place. The falafels are amazing! Would absolutely recommend getting several. We also got a Musakhan to share, which was quite good.

I don't go out for Middle Eastern food very often, but recently I've been trying out more spots with friends and coworkers, and Beit Rima is right up there. They have a few locations in the city - for this visit we went to one on Church one since it's easy to get to by public transit. The space is cozy and popular, and it can get pretty loud when it's full (there was a waitlist and line out the door at some point while we were there). We had a two-top, but I appreciated that they also have long communal tables too. You're seated and given menus first, but you order at the counter, and food comes out pretty fast. We shared the mezze sampler and we each ordered the beef kebob plate. It was more than enough food, with leftovers to take home. We didn't stay for dessert this time, but I'd be happy to return to try the muhalabia as well as more of their savoury dishes.

Honestly one of my new favorite restaurants in San Francisco. Imagine a warm day in the Bay. Sunny, yet cool. Sipping on a tangy lemonade while the appetizers and food roll in the company of others. The food was amazing good. From the baked olives, lebneh, beef kabob and chicken. Amazing flavors and actually delicious. I can't wait to go back.

The food here is great! The chicken shish tawook plate is so good. Generally tender and the yogurt marinade. The fattoush was amazing with the charred dates. It was very filling and delicious. The inside decor is nice but it feels like a pickup spot now rather than a decent sit-down. I sat outside which was nice but the service was very slow. I never once got a refill on water in the hour I stayed. The waiter was frantically running around taking orders and not able to keep the same level of service to each client... Overall I'd visit again but wish their bare minimum service was better.

Total Score: 7.50 Bathroom: 2.5/5 Nice plant, but soap dispenser had a lot of excess soap buildup so kinda icky. So was the floor and the little bucket for paper towels Customer Service: 4/5 Frequently checked up on us, and super nice, butttt I was so thirstyyy cuz the cups were so small 😢😢 (she said) Ambiance: 4.25/5 A little bit scrappy but it’s a vibe. Very homey vibes and enjoyed the hanging line lights Food: 4.5/5 YUMMYY. The chicken I got was juicy and right amount of crispy. Rice, hummus, and pita bread also decent. Wow: 0/1 Normal restaurant Total Score = BR + CS + 2*AM + 5*FOOD + WOW

Good dinner! Authentic Palestinian cuisine. As a Palestinian myself I enjoyed. The chicken tawook plate good and a very generous portion. Lamb shank was solid as well. Fig & cream dessert was unique and good. Docked a star because I was over charged and didn't realize it until after I left. It was only about $10 but still, wasn't too happy about that.

One of the best middle eastern restaurants in SF! The atmosphere is good, food is top notch and the service is brilliant! Must try includes the chicken shish tawook plate of course and also any of their hummus. Will definitely return!

I don't know what the hype is about this place. It is lacking some traditional flavors. The famous chicken dish that everyone rants about is actually kind of boring.

Tasted fine. The figs special was great, but it's a lot larger of a plate than you might expect.

Went as a group of three and shared a mezze sampler and the musakhan. The chicken was super tender and delicious but could have had a little more kick in spice and flavoring in my opinion. Sampler was amazing, would order again. Definitely a place to come to share a bunch of things not for solo dining!

Horrible experience with the staff, super arrogant and rude. They are highly mismanaged and chaotic, ordered for delivery, and the person on the phone was super unhelpful, rude and arrogant. Didn’t want to even acknowledge the order or give me any status. The delivery driver was also treated horribly, was not given any information whatsoever. The person waited at the restaurant for about 30 minutes, then reached out to us and canceled the pick up. The restaurant staff, had zero explanation, apology or even acknowledgment of the issue/order. Should not order from here, if they are so hostile towards the customers, I wonder what care or attention they have towards the food they provide. I wouldn’t trust this team to maintain high food quality, standards and customer service.
