Valencia Grill San Francisco Reviews
this place is 🔥 top notch food and the owner Muhammed is a chill and awesome guy who made me and my girl our shawarmas. He puts love and effort into his food and it shows! Place just opened up a few months ago so please support this gem!!
Falafel - 9/10. Probably my favorite falafel ever. Such a nice, nutty flavor. Must get. Beef gyro wrap - 7/10. Surprisingly the bits of grilled vegetables were sooo good in the wrap. I'm not vegetarian at all, but that might actually be the play here.
The food is really good—fresh, healthy, and full of flavor—and the people are so kind. I just wanted to mention one small thing: for the chicken shawarma plate, the amount of chicken feels a bit less, especially for the price. If the portion of meat were a little bigger, it would feel perfect for the value.
Absolutely delicious beef/lamb shawarma wrap. We asked for spicy and got it. Mohammed also gifted me some falafel since it was my birthday, which was crispy on the outside with a perfect, tender interior. They are sweet people and the food is fantastic! We will be back soon!
they just opened, chicken shawarma is quite good. it’s great that the mission finally gets a fast shawarma spot. Fresh falafel was great too. Owners are kind.
We had the supreme chicken and supreme beef shawarmas, and both were amazing. The lavash was perfectly crispy, the meat was tender, and they were packed with fresh veggies, delicious sauce, and a touch of hummus for flavor. Just bravo! The service was just as good as the food. All the staff were nice and friendly, and the owner was incredibly generous and treated us to some falafel. Honestly, it was the best falafel I have ever tasted - so tender and not dry at all. We also got some sweets to enjoy with our morning coffee, but they looked so appealing we "inhaled" them the moment we got home. The baklava is out of this world!
We ran into this place by chance and we are definitely coming back! The food was really good and the service was amazing! We also lucked out with a sunny weather and enjoyed the food outside!
Favorite Mediterranean in the Mission! I’ve lived here for years and recently tried SF Grill for the first time - and have gone back multiple times since. The plates & wraps are delicious. I judge a place by their hummus and falafel and this place knocks both out of the park. Mohamed (owner) is also a local to the neighborhood and it’s been lovely to get to know him and see his love of food + the neighborhood. Looking forward to more chicken shish, shawarma and falafel wraps!
Very delicious! Tried a variety of different meats and was very pleased with the taste ! Highly recommend to try it !
So happy to have this new spot in the neighborhood! I got the falafel schwarma wrap with a side of hummus. They even toast the wrap on the grill. Absolute perfection. Looking forward to trying their other stuff soon!
It is the best place and the healthiest food, it is so good in flavor and portion, it is a big plate hahaha I would recommend it 100%
10/10 food and very friendly, family-like atmosphere! The food is so fresh and tastes very authentic, healthy, flavorful, and tasted home cooked as well. A very needed addition to Valencia and the Mission District.
Great gyro! Happy to have this gem in the neighborhood. Gracious staff.
Staff was nice, the cheese streak was to die for and the falafel was absolute fire! I will be returning.

Great gyro! Happy to have this gem in the neighborhood. Gracious staff.
Great new place on the corner. Same spot as the old Mediterranean place.
Easily the best falafel in SF and the hummus was whipped to perfection (I loved the hummus so much, I bought a large side to bring home with me). The owner and staff were also super sweet and welcoming. An outstanding addition to the Valencia restaurant scene.
I wish we had a middle eastern restaurant in our neighborhood as good as this one! We are going to make it a weekly tradition to walk over to Valencia to enjoy SF Grill's food. So far we've tried the chicken shawarma (the regular and supreme wraps) and the falafel (the plate and the wrap), and everything has been delicious. I always opt for the spicy option, and it is flavorful and not crazy hot. The lavash wrap is grilled so it is crispy. The wraps come with a lot of crunchy lettuce, which I like because it makes the meal feel more balanced and not too heavy.
Their shawarma is fantastic, my new favorite in the city. The owner and staff are super friendly and will treat you like family. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic food. Owner is super friendly — hooked us up with falafel. Best new spot in the mission!!
The food here is incredible and the staff is so friendly and goes above and beyond. I ordered the beef shawarma supreme with spicy sauce and will definitely be back.
Best falafel I’ve had in a long while and my spicy shawarma was excellent. The owner was very friendly and service oriented. I will be back.
Met my girlfriend to have lunch there, and I ordered the falafel platter with all the vegetarian samplings. The owner was beyond sweet. The second I came in inside, he offered me a complimentary falafel which was delicious, not too oily, not dry, with a little bit of spice in it, just perfect. The owner checked in with me completing my order whether I was vegan or not, which I really appreciated. I enjoyed my plate and how fresh it was and definitely incredible and very attentive customer service. CC accepted Ps - there is outside and indoor seating.

My husband and I stopped by for lunch, and we were greeted warmly and offered a sample of the falafel. So tasty! We both ordered the beef/lamb wrap and loved it. Delicious, fresh, and a perfect portion. We'll definitely be back soon!!
This place has the best hummus I’ve had in a long time. Veggies are fresh. I had a chicken shawarma. It’s brand new clean and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommend
Wow!!! So so so so tasty! I was looking for something on to eat and saw they were open (11pm on Friday evening). I stopped in and was pleasantly surprised but how cute it was! And the music was on point (cue 2000s Akon radio. IYKYK). Everyone was really friendly and it smelled delicious! The menu has a variety of item both Mediterranean and American (burgers and fries). I ordered the chicken kebab with rice. Great portions! It comes with two salads hummus, and pita bread. IT WAS SOOO GOOD!!!! Some of the best hummus I’ve ever had. The chicken was seasoned and cooked well. Really everything was really really good. 10/10 highly recommend!
