Absolutely delicious! Mystic Café has an amazing selection, fair prices, and truly outstanding service. As someone eating keto, I was blown away by how flexible the kitchen was — I could’ve ordered any dish and they made it work. Never seen anything like it. Everything came out super fast and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend!

I had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Café Mystique! This place is a true gem and exceeded all my expectations. I was incredibly impressed with the menu's fantastic selection. There's a wide variety of delicious and creative options to choose from, catering to different tastes. Everything our table ordered was beautifully prepared, fresh, and full of flavor. It’s clear they use high-quality ingredients. What stands out just as much as the quality of the food is the amazing value. For the price, the portion sizes and the quality you receive are outstanding, which is a rare find in San Francisco. You definitely get more than your money's worth. The atmosphere in the café is cozy and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I can't recommend Café Mystik enough. If you're looking for a place with a superb selection of food and great value, this is it. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! Five stars well-deserved!

My partner and I had dinner here for Valentine’s Day and the experience was beyond amazing! We made reservations and were sat immediately. We ordered a paloma and cosmo, had a few tables asking to try out drinks, that’s how yummy they looked! The service was so good we didn’t have to wait much time in between our appetizer and main dishes, but just enough time to savor the calamari. For entrees we ordered the Ribeye Steak medium rare and Lamb Risotto spicy. The steak was cooked beautifully!! We were both STUNNED at how incredible the flavor and texture was— 1000% recommend trying it. For dessert we decided to try the fried banana with vanilla ice cream… it was the most delicious dessert we’ve ever tried. Overall, such a great experience, from the cozy dim lighting to the BART and Muni accessibility.

Great restaurant for pasta in the Castro District. Highly recommend the chicken risotto for it's great flavor. Also made me happy that they offered a large portion size for the beef and mushroom spaghetti. It can be a bit loud inside, but overall had a beautiful ambiance.

This was my first time dining at this restaurant, and I decided to stop by after noticing how inviting it looked from the street. The Christmas decorations were beautifully done and immediately caught my attention, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. When I walked in, the ambiance inside the restaurant was just as impressive. It wasn’t too busy at the time, with about 4-5 tables occupied, which made the experience feel calm and relaxed. The staff provided excellent service, and the food was prepared surprisingly quickly. I truly enjoyed my visit—the atmosphere, the service, and the food were all wonderful. Thank you for a great dining experience!

A Mystical Dining Experience Cafe Mystique exceeded my expectations! The ambiance was enchanting, creating the perfect setting for a delightful evening. The drinks were expertly crafted, a true testament to the bartender's skill. The food was equally impressive, with flavors that danced on the palate. But what truly sets this place apart is the service. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, I highly recommend Cafe Mystique.

Everything about our visit to Cafe Mystique was perfect. The service is amazing, the food is delicious and the whole experience is just great. We ordered the green beans and the garlic bread as entrees, which were both super savory. Then we continued with the shrimp pasta, which had a nice spicy kick, and the fettuccine with chicken that was an amazing mix of flavors. For dessert we had the Nutella sundae which we also enjoyed. Shoutout to all the waiters, but especially to Azat for being super nice and giving great menu suggestions.

Immaculate experience even for the high bar for venues that exist in San Francisco. The ambiance, the staff, and the food are just perfect. I ordered the Eggs Florentine and they were amazing (if eggs Benedict are your thing, there are three other options to choose from). Fair pricing and lots of good options to choose from.

We had a Sunday brunch at Mystique Cafe. Great location on Castro. Very nice terrace for an outdoor lunch. Sangria was a highlight, with hints of cinnamon, and with fruits inside, it tasted great. Great service. Food was very nice, eggs Florentine with crab cakes is a highlight. The crispy fried potatoes are delicious.

My brother brought me here as he described it, "his favorite restaurant." Italian cuisine. We both had pasta dishes followed by dessert. Lemon Chicken pasta with an olive oil base was his dish. Spaghetti, mushrooms & meatballs was mine. Both plates were beautiful and scrumptious. Bananas Foster for dessert!

Great place and great food. The best experience I’ve had in SF so far. There is a twist to the food that can keep you going again and again! The service was exceptional! Samer - the owner - made sure that we gave a great experience!

Strictly speaking, It is not a mediterranean restaurant. They have meals from various cousins. We tried shrimp risotto, chicken in vodka sauce an mediterranean pasta. All tree were good, the risotto was the best. We also liked a laid back atmosphere, nobody was pushing us to leave the place after we finished meals, we could enjoy outside siting while sipping our drinks

Total Score: 7.55 Bathroom: 4/5 The floor was a bit broken, but loving the little decor thingy Customer Service: 4.25/5 Very nice, easy to grab, and checked up on me. Ambiance: 4.75/5 Great decor, the gold and black palette really adds to the mystique vibes. Also nice table flower. Food: 4/5 The frittata was great, the cheese added to the soft texture (and a nice cheese pull). However, the potatoes were a bit weird. They were too crunchy, but needed some more seasoning Wow: 0/1 Normal brunch restaurant Total Score = BR + CS + 2*AM + 5*FOOD + WOW

I should have read the signs not to eat here when one of the staff lured us in with the false promise of ' if you don't like it and don't eat you won't pay for it'. Well not only did I NOT like the food, the food is outright a joke and we still had to pay for it. We had six dishes, let me start from the top. Fried calamari, of course the calamari was previously frozen, no surprise there, but please use hot oil in your fryer! The calamari lacked crunch and you could taste the freezer burn. Hummus, SF is full of places with fantastic hummus, I don't know how you guys managed to screw this dish up, but you did. It was drenched in olive oil and pureed to the 10th degree, looked rather unappetizing and lacked the refreshing flavour. The pita bread was alright no complaints on that front. Ok off to the mains. Signature pasta, Salmon, Mediterranean salad and pomegranate fennel chicken. By name they sounded lovely. The pasta had a nice flavor but was drowned in sauce making it look sloppy. The salmon was super dry. The Mediterranean salad was alright. It came to our rescue as we didn't want to eat the last dish the chicken after the first bite. Pomegranate is tart, fennel is nutty or licorice tasting. How in the world did you guys manage to serve up a chicken which was bone dry and so sweet it could have been a dessert substitute. The couscous also didn't resemble any couscous I have seen and tasted. Sad sad super sad. On the positive we had some many to go boxes we were able to feed some homeless.
