Can't believe it's taken me this long to eat here. 10/10 The food is phenomenal! Add yourself to the wait list on Yelp and you shouldn't have a problem getting a table. We misordered something and the restaurant sent us a replacement and let us keep the mistake order. It was very nice of them to do that. Decor inside was great, too. Very homey.

This is a cute location with cozy/cramped seating and a nice ambiance. You pay at the cashier before eating and then get a number. The staff brings the food to you. We got the mezze sampler and the bread. The pita is not homemade (nor do they claim it is) but samirs bread is. It is soft, airy, and has lovely zatar/sumac on top. I wish it had some in the middle as well. The mezze sampler was good but lacking in texture. Everything was blended with a few fresh veggies. I wish it had more chunks.Overall a decent meal!

For 3 adults and 1 toddler I'd order:2 kneaded breads to dip in Muhamara & Shakshuka & eat with the Halloumi cheese (if you like salty things)Palestinian Chicken x2 (it was so good!) I liked the sweetness.Lamb with hand rolled cous cousAnd maybe the delicate squash for a veggieThe chicken & lamb fell off the bone they were so tender.When I ordered delivery in the past the chicken was a bit dry, but I'll have to try it in person to see if that's not the case.

It felt like I was eating at a family's house. All the workers seem very close and tight, and a lot of the customers were talking with the workers like they all knew each other. Beit Rima felt like a small community. It felt really authentic. The hospitality was also great. The servers were caring and welcoming. They offered us free pita bread which was very kind. The portions are big here, so I would recommend sharing dishes with your group. The humus is massive that you will have to ask for a lot of pita bread to finish it all. The shakshuka was great. It was piping hot and fresh so that's all you can ask for. My favorite dish was the beef kabob plate. The beef was marinated very well and I wish I could've just had that all to myself. I recommend this dish overall. It gets crowded here, and you may have to sit at the bar. But sitting there is worth it because you can see the chefs do their thing and you get a quicker seat at one of the best restaurants in the area.

Stopped by for dinner around 9 PM on a Friday. We were searching for a new dinner spot to try and was recommended Beit Rima by a few friends. The restaurant may be easy to miss if you aren't intentionally looking for it.We ordered the chicken plate, shakshuka and an extra pita. You order and pay at the front counter after being seated first; you're given a number and the server brings the food to you. The food came out about 10 minutes after ordering, which wasn't bad considering the place was fully packed. In addition to the items we ordered, they gave us a plate of the handpulled bread on the house. Overall had an amazing experience here, food was great, vibes were immaculate and staff were incredibly friendly. I would 100% come here again and will definitely be recommending this spot to friends!

I can only vouch for the chicken shish plate as that's the only thing I tried. With that said, it was hands down the best chicken plate I have ever had. The chicken was marinated to perfection and one of the juiciest and tender chicken plates you'll fine. Most places cook it too quickly and it's hard as a rock and completely dried out. I was absolutely amazed that our entire table pretty much ordered the same thing and everyone had similar comments. Perfect amount of spice and complemented with rice and a delicious sauce with a side of hummus. The wait gets pretty long, but we had an early dinner at 5pm on a Saturday so the wait was no issue for us. This quickly became one of my favorite spots, and I'm looking forward to going back. Halal too!

Came by for a late weekday lunch. Got a mezze sampler and a musakhan to split between three people since we weren't too hungry. The food was great. The chicken was so tender and moist and seasoned so well. The spices were warm and so comforting and the cook on the chicken was great. I loved the mezze sampler as well. The muhammara was sweet and savory, a flavor combination I wasn't used to, but at the same time very nostalgic. Everything was good and would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Damn kinda bummed! Was so excited to try this place. Ordered takeout through DoorDash and went in person to pick up my beef kebab plate. It was a busy Friday which I understand, but my order took 20 mins longer than I was told. And they forgot the pita :/ $27 for 3 logs of beef and rice and hummus is a bummer

Small quaint restaurant. Very unassuming but food is great.You order at the counter before hand and they give you a token number for your table and bring food to your table.We had the muhamarrah which comes with pita bread. Beautiful flavor.Also ordered the chicken shish touk plate which is 3 skewers of succulent chicken on a bed of rice. Some onions and peppers and a side of hummus and half a pita. They also have hot sauce that you can have on the side.

Arabic comfort food and it's divine.Beit Rima ("Rima's House") serves savory, delicious food and dishes I haven't experienced anywhere else. When a meal lingers in your mind, you know it's good and you need to return! The grilled hanger steak ($31) was tender, flavorful and cooked rare as requested. Zhoug, the spicy green cilantro sauce that accompanied the steak, was complex and piquant with jalapeño and cumin. I really enjoyed the bed of toothsome ancient grains.My son had the juicy, grilled chicken skewer ($22) plate with hummus and pita and we split plates of Ful (fava bean stew, $11) and baba ghanoush ($12). Since we "over-achieved" our meal - The Incinerator'd just come from a swim meet- we had leftovers. Service was polite and the restaurant interior, cozy. It was better on a sweltering day to sit outside at their cafe tables and enjoy the breeze.Doable but somewhat challenging street parking so walk or take the 22-Fillmore or N, L, J and F lines that all converge right there.
