Mesopotamia Kitchen

I absolutely love this place! I almost always get a kebab plate because I love the combination of the grilled meat with rice, salad, and hummus with pita. It's a filling and healthy meal. My only complaint is the hummus used to be the best in town when they first opened, but I can tell they're thinning it out a little bit now so that it goes further. It's slightly watery compared to the thick hummus they had when they first opened. I still order from them all the time. The chicken kebabs are great (especially dipped in the spicy sauce) and the kofte kebab also delicious. I wish they would go back to the original hummus recipe!

Fast casual mediterranean spot in Noe Valley! I had the lamb beef gyro wrap which came wrapped in lavash with some lettuce, tomato, and red onion inside. The wrap looks skinny but goes a long way! I was completely stuffed afterwards. I did wish there was a little more complexity in flavor - it was all pretty salty and I was looking for something acidic to cut the saltiness. I squeezed some of the lemon from the dolmas plate to make up for it. I also wish there was more veg in the wrap for extra freshness. The dolmas were a little pricey for an order of 4. They also had a slight alcoholic taste? The aftertaste and filling were both great, but the initial bite was slightly off. I probably wouldn't get these again. I'm curious to come back and try the vegetarian gyro wrap though! I also liked being able to order at the counter and have the food ready within ~10 mins. If I'm ever craving mediterranean food in Noe again, I would stop by here.

For the longest time, I always had the impression that Noe Valley was one of the tougher neighborhoods in SF to find a parking space. So, when one of my friends moved out here, I always felt relieved when he would suggest meeting up elsewhere in the city. What little did I know, though - finding a spot around here is actually super easy (at night, anyways). Which, ironically enough, makes me regret not offering to come out here instead. If I had, then I would've discovered Mesopotamia Kitchen that much earlier!Admittedly, from the outside, there wasn't much about this place that grabbed my attention. However, after hearing about how it quickly became one of my buddy's go-to eateries, I was immediately intrigued. After taking a look at their extensive menu board inside, I could see why! Despite how the majority of the menu isn't especially unique, there's no shortage of enticing options to choose from - wraps, plates, mussaka, dolmas, shakshuka, spanakopita, salads, soups, desserts, and so much more. Plus, they have a good mix of proteins to choose from too, whether it be your usual sort of beef, lamb, and chicken gyros and kebabs to kofte kebab, adana kebab, or iskender kebab.-- COMBO GYRO WRAP - Lamb-Beef and Chicken Gyro with Garlic Sauce, Salad, and Tahini Sauce wrapped in Lavash Bread...$13.95As good as this looked, the taste was just okay. The portion was great (fries are included!), but the gyros were a miss for me. Despite how moist both gyros meats were, the marinade they use had an aftertaste to it. Still, it wasn't awful, though, and I really like the fries and how fresh the veggies were.-- COMBO SHISH KEBAB - Chicken Kebab and Lamb Kebab with Rice, Salad, Hummus, and Pita...$18.95I don't always have the best luck with kebabs, but this was terrific! While the chicken was perfectly fine (it had a light char), I thought the lamb was terrific - it was so tender! It was also a pleasant surprise to get a bit of hummus and pita bread (we debated on splitting an order).-- FALAFEL SIDE (3 Pieces) - Grounded and Deep Fried Garbanzo Beans with Zucchini, Celery, Parsley, and Onion...$4.95You can also get this with five or seven pieces, but regardless, these were so good! Each piece was fried to the perfect crispiness and I liked how soft the inside was. Plus, the consistency wasn't chunky either.-- KOFTE WRAP - Grilled Ground Lamb and Beef Patties with Garlic Sauce, Salad, and Tahini Sauce wrapped in Lavash Bread...$13.95This was far more successful than the combo gyro wrap - the kofte was so juicy and flavorful! What's more, the seasoning in the kofte was soaked up by the lavash and nicely balanced out by the veggies. Delish!-- SALMON PLATE - Flavored Grilled Salmon Served with Rice, Salad, Hummus, and Pita...$20.95Even though the color/look of the salmon seemed really pale, this was pretty solid. It was grilled nicely and the center was moist, but I have to admit the deliciously complementary flavors form the lemon and herb sauce really boosted this dish.Also, while I obviously didn't expect service to be bad, I also didn't necessarily expect the workers to be so friendly either! In particular, the woman (owner?) that works the register is ridiculously nice. She warmly greets everyone that walks in and she's really attentive, always keeping an eye out for what folks might need (even the ones sitting outside in their parklet). Between that and how solid the food is, Mesopotamia Kitchen has worked its way into my rotation of go-to eateries as well! That is, so long as parking stays just as easy as it does now...ha!

3.5 starsMesopotamia Kitchen in Noe Valley is a casual, cramped Turkish-style kebab restaurant with a menu of mezze, salads, wraps, and plates. The Appetizer Combo Plate came with a selection of mezzes including three crunchy falafels with tahini, watery hummus, chunky baba ghanoush, creamy tzatziki, and a unique carrot salad mixed with cream cheese. The dips went nicely with the warm grilled pita bread on the side, but the flavors were a bit lacking. A more memorable selection was the Shepherd's Salad, made of chopped cucumbers, tomato, onions, and parsley, along with juicy chunks of grilled chicken kebab. In general, the food here was just average, but the service was incredibly friendly, and this still made for a nice casual meal.

Delicious Mediterranean Feast!This place is one of my favorite! The food was absolutely incredible - flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. I had the a plate and it was amazing big enough to share. Service was friendly and attentive, though it did take a little longer than expected due to a high volume of online orders. Hope this help !

Nice service, good food! Dining area is a bit tight, lighting is a little bright, but not enough to give less than five stars. Thanks y'all!

I always pass by this spot on 24th and decided to give it a try with a friend for dinner. There's not too much seating inside, but enough since there wasn't a lot of foot traffic when we went. The menu is simple and they executed everything well. I also got a side of fries and they really surprised me with the amount they came - about $4/5 and it was a full plate (and then some)!

Ok first I have to say that I'm Persian. And Persian restaurants only use the best quality meats, so everyone else's meat dishes are lesser in comparison. Try Lavash in the sunset for a truly delicious kabob experience. That said, Mesopotamian is good for a casual weekly meal with counter service and plentiful seats. I usually get the Adana Kabob which is good and has generous sides. But what makes them really stand out is the delicious side dishes. Great rice, and the best chicken soup I've had in the Bay Area period. This is not it's an opinion, it's a fact. And for the gays, the male servers at hot. Stop by for edible treats!

Great lunch take out spot. Friendly service. Tasty falafels and hummus. Fast and easy.

Ugh. This places falafel is so mediocre. For starters- the falafel wrap is tiny. Yes it comes with fries, but it's still too small- especially for the price. And it's just sort of flavorless and boring. The folks who work there are nice - so at least there's that. But if you want an authentic and tasty falafel- this is not the place sadly.
