Dunya Reviews

Everyone in my party was happy with their meals. I got a salad and it was little pricy to add smoked salmon for an extra $8 but it was good. Fast service and we had a quick bite to eat before heading to the airport.

Great brunch spot.. And looks like a fun evening bar/food scene! Had Salmon bagel omelette and they have bottomless mimosas for weekend brunch! Less crowded than "Toast", a nearby breakfast cafe.. This place feels like the perfect "special place" to bring someone you want to impress or celebrate with.

If you are in the mood for Mediterranean food (Turkish in this case) this is a good casual place. We had salad, falafel, dolma, something called Borek (my favorite, it was like a spring roll but it was phyllo stuffed with Feta served hot - delicious). My only disappointment was no Turkish coffee. What???? But it was a fun pleasant place.

We stumbled across this restaurant while staying in San Francisco and we are glad we did! Great food, friendly staff and reasonable price. Loved it.

My husband and I are in SFO over the long labor day weekend. We were walking around Polk St, where there are more restaurants and bars than there are days in the year. We came across this quaint restaurant quite by chance. We absolutely loved the appetizer platter which had an assortment of humus, Tzatiki, eggplant dip, falafel, veggies and pita. We shared it for dinner.

After searching for some good food around the area, we stumbled upon Dunya. We were welcomed inside and got a nice table. We were early, so we basically had the place to ourselves until an hour later when it started filling up fast. We started off with the appetizer sampler, which was delicious. It was also the perfect size for two people to share, just as the waiter had advised us. Along with a good bottle of Malbec wine, we split the special, a grilled fish entree with a Greek salad. The Greek salad was more of a garnish instead of a side salad, which was a bit disappointing. However, the fish was fantastic. The interior decorations were beautiful and the service was excellent, making this a perfect place to relax after a long day exploring the city.

We were headed to a nearby restaurant but didn’t like the menu, and came back to Dunya. The ambiance was nice, great decor. Staff were friendly and let us come in a bit early. This day they were offering bottomless mimosas, which I took advantage of. My husband ordered a Florentine Benedict and I had a lamb dish with poached eggs. The flavors were rich and full, a unique menu. Would highly recommend.

We noticed the menu one morning as we walked down Polk St and could not wait to come back for happy hour. We sat at the bar, but it took a while for us to be served (it was not crowded), so we decided to just have the glass of wine and order a bite if we got a 2nd glass. Bartender was more interested in chatting with the girl at the bar than checking on how we were doing, so we ended up leaving.

Easy to find at the end of cable car line. Nice grilled vegetables with skewered chicken and rice. friendly place with a 'Cheers' style.

This place was a surprise, it hit the high tones of Turkish and Greek cuisines in a taverna setting and all while adjusting it to American pallets.

An eclectic selection of brunch entrees. I got the lam burger, which was great.my friend got eggs and lamb, which sounds a little weird, but she liked it. Bottomless mimosas, but they're not very strong.

Very fresh and healthy grilled food. We would certainly totally recommend this restaurant to other San Fran visitors.

went here by chance and will return. was with a group and so we shared appetizers... waiter helped pick out an assortment. We devoured it all and ordered more plus entrees. Not a drop of food left on any plate!

Dunya has great atmosphere and the food to match. The dips are a nice start and the mains were not only tasty but filling. The only regret is that they are in San Francisco and not Melbourne Australia. Thank you

It's an amazing new year brunch with friends and family. They served it with bottomless mimosa and their food are superb. Make a reservation or get there early cuz the line is too busy, with a lot of customers waiting outside for accommodation. Have fun and enjoy the food and drinks !

This is a nice little spot for a cozy, romantic evening. The portions are generous and the food is delicious.

Went for dinner on a weeknight after a local recommended it at a nearby bar. The food was really top notch. Would go back again.

Very hot in summer but good flavor. Cheap meat and small kabob portion but the flavor is right. Mezze plate was very good. Slow and useless service.

We went for dinner, the waitress was nice and quick. They have big plates, and a really tasty hummus.. Good and fresh veggies

Visited this place at end if a long day and flight from NZ - great way to get over jet-lag! Food was great - shared metze platter and everyone had different dish off limited but interesting menu. Bonus was a great craft beer. please go there if in area you will not be dussapointed.

Great little hideaway, welcome kids at the bar so parents can have a beer or wine without a problem. Quaint bar with good service. Happy hour was 11.30 - 3 while we were there 👌👌👌

I've been to Dunya several times now, the first time great food, great service. The second time good food, good service. This last time a few days ago, okay food, poor service. What a shame, wanted this to be my go to place when in that neighborhood. I got the lamb kebobs the first time, and they were tender, cooked medium, almost melting in the mouth. This time they were overcooked, and the meat was tough. First time we went, service over the top, quite phenomenal, this time don't know if the waiters were stressed, because it was a busy weekend night, but the service was only OK. May give it one more try, because I love Turkish Mediterranean food, when it is prepared right!

Came here for dinner. Seating is tight. Has the Borek, Beyti and vegan pyramid. Food was presented nicely and reasonably priced.

We were going to go somewhere else recommended by Trip Advisor within walking distance of our hotel, but the Super Bowl was on and people were 10 deep, and we thought service may falter. So a little further on, we found this, and a quick TA check showed that it was also well rated. We were met by the friendly waiter and given a table. There were a few people there, and after the game a few more people came in. However, we chose some house specialities (egg plant and chicken dish, with a calamari appetiser cooked in a delicious tomatoey sauce), and were not disappointed. It was all quite tasty washed down with a reasonably priced Argentinian Malbec.

Fantastic fresh and tasty dinner at Dunya. Real Mediterranean flavours. Good service, great price. Got chatting to the people at the next table. They were locals and this was their favorite restaurant in SF. Then pop next door for Bob's donuts for dessert!

This is a mediterranean restaurant with reasonable entrees that started from $12. My husband a vegetarian saw this mediterranean restaurant on his walk and enjoyed the crispy falafel and white bean salad. He raved and brought me to this place two nights later and I enjoyed the lamb kebab! The stuffed falafel we shared was great and they provided the latte from next door for our dessert..attentive and friendly staff with nice decor and anbiem plus wine and beer

My husband thoroughly enjoyed his meal, I enjoyed my small plate of calamari... the restaurant had great ambianance.. I LOVED my dessert (espresso creme brulee). Next time we visit SF we're visiting Dunya again!

Nice little place in Polk st Very good food and good value for money! Very recommended if you're in the area

We stumbled upon Dunya on our first night, with light, music and chatter flowing onto the street, it looked welcoming we enjoyed Dunya so much that we ate here everynight whilst on holiday. All the waiting staff were friendy and hospitable. The food was just the right portion size for us Europeans, with interesting vegetarian dishes. Reservations are necessary although they will always try and squeeze you in, this place buzzes!

The chicken dishes were delicious and the portion sizes were generous. It was cramped between the tables and a little noisy but otherwise a great dinner.

We went to this restaurant wanting something along the lines of a gyro. When we sat down and saw the menu seemed more upscale than we anticipated, we almost left. Very glad we didn't. We had the Kofte Kebab and Angus Burger. Both were delicious and savory, leaving us wanting more! A small condiment bowl of tzatziki sauce was $3 which we thought was a little expensive but otherwise definitely worth the value!

Had brunch at Dunya's, was a pretty nice little place. Food was good without being amazing, although I thought the serving size was a little small for an Omlette, which I had. With bottomless Mimosas you could easily have a long lunch here and walk out pretty tipsy. Not sure if I'd go again but otherwise good quality food.

I went to Dunya after wandering around trying to find a restaurant that struck my fancy. I ultimately chose it for the warm and inviting light pouring out of the front windows - the atmosphere of the place was very important to me on that particular night. It didn't disappoint - warm red and golden light and very nice music, a good sized place with an open kitchen and large wrap around bar was just the thing. Unfortunately, I wasn't in the mood for Turkish food. My bad, not theirs. I ended up having some nice wine and the cheese plate, which was good but not great. The cheeses were fine but the plate itself could have/should have been better. Crisp pita bread a few sliced strawberries do not a nice cheese plate make. If you like Turkish food (like Greek) this place seems like a great bet.

The place was surprisingly delicious. Went in on a whim and craving some Mediterranean food. The calamari was really tasty with a fresh presentation and flavors. The grilled shrimp entree was pretty plain in terms of presentation and the selection of vegetables compared to the calamari but had really good flavor.

Fantastic food, great wine, very chill ambiance, and plenty of healthy food options if you feel like eating here every night. This place is a nob hill staple and you can't go wrong. Try the lamb burger or any of the kebabs, the meat is top notch, and the mezze platter is amazing too.

I went there for a dinner with my friend and we both really enjoyed the place. Lamb kebab I ordered was cooked to perfection - juicy but not raw. Really nice small place, I'll definitely come again.

If Turkish food is what you want around here, this is the place to be. Adana kebap was perfect, correct heat on the grill is key to keep it moist on the inside, this was as good as I have had it in US or Canada. The Bayti was fantastic, the tomato sauce was as good as I has had outside of Turkey. Bite of meat with the sauce and yogurt is heaven.

Wonderful atmosphere in an intimate setting. The food was good and the service was fabulous. I mentioned to our waiter that we were celebrating a birthday and he brought a wonderful dessert beautifully presented to help us celebrate. The appetizers were wonderful. We had Hummus and Borek. The Borek was fabulous...Light and flavorful. Everyone enjoyed their entrées which were all delicious as well as remarkably large servings. It is a small place so definitely make reservations. I highly recommend it.

We were in the neighborhood and hungry, so we stopped in for some Mediterranean food. We were blown away. The decor is unusual and fun, the service was outstanding, and the food was the best I've ever had, especially the pita "chips" for the tzatziki. They were warm and soft and fabulous. I had the Adana Kabab that came with perfectly spiced rice, vegetables and broiled red pepper. I will definitely make this a must see when we come back to the city.

We chose this place as we walked by. It looked comfortably busy and the menu was certainly affordable. Service was friendly and efficient and the only down side was a noisy crowd at the bar

We were just walking in the neighborhood looking for a place for a beer, chill and enjoy our vacation and we found this place. Good food, good beer/wine and the prices are reasonnable. The staff is nice and we love the atmosphere of the place. This place is bright if you enjoy daylight!! So if you're walking in Nob Hill, don't forget to stop by!!

Walking down the street looking for a regular breakfast. This place was new looking, clean, & empty at the time so we asked if a Mediterranean place served breakfast. Did they! It was probably the BEST corned beef hash I've ever had! True deli-style corned beef mixed with sautéed onions & peppers, topped with 2 poached eggs & hollandaise sauce. Potatoes on the side. Absolutely delicious!! Service was great, quick & courteous. Couldn't wait to rate them on T.A. as they were a hidden gem.

I really love this place. I don't care much for Mediterranean food, but this place nails it. I was really impressed, and I loved their wine too. I'm glad I decided to try something new, it definitely paid off.

Just to agree with all of the other reviews. Outstanding restaurant. Great food and great service. We celebrated our anniversary there. Shared the prawns and mushrooms for starters then had the sharing platter for two. Highly recommend it. Will definitely be returning!

It’s fresh and it’s very good. Mediterranean mezzé for a super reasonable price given the quality and quantity. For the wine we opted for a zinfandel. It’s a grape variety that I’m discovering with pleasure. It's reminiscent of burgundy but it doesn't cut your legs. Nice frame. Quality restaurant to try

If you are looking for a nice and quite place, a very good food and kind service, then dont't miss this restaurant. If I stay longer in the city, I must come here once a week.

Superb food bursting with flavour in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. We had the prawns and the chicken dishes and both were delicious. I would happily recommend this restaurant for visitors to San Francisco.

We were a group of six and their service was very good. The food was very tasty, authentic! They informed us of the large portions so we were able to share the food instead of wasting it at the end.

Dropped in mid week and had a pretty good dinner. Salmon on couscous was well cooked and presented and the Angus burger reasonable. Selection of beers on tap include a pale ale that is worth trying. Wines are a bit pricy.

We love all kinds of Mediterranean food, and were very pleased to find a Turkish restaurant while in San Francisco. The establishment is very pleasantly decorated, clean and appealing. The menu was varied and it was hard to decide what to order. The Mezze platter was a great option since it provides samples of many tasty items that they have on their menu (which you can view online), and which proved to be extremely filling. We also ordered the Stuffed Felafel Salad (which was very good), and the Musakka (which was good but it was not properly heated -- it came to the table cold). We asked that they please re-heat the Musakka, and they ended up bringing us a fresh order, which was also cold! Our waiter recommended a nice red wine, which we enjoyed. Our waiter then left for the night without asking us if we needed anything else. When another lady brought us our check, we said, "but what about dessert?" She told us that the kitchen was already closed, but made an exception for us and brought us out the MOST DELICIOUS and fresh Baklava I have ever had! I would strongly recommend this restaurant. Although the service needs a tune-up, I loved this place!

NIce food there, and you can also order one of signature drink there, it's mix of orange and champagne. The Lentil also great. I recommend its Kofte Kebab. The staff were also friendly. I talk to them with my broken Turkce. Recommended for Mediterranean Food.

Loved all the yummy Mediterranean dishes. My friends go there regularly and love it. Great little spot that is cozy and not too pricey. They also have great wine.

I LOVE Greek food. Love it love it love it. And this place does Greek food justice. I'm not going to talk about their bottomless mimosas, but keep those in mind. Grape leaves - perfect. Tzatziki - to die for. Hummus- like it was meant to be. If you are in San Francisco and you are looking for awesome Greek food, please stop here - you won't regret it.

We had some time to kill and looked around for a place for lunch. We decided to try "Dunya". The restaurant is very nicely decorated with a southern European atmosphere. The music is "easy listening", not too loud and relaxing. We ordered Kofte and a smoked salmon panini. The food was great! Just the right size for lunch, very tasty and "different". There is no salt and pepper on the table - you don't need it. It was just perfectly spiced and the salad dressing was yummy too. The service was excellent, we enjoyed the whole experience.

This was a great choice for a business group of 7 people. We were able to get a reservation same day even though they don't have a lot of space. The wait staff was constantly filling water glasses and always nearby to bring pita bread or another serving of hummus. Would recommend the mezze platter to try most of the appetizers. I enjoyed the Beyti and would also recommend the Mixed Grill if you're really hungry. Great atmosphere and would absolutely go again.

Came here late night and they had closed the restaurant, which was great because we only wanted a drink. Their wine list is extensive, with many different varietals from different regions of the world. Atmosphere was swanky, which I like when picking a place to go in the city. Definitely try it out!

Nice turkish food in SF . Its really hard with turkish restaurants in SF , but Dunya i guess one of the bests . Try it !

This was all our first time eating here. I had the Mousaka. It was a different version from what I am used to. But it was delicious. I made reservations so we were seated quickly. The staff were friendly.

My husband and I go here at least once a week. Ammmmazing hummus. I love the pours of wine too. Great spot for good food, drinks, and atmosphere.

A bearded man with a dog recommended this place to us as we were dithering outside looking at the menu. We'd strayed far away from our hotel in search of a place away from the tourists and a little bit quieter than the main eateries in Union Square. Normally I would not have taken a recommendation from a random man but we ventured inside anyway. Were WE glad we did? Some of the best food I have ever had in my life I experienced here. I had chicken skewers which were large pieces of chicken and bell peppers but what the menu didn't mention that it would be served with rice (hurray!) and a thin piece of bread underneath (double hurray!). It far exceeded any expectation I had. The drinks were served in jar type things which I thought was quite cool. We were also seated quite closely in between two groups of diners, one of which was quite rowdy but they soon went off in search of a drinking establishment and the atmosphere was quite nice and chilled after that. We got a surprise when the bill arrived but not for the bill being too high, we felt that it was much lower than we expected - it was a shock to find a reasonably high quality dining experience in the very pricey SF area. I wish I lived closer to this restaurant so I could try the other items on the menu. I would definitely pay a return visit if it weren't 8000km away. I might also take on more food recommendations with strangers outside restaurants from now on!

This little place is not near the tourist areas but rather on Polk Street. Everyone inside was local and they were loving it. We chatted with a few and found they come often and never tire of the choices. It's Mediterranean but light and a bit fusion--with what I'm not sure but it was just wonderful. Portions were generous but the food light so we didn't leave hungry but we didn't leave stuffed either. Excellent wine menu, too. Not a lot of tables so get there early or late or make a reservation. Ambience perfect, if a little loud when it's full.

We were walking in the neighborhood looking for a nice lunch option and happened upon Dunya. They had an open table on the sidewalk so we grabbed it, squished the 4 of us into the space and had lunch. The menu is primarily mediterranean in style. I had their kebab which was a combination of beef and lamb. it was excellent. Nice flavors, and a nice portion size, not to big or small. We also shared a hummus starter which was also very tasty, and came with plenty of flat bread for dipping amongst us. there isn't much room on the sidewalk, but it was sufficient. The wait staff did a great job, of staying in tune to our needs, keeping the water glasses filled, getting the bill, etc.... They tag teamed us between two different folk...and they kept it all straight and working. I would label the service as excellent. Especially how busy they were and the level of staffing I saw. Nice job. The food was very good...i'd go back for the food alone. My only negative was some of the local personalities we met, since we were sitting on the sidewalk table. One lovely gentleman kept threatening to rip my shirt off my back, cause he wanted it. This was after he gave up begging for funding!! Hey, your gonna get this in the city. it was bearable and we enjoyed the lovely weather and being able to sit outdoors. No regrets.......enjoy!!!

I've been to Dunya's many times. They have good fresh food and a nice wine list. But my most recent visit was way better than average. The food was not just good, it was great. Both my wife and I were wowed! This is the perfect spot for a light dinner or a glass of wine - they also have a nice weekend brunch.

I live in the area and this is one of my favorite places. They have great food and very good wine. The service is excellent and the decor is stylish but not stuffy. The Ararat salad is my go to dish . At this place you won't be disappointed .

Came for my friends birthday with 9 people. Amazing sharing platter and helpful service. Zezo is the man, very accommodating and nice.

The Angus Burger (and the home made fries) is among the best I've eaten so far. Prices are not cheap but reasonable (for the quality and SF). Highly recommended.

Ambience is awesome, location is great and happy hour is worth going. Food was very tasty and had fair prices for bottles comparing to others. We also went to its other location lark in Castro

Lovely cosy restaurant with a nice vibe. Food and drinks were reasonably priced. Simple menu but lovely, well prepared food Only downside was it was full and so very warm.

This is a small delightful neighborhood eatery. Family owned. All food made on site. Some of the best med food We have ever had. The place is filled and I do mean filled with locals. That is a sign of a good place. Their home made sausages are to die for.

Took my daughter and some of here friends here for a birthday dinner. We are a little spoiled because we live near some of the best Persian restaurants in the country. Dunya's food was very good, but not exceptional. The setting was very nice; quiet enough to enjoy conversation and very small so you don't feel lost in the crowd. The service was very friendly - definitely above average. I would not hesitate to go back if I were in the area. It is in a great area on upper Polk.

My son was staying around the corner from Dunya and had already been here a couple of times, so he brought us here. We started with the Mezze Platter (hummus, tzatziki, eggplant purée, muhammara, and falafel). Being all gluten free, they substituted our pitas for fresh veggies (carrots & cukes). I had the lamb burger for dinner, and it was juicy and tasty, with fries. My wife had the Petaluma Chicken and my son had the Salmon Provençal (which he’s had before). They both really enjoyed them. We all had nice wines - a rose and a Greek Red Wine. Service was fast and friendly and they’re very accommodating to our gluten sensitivity. We’ll definitely be back when we’re next in town.

Wandering up Polk Street looking for somewhere to dine. This place caught our eye and we managed to bag the last free table. It's popularity was soon explained. Good Mediterranean food at reasonable prices, served very efficiently in a good atmosphere.

Great evening place, simple yet very tastefully decorated, booming with people there to visit and enjoy a good meal without being rushed. Very busy, recommend reservations.The meal (we had shiskabobs) were delicious, enough yet not to stuff you. Servers were excellent, very happy atmosphere.

I actually jumped off the cable car looking for an ATM. I saw this quaint little bistro that served Mediterranean food and I ducked in. The food was amazing! I sat there with a glass of wine while reading and people watching. Next time I'm in San Francisco I am going back. I liked that it wasn't near all the touristy stuff, therefore you get a great meal at a reasonable price!

We found this little place when we had to kill some time and were a bit hungry. I ordered the salmon sandwich. It was really yummy. The food was well arranged on the plate, something for the eye too. Service was great, the waiter was always there and fulfilled every wish.

I don't try Mediterranean food too often but after eating at Dunya I will certainly add this restaurant to my must visit on trips to San Francisco. We ordered a variety of choices from the menu and were only limited by how much we could eat. I highly recommend ordering a variety to experience all the flavors.

This is a popular, crowded, neigborhood place with reasonable prices. The wine and beer selections were fairly good, and the dolma, which we had as an appetizer, was very nice. We were disappointed with our entrees, however. My wife, her friend, and I had "prawns." These were actually shrimp and fairly small ones at that, and they were overcooked. If you're going to serve prawns in San Francisco, they'd better damned well be prawns.

We just went in for some wine. Great place, nice atmosphere. The staff was also very nice and oh...the wine was great!!!

We had the Borek, Musakka, Beyti, and Kunefe. All were delicious. Very casual place, not dressy, good value.

The lamb burger and petaluma chicken were tasty, (although not much of a Turkish dish), so was the burek. The other authentic dishes we tried were average in taste. The adana kebab a bit dry and the lamb shish kebab was hard to chew. Not sure how this compares to other Turkish restaurants in SF, but not much of an authentic experience. Service was nice, although when one of our party returned their plate almost untouched (because their kebab was quite sour for some reason) and ordered another plate, there wasn't even a faked concern from the part of the waiter, let alone a discount on the first dish. The place is cozy and location is great.

Lucky to get a table on a Monday evening after failing the night before. Great service, and the quality of the food was just magnificent. The four of us chose the Adana kebab, the prawn shish kebab, the lamb burger and the Angus beef burger. The burgers were made to order and to everyone's satisfaction, and in sensible portions for Europeans like us. Creative presentation of the dishes - not just on a simple plate.

I've been coming to Dunya for 7 years and I'm still not bored with this place! The food and service is great. If you are looking for tasty Mediterranean flavored food and a comfortable & modern ambiance this is your spot.

I went to Dunya for brunch on Easter. It was easy to get in. I had the smoked salmon eggs benedict, which I really enjoyed. The service was a little slow, but not terrible. I have been here for dinner once before, and my plate seemed a little sparse. I'd say this place is average - nothing special but I have no complaints.

I ended up at Dunya's looking for another MidEast restaurant I enjoyed. My mistake- Dunya WAS the place I was looking for! Great food. Wonderful ambience. The server was informatative and friendly. I travel a fair bit and use kofte (kefte) as my benchmark. This place has reset the bar! Best I've had in years! The borek was phenomenal. I will become a regular here when I am in SF. Thank you!

Dinner at Dunya's when I arrived at SF with jet lag still on. We started with a mixed dish (as in the picture): creamy hummus, babaganoush, spiced yogurt, vine leaf rolls, olives, various sauces and pita. All correct, well served, good quality ingredients, but the overall effect is more like a “sample” than a gastronomic tale. Every element has its say, but no one really takes the floor. As a main course I ate lamb and beef sausage with side dishes and pita: tender meat, interesting spice, intense tomato sauce. Here too, however, the dish seems to want to be many things at once: a little Greek, a little Middle Eastern, a little Balkan. Good, but without a clear identity that sticks. The bread is plentiful, the portions honest, the place warm and welcoming, with that “easy San Francisco” atmosphere that puts everyone at ease. Friendly and relaxed service, no hurry. The real limit is precisely the concept: Mediterranean as a general idea, not as a precise place. You eat well, but you go out without really understanding where you have been. What are we taking home Roberta? “It’s all good, eh... but it looks like a culinary Erasmus: now you will understand Ulysses too.”

I had a quick dinner and definitely met my expectations. I ordered the lamb kebab: a generous portion with veggies and rice. All very tasty and flavourful. I'll come back to give more dishes a try and hopefully rate it higher!

As we entered Dunya a couple sitting on an outside table chirped “Unbelievable” with a thumbs up. We were going anyway based on reviews and location. Service was perfect from the moment we entered. Nice interior (I think it used to be an Argentinian wine bar from the decor??) with beautifully soothing music. We started with the Mixed Mezza plate ($29) which is Definitely the way to go - enough for 3-4 people if you order extra pita (warm and delicious) with a lovely selection of 6 items in multiples of 2 . The hummus will ruin all others for you - it was dreamy. Nice selection of wines with 2 beers on tap. We next tried the Mixed Grill ($39) - plenty for 2-4 people, especially if you order a salad, extra rice or a side to go with it. There are 4 big skewers - each very different. We loved them all but found the Chicken the least interesting - odd as we are not big red meat eaters. Stuffed, we skipped dessert. I loved the service here - we were never rushed, our needs were anticipated but it’s perfect for dinner with a group or a date. We will be back!

Wawoooo.. I just love it here.. Food is amazing, bottomless mimosas is highly recommended for 15 bucks, and atmosphere is brilliant.

We like the surrounding of the place. The food is fine although it is more Greek than American food. The vegetables were a bit cold that was not necessary. The meat is very fine. What we didn't like is the 20% they charge you for tip on your bill, they say it is there normal fee but is wasn't on the price list. If you want to charge that then say you do.

Happy Hour is 3pm - 6pm currently. $4 Beers. The food was delicious drinks were cheap and service was average but they were happy people to be around.

Our daughter lives in the neighborhood. So we visit this part of SF quite a bit. This week, we happened in to Dunya for a late dinner. WOW!! Now this is not your trendy SF spot that everyone is talking about. No, it is just great food and a very fair price, a good vibe, nice servers, friendly people. We loved it and will highly recommend it to everyone we know. We shared the Mezze Platter (one of the best we have ever had) and a few of the salads. Everything was fresh and delicious. We sat at the bar. Our server was great and the wine choices are good and fairly priced. In a city of a lot of over priced hype....this is a really refreshing find. Give it a try. Plus....there is something for everyone. Omnivores will love it and there are plenty of vegan choices.

My lunch was perfect. Great friendly quick service. My Moussaka was excellent. Looking forward to returning for dinner at some point.

Everything was super delicious. Nice restaurant and wonderful service. We had the combination of mezza as well as adana kebab. Both dishes were great.

Really nice. Loved the dessert. Great experience. Would recommend. Really friendly staff and super enjoyable experience.

Ate there earlier in week and went back last night to see if I had just been lucky the first time. Between my wife and I we have had many delicious appetizers and main courses. The Calamari were absolutely fresh and cooked in a tomatoey sauce that was good when sopped with the pita provided for that purpose. Local fresh chicken and lamb, everything prepared in reasonably healthful manner with local veggies. Generous portions and appetizers are under $10 and mains usually about $15ish. Fun exciting atmosphere, friendly helpful staff. Good wine list. I see a lot of dinners here in my future.

This restaurant is a small, local gem. We went there at an odd time (around 4:30pm) what was supposed to initially be a drink and some apps but the food was so good, we kept on ordering. Our group ordered 2 Mezze Plates (delicious), Calamari, Adana Kabab and the Falafel plate. Everything was very tasty and flavorful. If you are a falafel purist, you may ask for the sauce on the side (I'm not sure what that sauce was - but it was not traditional Tahini). Overall, a lovely place to go for a casual meal of great food.

I didn't think their food was that great. Perhaps it was just a fluke that day, since all the other reviews think the food is great. My sister's lamb in her lamb wrap was chewy. The crispy falafels were too crispy (maybe thats howthey are supposed to be) but they also lacked flavor. My chicken kabob was okay, I've had better. Vegetables were delicious, not sure what the seasoning was but it was really good.

I sought out Dunya on a friend's recommendation. Their web site mentioned a happy hour, so I went at about 5:00 pm before a concert. Nope, no happy hour, they said. Place was almost empty, not quite. Good friendly service, nice small restaurant. I had lamb kebab and an Italian beer, very good, nice portions. Probably would be a more lively and better experience later on, with more people. But why advertise a happy hour on your web site and then not have one, or at least honor the offer.

Bottomless mimosas on Saturday for $13! The drinks are good but the food is just average. Worth it for the mimosas on Saturday morning though :)

A very good Mediterranean restaurant in the Nob Hill area that offers a variety of kebabs, salads, and even burgers. The appetizers were awesome as well! Like most restaurants in San Francisco, Dunya is small and gets pretty busy later in the evening. Definitely call for reservation before heading out. Overall the food is very good, but the prices are a little on the high side.

Shaymaa was very friendly! Food was great and very flavourful. Maybe a little on the pricier side but definitely good for an occasion

We reserved a table for 5 for a meal before a concert at Old First Church - and will return before the next performance. What a find only a little over a block from the venue. Appetizer platter was shared by all - very generous servings. The atmosphere is pleasant, service is great, but tables are a bit tight. Great value for San Francisco.
