Best Turkish Restaurants in Bayview

Taksim was incredible! Turks are some of the most hospitable people you will ever meet. The service was wonderful and we felt so taken care of. It was our anniversary and they gave us complementary Prosecco! We got the tasting menu which is extremely fairly priced. Every single thing was amazing. Favorites were the ezme crunch, blackened cauliflower, crispy shrimp, mantı, and the branzino- so fresh and perfectly crispy skin. Afiyet olsun!

What a gem of a family restaurant! My husband and I went here before going to a play at the SF Playhouse. The owner served us at the bar. He was so gracious, friendly and attentive. His family members were equally welcoming and lovely. I consider myself to be a bit of a Greek food snob. My mom was from Greece originally and I travel there often. I am always looking for good Greek food in the States. The Parthenon exceeded my expectations. Every dish was outstanding. It’s rare to find a kebab that is not too dry. The lamb kebab was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The Pastitsio was delicious and fresh. The tzatziki was great and their own house dipping sauce for pita was even better. If you go, best to go on the early side or make a reservation as this place has been discovered and gets packed. We were there when they opened at 5 because of the timing of our play. By a little after 6 they were already busy. We will definitely be returning!

A really delightful place for lunch, cozy, warm ambiance. Menu selection varied, quality ingredients, and very flavorful dishes. Try the tahini hummus, muhammara and adana kebab - delicious! Staff members are attentive and patient. I'd definitely return.

Good service. Lamb chops and stuffed eggplant are scrumptious! The restaurant is a little bit dark. I would prefer a little brighter environment.

Food was absolutely delicious!!! The lentil soup was out of this world. I will definitely come again to try more of the outstanding cuisine.
