    Our team was overly pleased with the dining experience from the moment we sat down to the moment we left! From the appetizer of the sauces with pita to our main dishes which I highly recommend the chicken and pilaf healthy and filling, to the baklava dessert! Great service and location! Would take clients back again!

    Always solid and reliable for an excellent meal and amiable service. The upstairs dining area is much quieter, a great perch from which to enjoy the livelier atmosphere downstairs.

    This is simply the best Mediterranean restaurant in the Bay Area. Everything is made fresh. The hummus is the best I've ever had--made in house. The have a full bar if you want to drink with your meal. Their kebabs are all excellent. You get a nice Mediterranean salad and saffron rice with two kebabs, all reasonably priced. The spinach and prawn salad is excellent, as is the Cesar. The flat breads are delicious, as is the beef and lamb burger. Try it out!

    Foreign Cinema is by far one of the best restaurants in San Francisco and throughout the years they have maintained the same quality level. The food is beautifully presented and the innovative flavors are a pleasant surprise to the palate. They have something for everyone. The crew is very well experienced and their recommendations for wine pairing is always right on. Don’t be surprised if they bring complementary dishes. We have been dining at Foreign Cinema since they open and we will continue visiting them.
