This place was recommended by a local friend. I knew it’d be a great experience as soon as I walked in because of the smell! Divine. Everything we had was fantastic. Lots of creativity in the food design and flavors. If you love Mediterranean food, don’t miss it!

Taksim is a hidden gem in SoMa! The food is packed with flavor—loved the lamb shish and trio dips. The vibe is classy but cozy, and the service was super friendly. Don’t skip the Turkish donuts for dessert. A must-try if you’re into modern Turkish cuisine!

Phenomenal food and outstanding service in a modern Mediterranean minimalist aesthetic. Crunchy shrimp and kebabs are a must. And that pallet cleansing soup. Fire emoji x 5
