   The wait staff and maître d' were super friendly, accommodating, and attentive. The food was bursting with flavor and fantastic. We sat at the counter facing the wood oven and next to where all the action was happening. Definitely a great place to see what all the other dishes look like for next time! We're travelled Istanbul and all over Turkye a couple years ago and we missed the food. Definitely did't disappoint. We'll be back again!

   Stumbled upon this and it's excellent. I was in Turkey a few months back and this is as good! But please dont get it too crowded so its hard to get in:)

   I’ve always had a great experience at Taksim but this time around was not great. A friend and I were dining and she wanted to get the tasting menu for herself. I was interested in the tasting menu as well but the menu didn’t allow for substitutions and I’m vegetarian. So, my only option was ordering a la carte but the server told us the whole table had to order the tasting menu or else none of us could get it and that they wouldn’t accommodate my dietary restriction either. If you’re not going to accommodate dietary restrictions for your tasting menu, then you shouldn’t be mandating the whole table to opt into it.

   Sensational meal! Everything was delectable, well-executed, creative. The staff was incredibly attentive, made nice suggestions, never let a water glass go empty. Taksim is a new favorite restaurant.

   Another lovely evening at Taksim: delicious dishes and great services all around! While we had the tasting menu again which was perfect in every way, sitting at the counter we could not help but noticed other beautiful plates being prepared by the staff. Even with a full stomach we already planned to go back and try more dishes!

   Rolled the dice having never been here, but trusted the reviews and arranged a business dinner for two executives who are in the California fresh produce industry, happen to be vegetarian and had not been to San Francisco since before the pandemic (no pressure….). Everything about our dinner was truly fabulous. We ordered a wide range of dishes (olives, hummus platter, cauliflower, wheatberry risotto, eggplant) and were blown away. The food and preparation were outstanding, the service was exceptional and the ambiance was warm and welcoming. Will absolutely return for a personal meal and put on the list for work dinners.

   Amazing Turkish food at Taksim SF on 4th Street/Freelon Alley. Delicious lamb chops, shish kebabs, chickpea fritters, onion seed bread, and pistachio baklava 🇹🇷👏
