Noe Valley, San Francisco · restaurant
A candlelit room built around slow, shared meals. Mezze first, Palestinian wines (Cremisan Cellars, Terah rosé) poured alongside California bottles. The chicken musakhan is the move: lavash rolled tight with caramelized onions, shredded chicken, and tahini that holds it together. Tables fill most nights and service runs unhurried. Budget the time and order the knafeh.
