About Turkish Restaurants on the SF Peninsula
Turkish restaurants bring the crossroads flavors of the eastern Mediterranean and beyond to the San Francisco Peninsula, blending grilled meats, fresh mezze, and warm hospitality into a satisfying, shareable meal. The guide's Turkish listings are a smaller find, but the cooking is worth seeking out.
Kebabs are central, skewers of marinated lamb, chicken, and beef, along with adana and other spiced ground-meat preparations, grilled over high heat and served with rice, flatbread, and grilled vegetables. To start, a spread of mezze covers hummus, baba ghanoush, stuffed grape leaves, and yogurt-based dips, alongside warm bread fresh from the oven. Pide, the boat-shaped Turkish flatbread with various toppings, and hearty stews round out the menu, and baklava or Turkish tea and coffee make a fitting finish.
The food sits comfortably between Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian traditions, which makes it both familiar and distinctive. The shareable, mezze-forward style suits a relaxed meal with a group, and portions tend to be generous.
Vegetarians do well with the many mezze, vegetable dishes, and bread, since meatless plates are a natural part of the cuisine. Prices are generally reasonable for the amount of food.
