Reviews
I love cinnamon. In pastries, in coffee, in savory chili.i just did not expect it to hijack a savory Turkish ratatouille and dominate my entire plate.
The Good:
• For a walk-in only, a short 10 minute wait was very much appreciated
•The eggs were beautifully executed – soft, fluffy, properly folded, tender inside without being runny or rubbery. You can tell the kitchen knows what they’re doing.
• Tzatziki on eggs? Unexpected and absolutely delicious. Cool, tangy, creamy against warm eggs – amazing!
• The Arnold Palmer was perfectly balanced (not too sweet, not too tea-heavy). Clean layers, refreshing, 5/5.
• Cold water served immediately upon arrival (and properly cold). It’s such a simple touch, but always appreciated.
• Ambiance is top notch – warm, inviting, great brunch energy.
• Attentive staff throughout.
The Not-So-Good:
• The Turkish ratatouille was overwhelmingly cinnamon-forward. That was the only dominant note I could taste, and it overpowered the dish to the point where I struggled to finish it. Interestingly, the server initially mentioned they don’t add cinnamon but after checking with the kitchen, confirmed that cinnamon is indeed added. It was just far too much.
• No side plate. With oranges, sauce, and potatoes sharing space, there was nowhere to rest utensils or keep citrus from soaking into the stew. Small detail, but it matters.
• No salt and pepper on the table, so there was no way to tweak seasoning.
The frustrating part is that the technical cooking – especially the eggs – was excellent. But when one spice dominates and a few small service details are overlooked, it changes the entire experience.
Cinnamon, I still love you.
Lokma is an amazing spot in San Francisco for authentic Turkish and Mediterranean food. The ambience is warm, modern, and inviting — perfect for brunch or dinner. The dishes are beautifully presented and full of flavor — from the juicy kebabs to the freshly baked bread and delicious mezes. The service is attentive and friendly, and everything tastes fresh and homemade. Their Turkish coffee and desserts are a must-try! A perfect blend of great food, great service, and great atmosphere — highly recommended!
Service aside, food is comforting and simple. Nothing wild. Probably not worth the price tag.
Overall, my experience that day was horrible and I’m never coming back.
Street parking can be challenging in the area. Recommended for dates/smaller parties, and to book reservations ahead of time for ease with seating. They also do pickup and delivery.
Hot and fresh pita, delicious clotted cream in honey, good spreads, salad
Meatballs were salty
