We celebrated my 33rd birthday at Esnaf and it was an absolute 10/10 experience from start to finish.

The restaurant was clearly packed and busy, but they graciously accommodated our extra 8th guest without hesitation, that kind of flexibility says a lot about how they treat their customers.

The food was incredible. Our server Camila was hands down the best part of the evening. She was attentive, timely, and gave us perfect recommendations. The mint pomegranate salad was refreshing and unique, the Turkish breads were outstanding, and the desserts were the perfect way to end the meal. Trust her suggestions, you won’t regret it.

Beyond the food and service, the little touches made it special. The staff took photos for our group and even let us linger after closing time to chat and enjoy the moment together. You could tell they genuinely cared about us having a great night, not just turning the table.

If you’re looking for amazing food, warm hospitality, and a team that goes above and beyond, Esnaf is it. Would recommend to anyone, especially for a celebration.

Excellent Turkish food, with super friendly staff. I liked the variety and subtlety of tastes, and the elegant preparation. Fairly generous portions: 3 starters, one main, and dessert was perfect for the two of us

Nice Turkish wine by the glass: although the selection is a bit limited, the ones available were all good.

Bread refills throughout the meal. We’ve added it to our list of places to go back to.

Really impressed by the ambience (interior deco + restaurant layout), food, and service.

Price is very reasonable, which in today’s SF Bay Area is increasingly rare. Portions are good — 2 big appetizers + 1 salad + 1 main course were more than sufficient for the two of us. And the waitresses would tell us not to order more so when we placed the order.

First time being here, and the food was amazing! The service was excellent, and the quality of the ingredients was outstanding — all shipped from Turkey. The interior decor is beautiful. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back!

We love Esnaf! As someone who travels to San Carlos often for work, this is where I love to go. The food is so fresh and I’ve never been disappointed by a dish. The wait staff is so kind and offers great help when you’re not sure what to order. They keep fresh warm bread coming to the table, waters constantly refilled and the atmosphere is great.

Wow, what a great local find! Great location, excellent food, and attentive service.

Nice selection of wine. The Turkish Sauvignon Blanc paired well with our dinner.

The bread was amazing. We had the hummus, crispy manti, and Kebab Trio which came with a lamachan as well.

Everything we ordered was delicious. I’d highly recommend this restaurant.

Don’t forget to save room for dessert.

I usually don’t like eating bread at the restaurant because it is too filling. However, I couldn’t stop eating their bread.. it was so fresh and tasty. All of the dishes we ordered were top notch and the service was beyond my expectation. This place deserves 5 stars. Since we moved to the bay area, this restaurant is one of the best I have been to. There are many great places in Melbourne, Australia which makes me always picky with food. I am now planning to take all my friends and families who visit us from overseas to Esnaf. Thank you for the marvellous experience!

One of the rare places in the Bay Area where you can truly enjoy delicious and high-quality food. The atmosphere is warm and romantic and the staff are just as welcoming and kind.

I’m not sure how it is on weekdays but I definitely recommend making a reservation for the weekend. We went without one and had to wait a bit, but next time we’ll be sure to book in advance.

The fresh bread straight from the oven was amazing! I couldn’t get enough of it. The lamb chops were my favorite and very reasonably priced compared to many other places. The tahini pistachio ice cream was exceptional. It’s honestly surprising when a restaurant makes better ice cream than an actual ice cream shop. 🙂 We will definitely be back!!
