Lokma

Yummy and FRESH. It’s been a while that we’ve eaten anywhere where to food tastes vibrant and alive AND reasonably place. This place was truly a gem, and we enjoyed everything we ordered. The appetizers were particularly scrumptious and fun to share. Food was fun and innovative without being pretentious (most SF restaurants are), was perfectly seasoned, not too salty, not oily at all - made us actually FEEL great and not bloated afterwards - wow. We’re definitely coming back!

Great spot in the Richmond for brunch. I usually go without a reservation and the wait time is always reasonable. The staff are all kind and provide excellent service while dining in. The food here is always fantastic and I can't recommend the "Turkish Breakfast" sampler plate enough. It comes with an assortment of both savory and sweet items that pair well with the pita bread and/or the eggs + sausage that the breakfast comes with. My absolute favorite pairing is the cream & honey (kaymak) spread on top of the pita bread, and eaten with the fruit and walnuts that the plate comes with. The Turkish tea and the coffee are also a must try if you haven't had them before. Their parklet seating area is beautiful and well-kept, which makes eating here on a sunny day a wonderful experience. The cream of mushroom soup is amazing!

Service and experience was excellent. First time at the restaurant and we’d definitely come back again. Short rib, chicken/rice and dumplings were our favourite. Patas Bravas and beets were great appetizers. We’ll probably skip the branzino next time because the other dishes were soooo much better. New fav spot!

Nice place to have Turkish breakfast in SF 👍🏻 We visited SF for couple days and it was great to have a Turkish breakfast in downtown. We went there party of 8 and tried couple of breakfast options. They tasted great. Turkish breakfast for 2 was enough for 4 person with the side dishes we ordered. The only thing we needed was a nice bread, they only had pita option sadly. Service was nice and the vibe was great, we seated outside and it was great. I recommend checking this place out.

Brunch in the city is almost always overrated, but Lokma is one of the few spots we’ve tried that is really doing something exciting! Really loved the turkish brunch, which was a refreshing departure from the regular eggs/pancakes etc repertoire we typically see. The greek yogurt pancakes are so fluffy, the texture is absolutely perfect. Really loved the trio of dips, and menemen (turkish egg scramble) as well. Definitely also recommend trying the turkish sausage.

Good Turkish food, excellent service and vibe of the restaurant. Had birthday dinner with my family outdoors on a nice day. We had a few appetizers (manti, meatballs, stuffed zucchini) and I ate the braised short rib and tried some stuffed eggplant as well. The staff also lit a candle on a cake for my birthday celebration which was really nice. Food was on par, price wise, with San Francisco standards, especially in the Richmond area. Felt good eating the food, which was served with a lot of vegetables. Will need to try it for breakfast next time I’m in the area.
