The Best San Francisco Restaurants for Middle Eastern Food | Eater SF

"At Beit Rima, young chef Samir Mogannam is serving a mix of heartfelt Jordanian and Palestinian dishes like fattoush, chicken shish tawook platters, and bowls of hummus ma’ Lehma (warm hummus topped with spiced beef). Named for his mother, the restaurant was formerly his father’s, a location of the small chain Burgermeister. With Beit Rima, Mogannam sought to return to his family’s culinary roots. Don’t miss his crispy falafel, puffy homemade bread, or light, floral muhalabia milk pudding for dessert." - Dianne de Guzman
