Ziryab has been one of my favorite dinner spots for years. I was ecstatic to find out that they recently began opening for breakfast and lunch 7 days a week!! The breakfast and lunch menu is fantastic. Delicious breakfast creations. They also have a fantastic happy hour menu with cheap snacks and drinks. And as always, there is hookah. Definitely try this place for breakfast!

outdoor seating in the front with heatlamps is a huge plus for me, especially since you can smoke the hookah outside on a chilly SF night. the food is uninspired though. huge HUGE shawarmas but slathered in hummus and oil. it's a bit too heavy for my taste. i've been here twice and each time felt like i had to be rolled home. do not get the shrimp appetizer as it comes with like 2 shrimp and costs $13 - outragious. instead, try the lamb and veal shawarma. its cheap, it's good, it's absolutely immoral and not peta friendly, but probably the best thing i've had on the menu.

I live in the neighborhood and frequent this great new Mediterranean restaurant. On a sunny day, the front patio is a lovely place to sit and enjoy a beer and hookah. I especially like the maza platter and the tagines - seafood, chicken, vegetable or lamb. The service is friendly and attentive and the owners will go out of there way to make you feel at home here.
