The flavors are good and the outside patio quite lovely. But twice now that I have been there they messed up our food. What time they lost our order and we had to take our food go after 90 minutes, the other time they didn’t bring two of our appetizers at all. Food is OK but service not great.

We sat outside and the restaurant was very busy, but we never had to wait a minute for anything. The atmosphere at this spot is great. We were there with our grown son, and we were definitely the oldest folks there, but it all felt very inclusive and is a great restaurant for everyone. The appetizers were all fantastic, and be sure to order extra pita bread. It is sooooooo good. Soft, hot and nicely spiced. The steak skewer was perfectly cooked, and we had that with the fatoosh salad. The lemonade with mint is delicious. We street parked one block over and walked through a Salesforce courtyard, so that was super convenient. We will definitely be going back.

The food was good, but the indoor seating is space incredibly and uncomfortably close together and the noise level makes it impossible to have a conversation.

We had reservations and arrived early. The staff sat us early and were friendly and accommodating. It was a cool evening. The manager offered us outside dining under a heat lamp. Very cozy and warm atmosphere. Try the crispy brussel sprouts and the avocado hummus. It was also date night and our waiter was kind enough to take pictures of us so we could commemorate the occasion. Thank you for a great dining experience.

It was our first time in this lovely restaurant and we all enjoyed every single items we got for appetizers, main and desserts. It was such a good food experience that when I woke up in the morning the first thing came to my mind was all the yummy food we ate for dinner….. totally recommend!

Unfortunately the day we were dining for our business lunch (Friday May 6), the food was not as good as it has been previously. Our party has enjoyed great food at Barcha for business lunches previously, but on this occasion my shrimp was severely overcooked and dried out and my colleague also mentioned his chicken was similar. Perhaps it was an off day.

Great menu with multiple tempting options. I have been to the restaurant a few times, and each time the food and the dining experience have been excellent. The service is great and all of the staff are incredibly accomodating. On the last visit, we were seated outside and the staff was very busy adjusting heaters and rearranging seating for patrons who opted to dine outside but hoped to avoid experiencing the elements. They returned multiple times to make certain that diners were comfortable. I have recommended this restaurant to friends and I will continue to do so.

Great dining spot for Mediterranean cuisine. I have had dinner here before multiple times and highly recommend it for both dates (especially early dates) and for business casual meals. The food is outstanding except for the New York Steak (the cut is not ideal for the price and I would just recommend focusing on the theme and dropping the steak from your menu altogether). Shukshasa, the duck, the skewers, and the deserts are all top-notch and bring back memories of my travels. Highly recommend the smoky persian cocktail! The staff and the manager (a lovely greek gentleman) are just fantastic, helpful, and attentive. Ask them for recommendations if you don't know the cuisine and they will help you find your way. The noise levels are pretty spirited outside and are only amplified by the mirror looking into the restaurant itself, you will be able to hear your date but not if you are trying to do a business meeting.

This was my 2nd time in 2 weeks at Barcha - both business lunches. Food is very good, Service is good but a bit slow. The restaurant was full - every table was occupied. Presumably, like almost every other business, they are probably having staffing issues. Its a noisy location, especially if you are seated outside (like we were).

Went for a group lunch, service was great, food was a little meh. Have had dinner there before and would recco that meal instead. Love the continuation of outdoor dining in SF though, it's a luxury we never had prior to Covid and I hope most places continue the option, especially because our weather is pretty mild most of the year.

Totally packed on a Wednesday night and yet the staff was very attentive. Initially we were seated next to a table of a dozen folks celebrating, having a good time and extremely noisy. Understandably so but we asked the maître d’ if they could change our table and he was very accommodating and understanding. Since we are older we preferred a bit quieter ambience. Wish they could cushion the acoustics because as we were leaving at 8 PM it was incredibly noisy. Regardless, given the food and the service I would still highly recommend this restaurant and will visit again and request outdoor seating which may be quieter.
