Can’t believe I just discovered this place now. Amazing food, affordable, kind staff. I live around the area but had never seen it until now. I got the chicken doner: the flavor was great, the staff was super kind and helped to recommend me the right dish. I don’t know how this place isn’t more popular. I wanted to try something slightly more affordable on union and I found this gem. Definitely will be back!!!
We love this place! Everything is delicious - our go-tos are the chicken döner (super flavorful, big portions), Anatolian cheese, pistachio date smoothie, and frankly all the sweets (and the Turkish coffee is amazingly fragrant and very cardamon-y, complements the sweets perfectly). Rarely do we find excellent, authentic middle eastern out here in SF. Highly recommend supporting this small business if you’re in the area!
Beautiful space with extremely tasty food. The staff / owners are so kind and helpful. The space is bright, open, and quiet enough to work/study. Coffee is great! I also got a rose water latte which was so tasty. The falafel sandwich is one of the best ones I’ve had in the city
Kaloj is such a gem for a Mediterranean halal brunch spot. The staff member was incredibly nice and friendly, which instantly made the experience feel welcoming. The space itself is cozy, warm, and comfortable—perfect for a relaxed brunch vibe. There’s paid parking available nearby, which is convenient. We ordered the breakfast chicken burrito, and I added avocado to mine. The chicken was amazingly soft and tender, and the little dash of hot sauce tied everything together perfectly. The flavors were balanced, comforting, and honestly so satisfying. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and recommend for brunch lovers looking for halal options.
We were walking down Union Street and came across Kolaj, a Mediterranean restaurant with a clean, simple space run by a Syrian owner. We ordered the Kolaj beef döner wrap and chicken döner wrap, and both were fresh and good. The sauce had a mix of spices, cinnamon, yogurt, and garlic, which worked well together. The vegetables and meat tasted fresh. At the end, the owner offered us baklava and a sample of Italian coffee, which was sweet and nice. The owner and staff were friendly. I’d come back again if you’re looking for something quick, fresh, and healthy.
