    Lokma always deliverers. The food is terrific. Lamb and beef meatballs (kofke) were delicious, the presidio salad with yoghurt marinated chicken wonderfully yummy and the dumplings (manti) were divine. Highly recommend

    Rolled the dice having never been here, but trusted the reviews and arranged a business dinner for two executives who are in the California fresh produce industry, happen to be vegetarian and had not been to San Francisco since before the pandemic (no pressure….). Everything about our dinner was truly fabulous. We ordered a wide range of dishes (olives, hummus platter, cauliflower, wheatberry risotto, eggplant) and were blown away. The food and preparation were outstanding, the service was exceptional and the ambiance was warm and welcoming. Will absolutely return for a personal meal and put on the list for work dinners.

    A beautiful new restaurant on the Embarcadero. We came with a group of 5, and everyone loved the delicious cocktails (and mocktail) along with our decadent meals! The trout was our favorite… yummy! And service was flawless. Thanks for talking such good care of us, even though we stayed a bit after closing. You all made us feel welcome all the way until the end. Thank you.
