Savor offers healthy, vegetarian, and modern Arabic food in the charming inner Sunset neighborhood. Stop by and try the many plant-based dishes that are creative and delicious. After owning Saha in San Francisco and Berkeley for 17 years, Chef Mohamed is excited to bring his newest spin on Arabic-fusion cuisine but this time offering a vegetarian-only menu. Savor offers an experience that has been described as "food that you find at a fine-dining restaurant but served in a casual environment with reasonable prices".

Kokkari (pronounced “Ko-Kar-ee”) is a small fishing village located on the islands of Samos in the Aegean Sea, whose name is derived from the small onions that were once produced in the nearby fields. Its fertile soil and Mediterranean climate translated into an abundance of fresh produce as well as treasured seafood and game. Legend tells that Kokkari is the site where Orion, a mighty hunter and a young man of gigantic stature and great beauty, fell in love with the daughter of the king of Chios. For the love of her, Orion forged the island for wild game and seafood to prepare elaborate banquets in celebration of their love. Today, we hope you will enjoy your own celebration as you dine at Kokkari Estiatorio on food “fit for the Gods” prepared with an Aegean palate and the style of innovative California fare.
