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". One day, Savor may offer alcoholic beverages but in the meantime, guests are invited to bring their favorite bottle from home.

We were a little concerned when we walked in, as the website is lovely but the restaurant looked a little sketchy. Once we entered, however, we were treated like royalty! The food was FANTASTIC, and the owner was a joy. So accommodating, and clearly happy to have people who enjoyed his food so very much. We will definitely be going back! This is a find.

This was the kind of eating experience that was so good that with each bite all we wanted to do is take another another one. The mushroom soup that came with our meals was a symphony of flavors! We both ate 100% of everything we ordered. When we finished, there was only one thing to do, order desert! Thank you for such a delicious, lovely dining experience.

Fresh and unique menu of mostly vegan delicious food. The daily soup (Cauliflower quinoa) was exceptional. Would have been happy with that and the Yemeni oat chai. But glad we also tried the green Spanish melt and Savor platter. A perfect meal and experience in a quiet little cafe near Golden Gate Park (Inner Sunset). Looking forward to trying more of the menu.

Chef Mohamed creates the most amazing vegetarian and vegan dishes and desserts, some of which are gluten free. It is a small, intimate space. The dishes are made for sharing. Meat-eating friends we took there said they could easily be vegetarian if it was all this flavorful. We have learned to always order the soup.

Truly amazing vegetarian food! Don’t miss this casual gem, hidden away in S.F. The soups are always amazing and come with entrees at lunch. I go almost weekly, which says something in a city with so many choices.

Fantastic vegan and vegetarian food - innovative and delicious. Simple but very tasteful presentation and an “old world” charm and atmosphere with delicious wine and incredible desserts - like Grandma used to make. Loved it!
