One of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco at the moment is Yemeni Kabab & Mediterranean near Market & Taylor.

The traditional haneeth, kabsa and mandi plates are excellent. The mezzes are fantastic. They have very affordable lunch plates too, and I love the tea they offer. One of those small homey places with seriously good food and vibes.

It’s much better than restaurants in that category that cost 2x more.

G-JMAC, British Aerospace Jetstream 4100, owned by the Speke Aerodrome heritage group, in the manufacturers in-house demonstrator livery, on display in the rear car park of the Crowne Plaza hotel, Liverpool John Lennon Airport (formerly Speke Airport), 11th March 2025.
This is probably the best preserved exhibit here, but is also the youngest exhibit.
The large car park here is actually the apron area for the original terminal building, which has now been converted into a hotel.

Not many people know this, but San Francisco is home to a large Yemeni diaspora, especially around the Tenderloin / Nob Hill area. That's why we have so many good Yemeni coffee and cake places (Delah Coffee, Haraz). Most of the grocers are also run by the community.

A newish restaurant just opened. 'Yemeni kabab & Mediterranean' . Really excellent. Some of the best falafel I've had anywhere in this city. Everything is good really. I've been really wanting this style of food (different from regular Mediterranean' as it uses more spices) so I am happy it opened. I hope it does well. Try any of the haneeth and kabsas. I love well flavored rice like that.

Very affordable lunch sets.

My favorite bánh mì in SF right now is at Bo&Beurre, kitty corner across from Saigon Sandwich (which is fine, but B&B just has far better ingredients and flavor). It’s also almost 2x the price of Saigon. But I am fine paying that coz I like it 3x more.

One day (soon) I will write a list of all the bánh mì stores in the Tenderloin and what to get from each.
