Selinay Filiz pushes back on the claim that San Francisco lacks good Turkish food by listing five local picks and two Peninsula additions. Her recommendations span fine dining, casual breakfast and lunch, neighborhood dining, pide, dessert at Kitchen Istanbul, and charcoal-grilled Turkish BBQ in Sunnyvale.

Someone yesterday told me they don’t know a single good Turkish place in SF. My top 5: -Dalida (Presidio) fine dining, Turkish-Mediterranean -Healthyish Republic (Mission) good Turkish breakfast and lunch items -Lokma (Richmond) cozy neighborhood gem -Anatolian Table (Mission) authentic, low-key, good pide -Kitchen Istanbul, heard it's also pretty good but I only tried Kunefe there. PS: If we include peninsula, Meyhouse (Palo Alto) best overall and Mangal in Sunnyvale if you want real Turkish BBQ over charcoal. Let me know if i am missing anything!
