El Mansour - San Francisco

This restaurant is a unique gem with a lovely ambiance. The seating is low and very comfortable, making it a cozy place to relax. They offer a wide variety of teas, and the food is absolutely fantastic.

Don't get the rabbit kabob. Tough and stringy. The fish was fishy. The one piece of lamb kabob a friend gave me was inedible with grizzle. Appetizers and desserts good. But a fun place.

*Vegetarian and nut warning* My friend and I both agreed that neither of us would return here. The food was not worth the price. One major issue that occurred was it is a fixed 5 course menu. I asked if there was an alternative dessert that didn't have nuts and the waiter said he could bring me fruit instead. I was fine with that, but also fruit really isn't dessert. I then didn't notice until I started eating, but one of the appetizers also had nuts in it. My nut allergy is very mild, but this could be an emergency for someone else. I was later also brought the dessert with nuts in it and had to ask again for the fruit instead. The lentil soup was delicious, the salad was also good aside from the eggplant. The chicken bastilla was strange...not something I'd order again, but my friend had a veggie one and he really enjoyed it. The entrees were delicious. I had the chicken with onions and olives (gotta be very careful for small bones). This place had a veggie meal option, but I don't really know if they are actually vegetarian friendly because when my friend ordered it, the waiter asked if he was okay with them using chicken broth.... The seats were comfortable and they had some belly dancing entertainment which was fun.

The food was absolutely delicious! Great service, super kind and friendly staff. The show was great and definitely worth a visit. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

What a delightful and celebratory dining experience! The food is exquisite, the service is exceptionally attentive, and the entertainment is fantastic!
