A la Turca is a gem. Not a bright shiny one, but a simple space with exotic food. The best way to try its delights is to have the combo platter for two. You get hummus, baba ghanouj, eggplant salad, ezme (a walnut, tomato and pepper dip),… Read Full Editorial
Baklava -yummy by R f via Insider Pages on 12/2/2007
This place can get too crowded and noisy. The location is bad and there is no parking - upper tendorloin in downtown area. I only go here for their sweet delicasy - harissa; others call it baklava. Staffs are efficient and the place looks…
Turkish cuisine on the cheap and extras like house-made pita bread keep 'em coming back to this Tenderloin cafe. by Lorraine Sanders via Citysearch on 7/13/2007
In Short
An unassuming stone facade with simple cafe tables flanking the front door gives way to a casual dining room bounded by mustard-colored walls and deli cases lined with cold appetizers and pastries like walnut kadayif.…
best kebabs by domino_triest via Citysearch on 4/7/2007
Shady neighborhood, wonderful food. The kebabs are full of flavor. The sponge cake is soaked in sweetened rose water, it's overly sweet.
wonderful kebobs by soniasarah via Citysearch on 4/6/2007
If you love kebobs of any kind, you got to try this restaurant in the shady neighborhood of Tenderloin. The portions are huge.
best turkish in the bay area by sadan via Citysearch on 12/8/2006
I've tried all the other so called turkish and mediterrenean restaurants, and a la turca is the best. loved everything i tried from appetizers to pides, sandwiches to kebab platters, so delicious, and priced amazingly low, friendly service…
a so so example of turkish cusine by charlenav via Citysearch on 12/2/2006
first of all, if you have even been to turkey you know that turkish food is amazing. as far as turkish food goes, this place is pretty average. i only come here because turkish food is hard to find in the city. if you have the…
Avoid the DONOR Sandwiches!!!!! by turkishfood via Citysearch on 8/16/2006
The DONOR sandwiches are nothing like the ones you find all over EUROPE. IT REALLY SUKED! The kababs is what I reccomend. I have to agree with one of the reviews about the description on the menu is not what you get sometimes. Oh WELL! …
Tasty kebabs at reasonably priced Tenderloin spot by foodcritic242 via Citysearch on 6/19/2006
This is the one of few inexpensively priced Mediterreanean restaurants in the Tenderloin/Union Square area. The kebabs--lamb in particular--are the standout choices, served with rice, salad and bread. Be sure to try one of the many…
BEST - Just the Best by monkeygirlsf via Citysearch on 7/31/2005
We love this place so much we had our wedding rehearsal dinner here - for what turned out to be almost 50 people. They handled it beautifully: food kept coming; wine kept pouring; they even made room for the belly dancer we brought…

the doner here is amazing!! in fact, anything i've tried, from the salads, to the eggplant, to the sutlac (pudding dessert) , to the turkish coffee was great. the service was fast and friendly, too. definitely better than what i expected,…
The favorite standbye by philologia via Citysearch on 1/13/2005
Whenever we don't know where to eat, we go to this restaurant and get one or more of the following:
-pides (Turkish sausage and cheese is best)
-doner kebab
-special (stews or Sunday's manta)
We highly recommend this place.
Delicious, cheap and quick by nyc81 via Citysearch on 8/20/2004
This is my favoriate place to go when I'm hungry after shopping downtown and don't want to wait forever at a stuffy restaurant for medicore food. The Turkish plates here are big enough to satisfy but not stuff you, delicious!!!,…
Mr P by pons119 via Citysearch on 11/30/2003
The food is wonderfully TURKISH and is the best in the area. If you need great turkish food that won't empty the wallet this is the place.
Don't Bother by nyul via Citysearch on 2/25/2003
This is some of the blandest food I've ever eaten. Everything is cucumber, meat and bread. I ordered a chicken and mushroom pie and didn't get onions or peppers, like it said on the menu. I asked "Where's the onions and peppers?" They…
1 good, 3 bad meals by arptro via Citysearch on 2/8/2003
The first falafel I got was great: grilled lavosh, crisp white cabbage, light sauce, good falafel. But, in the three times since:
1) they forgot the baba in my sandwich and then lied to me when I asked if they charged me for it
2) they…
Best Iskender in US by harley2002 via Citysearch on 1/19/2003
The food at A la Turca was pleasently suprising! Everything we have tried (including the Iskender kebap, Ispanakli peynirli pide, cacik and even the Kunefe!) tasted almost exactly as it would have if we were in Turkey! I will definetely…
