SF Wraps

This was an accidental find as I was walking around looking for some grub. The small shop was inviting with someone ordering and 4 patrons sitting down at the 8 spaces available for seating.
The owner (I’m guessing) took my order with a smile and friendly conversation. While I was waiting on my food, one of the female patrons had leftovers and the owner asked if she needed a bag. He bagged it for her. Amazing service!
The menu is simply appetizers, soups and salads, wraps, and plates. They also have some cookies and baklava.
I got the chicken gyro plate which comes with a salad. It was good, not great, but lots of meat with plenty of sauce.
Try them out!

Great service, the owner? was super friendly and accommodating, even cut the gyro in half for me and offered a paper bag and extra foil for leftovers. Gyro was much larger than I expected, great value for price !

I had the vegetarian wrap and it was really good! Great place to get a quick bite in union square and employees are very friendly.

Ordered to go and the tzatziki sauce was way passed spoiled. I spit it out.
My total was $ 12.80 yet the cashier gave me $ 0.12 change.
I wasn’t given a receipt and as a stood waiting for my food about two minutes after my order the cashier welcomed me again and asked for my order. I told him I already paid and he nodded like he recalled taking my order.
The giant guy making my food wasn’t wearing gloves and was constantly wiping his brow because he was sweating like mad.
I have them one star for being open when everything else was closed. They lost stars for short changing me, forgetting my order, the unsanitary conditions, and for serving me sauce that clearly was bad.

Remember the post-​credits ending of «The Avengers»? Yeah, as the superheroes were all sitting around a table as they all tried the shawarmas. You couldn’t quite tell whether they were exhausted from the battle against the Chitauri to save the planet or they just weren’t into the shawarmas. After trying SF Wraps, I tend to think the latter since there are few things more disappointing than a marginal shawarma at lunch. At least that’s what happened to me when I came in here in a hurry before heading back into the office. Now this used to be California Golden Cookies, but even though the cookies are still for sale, the purveyors finally switched the name to something more accurate about their menu.
They offer the standard Greek options like spanakopita, hummus, falafels, gyros and ah yes, wraps. The name change hasn’t done anything to improve the quality of the food here though. I ordered the supposedly fool-​proof $ 8.45 Shawarma Wrap, which was a somewhat crusty piece of lavash slathered with hummus and tahini sauce and rolled around shards of beef and lamb gyros, cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce and chopped red onions (photo:
). It just tasted off, really off, with the meat having that unmistakable consistency of post-​freezer burn. I ate a third of it but no more. Now I know how Iron Man feels. The cookies still looked good, and truth be told, that’s what most of the incoming customers appeared to be seeking. Maybe they should have just kept the name.
FOOD — 2 stars… a disappointing shawarma is like a motherless child
AMBIANCE — 2.5 stars… same tight spot as before, nothing’s changed so grab a table if you must
SERVICE — 2.5 stars… order at the counter, that’s it
TOTAL — 2 stars… I think you’ll have better luck at Ayola

Yum yum yum yum yum yum!
Came here twice in one week. Once drunkenly after happy hour and once after an afternoon meeting where I soberly confirmed that this place is super yummy!
I got the same thing both times. I’m on a gluten free diet since the new year and pescetarian so my options are limited. I always get the falafel plate minus the bread. The hummus is by far my favorite! I usually love babaganoush (I will have to google and respell this later) but the one here is very bland. I wonder if they can give just two servings of the hummus instead. I usually am not a fan of falafel but theirs is not bad, especially smothered in the hummus. The side salad is bomb too!
They serve everything in a plastic takeout box regardless if you’re dining in or out. You have to ask them for water and there are desserts in the display case. They’re surprisingly pricey though so I haven’t gotten any. The guys here are super friendly and one of the few places open late.

While staying in the bay for the week, I was hungry late at night and couldn’t find many places open.
Fortunately, I found this place on Unilocal and it’s a GEM. I got the gyro wrap and it was absolutely delicious. It was big and filled with fresh, healthy ingredients. My lady got the rice plate and the portion was big and she loved it! Furthermore, their service was TOP NOTCH. We were treated really well and their staff was extremely friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend to anybody who’s in SF & needs a late night bite (also great for lunch/​dinner during the day!)

I got the turkey breast wrap and subbed the mayo & mustard for hummus. It was pretty good except the fact the turkey was cubed and tasted very plastic/​chewy? It was also very salty. Everything else include the lavash wrap, veggies & hummus tasted good though! My boyfriend got the grilled chicken wrap & it was soooo much better.
The guy who took our order was also very nice because we made several modifications to our orders. The order was made very quickly & the wraps were pretty large & filling! HOWEVER, I saw the worker in the back who made our sandwiches not use any gloves while assembling our wrap… it’s food service. Gloves are necessary whenever you make food. Kinda disgusting now that I think of it. I didn’t get sick though so I’m glad but this place is more on the lower end if you want greek food. There’s other better places!

Pros
Huge sando. Size. Shawarma.
Cons
Mystery meat inside. I was hungry (lunch less today) and I still could not finish it. The bread and other elements fine, but the meat was just not good gyro level

We searched for an hour for dinner in the financial district. Almost everything was closed because of Chinese New Year or the fact that it was post-​5pm.
SF Wraps saved the day, though they really should go for more of a Greek name. I really enjoyed my gyro platter and the baklava hit the spot! My spice-​loving boyfriend commented that his Gyro Wrap was spicy — translation: he could’ve breathed flames — so, beware!
Thank you, come again? Too much to try nearby if we were ever back that way

«Oh no!» This cheetah cries as he arrives to his restaurant of choice nearby. «Closed!»
I found myself unsure of where to go for a quick lunch item as the place I had originally wanted to go to nearby was closed for some reason.
Wandering back and forth the streets, I happened across SF wraps and decided to give it a go!
I am a sucker for falafel so I decided to try to get the falafel wrap! Unfortunately, they were sold out! A place that advertises falafel proudly, sold out at lunch time??? How? :(
Oh well, decided to get the avacado wrap instead.
The wrap was done quickly and served nice and warm in foil. The wrap itself was very flavorful and light, but it seemed like the fillings of veggies and sauce was lacking in flavor. Would have liked maybe some sort of more flavorful spread or maybe dressing. Even salt and pepper would have done a world of good for it.
Overall, the wrap was nice and light, and had this cat decently satisfied. I may come back and try one of the other wraps, hopefully next time they have falafel!
*chirp!*

Food (⁴⁄₅): I got the avocado wrap, which was decent — it would have been amazing with salt and pepper though! It came with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and tahini. The tahini was a tiny bit watery. My bf got the gyro wrap, which I thought was much more flavorful. We really liked the gyro meat, and the food tasted really fresh. I wish the lavash was more toasted, though, but overall the food was pretty good.
Service (⁵⁄₅): The owner is super nice, and even checked up on us and filled our water cups, something I totally didn’t expect at such a casual place.
Value (⁴⁄₅): I think we paid about $ 10.60 each for a sizable wrap, and I was definitely full after the meal.

Grabbed dinner here last night to take back to my hotel. Had a combination of two wraps and it included chicken, feta, red onions cucumbers and tzatziki sauce. Impossible to go wrong with these ingredients, right? Right. The service was fast and friendly, the bread was good and not overly filling, the portion was hefty and the ingredients were tasty and fresh. All and all, I am pleased with my experience and will be back next time I am hungry and in the neghborhood

***ASK ALI (or Reza) for the wraps a little «PERSIAN STYLE» as I call it! (not on the menu but that’s how they made it for me and I called it that – by that I mean DO NOT skip the onions and pickles! And whatever else he puts in there! It was like a gooey crispy saucy meaty party in my mouth!
The staff at this little hole in the wall are friendly (and seem to care for the local folks in the area, which makes me happier to support their business!)They have a lot of experience: the owner had a cookie and brownie shop for many years. Great place for a quick bite… sweets, salad, soup, and no frills but satisfying Mediterranean wraps. They serve late night and have very large portions.

My gf and I were in the city for drinks and a concert at the Masonic when we Unilocaled this place for a quick bite. We split a lamb gyro which we liked to call a «gyritto» because it’s a lot like a Mediterranean burrito. Meat, veggies, sauce were good and it was tasty. Service was good and timely. It wasn’t mind-​blowing however or a must try kind of place, hence the 4 stars. We aren’t deterred from being returning customers, but there are lots of restaurants down the strip of where this place is located to try as well

Prices are a little ridiculous — $ 9.50 for a gyro, but I suppose SF is a little ridiculous overall these days. I went around 6:30pm on a Sunday night and the place was entirely empty. The gyro was okay — well spiced meat and solid portion.
I’d probably come back but it would have to be very late, and I would have to be a little more inebriated…

This place is good when you want to avoid the long lunch lines in fidi on a week day. The food is fine, not great but not terrible. What I like is that for the price (~$ 7-​$ 8) compared to other lunch places in the area, you get a good amount of food. Taste wise I’ve had better gyros, but I’ve definitely had worse. The meat was tender but overall I thought the wrap could have had a little more flavor.

Ordered the Lentil soup and Falafel plate. The salad and falafels were fresh. The soup was hot and fresh as well.
Great staff and Christmas movies to boot. Perfect late night winter experience.

C’mon people. You know what this place is all about: it’s about stuffing your pie hole with a delicious wrap thing. Get a delicious wrap thing for lunch and put it in your mouth hole. There are probably fancier or more intricate options around at that time. But it’s zippy and it’s simple.
Or, like the rest of us, rejoice that this place is open until around last call, and get in there in the middle of the late night and stuff your drunk mouth hole with delicious food. It’s not JUST a place to get your drunk self something in the belly (or drunk friends or coworkers in the case of us non-​drinkers), but it’s ESPECIALLY good for that.
Combo wrap for me – a little gyro meat and a little chicken. It could have used a tad more sauce, but I hardly noticed as it was stuffed in my mouth hole and down my gullet. Good grief, it was just what I wanted. And the priced wasn’t terrible. And the quantity was more than one could want. Slap it sloppily into your mouth, chomp down, and repeat.

I wanted to like this place more. I came in around 9PM, so not like a late night drunken «FEEDME!» moment.
The service was great. Very prompt and attentive.
But the food wasn’t what it should have been. I got the gyro plate.
The portion was large, no question. A lot of meat, a lot of hummus, and more tzatziki than one person could eat. But unfortunately, it was a situation where more ended up being less.
The meat: When you have a rotisserie gyro stand going, I sort of expect my gyro to come from that. Not pulled out of a rice cooker/​crock pot in the back. And certainly not just chunks (not slices) of meat. To me, what makes a gyro (or shwarma, or döner kebab) REAL is that mix of crisp and tender… cutting the meat off as it is ready. What I got was salty beef cubes, warmed in a heater. No texture. And, I’m assuming homemade, because it lacked seasoning other than the salty flavor.
The sides: the hummus had a nice flavor, but was watery. And the tzatziki tasted like what I could buy at a Cash & Carry. If it was homemade, it needs a major garlic and dill injection.
I really wanted to like this more. The owner seems honestly caring and responsive to feedback here, so I’m hoping this comes across as constructive feedback rather than bitching.
All this place needs to be awesome is a bit less quantity and a bit more quality.

Great food. I loved the Gyro wrap!

We are visiting from Dallas and fortunately SF Wraps was open Thanksgiving Day for dinner. I had a gyro plate that came with gyro meat, small salad, hummus, tzatziki, and bread. Portion size was good but wish I had gotten some more bread. Good flavors and thankful they were open.
Btw, my wife had a gyro wrap which was enough for 2 people to share.
I also had the Turkish Delight which was only okay but expensive at $ 5.

First time visiting San Francisco, so I hit up China town for food at night (bad idea) — lots of places closed, EXCEPT for SF Wraps, so I check it out because I like Gyros. I forget the name of the owner (I think it was the owner that I spoke with… edit: Reza!!!) and he was incredibly friendly. I got one of their Gyros, which is HUGE and deliciously stuffed with meat and vegetables. The meat was great, everything about it was wonderful, I went back to my hotel satisfied after eating it inside the shop — a tiny little place that, I’m told, has been open for over 30 years, which is amazing.
Note: SF Wraps does not accept bills over $ 20. I only had a $ 50 in addition to $ 12 in cash. The owner shaved a dollar and change off my total price, which was BADASS!!! I was made to feel welcome to San Francisco because of SF Wraps, and you can bet that I will be going back next time I am in town: D

Do not get the gyro!
I made this mistake twice and had to make sure I wrote a review to remind myself and others. That’s the only thing I have gotten here but it was terrible enough that I would never go to this place again.
What’s wrong with it? The biggest problem is the meat. It’s not gyro meat. It tastes horrible. I couldn’t finish my wrap both times.
All the things that go with it are the bad version too. It’s a gyro with lettuce and in a lavash. I hate Gyros with lettuce (not greek) and lavash gyros are always worse than pita gyros. And this is packaged, not fresh lavash like you get in the Middle East.

You know how when you take an exam, you get 1 point for simply writing your name on the paper? That’s how I feel about SF Wraps. The establishment exists, so it gets one attendance point.
The gyro plate was abysmal — the meat tasted like fried spam (no texture, extremely mushy, zero flavor, oily). The hummus was very thin and watery. The lavash was really thin and tasteless, and the vegetables/​yogurt were foul and slightly sweet. The chicken plate wasn’t much better. While it didn’t taste like spam, the babaghanoush was awful. I was also surprised that neither of the plates came with rice — that’s a first for any Mediterranean joint I’ve been. After a few bites of each, we had to throw out both dishes.
I hate giving this a terrible review, because service was really friendly and accommodating. But given the average standard of Bay Area restaurants, this was incredibly disappointing and a loss of $ 25.

Surprisingly enough it’s very tough to find a place to grab dinner around the Financial District — perhaps all the executives ain’t working on weekends, who knows?
Three people in our group wanted a kebab so we start searching for one that was close to the hotel and nice.
SF Wraps has a small store with a few tables to sit and eat. I ordered the Shawarma without changing anything. It took us about 5 minutes to get the order, which I think was pretty fast. \
Wrap was good but the meat did not taste like shawarma at all. I was not expecting an authentic turkish meal, but did get a little disappointed. I think prices were high, if you think this is a «fast food» place, but the portions are quite big. They are open until very late at night so it’s perfect to grab some after hours, drunken snacks.

I came here with a few work colleagues and we were all craving for some good kebab. Although we did find a pretty tasty wrap here, I would not say their shawarma tastes like the real deal. It was definitely good, but the meat was pretty different from what I expected (it was more similar to kofte than to actual shawarma I would say).
Despite that, I enjoyed my meal, and the wrap was quite big (which seems fair considering the price, 10 USD). The staff was nice and efficient and I would totally return, but if you are in the mood for a proper turkish kebab, this is probably not the best option. The store is quite small but there are are a few tables available, and although it seems like there is no bathroom, there is one hidden in the back, all you have to do is ask.

A friend and I decided to give SF Wraps a try for dinner. We went to Greece years ago so we’re always up for trying a new Mediterranean place.
We ordered the gyros to go and asked if they could add avocado. They both came to about $ 12 each. We waited about 20 minutes. The gyro was a really good portion and was filled with meat (lamb and beef), cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, lettuce and tzatziki sauce. I ordered it mild and it was still more on the spicy side. The meat didn’t taste as fresh as I expected, but the amount of food you get for what you pay makes SF Wraps a great option if you’re in the area and are looking for something to grab and go.

I thank my lovely ladies, Unilocal app and the great bars that got me tipsy in order to be able to find this place. The lovely ladies and I were bar hopping near the financial district/​Broadway area and after leaving the bar we decided to stop and get something to eat so we can bring our drinking high down. We noticed SF Wraps, not because of its looks but because it smelled SO DAMN GOOD from a mile away and plus it’s open really late! LITERALLY! We followed our nose and decided to give it a try after we seem tons of people walking out of here with BIG ol wraps in there hand!
I walked in and was greeted my Reza who is the owner very nice pleasant man. I stated to him that it was my first time and after looking at the menu I was kind of overwhelmed by all the different food options. All I knew was that I wanted whatever the other people had that smelled so delicious! Reza stated to me that many people order the Gyro Wrap.
The food is LEGIT here! The cooks name is Pablo and let me just say, «He knows how to get down in the kitchen». The food is tasty, flavorful and the portions are nice and you will leave you full. I still can’t believe I was able to take down a whole wrap but I guess that’s what happens when you are tipsy and hungry! Not only are the wraps a huge portion but the salads… OMG! They looked so dang good and there huge! You have to order one to see for yourself. The have many good options of food but I really recommend the Wraps!
Seating area is small inside with a couple of tables and chairs so don’t be alarmed but the food will make it all worth it!
I never even knew this place existed and I am so thankful I found this! I can now eat healthy late at night when in the SF area and I don’t have to feel guilty! I know where to come to now and with the great customer service from Reza there is NO WAY I am second guessing myself when in the area!
I will be back Reza and SF Wraps!

Thank the whiskey & beer gods for SF Wraps because they are ideally located across the street from Rickhouse and they are open just as late. Not only that but their prices are fair, the portions huge and food delicious. It is truly a saving grace when you and your friends are on a long night of walking, brewery and bar crawling on a Saturday night.
Knowing very well that I was going to be starving after a night of miles of walking, beer & whiskey drinking, it was comforting to know that there was a place nearby that was open late that served up some solid food options.
A friend and I came here after leaving Rickhouse. I forget what my friend ordered but I got a Beef Shawarma Wrap ($ 8-​$ 9) and an order of Falafel. The Falafel was decent but at about $ 6 I’m not sure I’d really feel the need to order it again but it seemed like a good idea at the time. The wrap on the other hand was massive, filling and simply delicious. It was exactly what I needed after a long day of starvation. I won’t lie to you, I almost felt like ordering a second one.
Seriously, this is exactly what is needed in this area. In a city of bustling night life and excellent bars, you’re going to need a place with some solid, affordable and quality food options for some post-​drinking indulgence. SF Wraps meets that requirement quite well and surpasses it. If you’re drinking at Rickhouse or something else nearby and you’re hungry afterwards, you’d be foolish to pass this place up.
If I ever end up visiting and doing the same crawl again, you’ll know where to find me getting my grub on at the end of the night.

My friends and I came here at around 1 or 2 am looking for a great place to eat. We were lucky to stumble upon this place! Located deep in the city near the nightlife areas, this is an ideal place to grab a quick bite as the night winds down.
The owner was very friendly to us as we ordered. Since it was our first time, he gave us detailed descriptions of what was on the menu. He also didn’t mind having a decent conversation with us which is nice to have at a late night restaurant.
I ended up ordering the Shawarma wraps which were delicious! The meat was tender and there was tons of flavor. I especially liked the sauce as it was tasty and complemented the Shawarma pretty well. It’s also wrapped up nicely in foil making it easy to take home in case you don’t finish it.
I really like this place a lot since it’s open late at night and they make delicious Shawarma wraps! The owners are friendly and are willing to talk to you. The place is kinda small but luckily it wasn’t crowded when we went as we were able to relax and enjoy our food. I will keep this place in mind on my next late night adventure around the city!
