Cafe Mystique

"I’ve been coming to Cafe Mystique for several years now and it never disappoints. I’ve been here for everything from dates and friend hangouts to casual drinks and hosting family from out of town. It’s consistently one of my top recommendations in the city! ​The Lamb Risotto is easily my favorite dish (the lamb is Halal and sourced from New Zealand), and their Sangria is absolutely delicious, especially on a warm day. While they do serve breakfast, I personally find that their lunch and dinner menus are where they truly shine. Whether you’re stopping by for a midday meal or a night out, you’re in for a great experience. Just a heads-up: it’s a popular spot and can get very busy, so plan accordingly!"

"It was absolutely delicious! The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and the atmosphere was cozy and stylish. Definitely a place I’d come back to"

"I had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Café Mystique! This place is a true gem and exceeded all my expectations. I was incredibly impressed with the menu's fantastic selection. There's a wide variety of delicious and creative options to choose from, catering to different tastes. Everything our table ordered was beautifully prepared, fresh, and full of flavor. It’s clear they use high-quality ingredients. What stands out just as much as the quality of the food is the amazing value. For the price, the portion sizes and the quality you receive are outstanding, which is a rare find in San Francisco. You definitely get more than your money's worth. The atmosphere in the café is cozy and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I can't recommend Café Mystik enough. If you're looking for a place with a superb selection of food and great value, this is it. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! Five stars well-deserved!"

"My partner and I had dinner here for Valentine’s Day and the experience was beyond amazing! We made reservations and were sat immediately. We ordered a paloma and cosmo, had a few tables asking to try out drinks, that’s how yummy they looked! The service was so good we didn’t have to wait much time in between our appetizer and main dishes, but just enough time to savor the calamari. For entrees we ordered the Ribeye Steak medium rare and Lamb Risotto spicy. The steak was cooked beautifully!! We were both STUNNED at how incredible the flavor and texture was— 1000% recommend trying it. For dessert we decided to try the fried banana with vanilla ice cream… it was the most delicious dessert we’ve ever tried. Overall, such a great experience, from the cozy dim lighting to the BART and Muni accessibility."

"Great atmosphere and excellent food. The meat was very tender, the calamari was perfectly crispy, and the garlic flatbread was amazing. Service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back! Thank you Narmela"

"I had the best shrimp pasta in marinara. Perfectly balanced and cooked shrimp so great tasting. Not too hot. First time here. I sat outside on the sidewalk and watched all the cute people walk by."

"This was my first time dining at this restaurant, and I decided to stop by after noticing how inviting it looked from the street. The Christmas decorations were beautifully done and immediately caught my attention, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. When I walked in, the ambiance inside the restaurant was just as impressive. It wasn’t too busy at the time, with about 4-5 tables occupied, which made the experience feel calm and relaxed. The staff provided excellent service, and the food was prepared surprisingly quickly. I truly enjoyed my visit—the atmosphere, the service, and the food were all wonderful. Thank you for a great dining experience!"

"The food was really good and delicious. Good portions too. The drinks were also great and with some different options - never had a Pomegranate cocktail before. Nice atmosphere we had a beautiful end of summer night when we came. The service was a little slow, but it appears they were understaffed."
