This place is a hidden gem. Glad followed the top star reviews on Yelp. Service was great, easy to book and food was out of the world. We were a big party. All of us unanimously agreed it was one of the best meal. We were so full with appetizers and yet tried some entrees. Had a bday request and they offered a dessert to celebrate.
Our server Camille was very good.

Great food. Prompt Service. Good location. Great value.
(1) decent size menu with a good representation of authentic Turkish food. Mousakka and stuffed eggplant were good. Chocolate hazelnut pyramid was awesome (with ice-cream). Free bread is offered. It is good but nothing to write home about.
(2) location off Mission is pretty convenient
(3) atmosphere is great. While we went for a business dinner, seemed like a great location for a romantic meal
(4) prompt, attentive service
(5) Prices are reasonable for the quality and location.

I've been a huge fan of Tuba for for a few years now, and I wish there were more restaurants like this in SF. The service is friendly and attentive, and the Turkish menu options are unique and well made. I enjoy the fact that when I open the menu, there are a variety of Turkish dishes and wines I've not seen before at other restaurants.

In particular, I'm a huge fan of the Cevizle Ezme as an appetizer. It's a bright mash of ground walnuts, bell pepper, tomato and various herbs and spices. They come as flavorful scoops that you can spread over the comforting, fresh bread that comes complimentary.

For entrees, the Hunkar Begendi is my favorite. It's like a pureed eggplant that has the comforting texture of mashed potatoes, but with subtle eggplant chunkiness that I like. (I'm not usually a fan of eggplant, but I enjoy this dish.)

The Sarma Beyti Kebab is also great: a juicy kebab wrapped in lavash (a thin bread), sliced and plated in an eye catching way, and with great dollops of tomato and yogurt sauce in the center. The kebab wrap slices are sized for great bites, and the sauces in the center add a lot to the flavor.

Desserts and Turkish wines are great too. So many great and unique dessert options; the kunefe is my favorite.

All in all, I enjoy this place as a unique presentation of Turkish dishes I can't easily find elsewhere elsewhere, and a place with great comfort food.

Note: has good outdoor seating options with space heaters.

Good meze and good wine,  in a plywood structure in a bike lane with a heat lamp. No complaints.

Oh,  also my dessert contained garbanzo beans. My dessert.

All the food we ordered was delicious. Walnut ezme was especially quite good.  Turkish tea was a real "Turkish tea" not mix with other countries tea.
They used real butter for the Kunefe as it should be. Cheese in the Kunefe was  generous as well.

Atmosphere is very relax and casual. Servers and stuff are professional.

Overall it was a good experience.
