Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Marina / Cow Hollow / Presidio

Excellent food. A wonderful sommelier who introduced us to wines we had never had before. Loved the experience.

Went here for a group event. Definitely a bit loud (v. popular) so I recommend sitting outside if you can but we had so much fun getting to know each other and eating family style. Everything was delicious and they had options for pescetarians and even non-meat folks, although don't sleep on their lambs or cows. Good drinks and quality service (although could be a bit hard to catch a server's attention - -they were def. busy). Loved that no one hurried us and we spent a full two hours there without ever feeling pressure to leave. my only real sad note is they didn't have baklava - -but their sorbet is so creamy it's mind blowing. Would be equally great for romance for sure :)

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible Mediterranean restaurant, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The value for what you get here is unmatched — portions are generous, and the quality of the ingredients shines through in every dish. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the tone for a relaxing meal. The food? Absolutely spectacular. Every bite was bursting with authentic flavors, from the perfectly grilled meats to the fresh, vibrant salads. The hummus was creamy and smooth, while the baklava for dessert was the ideal balance of sweetness and flakiness. It was clear that each dish was prepared with care and the finest ingredients. As for the service, it was top-notch. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations without being overbearing. Our server made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, this Mediterranean gem exceeded every expectation. Value, food, and service were all 100% perfect — I can’t wait to return! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an outstanding dining experience. The first one we were satisfied so we brought our family to enjoy our dinner together at Ricco Mediterranean! They were so generous that they ended up giving us an extra baklava for the table!

Extraordinary food and exemplary service in a vibrant space. I look forward to returning here often.

The shish taouck and the lamb chops were both so tender and delicious! The sampler was excellent. Would definitely order the same again next time we go back.
