Beit Rima

Truly amazing, unique food. The muhammara, delicata squash, and batata harra are must tries!

Food is good light and clean. Portions are perfect. The owners are very accomodating.

Their description "Middle Eastern comfort food" fits this place pretty accurately. I look forward to my next visit.

Be sure to order their Samir bread as a side.

This is one of three. I have been in all and the food tast the same in all. Look good, smell wonderfully and tast amazing. You need to try it to understand what I am.saying and tast amazing. Samir is a great chef.

So proud of Chef Samir Mogannam, who has realized his vision of expanding gourmet Arabic comfort food, by making a debut in Daly City.

We are long time fans of Beit Rima, at its original church street location, and in fact had accidentally bumped into this amazing culinary experience by a stroke of weird luck. And as fate would have it, we accidentally happened to stop by on its soft opening today at Westlake center in Daly City.

As usual chef Samir and his uncle were gracious welcoming hosts. The menu is classic and we ordered our favorite dishes.

The mezze platter is a good way to sample a bunch of dips: fresh labneh with a drizzle of zatar, a sublime babaganoush (eggplant), smooth silky hummus and a decadent muhhamara, served with pita bread, sumac onions, cucumber and 2 falafels.

Next up was ful (fava bean stew) that can compete wine the best ful in Israel or anywhere in the mIddle east. It has a hint of lemon and is a great accompaniment to the piece de la resistance...

Samir's hand kneaded bread with zatar and a hint of olive oil. This is made fresh and takes at least 5 minutes to bake. You can eat it by itself or scoop up that delicious ful or mezze platter.

There's a reason why Beit Rima is the best new restaurant in San Francisco. Chef Samir has poured his soul into making his dream, from dishwasher to sous chef to celebrity chef.

If you ever think how the Daly City location live up to the original Beit Rima, rest assured the food only gets better. This is a larger location, with tons of parking, and the highest quality ingredients. DC is lucky to have Beit Rima put it on the map of the best food in the Bay Area! Go and experience it before the lines get too long.
