  This was an awesome experience. We were in town for business and we had a free night as a group. I did my research to find a nice restaurant for me and my team members. This was a home run from the level of service to the food. It was amazing. Nice job team members of Abdallah's. If we return to San Fran this will be on our list to go back.

  This place is a great find. Looks not so great from the outside, but this is your typical abundant breakfast place. We loved it. First time we had the pancake mix plate with eggs and sausages - yummy and the portions were pretty big we couldn't finish our pancakes which were huge hahaha. 2nd time we were meeting friends for breakfast so we immediately remembered our lovely experience in this place and took our friends there. I can't get over how many healthy and creative choices their menu has - they have vegan, vegetarian, healthy meat options, avocado in your omelette or mexican style eggs so all four of us ordered different type of eggs and they were all delicious choices - i don't think there's anything you can go wrong with the menu chocies. What more would you want from life? Oh yes they serve fresh orange juice and is delicious. Take your appetite there NOW! Did I mention this place is totally affordable as well?

  Good spot for tasty, filling breakfasts. I LOVED the oatmeal pancakes and liked the corned beef hash (though it's not quite as exciting as it looks). The eggs, sausage, and toast were nice but standard. Portions were very large - prepare for leftovers unless you're very hungry.
