Simply Mazzat
Reason #1,111,112 why SF is simply marvelous? Hayes Valley. While visiting this past weekend, my friend brought me to a newly updated Lebanese restaurant called Mazzat. When the waitress told me that 90% of the neighborhood was vegetarian so they had to cater to that, I knew I was in the right place.
We opted for the sampler platter, where we could choose from three hot appetizers and three cold appetizers. Having to make decisions was the only downside of the experience! My favorite dishes? The grilled Shrimp and Eggplant with tomato sauce, and Baba Ganoush. Our waitress was quick to point out that all the dishes were made with Olive Oil and not unhealthy, artery clogging lard. The staff was also extremely friendly, so I highly recommend this to anyone in the Bay area. A word to the wise- get there early on the weekends, as we were warned the tables quickly fill up.
