Located on 6192 Mission St. in Daly City, the quiet restaurant Shish Ke Baba serves up amazing food with friendly service.

As I first walked into the empty restaurant, I was not quite sure what my first impression would be. One thing I liked about the restaurant was the wall art of what looked to be a street in a more historic part of Turkey, which added greatly to the culture of the food I was ordering from.

Then, after ordering, my opinions of the restaurant quickly turned more positive when a kind server offered me a free drink while waiting for my food, which
he referred to as a “Palestinian lemonade.”

It was green, a little minty, and overall, the perfect mix of sour and sweet, being very refreshing during the heat wave.

I took a drink to satisfy my empty stomach while waiting for my
food. Once I finally took my first bite of the food, the shawarma was very tasty, with the chicken having a rich, juicy flavor, with the rice being sticky, as it
perfectly blended with the rest of the shawarma to make a warm
and fresh bite.

The shawarma itself was also cut into nice bites that were easy to eat. On the side, it also came with fries that were not too crunchy, soft and warm on the inside. The spices in the shawarma were also exquisite, mixing to be a perfect blend on my taste buds.

As I finished my meal on the beach at sunset, I thoroughly enjoyed it and appreciated how savory it was. Overall, I would rate it a 4/5.
