Our server was friendly and gave a warm welcome to the three of us. We tried their 7-course tasting menu, which was surprisingly $59 p.p.! I rated the food four stars because the complimentary purple cabbage soup tasted like salad dressing, and bite-sized crunchy chips(no photo, sorry) were a little too strong. Besides that, everything was terrific. We all loved the eggplant appetizer, lamb and beef dumplings and Shish Kebab. I do recommend visiting this restaurant, and I will come back soon!

Booked this restaurant for my husband's birthday - he spent many years working in Turkey and we have fond memories of the Taksim area. For nostalgia, I surprised him with dinner reservation here. Food was nice and fresh and reminiscent of the turkish food we enjoyed there. The twist on the food here at Taksim was the blend of using California ingredients. I did not care for the accoustics of the place - very loud when the place got busy. Service was ok.

Taksim has become our favorite SOMA restauran. Excellent, inventive food, fantastic service and a great setting. We particularly like the 7 course tasting dinner. A great selection and overview of the excellent food choices at Taksim. We continue to be very impressed with the excellent service at Taksim. All the servers are very knowledgeable about the food and ingredients. And their customer service is excellent.
