Kan Zaman - San Francisco

I’m shocked to see so many stars for this place. Yes, the staff was casual and friendly. Yes the atmosphere was fun and lively. But that’s where it ended for our party. We had reservations for 15 Sat night. No issues there. But for large parties, we were only able to order from the large party menu. There were 3 grades to choose from, and the prices were fixed, from $18 per person and up. The food was served family style. No issues here either. But the portions were small. We each got one (1 stuffed grape leaf, and rather small, to boot. In the end we paid $38 a person for what basically was a dinner of hummus and flat bread, 3 bites of lamb and rice, a meat pie, a cheese pie, overly smokey baba ganous (sp? and dessert. I would only recommend this place if you have money to burn and want a light meal in a crowded, loud place, where the floor shakes under the feet of anyone who passes your chair. I should add that we had a few more people show up so they got their own table. They had a pitcher of beer and split some appitizers. They finished with coffee. The plan was to head to another place for a bit more to eat. But after getting their bill of $71 (for 4 people they decided they couldn’t afford dinner elswhere.
