About the event
California-Lebanese pop-up format
Ilna at Buddy is a California-Lebanese culinary pop-up residency and dinner service in San Francisco. The event description connects the project to Maz Naba’s Lebanese roots, and the format is specifically framed as dinner service rather than a talk, tasting, or seated show. That gives the page a clear focus: Ilna is bringing its food-centered pop-up format into Buddy for the event.
The admission structure is described as a standard reservation through Resy for an à la carte dining pop-up, with no fixed pre-paid ticket price. That means the relevant planning detail is the reservation format, not a listed ticket tier or bundled package.
Maz Naba and Ilna
Maz Naba is the featured person tied to the event and is identified as both chef and winemaker for Ilna. The available description says he traces the project back to his Lebanese roots, which is the clearest stated through-line between the featured person and the California-Lebanese pop-up format.
Ilna is also identified as a San Francisco restaurant in the event information, while Buddy is the host venue for this pop-up. The event name places Ilna at Buddy, so the useful distinction is that Ilna is the visiting restaurant project and Buddy is the San Francisco bar hosting the dinner service.
Place and timing
Buddy is the featured venue and is categorized as a bar in San Francisco. Its address is 3115 22nd St, San Francisco, CA 94110, placing the event at a specific Mission District street address rather than at a separate Ilna location.
The event takes place on a Monday evening in November 2026, with a four-hour scheduled window. Exact timing and date details can be handled in the event card, but the practical planning point is that this is an evening dinner-service pop-up at Buddy.
