Very good Persian food. The barg and joojeh tasted like authentic Persian food from Iran. It's a little pricey, but understandably for the freshness and quality of the food.

Good food, great service! Server (owner?) was awesome, super patient and attentive, nice, knew the menu we'll, and warned us that lamb takes a little longer to cook. Kebab plate was delicious, meat was super tender, yogurt tastes fresh Persian burger was also really good and the fries are awesome! No complaints on the lamb wrap and it was cooked exactly as requested. Great food and service, wonderful experience and will come back. **parking sucks but it's not their fault

We just had lunch here, sitting outside with our Morkie Poo Bella. It reminded us to come more often. We ordered the warm eggplant appetizer, which is creamy and delicious on the lavash provided. We also got the Combo A, which is koobideh with a choice of sides (we got 1/2 saffron rice and 1/2 green salad with lemony dressing). The Persian tea with sugar cubes and the baklava are a wonderful way to wrap up this meal. Check it out!

Placed a pick up order and the order was ready right on time and the staff were super friendly! We got the shish kabob, koobideh burger (with garlic fries), and the chicken skewer plate with rice and roasted tomato... we LOVED it all. My favorite was definitely the chicken, it had a lot of flavor and it's just SO GOOD with the tomato and rice. Super delicious and filling, I'd eat this every week if I could!

Service was quick, food was flavorful ambiance mellow. Not a lot of people even though the waitress said they were packed when we arrived which was a little after 1pm on a Friday First time here, when the check came we were surprised to see a cash side for paying and then a credit side for payment two separate columns with different prices. Almost 5.00 more when paying on a card. So I would suggest bringing cash. Sine they charged us more for using card, I opted to give them 5.00 less on the tip. When we do comeback we are carrying cash. The amount of food is huge just know we walked out with half of the plates pictured.

We love this place. We order the Family A with Chicken Thighs and Cornish Hen as our additional skewers. The juices all meld into something amazing. The meat is probably the best Ive had in the bay. So juicy and flavorful!

Ate here for the first time in several years this weekend, and enjoyed the lunch. Atmosphere is laid back- def not formal. Nice covered outdoor seating in front. Loved the crispy rice- tadhig! So yummy- technically my appetizer but more my main dish. Also liked the hummus and falafel plate with the lavash bread. Good iced tea. Will be back.
