food was good but the service horrible. As soon as we walked in the short lady with a pixi cut attacked us saying why we didn’t specify if we were dining in and insisted we said we would take away when we didn’t.The whole time she was extremely rude. Never have I ever experience such bad costumer service. Will not be returning!

Food was ok but customer service was terrible. Probably the worst I have ever experienced. The middle-aged woman in the front had an odd demeanor. She got one of the orders wrong, and seemed agitated when asked to correct it. Will be our first and last time visiting!

Ordered pickup here after another local restaurant was closed – glad I made the decision to try this spot – food was warm even when I drove home!

Just ordered 2 gandana bolani for my kids and the bolani had pieces of broken glass and a piece of wood like chip if it. I called to let the restaurant know and they said how could this be without refunding us. Total unprofessional and inconsiderate. Never eating there again. I have to toss two boxes of bolani. Waste of money and time.

Great restaurant in an unassuming strip mall. Came here for lunch before heading back to San Francisco. The staff was super nice and helpful. I had the roasted eggplant with seasoned rice, which came with a small cucumber salad, bread, and a small dish of a delicious potato and chickpea salad. Great vegetarian options and kebabs if you like meat! Check it out if you’re in the area!

Great food, flavorful, and generous portion. I ate the combination and the beef was spicya don delicious. Chicken reminds me of a Tikka style chicken. Recommend a side of yogurt to balance the spicy/pepper flakes in beef. Meal came with bread, fountain drinks a big plus, and nice staff.

Went here on a tip from a local and it didn’t disappoint. Very authentic food and good prices. Anytime I am in Livermore, I will go back. The lamb dishes are on point, and I have had numerous varieties from their menu.

This is our favorite restaurant in Livermore. I can’t help but order either the lamb shank or the egg plant every time. My boyfriend always gets the 3 meat combination plate. You must order a side dish of the carrots. They are perfect. However they do come with some entrees. All of the condiments multiply the flavor of every dish beautifully. If you are looking to try something new then start here…but you will be back.

I found the serving size quite hefty and the chapli too spicy and not crispy enough. While the cucumber salad was refreshing and the sour potato dish and pallow perfect, the whole thing was overpriced. I did like the interior, though. And they were good at keeping the place clean. I do wish there were more kitchen staff.
