I’ve tried so many Persian or Middle Eastern restaurants in San Diego and this place really stands out, like the other reviewers noted. Everything was delicious down to the rice being perfectly fluffy and moist. The chicken kabob was cooked perfectly! The restaurant is also very clean and beautiful, only topped by the fabulous service. Will definitely be coming back.

Just to qualify, I am a middle-age Persian man with a good understanding what good Persian food should taste like. If I could give this place a zero star, I would! The food was unauthentically bad. The kebab was basically cold hamburger meat on a skewer, the rice was cold, limp and over cooked. The salad came with no dressing. Once our order did arrive, it was incorrect, and the server argued with us as to the accuracy of our placed order?! To top all that off, our server was managing the whole restaurant with at least 10 tables by herself. She was visibly and understandably overwhelmed! Unattentive service would be an understatement. I do not recommend this place to anyone. There are several other great Persian restaurants in town worth the effort. Don’t waste your time and money going to this place. Unfortunate!

Excellent Persian food here. Xereshk polo very flavorful rice with just the right amount of barberry and saffron topping. Chicken kabob juicy and also very flavorful. Ghormeh Sabzi I’m used to a bit more sour, but that is home cooking for you haha. Highly recommend this place
