Best Persian take out. We got the koobideh and ghorme sabzi. Always fresh and full of flavor. Also the pricing is pretty reasonable.

Found this place via Yelp because I was drawn fk the fact that besides food, they're also a market that sells Turkish delights and baklava among their other groceries. 1st of all, their service was excellent. The young gentleman who helped us explained the food, offered us some hot tea and dates, and said that we could sample any of their stews and dips before buying. We had the Koobideh plate and Delmas. We also bought some Turkish delights (I totally forgot to get some baklava so that'll be a next trip). The koobideh came with packs of seasoning powder, which I can't remember the name, to help enhance the flavor. I kind of wish the plate had some veggies on it. I also got a small container of their eggplant dip and hummus; the hummus was excellent and I found that thr eggplant dip was best tasted when warmed, but that's maybe just my preference.

I was curious to try and ordered a few items for delivery - chicken skewer, koobideh skewer, the lamb shank, the eggplant and tomato stew, and the ghormeh sabzi stew. The stews were packed to prevent spilling and the portions were all a good size. Everything tasted amazing and were cooked just right. The stews were warming and full of balanced spices. I like that the acidity of the tomato balanced the meatiness of eggplant. The meats were all juicy and yummy, and the lamb fell off of the bone. I'd totally order from here again or visit in person to try more items.

Everything I ordered here, from the savory to the sweet, was bursting with flavor, and what really stood out to me was the quality of their cooking (and, in the case of the sweets, their baking!). Each dish was homemade and fresh. I tried a variety of their signature dishes: Ghormeh Sabzi (herb stew with beef), Chicken Thigh & Koobideh kabobs, Turkish delights, and Halva. It all popped, but the standouts were the Ghormeh Sabzi, Koobideh kabob, and Halva. The Sabzi reminded me of a traditional Indian saag, but more fragrant and a tad more bitter (from the dried limes). For such a simple dish, the execution is where they shine, and there is so much nuance to the flavor in every bite. Also not too heavy! Next, the Koobideh kabob was seasoned perfectly, again completely packed with flavor and still juicy from the grill. The pistachio Halva may have been my favorite dish of all, as a dessert, but also it packs just the right amount of sweetness with the decadence of fudge, yet still somehow light and airy. I would return for the Halva alone! I felt that everything was reasonably priced and well-portioned. The kabobs, served with a heaping portion of basmati rice and grilled veggies, were a steal at $24. The Sabzi (à la carte) was $13, and a great add-on (you can also get it with rice as a full meal). The Turkish delights are sold by the pound ($16/lb). I tried an assortment of these (they have an incredible variety!), and each one was once again packed with flavor, not too sweet, the perfect companion to an afternoon coffee or tea. They were extremely fresh and clearly homemade. I did have a few nits: the chicken kabobs were a bit under-seasoned, despite being perfectly juicy and succulent (they have really dialed in their grill process), and the beef in the Sabzi was a tad dry. But both of these issues are in the noise, with what otherwise a delicious dining experience. The team here takes great pride in their food, and it shows in the end result. Don't sleep on this neighborhood gem!

Updated Review: The first time I came here, I only ordered an assortment of baklavas to-go and unfortunately only liked one of the baklava I tried. I am so glad I came back to try their restaurant food, it completely changed my view of the place. Per their owner Amir's recommendation, I also tried 2 more styles of baklavas and loved them both this time! I was just bad at picking them last time and the other variety didn't fit my baklava preference. Turns out I like the Persian baklava and the Syrian baklava the most, they are more dry and have the perfect amount of honey for my taste. I like that there are so many food options on the menu. My husband and I ordered the koobideh plate which came with rice, and a lamb shank. The koobideh is super tender. Lamb shank was falling off the bone and good flavor. Amir recommended some sides for us. I really liked the eggplant dish, I will need to learn what it is called. My husband loved the fresh yogurt. They serve complimentary tea at the restaurant, and today it was rose cardamom flavor, super fragrant and refreshing. I like that the tea is freshly brewed, it feels so comforting and welcoming, like I am visiting at a friend's house. We really enjoyed everything and cannot wait to bring our kids here next time and try more dishes! Original Review: This review is solely on their baklavas. I came here for dessert and so cannot rate anything else they offer. The place is very clean and welcoming. The selection of baklavah really is massive. As a huge fan of baklavah, my family bought a selection of them to try. Each family member picked out their own. The baklavah here is over-soaked full of honey and super sticky in texture. The one we liked the most was the one they called Syrian style, it's the puffy triangle one that looks like pistachio is over-stuffed. The reason we liked the Syrian style the best was that it was the most crunchy and flakey since it had the least amount of honey. This might just be personal preference but I am not a fan of the baklavah texture here because they are too sweet and too soggy for me. I do see other people's reviews on their food and market, I will have to try other items next time.

I was at a party some years ago and a British friend brought a box of these. Having grown up reading about them in a children's book, I was intrigued. They didn't disappoint. So the hubs and I made a trek down here. It's a nice looking store with lots of middle eastern goods. And we got a huge box and ate them over the next week or so. I brought some to a family Xmas party and my sister who thought they were a mistake couldn't stay away from them. They were that good. They have other food stuffs but they didn't look so appealing to me, so I haven't eaten their hot food. This is our go59 spot for an ingredient we use for some recipes, un named because we don't want the competition. And the people who work there are very, very nice. And the service is good. So when at La Marcha next door or sometimes - just because, we stop by for some delectable treats.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!! After reading & hearing about this place we knew we had to check it out. Had the pleasure of talking to Amir (the owner) about the history of this place and everything this place has to offer. He gave us the full experience and a little taster of everything popular. Everything had so much flavor, was juicy, and was fully loaded. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. I liked how they had tables on the inside. There's also an option to quickly take out. It's also part market where people were buying groceries and flatbreads. The whole place and bathrooms were very clean. What stood out was the hospitality and the dedication this family business has. You can just tell how much passion and hard work goes into this place to make it what it is. A lot of locals coming in as well. If you're looking for the best Persian food in the Bay Area come here and you won't be disappointed.

Came here for lunch and it was wonderful! Service was friendly and quick. The owner (I think) was super helpful. It's a cute market with a restaurant counter. My mom and I shared the koobideh and chicken breast kebab plates as well as a bowl of the aush. The dogh was a refreshing accompaniment. Everything was delicious and prices were very fair. There was a wide variety of groceries and goods available as well. If I were local, I would definitely come here regularly to shop or grab a meal. We ended up with some of the Turkish delights and tea--so delicious!

A few coworkers had recommended this place so I stopped in for lunch the other day. Sooooo good. Like, so good. I ordered the chicken wrap with hot sauce. Let me tell you, the hot sauce is hot. And pairs beautifully with the pickles and yogurt sauce in the wrap. The wrap is huge, enough for two decent sized meals or one ridiculously large lunch that causes you to unbutton your pants and lay on the floor of your office. And the desserts here... absolutely beautiful. I ordered a pound to try a bunch of different things and they were all delicious. The guy working behind the counter was super friendly and helpful, and recommended a few things to try. So glad this gem was recommended to me, I'll be back for lunch and excited to try other things on the menu.

For many years I have driven by this place, I have even worked nearby. I wanted something different and within walking distance. So I found this via my fellow yelpers. Their menu is extensive and have some dishes I haven't seen since living in LA. Amongst those are ghormeh sabzi, koobideh. I decided to order a few items for later as well. lunch consisted of a chicken kabab wrap, which lasted for two three meals. For later I order the tahig, which came with a side of ghormeh sabzi. I was disappointed with the tahig as it was too oily and that defeated the dish. It is supposed to be crispy. The ghorbeh sabzi was not the best I've had, but came close, and at least I know where to come to get some. The staff is super helpful and patient. When I walked in I saw the array of deserts. I'm not a big fan of the Middle Eastern, and Indian deserts, but I do love some of sweets that are soaked in rose water and turkish delights. I decided to try a couple of what's called in hindi jalebi and some other small size bites of fried dough. I also ventured out of my basic turkish delights and got an array of different kinds. I was disappointed with the jalebi and other fried dough, but my turkish delight was great. I will be back for that. I also notice on their website they have Sangak. Now I'm not a bread person, but that I could eat all day! I will be back to try other items on the menu and peruse their grocery section.
