Syma's Mexican Grill & Persian Cuisine

Incredible! I am so glad my partner & I randomly found this on google maps. We had Persian dishes and they were so flavorful! The service was wonderful and their patio was great for my service dog. I’m definitely coming back to try the Mexican food and peek inside to see the things they have for sale.

I'm Persian. My partner is Mexican. Do the math, and it's no wonder that we ended up at Syma's. The food is so comforting and tasty. I got the Ghorme Sabzi and she got the Mole Enchiladas. We ended up adding the maast moosir (yogurt with shallots), and what a great idea! It was a delicious addition. After the meal, we wanted to add more comfort and relaxation by ordering a couple glasses of tea with flan, the perfect pairing of cultures. And the tea came out in beer mugs! What a perfect way to sip on tea. The service is warm and welcoming. The space is casual and unassuming.

Absolutely delicious! 2nd time here, both times we tried a Persian dish and a Mexican dish and everything was so full of flavor. Cannot recommends this place enough. Just saw the write-up in Edible East Bay and love the feature! Will be back!

It was a very long time ago that I came here (2001? yikes I'm so old lol) but the food was so amazing that I remember it after all these years. Can't wait to come back and try it again.

Been twice. I want to like this place because it has an exotic feel to it but the food is a bit underwhelming and the prices are a bit too high for what it is. Will come back occasionally whenever I want something 'different'.

We were a group of 8 people so we got to taste many different dishes. All the dishes we ordered were delicious. The reason why I didn't give a 5-star rating is due to the super sweet cucumber drink they have. We have diluted it a few times and still very sweet. But the food was downright delicious. Would definitely go back.

I was looking for a place to eat for lunch being that it was already late in the day. So I ordered some tacos from this place and it was veryyyy worth it. From the appearance it seemed to be a small family establishment which made it even that much more welcoming. Will definitely go back

Syma can cook no doubt about it ...just imagine East met west ... Persian food Rock on .. Mexican food spot on .. did not try desserts but appetizer and main entre are all spot on.. thanks Check Please for featuring this place

The place is great and the food is amazing!We had Zereshk polo and chicken enchilada for dinner. The food was delicious! You are not going to find a better place around.It was cold tonight, so we sat by the fireplace in the restaurant. Really nice atmosphere. %100 recommend! Can't wait to go back to try more dishes.

By far the best carne asada burrito I’ve had in the Bay Area. The meat is juicy, packed with flavor and tastes fresh every time. The salsa is uniquely flavored and fresh.

Amazing Persian food! Super solid experience. Very good shirin polo, fesenjoon and ghorme sabzi. Can't recommend it enough. Also very nice outside patio!

This place is really good. It does not appear like a nice place to eat from the outside, but you get really good food for your money and it's pretty inside. I enjoyed my carnitas tacos with rice and beans.

Everything here is incredibly delicious. My favorite is the Khoresh dish. The pomegranate based stew is incredible.

I love this place. The food is so delicious and the service is magnificent. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful when ordering. I’ve only had the persian food from here and I would 100% recommend. The Ghormet Sabzi is amazing. The khoibideh is wonderfully cooked, fresh, and well seasoned. The mast o khiar is mouth watering. And albaloo polo is so fresh. The prices are great and the food is delicious. Totally recommend.

Owner, Syma, is behind the counter making your dishes in this cute and functional cafe style diner/small Iranian grocery store. Outdoor and indoor dining to complement/enjoy a large selection of Mexican and Iranian entrees, desserts and drinks. For anyone who loves a humble bohemian cafe grocery and wants to feel transported to another country for a meal, I recommend this place. It has heart.
