Good Persian cafe, ‏salam from Shahname!)

Could do better. The food is delicious, I think they need to hire an extra hand to oversee the tables.

Very disappointing experience.

Before coming, I called ahead specifically to ask if they could accommodate a group of 10. I was clearly told it was first come, first served, so I explained that we were driving from the South Bay all the way to Oakland (about 45 miles) and asked a simple question: If you cannot accept us, please tell me honestly and we will not come.

They explicitly told me “Yes, come, we will make a place for you.”

When we arrived, nothing was done to accommodate us. The owner/manager told me it was not her problem and blamed the employees—even scolding them in front of customers, which was very unprofessional. No apology was offered at any point. We were simply told they had no space.

If there was no space, we should never have been told to come—especially after explaining how far we were traveling. Driving nearly an hour for this kind of treatment was extremely frustrating and disappointing.

This place seriously lacks professional and competent management. I will not return, and I do not recommend it. If I could give less than one star, I would.

Lovely spot, good food, and personable staff. Invited my dad who can be picky and he loved it. Will be coming back for sure.

This restaurant is such a gem!

Our beef brisket patty sandwich and the Turkish sampler platter were both very delicious with decent portions.

We also had a rice pudding to go, and it was beyond expectation. Need to go back and try more of the sweets!

Really fresh and amazing breads and baklava selections. Friendly staff but can be sometimes overwhelmingly busy for them. It’s worth having the patience as everybody is friendly, hard working and the breads and baked goods are phenomenal.

Excellent food and lovely ambiance, really happy to have this place as a neighborhood cafe. The poached eggs with labneh and honey are my favorite

What a great find! Really delicious Turkish food. The bread was excellent, and we had the shakshuka and the chicken sandwich and both were delicious. We will definitely be back!

Such a delight. Specialize Turkish baked goods, dishes. Have an all day breakfast menus as well.

We met up with friends here. This is the first time we visited, so everything is tempting. Limited seatings. Every one works here is so helpful, patiently explains everything. I can see why this is a local fa write.
Food portions are large.
They also have preboxed food you can purchase and take with you.
