Had a really nice experience at Cafe Naderi. The space feels cozy and inviting, and the food was flavorful and comforting.
Mahsa was our server and did a great job, very kind, attentive, and helpful with recommendations.
If you’re in the mood for authentic Persian food(kale Pache)in a relaxed setting, this place is worth checking out.

I had an incredible time at this Persian restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming. beautiful décor, warm lighting, and a staff (MAHSA) that genuinely cares about making you feel at home.

The food was the real star. Every dish was bursting with flavor and prepared with such attention to detail. The saffron rice was fragrant and perfectly fluffy, the kabobs were tender and juicy, and the stews had that rich, slow-cooked depth you can only get from authentic Persian cooking. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in every plate they send out.

Service was attentive without being intrusive, and their staff MAHSA was happy to explain dishes and offer recommendations. It made the whole experience feel personal and memorable.

If you’re looking for a place that combines authentic Persian flavors with a warm California vibe, this restaurant is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back.

We had a fantastic dinner here; almost everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The beef koobideh kabob was perfectly seasoned, the lamb shank was tender and flavorful, and the appetizers like kashk o bademjan were excellent. The staff were awesome and made the whole experience even better. A special thank you to Sara, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We'll definitely be back!

I want to start by saying that I really like this place. The food and overall quality are always great, and I’ve even left a 5-star review before because of how much I enjoy coming here. Most of the staff are excellent and professional. People like Maryam, Hossein, Leila

and the newer team members always provide respectful and welcoming customer service.

However, my recent experience with Mahsa completely ruined the visit. Her customer service was very rude and unprofessional. She did not show basic respect or attention to us as customers. She was constantly using her phone and texting while interacting with us, and she did not even make an effort to communicate properly. It made us feel ignored and disrespected.

This is not the level of service I expect from a place that otherwise has such high standards. It was frustrating enough that I even recorded the situation because of how unacceptable it was. I normally do not leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing and needs attention.

I hope management takes this seriously and addresses the issue, because this restaurant has a great reputation and loyal customers, and one person’s behavior should not damage the overall experience.
