“A Swedish Gem in Petaluma! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ​If you are looking for a dining experience that is both authentically Swedish and refreshingly modern, Stockhome in Petaluma is an absolute must-visit. It perfectly captures that vibrant Stockholm street-food vibe while keeping things incredibly healthy and high-quality. ​ Favorites: • ​The Salmon Gyro: This is a total game-changer. The salmon is perfectly prepared—fresh, light, and seasoned beautifully. Wrapping those clean Nordic flavors into a gyro format makes for a meal that feels like a treat without being heavy. • ​Elderberry Soda with a Splash of Lemonade: This was the highlight of the drink menu! The subtle, floral sweetness of the house-made elderberry soda paired with the bright citrus of a splash of lemonade is the ultimate refreshing combination. It’s a "pro-tip" order that I’ll be repeating every time. • ​The Vibe: The space is bright, minimalist, and welcoming—true to its Scandinavian roots. It’s clear they prioritize fresh ingredients and authentic flavors, from their amazing meatballs to their lighter, veggie-forward options. ​Stockhome has easily become one of my favorite spots for a delicious, nutrient-dense lunch that feels special. Tack så mycket! 🇸🇪🍋“

“For me, this is the best Arab/levantine food in the bay. As a Lebanese vegan, i felt emotional because of how good this food was and how many delicious vegan options there were. I haven’t had Kuftah in a long time, and the fact i got to taste a vegan version that tasted identical to the kuftah i grew up eating in Lebanon was so incredible. All the food was incredible. Everyone there was also so sweet and welcoming, service was fast, and the place is beautiful. Cant wait to go back for more.“

“We were very excited to try this place out and really enjoyed trying the seasonal brisket and meatball tagine. My husband loved the creative cold brew coffee options and the horchata was delicious (warning though the serving size for the horchata is very small).

I really loved the persimmon bread dessert. Reminded me of a richer version of my family persimmon bread.

I appreciated that the cost includes the tip as that is how it should be (supporting the staff in the price). We will return to try their changing tasty menu.“

“It's a casual place in a strip mall. The food is delicious and authentic. Folks working there are sweet. Don't go expecting elegant or fancy. It's basic more cafeteria style vibes but the food and service are great. Prices are really good too for the quality of food you get. Feels more like home style cooking.

We ordered a chicken koobideh and lamb skewer, rice and mast o khiar. It was all really good. Ordered the lamb skewer medium rare and it was perfect.

The Persian tea was really nice. A bit different with a bit more of an earl grey flavor, which I love.

Definitely going back to try the game hen and other things.

Glad to have a nice Persian place in marin.“
