Iranian Restaurants near Oakland, CA

“I have eaten here every day for the last 5 days, twice today - something I have never done anywhere else in my life, and I'm almost 73. The food is delicious and nourishing, and the owner and the people who work here are warm and delightful.“

“Third time coming here. My wife is from Brooklyn and when she craves West Indian Flavors we come here. Staff is friendly and attentive. Vibes are always nice.

But most importantly the food is always on point. I’ve had the Curry Goat, Oxtail, Jerk Wings, Beef Patty and the rum punch. There’s no such thing as a miss. If only they were in SF I’d come more often.“

“Met up with a colleague to try this place for the first time. I was impressed with things and disappointed with others.
My reservation was for 4 ppl, had 2 last minute cancels, the restaurant kept my resy and the larger seating provided (nice).

The Food:
Chips & dip - includes a pomegranate guacamole that is so delicious. The salsa provided was too loose and slides off the chips.

Fusion Burger - my friend ordered w/o onions. Even though onions are not mentioned on the menu, grilled (not raw) onions were added to the burger.

Short Rib Tostada - Tasty, even with some parts being a little dried and tougher than I would have expected. Packed w/ flavor.

Market Veggies - I thought it would be a skewer (onions, bell peppers, and zucchini), instead it was a plate of the same veggies mentioned plus a bunch of mushrooms. I don't like mushrooms so I could only eat half of the plate which was tasty.

Pofaki Donut - Donut bread and filling were delicious, but the chocolate sauce was so loose that it dripped off the spoon like syrup, instead of a thick consistency of a chocolate drizzle.

Persian Greens w/ Saffron Chicken (To-Go) - I asked for the dressing on the side, but instead received it with the dressing underneath the salad in the to-go container (so the lettuce was soggy). Not much chicken is provided and it's a bit dry.

Suri Sour: A delicious and beautifully presented cocktail!

All in all, some of the food had a depth of flavor and was gorgeously plated, but there were plenty of small mishaps that knock a star off for me. I would recommend repeating specific requests to ensure the wait staff hears you so the kitchen does it correctly. Ultimately the staff were nice and I'd be willing to try this place again in the coming months.“

“The Cornish chicken kabab here is absolutely outstanding. The meat is incredibly tender, juicy, and perfectly marinated with authentic Persian flavors. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. It’s grilled to perfection—slightly charred on the outside while staying moist inside. Easily one of the best Persian dishes I’ve had. Highly recommended!“
