Persian Nights Restaurant offers excellent food, a lovely atmosphere, and a cozy patio perfect for date nights or sunset views. Known for its delicious Persian cuisine, the restaurant features beautifully presented dishes served in a clean, inviting setting. The staff and owners are friendly and attentive, providing helpful service and making every visit welcoming. Regular customers recommend dishes like bademjan (eggplant) dip, borg kebab, and lamb chops, which are praised for their flavor and generous portions. The interior includes crispy tahdig with soft rice topped with sumac butter, and juicy kobedeh that many find highly satisfying. Recent visitors highlight the tender shishlik lamb skewers, which practically melt in the mouth and are considered some of the best in the Bay Area. The atmosphere is warm and traditional, complemented by a quiet setting that allows for good conversations with friends. The restaurant has also become more lively and now even welcomes large dogs with water and treats. Overall, Persian Nights is a hidden gem with excellent food and a warm, inviting atmosphere.
