Excellent food, and atmosphere. The owners are kind and attentive, very professional and welcoming. Will definitely return here for date nights. Btw, they have the most cozy patio.

Wow! The food here is so good. We sat on the patio. Nice place to enjoy the sunset. The presentation of the food is amazing. The flavors are delicious. Probably the best Persian food I've ever eaten. Will go back whenever I can.

We love the food here and come almost every week. Everything is cooked so well, we often get the lamb shank or zereshk polo and the meat just falls apart from the bone. The warm bread is delicious and goes well with all dishes. The lemonades are super unique and delicious, I really like the pistachio one!Picture is zereshk polo with yogurt and eggplant appetizers :)

Way, WAY more expensive than it should be. Every dish is about $10 over priced.We got the trio sampler ($18) and it’s just two small cups of yogurt and three tiny dolmah.I had the Zoreshk Polo ($26). It tasted fine, but the dish is mostly just plain rice with a single chicken leg. Chicken was cooked well and was tasty.My partner had a similar dish, also $26. We both had a single glass of wine ($16 per glass). Final bill was $130 after 18% tip. Not worth it for this quality and portions of food.

Don't miss Persian Nights if you were around the Bay Area!!Had an AMAZING experience! Great food, customer service, and vibe!I ordered the cucumber yogurt for appetizer which was served with warm bread and was so good. I tried their Chicken Tahchin which you cannot find at many Persian restaurants and it was so tasty and delicious. They were so kind to offer me their hot tea at the end.

This was my first time eating here, and I will be back! The food is so tasty and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. Give it a try for flavors you probably haven’t tasted before!

We stumbled onto this restaurant by accident thinking we were going to the previous restaurant before it changed hands three years ago. We were treated to a fine dining experience in a casual atmosphere for the price of a good restaurant. Complex flavor combinations that totally worked, and a server who knew the menu and made great suggestions when we asked for her opinion. This is the kind of food we expect when we treat ourselves to a Michelin star restaurant for a special occasion. If it were up to us, we would definitely give this restaurant a star!

Michelin Star Level Cornish Hen!!!! It was out of this world, the combination of flavors and the presentation. Even the rice was unique with the crispy top. 100% Recommend.
