Great place to get some awesome tender beef steak on a kabob! Excellent Persian restaurant! Great naan bread with butter and feta! Excellent hardy and tasty Addassee lentil soup! Meaty and delicious Tahdig crispy rice with Gheymeh stew! Wonderfully tender, moist, and tasty Kabob Barg filet mignon beef on skewer marinated in sun-dried lime! Complex, sublime, creamy Bastani saffron and pistachio ice cream! Great and friendly team service! Available for lunch or dinner.

First time there. I had trout which was pan fried, rice, and the cucumber and tomato salad. Their nan bread is made on the premises. Everything was delicious and the service was great as well. Would come back!

I was really disappointed by the attitude of the older waiters here. They come across as rude and judgmental, almost as if they instantly size you up based on how you look or what “class” they assume you belong to. There’s something off — a kind of fake politeness that disappears when you’re not the kind of customer they expect.

What bothered me most was the clear difference in how they treat people. When white customers walk in, they’re all smiles and charm. But with others, their tone changes — colder, dismissive, as if your presence is inconvenient. It’s sad to see people of their age acting so small-minded. They might be in their 60s or 70s, but their behavior feels childish.

Discrimination, subtle or not, leaves a bitter taste no food can fix.

Delicious food and generous portions! The kabobs were tender and flavorful, and the rice was perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. The only small downside was that service was a bit slow during the dinner rush, but overall, a great experience. I’ll definitely be back!

Their chicken bowl is a must have!!

My partner and I are obsessed with their kabob - both chicken and beef. But my partner prefers the chicken. The lentil soup was also good.

Their hot chai is probably the best I have ever had in a long time. Highly, highly recommend!! Don’t skip this.

I would defo come back to try other dishes especially their rose ice cream (which was recommended by their staff)

Our waiter was extremely warm and nice! Like genuinely nice!

This place has gone downhill. Every time I eat here the service gets worse, the food
Is inconsistent and it’s no longer sanitary.

Just ordered to go and the Kebob was burned, the eggplant delight didn’t taste the same and the person who handled the bread licked their finger first to take a sheet Of paper to wrap the bread with it.

I had my employee pick up the food for me and when I called to inform them it’s burned, the woman on the phone put me on hold and ignored me. Someone else picked up minutes later to use the phone not to even address me. I told him my issue and he also seemed annoyed and just said bring it back and hanged up.

By far, the older woman that works there
And her daughter are some of the worst people I witnessed in customer service. The older woman even demands tips before paying.

I’ve been coming here for 20 years and I know what the food tastes like. If the two older gentleman’s are not there I wouldn’t touch this place. One in the front and one in the kitchen.

A highly recommended restaurant with great Persian cuisine. Koobide kabab and shish Leek lamb are great. Rice is good. Kashk bademjoon is good. Overall great and delicious experience. I am Persian, trust 🙂

We were visiting Sacremento and happened to be in the neighborhood. We went for late lunch on 9/30/2024. We order two Koobedah combos and one lamb Shank. Everything was Halal and excellent with great service. Don’t forget to order black tea.

Famous Kabob is the Raffi's of Sacramento. The barg, koobideh, and jujee kabob were all excellent - perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The portion sizes were excellent. I enjoyed the complimentary sabzi, feta, and bread. The kashkebademjoon was okay. Will try the masomousir next time. The ice cream to share was excellent. Extremely friendly staff - you can tell there are a lot of returning customers who regularly dine here and I may become one of them. Definitely will come again and would highly recommend for good traditional Persian food.
