Alborz has phenomenal Ghormeh Sabzi. No other place beats it imo!

I was reluctant at first because of low star reviews but thank God I came and tried the food! So far the best Persian restaurant in SF! I ordered Ghorme Sabzi and it came with a huge lamb shack and also the Koobideh and Joojeh was so large portion and amazing quality!

I've been living in USA more than 14 years, but even in Iran never had such a delicious Koobide and Barg. Also, the amount of food for such a price is amazing. In addition, their staff are very generous. The only problem is the location which is hard to find parking lot.

Authentic Persian cuisine in the SF Bay Area. We ordered koobideh and it’s the best we’ve had (we’ve had our fair share). Quality food and friendly staff.

This place is so under-rated!
staff were great
food was delicious
highly suggest “tah dig with gheyme” also “koobideh”
i also tried “koo koo sabzi” and “ghormeh” and “joojeh kabab” but they could be better

Not sure why they have less than 4 stars. It’s a solid spot for Persian cuisine and reasonably prices for San Francisco. Ordered the beef koobideh and it came out in less than 10 minutes. Granted I was the only customer. They even bring out bread and butter but also onions and sabzi, most places cheap out on that. All in all a good experience and I’ll come back when I’m in town.

This restaurant fraudulently changed the tip on my receipt. They must have thought I wouldn't notice, but I took a picture of my receipt. When I called, they played dumb and refused to refund me.
The food quality is not in par with the prices. The Chicken kabob was blend. Mirza Ghasemi was tasty though. Based on my other comments, I think the place is doing a terrible job with Kabobs.

This place used to be better but I think it’s seen better days. The food is decent but not great and is pretty pricey for what it is. It’s just a little shabby these days. I think the Berkeley location is nicer.

Don’t go to this restaurant! DON’T GO! It’s not clean at all! The food is everywhere on the chairs, floor, tables!! Utensils are not clean! We were the only customers yesterday! The waitress served us and left to walk her dog and didn’t come back! I went to the kitchen to call the chef! He was alone too! Took me 10min to explain to him that we need to pay and no one is here to give us the bill! The waitress didn’t came back and we were observing her with her dog outside! The worst experience ever we had in any restaurant! They should simply close!!!

Worst dinning experience ever. The food was pre-cooked and then heated up. when going to the washroom, which lacked warm water, I could not stay more than 30 seconds due to bad urine stingy smell. I do not advise anyone to go there.

Staff was pleasant but it was colder inside than outside. Salmon kebab was old and undercooked. Koobideh was on point. Overall, one and done for me.
