Food was quite amazing and interesting. Closest thing I can compare it to is Mediterranean food, but they are certainly different. I'll be back.

All the food was beautifully prepared when we ate at Komaaj last Thursday. It was delicious, lots of new flavors. The service was gracious and warm. The restaurant looks great inside, welcoming and comfortable and it also feels special.

If I had to pick my top 10 restaurants in SF, this would absolutely make the list. It feels like home, warm, welcoming, and full of heart. What makes it special is how it highlights Persian dishes you don’t often see elsewhere.
The mains were outstanding, the chicken and smoky fish were my favorites, the lamb stew could get better. The appetizers were a bit mixed; some were good, while others could use a little more refinement. Still, the overall experience was fantastic. Service was incredible, attentive yet relaxed, and the space itself is beautiful. The design and decor, with portraits and traditional pieces, made the atmosphere feel authentic and filled with love. Truly a gem in the city.

Our dining experience was magical. We were very fortunate to have one of the owners serving us. We learned of his childhood visiting his family home in the mountains of Iran in the summer (photos of the home adorn the walls of the restaurant), decisions on menu based on the history of food in Iran and much more. The food was unique and delicious, the atmosphere warm and lively and the service top notch.

Come to this restaurant!
Someone recommended this place to me, don’t remember who now… so it’s been on my list for a while. Finally had an opportunity and came for a birthday meal, 5 total people, and enjoyed the food and atmosphere incredibly!
We came in without a reservation - so they were a little unsure where to put us at first (hence 4 service stars), but the service and everything else after were excellent!
For 5 people we ordered the larger mazze platter and 2 additional dishes, all three kitchen “main” dishes, and all three desserts. We shared everything family style and it was the perfect amount (if not a little more). 4 of 5 of us got wine experiences, all the wine was unique and went well with the food.
The flavors were incredible! Our favorites were the platter, the beef kitchen main, and the saffron yogurt dessert. But honestly everything was great! You can’t go wrong, just depends on what you like. Go and enjoy!

Highly recommend this gem! Wonderful food and attentive/friendly service. I enjoyed the cucumber salad, smoked trout with dill rice, Armenian wine, and dates & apricots with nigella and tahini. Delicious!

Absolutely love this place! I first tried this place years ago when it was still a tiny cafe in SF and I was happy to see how much they have grown recently! The service is amazing. And I absolutely love their interior design, with very their traditional unique pieces brought from Iran.
The food is really unique, delicious, and beautifully served. They offer traditional Iranian dishes (that you normally don’t find in Iranian restaurants here) and they have slightly modified them with a modern touch. The menu changes and I loved everything that I have tried on their menu! My absolute favorite was the Sumac Beef Pan Kabob.
As always, great time at Komaaj. They sat our group of 6 relatively quick, and their focused menu makes ordering for family style sharing super easy. Delicious food as always (sour chicken stew is a must). One of the best restaurants I've been to in SF.

This place has such great vibes - from the decor, to the food presentation and plating, plus the hospitality, etc. We got the red wine tasting flight and the pours were generous! We also got the neshtaa mazze sampler and the pomegranate chicken & rice - all were delicious and a hefty amount of food for two. Would definitely come back to try more items on the menu!

Great place for good N. Iran inspired dishes. We were 3 so we got the mezze platter for 4 - great smoked fish with several good side dishes to share. The service did get kind of slow towards that that of the evening. It did get a bit noisy.
