I recently took my mom to Stone Stew Restaurant, and we had such a wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we felt welcome and comfortable throughout our meal.
The food was absolutely delicious — beautifully presented and full of flavor. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put a lot of care into every dish. My mom especially enjoyed the ambiance, and we both left with full stomachs and big smiles.
If you’re looking for a great place to enjoy a relaxing meal with loved ones, I highly recommend Stone To. We’ll definitely be back!
The gheimeh was good, but the dizi was terrible and didn't taste anything like dizi. They also forgot to give us the doogh that we ordered.

Best Iranian / Persian food in the bay area! The location is also great for grab and go dinner during the week.

Drove 30 minutes to try this restaurant. It says on Google Maps they close at 8pm. I arrived at 7:22 and was told I cannot dine-in and have to take it to-go only so I just left. Bad service.

The staff is very friendly, and the food quality is okay. However, the owner seems too greedy, as they raise their prices every two to three months. I believe chelokababi Resturant is a better option to go.

Very delicious stews and skewers at higher prices. My only wish is that they had more ambiance, like some background music. It felt awkwardly quiet.

We went to this place because many years ago we went to their original location and food was great. We ordered baghali polo and lamb shank and it tasted like lamb beryani and our koobideh looked flat and has no salt and didn’t taste like Persian kabab. I don’t think the cook had tasted the food or maybe they are just being trained to make Persian food.
The host brought Barbary bread w butter instead of sabzi or cheese. The whole sitting area was filled from smoke of the kitchen.
They were also washing dishes with so much noise. Overall a very bad atmosphere and bad food and I don’t like to write bad reviews but they need to provide training for their staff. We paid over $100 and ate very little, it was hard to eat that food.

So here’s the thing, the location or restaurant is nothing to rave about BUT it’s a hidden gem and quite frankly I don’t understand the negative reviews.
The service was good and I have no complaints about it because the lady was hospitable.
The food is excellent in my opinion. I ordered the gorgan chicken and koobideh kebab and rice and it was wonderful. The seasoning and flavor on both kebabs was perfect and paired with the mast-khair it just was harmony.
My only criticism is the kashk bademjan but I am willing to overlook that because the entree was awesome.
Will definitely return!

I will start with food, very delicious. Stuff not welcomed as I would have expected.
Place in side to suffocated strong smoke and no ventilation, was coming from the kitchen, it was hard for last few minutes to sit inside before we left, eyes were burning and nose was feeling irritation due to the smoke.

This is kabob made from a stove top, not a bbq, this is disgusting. Never coming back here again. Persians, trust me, this is the last Persian restaurant you should go to. Go to Negeen, Chelokabobi, Yas, or Caspian.
My response back to the owner in the comments: Maybe on Sunday's they cut corners, especially for Uber deliveries, but it was 100% Stove Top cooked. You can see it in the picture, it is very obvious and tasted very obvious. His excuse is nonsense.

Amazing juicy and tender kebobs with fluffy soft rice and refreshing doogh 🔥🔥🔥

My daughter suggested this place for dinner and we made it right under the wire before 7 pm where they stop servicing inside and only do takeout! The area is a bit seedy with a couch and a car door in the sidewalk! So it makes more sense to do take out.
My daughter has the Beef Kabob and I tried the chicken. They service complementary bread w butter too. The food tasted good but I felt bad for the owner who was managing everything by herself.
