Really excellent, authentic persian food. Ghormeh Sabzi freshly prepared along with kabobs. Comes with Naan bread, sumac, onion. Good portion size too. Market is on the smaller size but has a variety of items. Highly

These people are rude and racist. There was 1 person in front of us, and they served him. Then they just looked at us and completely ignored me and my husband, so we left after waiting about 10 minutes. I would rather go to Al Hamra Kabob Grill, where they're nice and have super good food. We just wanted to try this place because it's close, but we're never coming back here again.

I noticed a severe decline in good customer service after COVID. However you'd think that you'd do your best to bring in and keep as many customers possible. That wasn't the case with this place. We are standing at the area where you order food. I see a man pass us by and I begin to ask a question but he smiles and keeps walking. Ok maybe he can't help us. Then there's an older lady running back and forth. I try to ask should we sit out wait to be seated, she doesn't answer. I see she's busy so I wait, and wait and wait. All along standing there like a couple of smucks. I again try to ask something, she doesn't answer. So I told my husband let's just leave. We get to the car, turn on the car and he she comes shocked that we left. Lady please, a simple " I'll be right with you give me a few minutes" would have been sufficient. If you have cameras check the footage. There is no exaggeration in this story. By the way, there was only 3 people sitting in the restaurant area. So it wasn't busy nor crowded. Do better!!!!!

Some of the best Mediterranean food I've had. Everything is high quality and delicious. You get what you pay for. I'll continue to come back
I used to love coming to this market to get some essentials and food. The service is never great but today I couldn't believe the terrible service. I grabbed a few items and waited by the register where two women were working (one on the phone). Not one of them acknowledged me even after the one woman finished her phone order. I just stood there waiting. Another customer came in to pick up their food order, and the woman started checking them out before me. Luckily the customer realized what was going on and told her to check me out. Not once did the woman look at me. It was so wild. I think I will take my business to the Persian market across the street.

Food here is great! Beef koobideh was very tasty and juicy! Chicken kabab was also very tender and juicy. Big portions, and everyone there is super friendly. Definitely recommend!

My favorite Iranian market and restaurant in the southbay. The kabobs comes with plenty of lavash, rice, grilled tomato and slice of raw onions. The kabobs are made right off the grill so it takes time for them to make. The joojeh kabob is packed with so much flavor with the delicious marinade and you can't go wrong with any of the food here . There's so many good stews here from fesenjan, Gheymeh Bademjan, and ghormeh sabzi, and a myriad of other stews and rice dishes, not to mention a long list of Kebabs. They recently remodeled their dining area and the staff has always been very kind. Decent amount of parking. If you want to try Persian food, this is the place to go in the South Bay.

The good:I saw the sign outside for their bakery so I decided to stop by here with my husband. It's a small market with a food stand at the end and a restaurant attached. I got some Greek frozen pastry here and a delicious bar of German wafer chocolate (called Hanuta) for under $2. I'd like to come back and try their hot foods or order for catering. They sell other things like tea, jam, dried fruit, honey, canned foods, pickled foods, tea pots, and phyllo dough. The bad:The layout is strange because it's a restaurant, takeout food stand, small market and bakery all at once. I didn't see them sell any whole cakes (only some slices). Prices and signs or descriptors for the baked products were missing. We got a box of $15 hazelnut rice crisp chocolates that were probably the worst chocolates I've ever tasted. It tasted like old oil and was very low quality. They came in many different wrappings so we asked the cashier what the difference in flavors were and she said they're all the same. My husband and I each ate one chocolate and can't stomach eating a second. The expiration date said 1/10/23 and we assumed that meant October 1 but perhaps it meant January. All of the boxes had this date on it. The interesting:The bathroom said out of order but it isn't out of order. I was able to use the restroom after asking the cashier.
