“Koobikland has the BEST koobideh not only in OC but the entire California! Not only the food was beyond delicious, but the ambience and the service was above and beyond. We had great Sunday family gathering at Koobikland. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“From the minute I entered the restaurant I can feel the great energy and excitement of this group. They care about the food and their customers. It is rare when you get natural hospitality and pride in the culinary craft. Congratulations to the team of Food House for putting out an excellent product. Thank you.“

“Our dinner was delicious, as usual. The service was exceptional. Our waiter, Makeo, was amazing! He was friendly and attentive and made our night more pleasant. We also enjoyed the singer and belly dancer. They were both excellent performers. My 7 year old son didn't even need his tablet. My only regret tonight is not ordering the borani because we usually get it and it's soooo good. We had the koobedeh plates and soltani plate. Can't wait to go back!“

“SOOOO GOOD! We decided to try this place on our way from LA back home to San Diego. Let me start by saying that we ate a TON of Persian food in glendale/LA and none of their Koobideh was as good as this place. Even my husband who often says “I can make this better at home,” admitted this as one of the best Koobideh in Southern California.“

“My visit to Darbari Persian Grill offered a dive into Persian cuisine with some dishes shining and others falling short. The service was warm and welcoming, setting a positive tone. Highlights included the perfectly cooked rice and the delicious Barg Kabob, both showcasing the rich flavors of Persian cooking.On the downside, the Koobideh Kabob didn’t live up to expectations, lacking in flavor and moisture, while the chicken Kabob was overcooked, affecting its taste and texture negatively.Despite these culinary ups and downs, the attentive service provided a pleasant dining atmosphere. While improvements are needed in some areas, the exceptional dishes and friendly service make Darbari Persian Grill worth a visit for those interested in exploring Persian cuisine.“

“We make the almost 40-minute drive regularly just to eat at this place! I have to admit, as Southern Californians, we are very spoiled with the best of world cuisine, and we have no shortage of good Middle Eastern food in our neighborhood. However, we've never had chicken this good! It's super tender, juicy, with a slight tartness from the fragrant lemon, and full of herbs. The rice is made with quality saffron. We also enjoy the flavorful sirloin kabob. The best part is the friendly service. Oh, and they always offer complimentary Persian tea, which provides a nice finish to our super satisfying meals. Yum!“

“The place was really nice inside and the area “outside” had this ceiling warmers that make the area cozy and nice. The service was fast, friendly, welcoming and courteous. What I like the most is that they don’t add the typical suggested tip percentage to the bill, for a place this nice and a service this good I’m actually surprised.The food was really good, tender beef, chicken and the salmon as well; Big proportions and tasty crunchy panini bread.We didn’t get to go inside or use the bathrooms but the next time we’ll do just out of curiosity lol. They serve wine, beers and many variety of alcoholic drinks, but we didn’t try any tho. The hot chocolate, I have to say tho, was not quite hot but warm enough, although for me, a hot chocolate has to definitely be HOT ?, by that is not any reason to not give this place 5 well deserved stars;, especially because of the service, really good service.Recommended ??“

“The food was delicious and the portions were large, but the website is awful! We went online to decide what we wanted, and then call our order in, but all they have is pictures of the dishes and the name of the dish. There is no description of what the individual dishes include or what type of meat (or how it's prepared) of any of the dishes ‍ there were three different chicken, kebabs dishes, but I didn't know what the differences were. The gentleman that answered the phone and took our order was very kind and explained the differences. I think the website has been changed because we ordered from here before and I don't remember that being an issue.“

“I've come here a couple times and ordered to go. Their grilled kebabs are exceptional. I ordered the family platter which comes with grilled meat kebabs and chicken kebabs. They were tender and juicy. Absolutely delicious. However the portion was small and not really meant for a family. Tried a couple of their sweets for Eid and I loved them too. Authentic middle eastern food.“

“Darya Persian Restaurant in Orange County offers a dining experience that is generally commendable, catering to those who appreciate authentic Persian cuisine. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Barg and Chicken Kabob, both of which were cooked to perfection, offering a symphony of flavors that delighted the palate. However, it's worth noting that the Koobideh Kabob fell short of expectations. Traditionally known for its tenderness and juiciness, the Koobideh served during my visit was unfortunately not up to the mark in these aspects, and its taste diverged from the traditional flavor profile one would anticipate. Despite this, the overall experience at Darya Persian Restaurant was positive, making it a worthy destination for enthusiasts of Persian cuisine in Orange County.“

“The service here is super kind!! The lady working was so nice and helpful with explaining the menu and letting us know all the ingredients used to make sure there is no allergy/halal issue. She was extremely helpful and nice! The food is like persian fast food, loaded with cheese and filled up to the rim with ingredients and toppings!! They don't cheap out on their items. Definitely recommend walking in and trying some new persian food and beverages!!!“

“Been coming here for years for lunch with co-workers. Come here once in a while with my wife for dinner. The place had a kind of Parisian bistro atmosphere in the evenings. There are many Persian delights on the menu, but I come for the Fesengen. Service is always friendly and excellent. Sometimes I call it in and pick it up on my way home to eat at home.“

“The owner he is the most friendliest person you’ll ever meet. He is great with all of his customers and food is awesome too. Good prices and good people that adds up to a great experience. I definitely recommend this place for lunch and dinner. As you can see in the picture there’s still a line to get food even during the pandemic with social distancing. Great place.“

“Excellent Persian food in warm surroundings at reasonable prices. What everybody calls professional staff with great service, is actually the PERSIAN HOSPITALITY which no Persian restaurant would last without it. Even when you are waiting for your takeout order, they offer you complimentary tea while you wait. Persian moms take their cooking seriously and if the food at a Persian restaurant doesn't meet their high standards, they wouldn't load up the whole family to go there for family dinners and catered parties.“
