Iranian Restaurants near Newton, MA

“Certainly the best Persian food in Boston. Must try the Koobideh“

“We've found our new take out favorite spot! We've been ordering from here for two days straight, and for good reason. This place is a hidden gem in West Roxbury. Every dish is fresh and flavorful, and their menu offers a wonderful variety of options. The portions are very generous too. Plus the owner/chef is friendly and clearly the real deal. You have got to try it.“

“An amazing gem in Belmont. I can’t recall ever having a more tender chicken than I had here. The portions for the main dishes are enormous so they’re worth the price. The staff were kind and attentive. I’m looking forward to trying more dishes and I highly recommend Cafe Vanak!

Vegetarian options: The menu offers an impossible version of some dishes and there are grilled veggie options as well.

Parking: There’s a small lot behind the cafe, and street parking seems reasonable.“

“Wow. Wow. What a discovery! I ordered delivery and expected something “okay”. I am left speechless. This was arguably the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Quality, quantity, taste - phenomenal...I had the Mediterranean mix which was a great sample of all different tastes. The rice (usually just fill in deliveries) was excellent with that slight bit of saffron coating it. Thank you!“

“This is literally the best Persian restaurant in the "Greater Boston" area! Definitely an unforgettable experience! The food's delicious as ever! The service's + Atmosphere's 100% terrific!“
