Another amazing foodie experience in Santa Fe. Easily one of the best Mediterranean food restaurants that we've ever been to. The trout was a surprisingly delicious stand-out and is a must-try when you go. The kabob platter was a great pick for dinner as it comes with several kabobs as well as a choice of several side dishes. The chicken kabobs & beef tenderloin kabobs were amazingly juicy and delicious. The sweet stuffed dates were a hit with everyone and really seemed more like a dessert on the side of the meal. The spicy chickpea salad was one of my favorite things on the table, but was too spicy for some. There is a lot of choices of places to eat in Santa Fe and this one is worth keeping as an option.

We had several very tasty tapas style, healthy, balanced dishes. Service was good, our server was familiar with the menu and gave good recommendations. Parking on canyon rd is horrendous. That pay parking lot across the street is a rip off. The parking issue will likely keep me from returning as often as I would like to.

Best customer service experience we’ve ever had at a restaurant! Tashi was professional, informative, and made amazing suggestions. Our group of 4 shared a Caravan with Ta’Chin, Kashk-E-Bademjan, spicy carrot falafel, beet falafel, and skewers of Koubideh, Lamb, and Barg. Everything we ate was AMAZING. I only wish we lived in Santa Fe so we could eat there all the time. My advice to anyone going to this restaurant is to try EVERYTHING (ask about the caravan!) and ask for the spicy serrano sauce!

Our whole family loves the food here and now it is much closer to our house with plenty of parking. We are very happy.

This place is delicious! Here's the stuffed trout with fresh dill herbed rice. Absolutely recommend :)

Decent, but missed the mark... Not too many options in my opinion. Small plates and bigger plates, but where are the sandwiches??? Good flavors but strange portions. Veg plate only contained 2 falafel, but had a whole cucumber and carrot (cut). Seating is a bit awkward. Friendly and fast service though!

This is the first time I am writing a review. I feel like it’s unfair if I don’t. The food was AMAZING!!! The best Persian restaurant I have ever been. Koobideh was the best koobideh I have ever had in a Persian restaurant. Kashke bademjan (Eggplant dip) was the most delicious. Staff were so nice and professional. If I go back to Santa Fe, I will go there every day and try everything they have. Keep up with the great work!

We ordered the Caravan and it was exquisite. The service was excellent.

Just really super disappointing. Everything is overpriced, they're out of multiple menu items. We came for the music, with a 6 top, and literally can't hear or see anything. Lamb underdone, pita bread completely undercooked. In the end I'll spend $40 on 3 ipa's and some rice.

I dont know what's more stunning, the new building, the food, or the staff. I've never had Persian food before and I'm just blown away. The food was rich and full of life. Highly recommend the spicy chickpea and carrot salad, the eggplant walnut dip, the lamb and ground beef kabob, and to finish with the homemade cheesecake. The staff here went over and above to give us 5 star service with phenomenal tasting food. Will be back everytime I visit sante fe!!! Congrats neema you have a truly beautiful restaurant. Thank you ? ?
Milad has recently relocated from Canyon Road to Alameda's Solano Center and it is quite a lucky break for locals who don't particularly care to go to the touristy part of town. My wife and I had dinner there last night and it was pure bliss. The starter of crispy saffron rice stuffed with marinated chicken was amazing. Also loved the cucumber salad and, wow, the humus, was so creamy and the perfect amount of garlic. And we really loved the trout stuffed with crushed walnuts. Served butterflied and de-boned, it was really wonderful. Wine prices are great too. Very cozy, classy and lovely space in this old strip mall.

We had an amazing meal and experience at Milad. Neema nailed the traditional aspects of Persian food that I grew up with, and put an amazing modern spin on the classics. We loved the beet falafel, Mast- Khiar was spot on (raisins reminded me of my childhood), and the duck feesenjoon knocked my socks off. My wife and parents also loved everything.

I am sorry this restaurant moved to its new location, in Solano Center. Parking is good but cramped setting detracts, no ambiance, and poor venting made the place smell like greasy grilled meats. My vegetarian middle eastern plate was excellent but a bit pricey for what it was. My friend's duck dish was great. In total, I thought the tab was high for the setting and the poor venting result. Enjoyed the food, but a bit disappointing. Probably won't return, which is a shame.

The new location is gorgeous, the food superb (duck with pomegranate & walnut) and the staff welcoming and attentive. What a blessing for the Solana neighborhood.

Excellent food! Pretty reasonably priced. Delightful waitstaff. The Falafel is fantastic, the kebabs are amazing, be sure to have some saffron ice cream before you leave.
