Persia

Some of you might think, why would I try Persia while in Escondido? You're wrong. This restaurant captures everything that is this place... The rich wild and organic flavors. The this is so good why isn't it like that everywhere. Loved it so much been here twice. The ethnic Persian house music they play fits so neatly with the inviting homey atmosphere they have. If you don't know what I'm talking about it's because you haven't been there yet.

i ate dinner here last week while visiting puerto escondido. the service and atmosphere were fine. while the food was good, the meal i ate here made my stomach upset that night and the entire next day. i know it was from the food at this place, because this restaurant’s food was the only thing i ate that day. i have a feeling it was from under cooked chicken. just beware.

Ate there last night. Loved the food. Chicken so tender it fell off the bones. Great flavor. Drinks were on point. love that skewers are cooked on an open fire where guests can see great touch. The gentleman cooking the skewers seemed to cook them with care. The ambiance was lovely and chill tribal/house/trance music was playing. We received our food quite quickly but when the restaurant started filling up it was a little slow to get our bill. Didn't bother us though. Its a nice place to hang out and the staff was friendly and greatful. Would return and recommend.

Great cozy spot in La Punta, Zicatela! We were missing some of the persian cuisine while travelling through Mexico. The staff was really nice, and we could communicate in every language here, spanish, farsi, german, english. Lovely interior with a traditional persian setup. The food was great too. We had the Ghormeh Sabzi, really recommend that if you wish to try out some of the most “persian” food you can get. If we come bach to Puerto Escondido, we would love to revisit.

The restaurant was - compared to a lot of other places at La Punta - not very crowded. Persia is the living example that that doesn’t say anything. We had the wrap kebab and wrap falafel and were blown away. Tasted really good and I was instantly curious to try other things on the menu. The service was good, staff was super friendly. We were initially looking at other restaurants, but were in the end very happy with ending up in this cozy place. Music is nice as well!

Let me begin by saying the staff is exceptionally friendly. The star rating is based on the food. We tried a few things on their menu and it didn't feel authentic. Each dish got a tiny piece of meat with it or one small skewer. I absolutely love Persian food I find it to be by far one of the tastiest and rich cuisines. However, the meat was a bit dry and lacking in some of that extra flavour, and the portions are very small for what it was. If there was at least an option to add more meat perhaps this would give the customer the opportunity to know the portions may be small and can opt for more meat.

Stellar authentic middle eastern food with incredible WOW flavors. I had a vegetarian pastry appetizer and the falafel salad which was filling but didn't leave me stuffed. The sauces were also incredible. Kind staff as well. The place itself is truly stunning and quite the vibe!

Vibey beautiful place with good music and decor worthy of some Instagram shots, but most importantly some of the best perisan food I have ever had and I’m Persian myself. 10 out of 10. Favorite non Mexican restaurant in all of Puerto Escondido by far. They make everything from scratch here. Also very clean ! And attentive staff as well.
