"Zaytoon aims to replicate the experience of kabobs cooked in traditional fashion over open flames. The restaurant not only offers this in the form of chicken, filet mignon, Cornish hen, and lamb kabobs, but does it inside an eclectic bazaar that sells hard-to-find items such as dried herbs, olive oils, and mortadella. The menu features gheimeh (split pea casserole with beef and rice), baba ganoush, and saffron rosewater ice cream." - Krista Diamond

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Zaytoon, and I must say it was an incredible experience! The Persian restaurant is absolutely authentic, with flavors that transport you straight to Iran. From the succulent kebabs to the perfectly seasoned rice, every bite was a delight. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a cozy meal or a celebration with friends. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that you feel right at home. It's disheartening to see some negative reviews from haters who seem to have no valid reasons for their ratings. I can only assume they haven't truly appreciated the wonderful dining experience this restaurant offers. If you're looking for delicious Persian food and a welcoming atmosphere, Zaytoon is the place!

WOW. This rivals the Persian food and kosher markets in LA. What a great family-owned, local business. I got the koobideh one day and the chicken kabob the other day. Each are around $18. You get great rice, and roasted vegetables. Sumac is on the tables. I also had tea and their baklava, which was made just perfectly. AMAZING service, very kind servers and great vibe inside. Lots of seating too.

This was my first time here and it is just lovely! We had the best attention and service from Rahmeh and Kallo. I'll def be back soon to eat and check out the market! We loved the Babaganoosh, Hummus,, Chicken solanti, Tea

Best staff ever! The atmosphere was amazing it felt like home. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Kashk bademjoon was amazing! Try Dough and don’t forget to shop they have almost every Persian product!

We visit Vegas often, and Zaytoon has officially been added to our must-visit list! From the moment we walked in, the friendly staff and well-stocked grocery store made a great first impression. The food was absolutely delicious — everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. The flavors were spot-on, and you could really tell the quality and care put into every dish. We cannot wait to come back!

The food quality was average to low, we ordered food from this restaurant on our way to Vegas based on Google reviews, unfortunately the reviews don't seem real or the customers are not familiar with real kebab. The amount of onion used in the kebab was very high which made the taste and digestion difficult, no salt, they didn't even put salt, pepper and sumac next to the order. One thing that came to my mind was that I feel like yellow food coloring was used instead of saffron because saffron rice doesn't turn orange and it had no flavor. I give three stars only for the fresh bread service, the rest of the items need improvement.

It is my favorite place in Las Vegas to eat, when I’m visiting or spending time nearby I always stop in here to eat. All the food is incredible. I actually tried different plates different things each time I go everybody so super nice. One of things I love is that they always hire someone who’s an immigrant to help them along, I have met people from different countries are working. There has servers and all the amazing sayings up on the wall. It is my happy place.

It was the first time coming to this place. We tried the lamb shish kabob and falafel plate with rice and cucumber salad. Everything was delicious. We were greeted upon entering and immediately seated. The staff were friendly and well-informed in regard to the cuisine. The decor might be spartan, but the wow factor is in the food served. I would definitely recommend to friends and relatives.

Food: Amazing. I was craving good koobideh kabob and zereshk polo and this place did not disappoint. It tasted like home cooking to me and I was so so pleased with it. Fresh, hot, juicy and long strips of meat in the entree plate was exactly what I needed. The zereshk was plentiful and gave a sweet flavor to the rice. The usual grilled tomato was also juicy. Service: Fast and friendly. They are very welcoming and are great about refilling drinks when needed. The food came out reasonably quickly and I have zero complaints about that. Ambiance: Feels like a normal, family friendly place to bring everyone or meet with a friend over a good meal. They decorated with quotes that attempt to give a pleasant and positive atmosphere. I'd honestly eat there again even if it were just a takeout window. The food was that good. Hope to be back next time I visit!

I went to Zaytoon on Novemeber 24's Thanksgiving. I was very disappointed with their food quality. Koobideh and Joojeh had the same underlying taste that felt medicine like. I don't know what they use in their marination but the taste was beyond tolerance. I asked them to change my Koobideh and asked for Barg. The Barg came with a mushy rice. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience despite paying good amount. For the bread, you have to keep asking and wait a long time for it to arrive. I believe much more could be done for the ambiance despite the levele of traffic they have. I won't go back again.

The Amazing Persian food in Las Vegas! Coming from San Francisco we didn't expect such high quality Persian Kabab outside California however we have been so impressed that went for dinner two nights in a row Highly recommend this place if you like to have a casual family outing with amazing food and service. The people working there are super nice and attentive The owner is so humble and kind! Definitely will be back next time in Vegas!

I love this place. I always bring my non-Iranian friends here to try Persian food for the first time. The owners are super welcoming and friendly and they make it a comfortable environment for everyone. Plus they have great options and a cute supermarket on the other side i've been coming here for the past 16 years and it always feels like home.

Excellent restaurant with great and fast service and juicy kababs. Everything we ordered was delicious and tasted fresh. Would love to go back.

As the eldest occupant of Global West Plaza and the oldest Persian Restaurant In Las Vegas Zaytoon is more easily overlooked than many local eateries, but using the same recipes for decades the space on Durango is a breath of fresh air in a time when authenticity is often lacking. Family owned and the combination of eatery plus market, the later featuring imported goods as well as groceries, plates come from a kitchen steeped in tradition such that everything from Lavash to several styles of Baklava are made on-site daily. Muslim owned and Halal-certified, a name that translates as Olive seemingly appropriate for peaceful confines, guests can expect Kabobs served at a fair price though the real highlights come from Stews such as bold Ghormeh Sabizi and Fesenjaan that is complex but not overly sweet like many.

If you're looking for a dining experience that pairs warm hospitality with rich Middle Eastern flavors, Zaytoon is worth a visit. I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Persian restaurant and was impressed by the attentive customer service. The staff consistently checked in, making sure my water glass was always full. The food was good, showcasing traditional Persian dishes that were well-prepared and flavorful. While the flavor profile isn't one I usually gravitate toward, I appreciated the quality and care put into the food. The spices, herbs, and unique combinations provided an enjoyable exploration of tastes. Zaytoon is the kind of place that makes you happy to support. Even if Persian cuisine isn't your usual choice, it's worth dining here for the great service and to broaden your palate with a taste of Middle Eastern tradition. I'm glad I had the experience and would recommend it to those looking for a good meal.

As promised in my prior review, we did return on our next vacation to Las Vegas This time we each ordered lamb soulivaki that included a choice of salad or rice, again we went 1/2 and 1/2. The food was very good as was the pricing. Though we were the last customers of the night, we never felt rushed.

The food is amazing at Zaytoon! My daughter and I were at Claw World. After playing at Claw World, we decided to grab some dinner at Zaytoon Restaurant! Zaytoon Restaurant is located at Twain/Durango inside a large shopping plaza. The restaurant also has a market space inside too that has a deli and fresh juice! Zaytoon offers a wide range of kabobs, seafood, specialty dishes like Gheimeh, sandwiches, and so much more! The service here is outstanding! When we first walked in, the team members greeted us and informed us that we could sit at any open table. When we found a table, immediately, a team member brought over waters and a menu. Since it was our first time here, it took us several minutes to review the menu. My daughter enjoyed looking at all of the pictures next to each entree! She ended up selecting the Lamb Chops with Rice! One of the team members had recommended the Chicken Soltani, which had a chicken kabob and beef kabob. While waiting for the entrees, complimentary bread was provided with butter. It was like a giant cracker with seasonings on top! It was delicious! Everything was cooked fresh. We didn't mind the wait time as it was busy inside the restaurant! We ended up waiting about 30 minutes for the entrees, but it was totally worth it! It was my daughter's first time having a lamp chops. She thought it was some of the best food that she had ever had! It was tender and juicy! I really enjoyed the chicken kabob and beef kabob. The chicken was scrumptious! It was cooked perfectly. I ended up mixing the rice and chicken together. The beef kabob was so delicious! You could taste the marinated beef with all of the different ingredients like salt and pepper. It was charred perfectly, and tender! I would order the chicken Soltani again! Each entrée had a side of rice, grilled tomato, and onion! The food is amazing here!! The service, though, was exceptional!!! The team here is so friendly, checking up on every table and talking to all of the customers! It was such a great experience!

I have been here a few times, however it's been about 6 years. The family ordered a large take out order and we enjoyed it at home. Everything was delicious and fresh. I had the koobidah entree with half salad and half rice. The grilled tomato is always my favorite. The rice is so good and the creamy dill ranch was great with the salad! Will visit more often!

Yelp
Cute little market & restaurant serving authentic food. The place has maybe 8 tables and takes up what seems to be less than half the space. The other side of the restaurant is a market. Service was good, acknowledged immediately upon entering and ordered within 10 mins. The food was delicious. The meats juicy and tender and fluffy flavorful rice. The bread came out first served with butter which was tasty and good to wrap up the meat. I would definitely recommend and looking forward to visiting next time in town.

Zaytoon is located at Global Plaza West on Durango and Spring Mountain. You'll find them behind Brewske's Pub & Grill, next to Chicago Style Pizza. There's plenty of parking available. Inside is a market and restaurant. They offer various types of baklava from Iranian, Mediterranean, and Turkish. The restaurant has a casual and relaxed atmosphere with few seating for eight tables and awesome music. Menu has a nice selection of Persian appetizers, soup, entree, seafood, special dishes, sandwiches, a la carte, and desserts. House Salad ($6.99) has crisp lettuce with fresh cucumbers and tomatoes served with creamy dill dressing. Kashke Bademjaan ($7.99) is delicious! It's savory fried eggplant dip with a lovely drizzle of kashke and fried mint, served with thin crispy bread. Turkish Coffee ($4) has a rich flavor, very strong, and comes in a cute coffee cup. Ice Cream ($6.99) is aromatic and delightful! It's Iranian Pistachio Ice Cream flavored with saffron and rosewater, not too sweet, and so yummy! Service from Rahmeh and Kallo is wonderful and superb! Everyone in the staff is very welcoming, attentive, personable, and friendly. Food is made fresh, quick, and delivered promptly.

Best Persian Food all of las vegas , best service i have ever had at a persian restaurant as well , very good scenery and good quality of food

This place is dangerously close to my home and attached to an adorable and authentic middle eastern grocery store. At first I didn't realize the restaurant was connected to the grocery, but that just makes sense. I interacted with three different people while taking my to go order and they were all sincere and seemed grateful for my business. Love they asked if I wanted hot sauce and offered the sumac because that was a flavor I had not previously experienced. All the workers were hugging people in the restaurant and that is *always* a good sign in my book. But now. The real reason you're here. I opted for the chicken soltani kabobs that came with fire roasted onion, tomato and I did half salad half rice, as well as a side of shirazi salad after I saw pictures. The salads were honestly my favorite things! Super fresh and not heavy. Wonderful flavor. The dill dressing has a tang that I'm obsessed with. Also got the bread (way bigger than I expected!) kind of cracker where the bubbles were and a more chewy, thinner type lavash and the baklava! I had one bite of the baklava before I ate my food and knew I had to put it on the other side of the room so I didn't eat all my dessert first. Next time I'll be sure to get pickles and a sauce to go with, if I'm getting kabobs, but hoping to try something different on the next go round. I think I dropped the ball not eating while in the restaurant so I could've clarified. Kind of on the pricey side, but that's life nowadays. Definitely worth checking out!

We had Persian out of town guests last evening who chose Zaytoon for our DoorDash order. To say we were thrilled would be an understatement. The food was so delicious. The portions were enormous, and we now have our favorite new takeout. And the price was outstanding for what we received. Looking forward to our next order and visiting the restaurant. Highly recommend the chicken and steak kebabs.

So, I was jonesing for a great Kobideh Place after seeing one of those crazy "cooking shorts" on Facebook. I researched a few places and I honestly chose this one cause it had the best prices and also was the closest to where I lived. The ambiance is very simple and chill when you first enter.....nothing crazy fancy and it is connected to a Mediterranean Grocery/Deli. Kinda cool cause while waiting for my food to come I got this really awesome hot sauce I used on my food (pictured) :) So Sam, the owner, was super nice and welcoming and recommended I get the "KGB." (beef kobideh on flatbread) Apparently one of their signature dishes. Now I'm from L.A. and there are a TON of Persian/Iranian restos out there that I used to frequent. When my food arrived and I got the first bite in......OMG. It was just amazing. The beef was cooked perfect, the homemade bread it was served on was done just right and making several little rolls out of it was just sublime. The "house" chili-oil sauce they have is bonkers good and is just the right pairing for the meat. The atmosphere is so nice and family-oriented - everyone was really friendly and turns out a lot of regulars show up cause of the food. There really seems to be a dedicated following - and I can attest to why that is so. The food is AMAZING. The prices are FAIR and the owners are just so nice and welcoming :). I highly recommend coming here for your next culinary adventure!!!

A hidden gem in Las Vegas! The lamb chops were cooked to perfection--tender, flavorful, and beautifully seasoned. The saffron rice was aromatic and paired wonderfully with the meal. To top it off, the hot tea was soothing, and the pistachio ice cream was the perfect sweet finish. Excellent service and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Definitely felt like Home being here trying out the eggplant dish along with the eggplant dip very good brought some lash bread and other Armenian delicacies. Super friendly attentive workers gave me a family vibe, which I enjoy. Great selection of spices and snacks and desserts. I'm definitely coming back here to purchase, the barbecue skewers

Zaytoon has been around for a while. Apparently, it's the oldest Persian restaurant in Las Vegas. A couple of friends highly recommended this restaurant, so I had to check it out. The causal, half-restaurant, half-grocery store is in the SW part of town (S. Durango & Spring Mountain). The dining area is rather small, and the grocery store occupies most of the space. It was around noon on a weekday when I walked in with a friend, and the restaurant seemed to have a steady flow of customers. We were immediately greeted by a friendly employee and promptly placed our order. Our food was ready in less than 20 minutes. I had the following: Chicken kabob entree - it was delicious! The chicken was tender and seasoned well. The basmati rice was nice and fluffy, but the onions and tomatoes were overcooked. The accompanying salad was fresh and I enjoyed the dressing. Despite the overly charred tomato and onions, my meal was worth the visit.

We will be coming back!! The dinner we had was delightful and excellent! We ordered the combo plate with a chicken kabob and the beef koobideh kabob. This combination platter was a plate of divine deliciousness!! The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The beef koobideh was also loaded with tons of flavor. These two kabobs along with the basmati rice, grilled tomatoes and grilled onions provided such a winning eating experience. Wished it would never end. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Genuinely caring towards their diners. We loved the comfortable and casual atmosphere of the dining area. We wanted to go again the next night, but it's closed on Sundays. Can't wait till our next visit to Las Vegas because we'll be back to try more things at Zaytoon. Or we'll get the same platter again. It was so, so good. Highly recommend to all!!

Located in a shopping center with plenty of parking. Restaurant is part of a Persian/Mediterranean supermarket. Market itself has a great selection of specialty items. They also sell rose flavored ice cream which is a favorite of mine and not always easy to find. They have it here! On the restaurant side, they also have display cases selling their various dips and baklavas. There's a lot to see and buy and tempt your taste buds here. A local friend introduced us to this place for dinner and it did not disappoint. It's a family run business and they are super friendly to everyone - regulars and new customers. There's a family and local atmosphere here. You know they treat their customers right here. The food itself is delicious and good sized portions. My wife and I shared a plate of Soltani. Meats are flavorful and well prepared. I'll definitely need to come back as there was more that I wanted to try.

LOOK no further This is the best Persian restaurant in Las Vegas! I have been patronizing this place for many years. A definite hole in the wall! My family usually orders the Koobideh Kabob, Lamb Chop Kabob, Chicken Kabob and, the ever so tasty, Baba Ghanoosh! Sprinkle a little Sumac on your rice and you have yourself a 5-star meal

When we walked in it it was pretty busy mom and pop hole one the wall kinda restaurant and we were able to find a table for us 4 to sit in. When we sat down a server came by and took our order. We ordered the soltani which was the combination of the beef bath which is the ground beef and the beef koobideh which is the filet. Also got the masto kahir which is the cucumber and yogurt dip, and the hummus. You also get fresh bread that you can always ask for more which was so warm and delicious! The soltani is a family favorite for us. The meat has so much flavor and so tender. The rice and the roasted veggies were perfect together with the meat. The hummus tasted great as well. For a first visit here it was a great experience, will definitely come back!

I had a rough week and nothing sounded appealing so I went on Uber eats to browse and found Zaytoon, I am so glad that I did, a lot of Persian food at restaurants here is disappointing but this place nailed it. The food was excellent and it totally turned my day around. Everything was amazing, especially the fresh bread and the koobeedeh

Breese B.

Wow! What a little gem hidden in one of those fascinating stores piled to the ceiling with inventory! Great family owned spot, super friendly service, perfect hole in the wall atmosphere, and the freshest most delicious kabobs we've had in a really long time. The koobideh kabab plate was amazing, and the chicken in my wife's kabob plate was fresh and moist and delicious! The pistachio baklava was terrific! We can't wait to get back here next time we're in Vegas.

Food: Excellent, Tasty, Lots of options Service: Fast, Friendly, Welcoming Cleanliness: AAA+++ Price: $$-$$$ Staff: Very friendly, knowledgeable, great customer service, professional We moved to Las Vegas recently, and I love Persian food. I had it several times when I used to live in Northern Virginia. Zaytoon was our very first Persian restaurant and store we went to because I was craving Koobideh. Zaytoon have exceeded my expectations. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Keep up the great work Zaytoon!

My favorite Persian/Iranian restaurant in Las Vegas. The food is very well seasoned, the meat is tender, the portions are huge, and the service is excellent. The owners greeted everyone as I was indulging in my combo plate. They even serve Iranian bread with butter (or garlic dip on request). The servers are caring and check in on all tables frequently to make sure that you're satisfied (shoutout to Rahmeh). The restaurant is also attached to a grocery store which makes it convenient to stock up on your Mediterranean groceries.

One of our favorite places to eat and we've been coming here for years. The service is great and the owner Sam takes great pride in his business. The food is very flavorful and always consistent. We love their beef and chicken that are always juicy. The lavash bread comes to the table right out of the oven. We always look forward to our visits.

Saam and his family are wonderful. My favorite home cooked meal. I've shown all of my coworkers this spot and they love it as well. The food and pastries are always fresh and delicious. The price is fair for the portions and every worker treats you like family. The service is phenomenal.

The worst place ever I ordered food They don't know anything about customer service The price they put online is not the same price in the shop when you order online is 30$ when you go to pick up your order you have to pay 53$ and when I asked the stupid lady why is not the same she doesn't know what say because they are ripping people never go shopping there

Anabelle D.

Yelp
Great Persian restaurant with a juice bar and market. The juices are fresh and always made to order with no added fillers or additives. The market offers many international items that cannot be found at other markets and they have a great selection of produce. The restaurant has just a few tables inside and out and they make really great dips, salads, soups, and of course all their wonderful meat options. We love their flavorful beef and chicken dishes. The koobideh is the best in town.

Gregory G.

Yelp
Amazing place. Exactly what I was looking for. Great people. Great food. I had the lamb kabob. I also had a taste of the chicken. Both excellent. Very friendly and chill vibe throughout. The market is incredible. A wide selection of spices. I'm a visitor in this town, but if I do come through this way again this is my first stop.

Zaytoon has been one of my go tos lately and for good reason! The quality of the food and the great service makes me a continuous returning customer. For starters, I like the shirazi salad and I order hummus too. The salad is fresh and flavorful a great way to start your meal. The hummus and bread is delicious, the bread is always fresh out of the oven and crispy which pairs perfectly with the hummus. For my entree, I order the beef koobideh. The entree comes with 2 beef skewers, onions and rice. The koobideh is enough portion to get you full without the appetizers. However, the food is so amazing I need all 3! The beef is juicy, tender, buttery just overall YUM! The service is always quick and great. You can tell how much the owners care about this place. I like that there is never a long wait for a table and it's people coming in and out. Also, there is ample parking! I will recommend Zaytoon to anyone who wants Mediterranean food and I will continue to be a customer.

OMG - this is our MUST GO TO restaurant anytime we visit Vegas!! And if we lived in Vegas we would probably come weekly - in which we noticed quite a few regulars stopped by when we were there!! The food is DELICOUS!! And the service so friendly and homey!! We got the following: * House salad - MY FAVORITE - so fresh and the dressing is AMAZING. Reminds me of a salad I get from a kabul restaurant. LOVE it! So simple but has so much flavor, freshness and flavor! * hummus and babaganoush -WOW perfect on the their lavash bread wich we ended ordering MORE of... and youngest taught us to put a little butter on the bread then the toppings - SO GOOD... BUT the key is to eat it also with the persian pickles. Those pickles are perfect accompaniment to eat with the lavash topped with the babaganoush and hummus - it's like flavor bomb in the mouth!! OH actually we also ate it with the shirazi salad on top as well. It's mix and match flavor town!! * Lamb shank with the dill fava rice - OMG - the kids were luke warm about it when I ordered it but were gobbling it up like no tomorrow when they tasted it! ABSOLUTELY tender and flavorful! * Eggplant stew and rice - this one was very good but I have to say I couldn't find much eggplant - saw a lot of veggies but was missing any of the eggplant - but the stew sauce with the rice or lavash bread - perfection!! * Chicken kabob and rice - our family FAVORITE... eat with rice or lavash bread - topped with the tomato, persian pickles 0r by itself is great. the kabob is SO TENDER and jUICY and SO FLAVORFUL! LOVED it... * Turkish coffee - PERFECTION with so much flavor and the right amount of caffeine for the kids who had exercised early that morning! LOL Am definitely coming back here and am recommending this place to friends that visit. You can tell they are a local favorite as they greeted and seated the regulars and asked how families are doing. LOVE the family atmosphere!

Good for groups of 4-6 this Persian restaurant offers a wide assortment of the classics you'd expect from the region. Both the chicken and lamb kabobs were well seasoned & tasty and their side salad was a delicious medley of vegetables in the style of a Jerusalem salad. The service was good and the place has a positive atmosphere. Additionally, for desert, the Turkish delight and baklava were real treats. Overall, if you're looking for authentic Persian fare this is a good choice.

When one of your best friends, who is Persian, invites you to an authentic Persian dinner, you don't pass it up. We rolled into Zaytoon after a long day of work and I allowed my friend to drive. He schooled us on every dish and told great stories of his own family's rich Persian history. Fantastic and super friendly service aside, Zaytoon is an absolute hidden gem on the west side. Quaint inside decor as part of a market, we bellied up in the back corner and ate dishes ranging from falafel to Cornish game hen. We ordered Falafel, Lavash, Kashk Bademjan, Baba Ghanoush, Dolma, Koofteh, Ghormeh Sabizi, Lamb Shank, Fesenjaan, and a combo plate featuring Koobideh Kabob, Chicken Kabob, Bone-in Cornish Game Hen Kabob and Barg Kabob. They even brought out an off-menu treat, a Koobideh "Sushi Roll," definitely not authentic but ridiculous-good. The koobideh kabob was excellent, the lamb shank was falling off the bone, and the explosive flavor of the fesenjaan was next-level. Not a single mediocre taste in any bite all night, and that includes dessert. Figured we'd come this far, we might as well go full-monty and order the Pistachio Halva, Napoleon, Zolbia Bamieh, Iranian Pistachio Ice Cream with Saffron and Rose Water, Baklava, and Falloudeh with Cherry Syrup and Lime, all washed down with a Persian tea. The Halva was addictive, and I couldn't stop nibbling at it long after my digestive system registered "full." Worth it, every bite. A cold noodle dessert, Falloudeh with Cherry Syrup was an interesting combo yet also hard to keep nibbling at. Zaytoon is an absolutely lovely neighborhood restaurant, buried in a casual shopping center on the west side of town. Hidden away from the bright lights of the strip, Zaytoon shines just as bright with every dish. I highly recommend stopping by this family-owned local restaurant. You won't be disappointed.

My go to place! I love spicy food and i asked them for a recommendation and they recommended me 1. Animal Style 2. Koobideh Sushi Roll 3.

Amazing restaurant and Mediterranean grocery store. I have been going there for delicious Iranian cuisine at least once a week. Amazing people and outstanding service.

We've been here before but in the picture we ordered a lot more than normal! We always get shirazi salad, masto musir, koobideh sushi roll, and fried egg plant dip. We always end up finishing that and leaving full and happy! This time we basically ordered the entire appetizer menu. Hummus, shirazi, babaganoush, masto musir, feta, and koobideh sushi roll. It was delicious like always and we had leftover. I ended up enjoying the leftovers at home as a midnight snack and it was still amazing. Highly recommend coming here and the service is always kind and welcoming almost like family! The place also is part of a market, which we took a look around in. Definitely a hole in the wall type of restaurant with great service and delicious food! :)

Went here after marking it to try a few days ago. Superb. Small little place attached to the market, but it was full when we arrived, stayed full and they were clearly doing a robust trade by phone as well. Friendly lady at the counter seated us right away. We order the fried eggplant dip (like baba ganoush but a different name with the fried instead of grilled eggplant), which was excellent. Shirazi salad also good, although it could have been a little larger serving. Soltani platter and the KBG platter both excellent...meats were tender and tasty, rice was soft, thin bread was delicious after soaking up the juices of the meats. The entrees were all around great. Service was attentive and very friendly (although a little slow at times when they were getting hit with orders at the counter, all the tables were full, and people kept calling). Desserts were the lowest point...napoleon and the honey pastry were both fine...not great but not terrible...just fine. We would not likely need to order either one again. The iced tea was delicious according to my dinner companion, who raved it about several times after we left. Overall, the meal was $85 before tip with an iced tea, 2 apps, 2 entrees (including the soltani which was one of, if not the, most expensive on the menu at $28) and 2 desserts plus a side of rice. So, not cheap but not out of line with how much food we got and the quality. I have to say, when you read some of the few negative reviews of this place, we really see what a cesspool review sites have become. I cannot possibly fathom what nonsense these imbeciles who wrote about poor customer service or poor manners or whatever BS they claim. This place was nothing but super nice and helpful people and it was packed...rude is just not something I can imagine based on our experience, and based on what is clearly a few fake reviews from the same people trying to grind the same ax, it tells me those experiences are more on the reviewer than the business. Like everything else with online reviews, one must really read the reviews and assess the (often) bullshit nature of the stupid garbage people are allowed to spew. I am just getting so tired of the increasing amount of idiocy one has to sift through with online reviews, be it yelp or google or whatever, in order to get useful, valuable, quality information about experiences at a business. Anyway, top notch for us and we would return. Food great, people great, and several more things on the menu we want to try, which is never a bad way to leave.

We were immediately greeted with a big smile! Our order was taken, and we were served the most delicious soup and kabobs. The rich flavors and cozy atmosphere made this date perfect. We will continue to eat here often.

We ordered delivery. Solid Persian food - and we have a Persian member of the extended family. Good portions. Tried the barg, chicken kabob, and salmon. Do wish they offered tahdig, we'd certainly try it. Rice could have used some (any) saffron. Net-net, we would order again but ask for some "extras."

This has always been my favorite place to buy groceries for all my middle eastern favors and to eat Persian food. I always order the beef kabob or ghorma Gazi. They always make sure you feel welcome, Saam the owner always walks by and does his best to make us feel at home. Highly recommend this place
