I'm a big fan of Persian food, and I've eaten in many a restaurants. Some good, some not so good,…read moreand in case of Sadaf, some amazing ones. This food is so good, it is the standard to be compared with. The only other time I had Persian food this good, was twice. My mom's cooking and another Persian restaurant in San Jose. If you are here you're in good, nay great hands. I know I get too poetic sometimes. But bear with me. Order any of the appetizers, and you will be superbly satisfied. The Naderi Kabob, done medium rare and Albaloo Polo (cherry rice), we're literally delectable. I didn't get a chance to take a picture. Sorry! My bad. The restaurant is at the site of N old Persian restaurant, but completely redone, and redecorated. Staff are professionally trained and service is just excellent. Can't wait to visit this place again. Come for a date, come with family. Update! Update...my second visit in just as many months, and the service and quality remain excellent. This time I tried the combination filet mignon and ground beef kabobs. In a word, Delish! Wait! Is that word? Desert was fresh

Came here for family dinner tonight and what a great choice!…read more We tried a little everything tonight. We started with the Dip trio (Hummus, Tzatziki, and Baba Ghanoush) and some hot pita bread. I enjoyed all of them, but really liked the Baba Ghanoush. We ordered the Beef Shish kebab, Chicken Soltani, Beef Kebab Koobideh and Grilled Salmon. Let me say that the chicken skewer was so juicy, tender, and flavorful. Probably the best I've had. Both beef koobideh and shish kebab were so flavorful and cooked perfectly. All the dishes were served with either rice or salad, or both for a little extra. Very good portions and fairly priced! The staff were so friendly and helpful. There were ample seating inside and a few tables outside. The restaurant is kept clean and tidy. Decor was was simple and elegant. I can't wait to come back to have more delicious food. So happy that there's a good Persian restaurant nearby. Come check this place out for some outstanding food! Happy Nom Nom!

I'd honestly come more often if I lived closer but regardless this stop is worth the trek. My friend and I came in for lunch today and were feeling like a "girls lunch" - which is when you order a bunch of appetizers to split and then catch up for two hours :) And Parkway is the perfect spot to dine in and relax. The atmosphere is very welcoming here. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and I love that they have cozy booths against the wall. The staff and owner are extremely friendly here and hospitable. The owner is regularly here named Iman and he's a lovely person. Very attentive towards the customers to make sure that they are happy and satisfied with their meal. I also appreciate that he helps educate you on the menu and any questions you may have. He helped suggested some of his more popular plates and we ordered those. I have to add that I think the pricing is very reasonable for what you get here and for the larger portion sizes. They don't skimp here and the plates are generous. My friend and I were impressed that we had a table full of appetizers and two soft drinks for under $50. And we even had leftovers to take home, a great value for the quality and quantity. Now to the most important part....the food. All of our appetizers today were delicious and solid. We devoured each plate and couldn't stop raving about each dish. The dip trio was the perfect way to sample their dips and their fresh, warm pita bread makes this an addicting starter. The home run dishes though were the falafel plate and fried chicken wings. Shoutout to my yelp friend Imo who told me to come for the wings. These chicken wings are now up there in my ranking of some of the best chicken wings I've had in the 805. They are a no-sauce wing, perfectly crispy and fried, juicy, to die for delicious. I'd come back again just for this app. Also the falafel appetizer plate is another must order dish. Their falafel is super crispy but perfectly cooked on the inside. Very flavorful and the dipping sauces that come on the plate are outstanding. My friend and I noted we'd order everything again it was so good and will bring back more friends and family to try their larger kabob plates and rice dishes. We simply had the loveliest meal here today. It was affordable, tasty, and the hospitality here is unmatched. If you haven't been here you definitely need to give this spot a try. Or if you're like me and wanting to come back - highly recommend grabbing a few appetizers with a buddy so you can enjoy the best of this cuisine.

We picked Lava Kitchen since it was close to our hotel. There was a bit of a wait even at 2p, but we decided to stick with it due to the great Yelp reviews. Our meal did not disappoint. We had a refreshing quinoa salad (with tomatoes and cucumbers), crispy and filling samosas, and some amazing kebabs. The meat was flavorful and really tender, even the chicken breast kebab. Definitely worth the wait. Things were busy even for the late lunch, but our server was super nice and also expressed appreciation for us waiting for our table.

Holy cannoli, the gluten free pita bread is phenomenal! It's not too dry like most gf breads. And most importantly, the heart of the Greek café is the staff. Two waitresses helped me.

OMG this is the best kebab I had in a good while!…read more Absolutely delicious- the seasoning is so good , the meat is tender and juicy. The bread is phenomenal, the hummus yammm Very nice clean and cozy place , beautiful windows and nice staff. However the only think was a bit leaking is service . While they were nice for the entire sitting they checked on us in the begging and in the end . We wanted more bread but no one would even come close to our side. However while we were still eating they started removing plates and brought us the check, pretty rude , given that we're still not done. The girl wanted us to pay immediately which was strange. The in 3 min the guy came and ask again if were ready . They made us feel rushed . I wouldn't mind another glass of wine and desert but we weren't really given a chance :( We had a reservation in advance and weren't just sitting, so the treatment was strange . But still the food was so good that I wouldn't mind another absolutely be back for more ! Maybe order to go next time lol

Since it was my first time here I asked the person working at the front ( you have to order up front where they then give you a number) some questions regarding the menu. They were supper attentive and friendly. After I ordered I sat outside to people watch which was honestly really nice. Reminded me of Paris. My food came promptly thus after. The Tumeric braised chicken is amaaazzzinggg the chicken is so juicy and falls off the bone. The rice has some sort of crunchiness to it that compliments the entire flavor profile of the dish. The eggplant dip reminded me of the one my grandmother makes, dipped with the chicken made my meal feel really nostalgic. I've been back four times since and never regret it. One of those meals that just makes you feel really good after!

The best Iranian food I've had (bar none) and probably the most delicious meal I've had this year…read morethus far! Raffi's Place was my most anticipated restaurant on my SoCal trip. The soltani kabob was to die for; the flavors in the beef barg and koobideh were so rich and cooked to perfection. The mastery of these dishes was absolutely on display. The mast moosir was a great creamy and savory side dish to complement the entrees. I HAD to get the tahdig (crispy rice) too! I also had a bit of the lamb shank which was really flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the baghali polo. The yogurt soda was a bit of an acquired taste for me, but I'm happy to have tried it for the full experience. We finished off our delicious meal with a floral and sweet Persian ice cream wafer sandwich. The portions were enormous, so we left feeling full with leftovers to look forward to! We came on a lively weekday evening. They don't do reservations, but we were warmly greeted and quickly seated with lavash and butter on our table immediately. The restaurant has a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, with hybrid indoor/outdoor courtyard dining. Our waiter was attentive and made us feel very welcomed. I'd give this restaurant more than 5 stars if I could!
