This is truly an outstanding place, the ambiance was amazing. Sat outside around 7pm. Was cooler. Flowers and plants all around us. The food was over the top. The service was a well polished and well trained service. Loved the place, flavor in food and service. Little pricey, I thought. But no one is complaining. read more

We came to BHA! BHA! Persian Bistro on a Saturday evening during season with a reservation and were quickly seated inside in the stylish but closely spaced dining room. We started with the Trio - pomegranate walnut olive tapenade, cucumber yogurt and chopped shirazi salad (tomato & cucumbers), served with small pieces of pita. This was a tasty start. I loved the tapenade, but the yogurt and salad were quite tasty too. I had the steak as my main - Filet Mignon Kabo "Barg" marinated beef tenderloin strips with chargrilled vegetables. It was delish, steak was very flavorful and some nice accompaniment. The lady had the shrimp and liked it quite a bit - Ginger Apricot Shrimp sautéed with garlic, carrots, plums & apricots. finished in a spicy mango tamarind sauce. Service was very good, with timely check-ins. What a nice evening. read more

There is no better place in Naples for a reunion than the patio at Bha! Bha! Persian Bistro. We sat outside for our meal, which was absolutely lovely, and enjoyed a fabulous bottle of red wine while catching up with friends from both the East and West coasts of Florida. Since it was a Saturday night in December, we definitely needed a reservation. Be aware that they do require a $45 per person deposit/insurance for weekend bookings during the busy season, but for a special night out with a group, it is well worth it! The food here is sophisticated, fragrant, and perfect for sharing. We split a few dishes and every single one was a hit: Mediterranean Salad: So fresh! The English cucumbers and farm tomatoes were perfectly crisp, and the pomegranate vinaigrette gave it a unique, tangy twist that elevated the feta and olives. Persian Style Seafood Paella: This was a standout. It's a generous mix of shrimp, fish, mussels, chicken, and andouille sausage. The tomato saffron sauce was incredible, and the basmati rice soaked up all those fresh herbs and flavors perfectly. Spicy Tabriz Apricot Chicken: This was a fan favorite at the table. The grilled chicken was so tender, and the star was the dried wild currant and apricot chutney sauce. It had that perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The atmosphere is elegant yet warm, making it the perfect backdrop for a long, laughing dinner with friends. If you want a break from the standard Florida seafood spots and want something truly flavorful and exotic, this is the place to go. We enjoyed every minute of our time together! Please check it out. It's been here for years and I can see why! read more

Great spot on 5th. Persian isn't our typical go to for dinner but we really enjoyed it. We ordered a variety of appetizers. We loved the fried eggplant and the hummus. Dinner was very good. Everyone enjoyed their dishes but the rice was the highlight. It is perfectly cooked and flavorful. Something so simple but really good. Service was perfectly timed and really enjoyable. I believe his name was Anthony and he made us laugh the whole night. It's beautiful inside and they have lots of outdoor seating. Really nice spot. read more

Of all my Naples research, this was the restaurant I was most excited for and it did not disappoint! I was here in a group of 5 during the off season and reservations were easily accessible on Open Table. Additionally Bha Bha was offering promotions - $55 3 course prix fixe menu and 30% off bottles of wine. 4 of us ordered from the prix fixe because it was such a good offer. Portions were full sized. I ordered the eggplant lamb appetizer which wowed my tastebuds and was quite filling. I had the kabob for my entree. It was succulent and flavorful. I even had leftovers. The apricot ride was sweet and a perfect compliment to the savory kabob and grilled veggies. Dessert was a Persian ice cream with a small square of baklava. This is not your normal vanilla ice cream- Cardamom and nuts made it something I had regular access to in day to day life but truly made the dining experience something special. Overall, I highly recommend Bha Bha as a must-visit restaurant. read more

If you are looking for a real culinary adventure, Bha! Bha! Persian Bistro is amazing. This isn't the place to go if you just want a burger or pizza; you need to come with an open mind and a palate ready for unique, explosive flavors. The Food: Everything we tried was incredible. We focused on the lamb and were blown away by how different each preparation tasted: Appetizer: The ground lamb with eggplant was a total flavor explosion. Main Courses: We tried both the grilled lamb and the slow-cooked lamb. Both were delicious and distinct in their seasoning and texture. Dessert: We finished with the typical Persian ice cream, which was refreshing, unique, and the perfect end to the meal. The Experience: The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside, and while the space is cozy, it is small and gets packed very quickly, so I highly recommend making a reservation. Our waiter was absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable about the menu. Pro-Tip: Give yourself time for parking. There is street parking and a garage nearby, but you may have to walk a little bit. It is well worth the short walk! read more

This is our new favorite dinner place on 5th Ave. The food and service were outstanding!! Ambiance was wonderful. The dishes are delicious- so flavorful and cooked perfectly. Summer Fix Prixe 3-course menu is a perfect way to get an introduction. However, we can't wait to go back & try some of the other menu items. The service was professional but everyone was also warm & welcoming! This place is the total package! read more

Wow! The lamb was out of this world, loved the Persian spices, meat fell off the bone. We started with the Dolmeh as an appetizer- delicious, the grape leaves wrapped lamb & chopped garbanzo beans had amazing flavor. My partner had lamb shank, I wish I got that too (food envy) for the flavor was so good, meat fell off the bone, juice and mushrooms were perfect and complimentary. I had the kabob - lamb tasted like a perfectly cooked steak with delicious grilled vegetables over basmati rice to accommodate my gluten free needs. The service was outstanding, my original order had a snafu and they quickly accommodated to make it right. Elegant decor, clean comfortable seating. Outdoor seating available. We preferred the cool vibe with AC inside. read more

I've sent this place for years on the ave. Although Persian food isn't a go to for us, we tried it. I'll say we were not disappointed. We would absolutely come back! We started with the heart of palm salad and mango curry shrimp! Phenomenal! My wife and I shared a generous mixed grill with chicken, beef and lamb. I'll also add their rice is delicious! Hand crafted personal twist cocktails were also great! Try the Persian old fashion and Persian sangria! read more

What an amazing evening at Bha Bha in Naples. The food was absolutely incredible--every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. You can really tell the kitchen takes pride in what they do. I went with two friends and we decided to sit outside. The weather was perfect and our table was right by 5th Avenue, which made the whole experience even better. We enjoyed some fantastic dishes paired with a great bottle of wine and ended up staying for over three hours because we were having such a great time. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and very professional without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere was lively but still relaxed, exactly what you want for a great night out in Naples. Bha Bha is truly one of those places that makes dining on 5th Avenue special. If you're looking for amazing food, great wine, and a memorable evening, this place is a must. read more

This is still one of the best and most unique restaurants in Naples. Delicious and authentic Persian fare. They have an excellent cocktail menu as well.

Excellent ambiance and we just had to sit outside especially in February. Maria our server was amazing and her timing with our group was impeccable which is key. We started off with a bottle of prosecco and a few cocktails. Moved on to olives and hummus which were very tasty. And I have to say each dish was great. Flavors of the seafood paella were very good especially with the tomato based rice and veggies. The salmon and grilled chicken were marinated well and the salmon flaked perfectly. A must stop for those internationally curious foodies. read more

Walked up without a reservation and since it was just to 2 of us we were able to get a table out front. The waiter was friendly. The food came pretty quickly, we both had the Mixed Grill Kabobs, EXCELLENT choice. Everything on the plate was perfect. It was a little cool outside but, they had several heaters outside. Great place, check it out. read more

Food was just OK... nothing spectacular. Service was good. One needs to be cognizant of traffic noise when sitting outside.

I've been waiting to try this place for while and it didn't disappoint. We did the early dining menu for $49 plus and an additional entree. The food was delicious. The lamb dishes were cooked perfectly. Nice and tender. And the seasonings used were perfect. The mixed grilled plate was a wonderful Mixture of all the meat. The filet was delicious. I would say it's a little pricey but a nice treat. read more

I've been wanting to come to Bha! Bha! for a while now and I'm so happy I got to try it. Let me tell you, the drinks are strong! So if you can't handle one drink, then Uber please! The staff was so welcoming and super attentive which I love! We were at a table outside which was pretty cool because the entrance of 5th ave is closed due to the holidays, so it was great to enjoy the outdoors, the lights, the live music. The food was amazing! We ordered shrimp, some lamb dish (don't remember the name), eggplant dish, sorry!!! I blame it on the drink lol! But honestly I loved every single bite! The dessert was SOO good, it had pears, I think it's called Napoleon something, I highly recommend it! 5 stars without a doubt! Everything about it was magnificent!! read more

Went last night! We normally go each time I come to Naples to visit my grandparents. Normally we have a super great experience but last night was slightly underwhelming. The food was less quality than we normally experience. The service was still excellent and my drink was great, super strong pour! My grandfather's seafood kharesh had super overcooked calamari and my grandma's lamb was lacking seasoning. The restaurant was packed so we honestly chalked it up to it being the busy season here in Naples. Definitely not writing this restaurant off but we are going to give it a break! read more

A GEM! We've dined at Bha Bha a half dozen times and it is always amazing. The Persian flavors are always tasty and perfectly balanced. The Plum Lamb is always a go to dish - a deconstructed stew, the plums and potatoes complement the tender lamb. The apricot shrimp are almost as good; the rich sauce really compliments the shrimp. Their signature duck dish is also rich and flavorful, although on our last fisit, the duck itself was a bit dried out. The star of our show were the lamb chops - perfectly cooked, we got three double chops with nice sides. We sampled several of the hot appetizers. An eggplant napoleon was excellent, as was the artichoke and eggplant dip. Similarly, the deserts were delicious. The Persian ice cream, with pistachios, is my favorite. Our friends enjoyed the flourless chocolate cake. The service was quite good. Our server came by to check on us several times throughout our dinner, but never "got underfoot." The reataurant is attractive, the chairs fairly comfortable (although just a bit too short for my 6'3" frame and long legs). The bar has seating inside and outside - a nice touch. Overall, it remains a favorite of ours. read more

I absolutely loved Bha Bha Persian. Conveniently on corner of 5th ave, close to a couple free parking garages. We had reservations so sat promptly. The interior was cozy and comfy. The food was exceptional! We tried the following: Pistachio lamb meatballs- omg the best! They were served with a delicious pomegranate sauce with apricots. Hummus- creamy and full of flavor. Lamb and yogurt with mushrooms- again full of delicious flavors Salmon dish- yum! And the rice was so delicate. Mussels- stunner The only thing I thought was below par was the beet salad. Pretty standard, nothing special. The entire staff seemed depressed. Very blah and our server never smiled. Then disappeared for a while. The food was exceptional! read more

My family went for dinner last week and had an amazing meal. It was my mom's first time having Persian food and our server, Cayan, steered her in an excellent direction. My husband and I had the the lamb chops and quail respectively; they were both prepared beautifully and were full of flavor. Whether you are in Naples or in one of the surrounding areas, I would highly recommend making your way to this restaurant! It was well worth our drive down from Ft. Myers! read more

Nicely decorated on the inside with hues of blues and also has outdoor seating which is where my family and I sat. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive.

Just wanted to start off by saying that the food here is excellent, creative, and flavorful and will get to that later. However, I will say we had some pretty underwhelming service with our waiter david. He was overall impersonal and made no mention of the birthday we were celebrating even though the hostess had made it a point to wish us a happy birthday. Additionally, I felt the bussing service at the restaurant made us feel very pressured and rushed. We had barely finished our apps and mains and we were immediately asked to remove the plates; the overall dining experience felt rushed which was not great. I think if you're going to be charging the prices you are for the food, the service needs to reflect and for us it did not. Moving onto the food, this is definitely the highlight of the meal. We started with the hummus and the lamb eggplant Neapolitan. It was very cool to see a Persian dish in the form of an Italian classic. The flavors were excellent and bold. We had the mixed grill kebob and the ginger apricot shrimp. The shrimp were excellent, super tender and not overly sweet. The kebob sampler was also solid and the meat was extremely tender and packed with flavor. Lastly, we had the chocolate custard with rose which was okay, definitely the weakest part of the meal. It was overpowered with rose. Also, again no mention of happy birthday or a complimentary dessert (but maybe this restaurant doesn't do that, it is my first time so can't draw conclusions). I would come back to this restaurant for the food as it was excellent however I do feel some adjustments need to be made on the service end to really make it a complete dining experience. read more

My bestie really wanted Persian food for dinner and I wanted Italian. We compromised on each of us dining in our preferred spots. We started at Bha!Bha! She ordered an entrée and I ordered a cup of butternut squash soup. The soup was superb and I enjoyed a bite of my friend's meal. Albeit, I don't recall what it was. Our server excellent and even chased us down 5th Avenue when he realized my friend left her credit card in the check portfolio. Both my friend and I were content with our meals as well as the customer service. I would return here on future trips. I highly recommend Bha! Bha! read more

What a marvelous experience. The atmosphere was nice with almost a soothing effect. Our waiter, Walter, was very attentive and witty. My girl started with the Lamb Eggplant Napoleon which was very tasty and really enough for two. And I had the Mango garlic shrimp that was absolutely delicious. Then she enjoyed the Pomegranate Lacquered Salmon which was outstanding as I enjoyed Sheeshleek! (Lamb Chops) that were perfectly cooked. And to close it out our waiter brought a complimentary desert that was so good we had to skip Kilwins ice cream. Very well worth the experience! Mark & Doris read more

Another gem of a restaurant now located right in the heart of downtown Naples. Previously located in Bonita. Came here with few of my girlfriends last weekend . We were all impressed with service & food. There is constancy in the flavor for years now. I had the mango cocktail infused with ginger. I had the barg kabob (Beef). Perfectly plated with vibrant colors. Well seasoned & cooked, bedded on basmati rice , roasted bell peppers, onions & tomato. Would drive at least once a year from Fort myers, well worth the drive! read more
