Great, delicious food. Can get pretty busy on the weekends, but well worth the wait…read more This place serves solid Persian food with flavorful, juicy kebabs and generous portions. The rice and sides hit the mark, and everything tastes fresh. Weekends fill up fast, so expect a wait if you don't arrive early or put your name in right away. Still worth it for the quality. Good spot in Quail Hill when you're craving authentic kabobs and stews.

My Persian boyfriend has been ordering the same soltani and stews from Irvine Grill for a couple of…read moreyears now. Every time it has been amazing and flavorful. Except the past few orders. The koobideh has been cooked inconsistently... half semi burnt, the other half barely cooked. This wasn't just a one time anomaly, it's happened three times now... as if their grill is unevenly heating the meat. Second, they used to make their own bread, but over the past month and a half "their oven is 'broken'". Finally, the fesenjan started out as balanced and full of walnuts and meat... Now it's just a sweet syrup with barely any walnuts or meat. A complete gyp. And to pay over $70 for food that is subpar is beyond infuriating. We're never going to order from Irvine Grill ever again.

I can confidently say that Darbari Persian Grill is my all-time favorite spot for Persian cuisine…read more Every single time I come here, it's consistently amazing. My go-to order is the chicken Cornish, and I always substitute the rice for zereshk polo. The rice is perfectly fluffy every time, and the barberries add the most delicious tang that just brings the whole dish together. It's seriously so good. They're also incredibly generous with their lavash bread, which I love because it pairs perfectly with everything. But what really makes this place special is the service. Everyone here is genuinely so kind and attentive, and I mean everyone. You're always greeted when you walk in and again when you leave, which just makes the whole experience feel so warm and welcoming. There's also an older gentleman who is always there with the biggest smile, checking in to make sure everything is perfect, and it never goes unnoticed. I also love that it's pet-friendly. The outdoor seating area with the turf is such a nice touch, and my dog absolutely loves it. Overall, this place is a 10/10 with 1000/10 service. Anytime I'm in the area, I have to stop here without fail.

Highest honest value for the food and service provided for this bill was $50 per person not $71 or $73 that was charged. Don't waste your money in this restaurant who are dishonest business people trying to take advantage of Iranian crowd who not costume to complain. Very BAD.

We were looking for a middle eastern style place to eat and settled in Persian/Iranian at Darya…read more We were seared quickly and our server, who was very friendly, approached and offered drinks and appetizers. We ordered an order of dolmeh to start. For main course we ordered Darya salad, and koobideh kabob plates. The dolmeh were warm and delicious, the salad was big enough for three of us to share and was very good. I especially liked the chunks of sliced dates in the salad. The koobideh meat came out hot, was well seasoned and also very tasty! The plate came with two kabobs and a side of basmati rice! The portion was so large I could only eat one of the kabobs. Had the second one the next day for lunch!! Score!!! The only thing I wish was that they had something spicy to add to the dish, but no luck on that! Sorry no pics!!

I asked if they could still make me a chicken quesadilla, and Ricardo went out of his way to check with the kitchen to see if they could accommodate my request. Thankfully, they were able to! He let me know it would be about 10 minutes and invited me to have a seat at the bar while offering me some water. What really stood out was Ricardo's genuine hospitality. He was incredibly friendly, personable, and attentive. We had a great conversation while I waited, and he made me feel welcome despite the fact that they were getting ready to close. It's not often you come across someone who delivers that level of customer service so naturally. The chicken quesadilla was excellent, too!

Came here to celebrate my mom's birthday and had a great experience!…read more The restaurant is beautiful, colorful, and full of energy. One of the best parts is that it's halal, which made it an easy choice for our family. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. We ordered a lot of food, including the beef tacos, enchiladas, beef kabob plate, and chicken kabob plate. Everything was delicious! The meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal, and there wasn't a single dish we didn't like. This is a great spot for both large family gatherings and smaller groups. I would recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends, since it can get busy. We had a wonderful time celebrating and will definitely be back!

I've been here twice recently and it can get a little pricey, so maybe lunchtime is the move…read more I loved my adas polo, the flavors of dates and raisins adds a fun sweetness to the rice and chicken. My friend's all time favorite dish here is the chicken koobideh so give that a try if you want koobideh. I hope to come back and try their cocktails or dessert soon.

This is a nicer restaurant. Large dining room with decor inside definitely more on the elegant side…read moresuited well for special occasions, fine dining and perhaps a quiet dinner. The dinner prices were fair, with larger portions. Our service was good with average wait time for our meal and the servers were attentive without being over-bearing. However, I must say though that I found it annoying that the server offered a option of changing from all rice for a side to 1/2 rice, 1/2 salad, which I opted for, but she did not say there was an upcharge for that. No one likes surprise additions on the bill. Also noted with the larger portions, if you should split a meal, you will have $8 added to your bill. Now the food was definitely delicious. I would probably visit again for a fine dining experience.

I was greeted with a smile by the gentleman cooking behind the counter and I was able to self seat at the table of my choosing. The person that took my order was very kind and instructed me to grab a beverage from the fridge if I'd like. I ordered a simply chicken and rice plate with a side of their salad. I can't recall the name but it was very tasty, fresh, and delicious. The food came out quickly and tasted amazing, the chicken was cooked to perfection and the rice was flavorful. I enjoy the roasted tomatoes as well as the jalapeno on the side. It brought even more flavor and texture to the meal.

The food itself still great most everything was perfect. But I gotta see the customer service was not good, I was being rushed every minute the server was coming to the table, asking if I was ready to order, I mentioned to her that I was new to this cuisine and I wanted to try something new, when I ask questions she just told me to read the menu, no once they come to check if everything was OK. We order an appetizer on the menu. It says $13. She said the price was a little bit different but when the bill came, it was $33 for the appetizer and that's insane. But I was having a lunch celebration for my birthday and we didn't wanna kill the vibe so we just paid for it but we're not happy at all. So honestly, even though the food is still great, I probably will never go back there. My first experience was a five star and today it was a two star just because the food still great otherwise would be a zero star. I'm very disappointed.
