20 Years of Searching - Finally Found It!…read more I've lived in Colorado for 20 years, and I've been dying to find a Persian restaurant that matches King Kebab in Sacramento. Well, I finally found it - Baba Joon Kebabs! I actually drove pretty far from my side of town just to get this food, so I was really excited to taste it. And let me tell you - it did not disappoint. The rice was beautiful, the sauce was perfect, the naan (the bread) was very tasty - everything was just spot on. I didn't have time to dine in, so I ordered takeout. I gave some to my daughter to try, and she fell in love with Persian food on the spot. Then I gave it to my high school daughter, and she loved it too. This was their first time trying Iranian food, and they're already hooked. I didn't get to try the lamb shank this time, but next time I'm going straight for it. And honestly, I need to go back, sit down, and really enjoy eating at the restaurant the way it's meant to be experienced. I highly recommend people give Baba Joon Kebab a try. This is one of those cultural foods you need to have in Denver or in Colorado. Because let's be real - Colorado is a fast food state. It doesn't have much cultural food like this. This is one of the cultural foods you'll actually love. And shout out to the Iranian family running it - they did a great job. Very, very good food. If you do the lamb shank right - and from what I tasted, I bet you do - you have my blessing to go. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

I had an amazing dining experience at Safta!…read more The wine list is well curated, both the BTG and bottle list was impressive. We chose an Areni wine, the Yacobian Hobbs. I was excited to try after watching a documentary on the Somm channel about that specific winemaker. The wine was delicious. Additionally, I was so happy to see small boutique wine from the Santa Barbara area like Amevive and A Tribute to Grace. Our server Yvonne guided our menu choices thoughtfully and enhanced our experience with excellent service. We started with watermelon feta salad with baby cilantro, walnuts, and harissa oil. The watermelon was cool, sweet, and crisp and the flavors balanced perfectly. If you are a pickle lover you must get the pickles. I think I will be dreaming of them. The pickled cabbage, okra, califlower and snap peas were just the best! The pitas were puffy, but not hollow, and warm. There was also an olive oil dipping sauce that complemented everything. Star of the show for me was the forgaged mushrooms and hummus. These were the most delicious mushrooms and snoothest hummus I have ever experienced, and I think there might be magicians in the kitchen. Our other dishes were cabbage and eggplant. Both taste explosions, done masterfully with a sauce, color and texture. This food is truly incredible, highly recommend. I am in Denver for work, anytime I travel back to Denver I will for sure return to Safta.

Coffee was fine but they gave such a large cup and it got cold right away and we felt bad for asking for refills when we still had a good amount left but cold. Lines weren't bad at all on a Sat morning. Basic American fruit/yogurt, bread, pastries. Deviled eggs. Prime rib was good The different types of sauces like baba ghounash, hummus, etc-- those were all really good mixed together with pita bread. Mediterranean salad was good. Cabbage was meh this time. No honeycomb this time :( :( :( I did not like ANY of the desserts. Neither did my partner. So I just had normal fruit/yogurt for dessert which seemed wasteful. Everything else was kind of just meh to me. Not worth the $65/person (with tip and tax). They also include a 5% surcharge on the bill.

Late this afternoon, even though we had planned a great dinner at home, Glenda said to me... 'Jerry, it's too hot for you to light up the Weber, let's head out to dinner'. I thought about Shondiz and we headed there for our first time. Good choice! Parking was right out front, air conditioning felt great, we were greeted warmly and handed the menus and two large glasses of ice cold, refreshing water. We shared two appetizers of falafel and yogurt dip, fresh pita with a garlic roasted eggplant tapenade, saffron rice, wonderfully roasted chicken and beef kabob with grilled tomato and japapeno on the side. Gotta say, the food was delicious and prepared to perfection! We were both satisfied immensely and for some reason, we had room for the homemade Persian ice cream with spices and grated pistachio. What a way to end a fine meal! The owner came out to offer his thanks for our very positive time there at his restaurant. We will return, highly recommended!

Located in the food court of SW plaza has plenty of clean and open seating to choose from. The menu is somewhat limited to about a dozen items including lamb, chicken, and falafel and everything looked fresh from my side of the counter.

The food court is pretty decent post COVID and there are other good food options if desired.

I had the Gyro plate. The dish comes with seasoned beef and lamb served with basmati rice, salad, hummus, grilled vegetables and tzatziki sauce. I also had a soda and a slice of their baklava. The entree was great. Baklava was okay. I felt that it was average. Also, it didn't take that long to get my food. Keep this in mind if you're considering Kabora for lunch. There is seating nearby. Also, Kabora is a typical restaurant setup in a mall food court. I will definitely consider eating lunch again at Kabora. If you're curious about Afghan food, go for it. Looking forward to another meal here.

The baba ghanouj was very tasty, the hummus was good, the pita was ok. It was warm, but small pieces. Salads and felafel were good. The service is generally good.
