    We first discovered Alborz and its Persian cuisine when we moved to San Diego over 25 years ago, and we were disappointed when we learned a few years ago that it wasn't at its former location. But here we are now at Del Mar Seaside Grill by Alborz. We've enjoyed lunches and a dinner here over the last two months. The menus contain Persian, Middle Eastern, Mexican, and seafood dishes. Some of my favorites include: Gyros Plate (5/5) -- Generous serving of excellent gyro meat served with pita. ($28 dinner/$22 lunch) Lamb Shish Kabob (5/5) -- Lamb marinated, skewered and charbroiled (honoring my request for medium rare), served with onion, tomatoes and green peppers. ($39 dinner/$26 lunch) Fesenjon (4/5) -- This is a traditional Persian pomegranate and walnut stew with chicken. ($27 dinner) Shrimp Taco (5/5) -- Large soft taco with mound of tasty grilled shrimp. ($9 lunch) Entrées come with choice of two sides, one of which is rice. For an uplift ($5 lunch, $6 dinner) you can also choose from two Persian favorites: Barbery rice -- Zreshk Polo (4/5) or Cherry Rice -- Albaloo Polo (4/5). Soup of the Day is another side choice. I've had the Lemon Chicken Soup (4/5) as a side -- a cup is $12 on the Main Menu. Service has been good, but not always attentive. They are willing to make some dish changes to accommodate a celiac guest, such as corn chips for the pita with the Hummas (3/5). The ambiance is casual with a bar, outdoor seating in front and behind separated by a small dining room. We've dined on the rear deck and in the dining room. Restrooms are down two flights of stairs. Two parking spaces are located there as well. Otherwise, it's street parking in Del Mar.

    This was our second time at this restaurant. It's nicely decorated and it has a good vibe. A husband and wife run the place and they do a good job. We ordered hummus for appetizer, entree comes with two sides, we ordered chicken shish kebabs with rice and salad shirazi . The hummus was good, salad shirazi was very salty and I didn't eat it ( she didn't ask why I didn't eat it ) the chicken on the shish kebab was very tender but unfortunately I could taste and smell butter on the whole dish. That was a big turn off. They are understaffed for sure .

    We wanted to come again for our last night in Del Mar. i had the fish tacos and rice n beans n salad. i had too much food. My wife had the chicken breast ka bob plate and it was also too much. Next time we will split something. It was such a good dinner and the husband and wife hosts are genuinely hospitable. It's a pleasure to come here. We 'll be back

    Love it here! After dining here several times, I feel confident saying they are one of the best Persian restaurants in the city hands down. It also has beautiful views of the ocean (they are currently building a patio deck so their customers can sit and enjoy the ocean views). The ambiance is beach chic and the perfect setting for date night, family dinner, or a celebration. Service was top notch. The owner, Marjan, is super sweet and inviting. Our server was friendly and checked in throughout our meal. She was also so kind to take some wonderful pictures of our family for our father in law's birthday. The food is amazing. First of all, the portions are very generous. We had plenty of leftovers to take home. The food was hot, fresh, tasty, and flavorful. The chicken kebabs are a must! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water :) Everyone enjoyed their meal and left happy and full. Come check it out. You won't be disappointed!

    Greek Salad

    We came here for dinner and sat outside, which was lovely. Our server was friendly and attentive. What we ordered: * Olives: Absolutely loved these! Whatever they used to marinate them was amazing--my favorite item on the menu. * Maust' Moosier: Really good, with dried herbs that gave it a nice twist. * Soltani: Just okay. As a Persian living in Los Angeles, I've had better kabobs--nothing particularly standout here. * Greek Salad: A nice, fresh side to go with the main dish.

    Beef Koobideh

    The restaurant is cozy. The food is good. The Greek salad is excellent. Great dressing and ingredients. As an appetizer we had Baba Ganoush and Hummus. Both were very good. My kids had the Beef Koobideh, which were solid. I chose the Gheimeh. I thought I would try something different and new. I did not like it. For me it was too lemony and didn't have that much flavor. My adult children tried it, and didn't care for it either. This was the only off.

However, we were immediately seated at a very cozy table for two outside with a nice heater - albeit still a bit chilly considering the day started out quite warm. Our attentive and stellar servers were Candace and Ben. Since it was our first time at Valentina, our attentive and stellar servers recommended appetizers, main entree and dessert. Each course that came did not disappoint as our palate reached nirvana with each and every bite we took. I ordered the pork schnitzel as my main course while my partner succumbed to his eyes that were drawn to the ingredients of the seabass. We both shared squash soup and a separate plate of grilled square shaped potatoes that were a perfect pairing we devoured with satisfaction. Dessert came as a surprise, as we were served not one but two desserts - the latter was an added thoughtfulness, acknowledging my partner's birthday. The taste was divine! The bill totaled at just a little over $100, which we expected for this fine dining experience. Oh yes, we plan to return - even way before the next birthday. In the meantime, happy eats everyone and hope to see around town.

    Upscale tapas place - be prepared to leave a lot of money for small plates, but very worthy plates…read more Seafood paella as well as clams were top choices for everyone in our group. Service was also very attentive. Lastly, they have my most favorite soap in the bathroom and I made a point to wash my hands multiple times during dinner service just to experience the scent. Small thing but leaves lasting impression

    I found out about Kan Zaman from a 1 star review of neighbor down the street, called Baba Ali,…read moreacross from Lins Grand Buffet. Reviewer crtisized Baba because they had so little meat for so high a price $30 and that "bigger portions for cheaper prices can be found at Kam Zaman." So here I am. I love lamb and the moussaka lamb shank was recommended to me by my server Alejandra. $23 sounded reasonable to me. Besides the entry in the picture she gave me a basket filled with pita bread and brought me garlic butter and chopped Olive tapenade. I spread that inside the pita with the garlic butter and it was so delicious. I am taking the leftover pieces to put in my toaster oven and heat to crispy and spread the garlic spread and olive tapenade at home yum. I do not live in this area I come from San Diego and Scottsdale arizona. But I am selling my short-term vacation rental in Temecula Wine Country and I don't have any food there because it's not my home. So I found this restaurant through the bubba review. I shall eat here as long as I stay in Temecula the service is warm and welcoming and the food is very satisfying. The portion of the lamb shank and rice was generous so that I save half of it in my own takeout box to have for another dinner with a pita bread. Looking forward to the leftovers. some men win I read the one-star review of no remember Alejandra was my wonderful server, checked up me often

    I tried them for the first time on Saturday the 2nd of April (2026)…read more It was during an unscheduled stop in Murrieta and I usually go to Papa Feta in Temecula, one town over but decided to give this place a try and was not disappointed. We ordered: Chicken Mantar ($21): It comprised of sauteed Chicken with Mushrooms, Onions cooked in a Garlic sauce. It came with rice and was very flavorful. Eggplant Musakka ($23): This Eggplant dish was prepared in a Tomato sauce with fall off the bone Lamb shank and some garlic sauce. Accompanied with rice, it was also excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The only setback was that the food took almost 30 minutes to be served but the restaurant was fully packed. Service was also top notch. I would definitely be going back there again.
