We absolutely loved the side salad dressing and chicken shawarma. The pita was very fresh. Everything was seasoned very well. The hummus was super silky. The portions were large.

Very clean, open and inviting. I was familiar with a lot of things on the menu so it took me awhile…read moreto decide what I wanted because it all looked good. Plus, I was so hungry. Today I ordered a side of beef sambousek and pickles based on others reviews. I thought the pickles tasted like a solid kosher pickle. If you're a pickle purest you should love them. The sambousek was definitely a hit! It was delicate and full of flavor. It's worth getting all three of them. I'll do that next time. The main entree was a kafta kebab wrap which is automatically served with some of the tastiest seasoned fries I've eaten in a long time. In fact, I would say it's worth it to just order a side of fries alone. Anyway, the kafta had a homemade vibe to me and was topped with the usual suspects. An order of kibbeh and hummus rounded out my order. The kibbeh was perfectly cooked and the hummus was super creamy as house made hummus goes. Oh! This may sound crazy but I was even impressed with the lemon slices in my water. They tasted a little sweeter than what I'm accustomed to when eating out. Overall I really liked this place and it was worth the drive across town. Next time I'll be taking friends with me to enjoy a meal. One last note regarding payment. They do have Apple Pay! Woohoo! Just be aware whether you're using Apple Pay or a card, to avoid the small fee use your debit card instead of a credit card.

I was absolutely delighted to find this place so close to home! Can't believe I hadn't noticed it…read morebefore. I was browsing Uber Eats for Mediterranean food when I found Golden and realized they had something that looks an awful lot like Khachapuri (here it's on the menu as Aldo). So I abandoned my plans of delivery food and promptly made my way in to eat. We got a solid sampling of the menu: - hummus/foul - Aldo with cheese and an over easy egg (I think their default may be scrambled but they do over easy if you ask!) - stuffed grape leaves - labani + black olive flatbread - kufta with tomato sauce - shawarma chicken wrap Lord above, my heart was so happy. The foul is exceptionally garlicky. Perfectly so. My partner said the hummus was his favorite thing we ordered, and he's a pretty discerning dude! The Aldo was excellent. The grape leaves came out hot, which surprised me, but again - solid! Flatbread? Stellar. Maybe even better the next day. The kufta didn't particularly excite me, but I wasn't the one who ordered it, and my partner was happy. My shawarma wrap? Oh boy, that garlic sauce. They even perfectly portion the innards so your pickles aren't all stuck to one side and the fries to the other. You can have pickles in almost every bite! We also got several desserts to take home. I haven't sampled them yet, but the hazelnut baklava in particular intrigues me. Casual ambiance. Options for booths or tables, inside or outside. I am so thrilled to have found Golden - they'll be a regular spot for me!

Middle Eastern Bakery and Deli is a not to be missed gem…read more Part bakery, part deli, part grocery shop, this place is small, but mighty. The atmosphere is unpretentious and the service was fast. I ordered the Ouzi Platter. While not cheap, the portion size is enough for two meals, so plan for leftovers. The Filo (spelled Fillo on their menu board) was light and flaky. The texture was so nice and flaky I would have enjoyed it without the filling. But, filling it had and it was good. Both the marinade lamb and seasoned rice rounded out the dish nicely. The platter included tzatziki sauce, a bed of seasoned rice, a warm pita and Greek salad. White the type of platter was "Ouzi", the standout was the Greek salad. IMO, any salad can be easily ruined with a subpar dressing. This Greek salad and its dressing were outstanding and worthy of ordering on its own. With its laid back, casual, family feel, large portions and out of this world Greek dressing, I'll be back soon.

The staff are wonderfully friendly from the moment you walk in, and the food itself is fresh-tasting, generously portioned, and very fairly priced. I ordered the steak kebab platter, served with hummus, baba ganoush, and a salad - every bite was delicious. We also tried the chicken kebab with the same sides, and it was out of this world. To top it off, the staff surprised us with a complimentary baklava dessert, three generously sized triangles, flaky and sweet and absolutely delicious. Between the warm hospitality, the quality of the food, and the portions, there was truly nothing not to like. Highly recommend for anyone craving Mediterranean food done right.

My friend order the chicken....I've never seen or tasted drier chicken....we jokingly called it Chicken Chips. Should have returned it but didn't. They must have known as they were plating? Ate very little.... I ordered the lamb kabob....it was ok but pretty bland, looked like processed little meat balls. . Service was good and friendly, no owner on site. In past visits I loved their Asobuco but none was on the menu. That's what I wanted to order. There was free baklava ....wasn't looking for free....went up to the counter to order some. Then was given two out of a bunch of stacked containers behind the register. If I hadn't inquired wouldn't have known. In past visits they always walked around with a tray and offered. This was dry as well..... I do appreciate free but not dry. I was willing to pay. I probably caught them on an off night, business was good which is always a good sign. I'll give them another shot but won't order the Chicken Chips.

A true gem in the Valley. I visited the Persian Room for the first time with visiting family, and…read morewe were amazed. Firstly, the interior is GRAND - in size and extravagance. Every detail you notice is extravagant and purposeful. Visiting on a Saturday for lunch, there were plenty of other families eating together too. I noticed the crowd was mostly older, which lets you know this restaurant is a true staple in the community (I find that usually the old people know what's up). As all 4 of us weren't super hungry, we split the Persian Room Special- Combination of barg (Filet mignon), chicken filet and Koobideh kebab, served with basmati rice and grilled tomato. It was a huge portion of food, served on a large silver platter. The menu states that it serves 2, but it perfectly filled us 4 adults! Granted, we weren't super hungry to begin with, but 2 is definitely an underestimate. I'd say it can easily satisfy 3 hungry adults. Anyway, quantity aside, THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! Everything was so flavorful and paired well together. The meat was also juicy. My favorite was the koobideh kebab for sure. There isn't much more I can say, as the food speaks for itself. The Persian Room is definitely something you need to try for yourself. Weeks later, I'm still craving it and will definitely be back!

Her lamb shank was so fatty, there was barely any meat. The sauce it comes it wasn't hot - it was sort of warm, and she said the flavor wasn't there. My rack of lamb was ok, cooked to rare just how I wanted it, but it too, had a lot of sinew for little meat lollipops. My rice was also room temp, which could be fine, but seemed a bit odd to me. Thankfully this was a business meal, but we would have been both extremely disappointed had it come from our own pockets. Given all the five star reviews, I want to think this was a really off night. Wouldn't be my first choice next time, but I could go back and give it another shot.

Some restaurants chase trends. Others just quietly keep making really good food year after year…read more This is one of those places. I'd been here several times years ago, and after coming back, I'm honestly wondering why I don't eat here more often. I ordered the chicken shawarma, a stuffed grape leaves platter, and hot tea. Everything was exactly what I hoped it would be. The chicken was well-seasoned, tender, and wrapped with the classic toppings, and the portion was fair for the price. Speaking of price, the value here is honestly hard to beat. The stuffed grape leaves platter came with hummus, tabbouleh, pita, and hot stuffed grape leaves. I had completely forgotten they serve them warm, and my brain needed a minute to recalibrate because I'm so used to cold dolmas everywhere else. Once I took a bite, though... yep. That's how they're supposed to taste. Soft, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. I ended up adding some of the hummus and tabbouleh to my shawarma, which made an already great sandwich even better. The service was just as impressive as the food. My server was genuinely kind, gave me a few extra minutes when I couldn't decide, checked in without hovering, and even offered to package my hot tea to go when he noticed I was still working on it. (For the record, ordering an entire pot of tea for one person was an ambitious life choice on my part.) The dining room isn't huge, and there's also a small market attached, which adds to the charm. This place reminds me that consistency is underrated. Years later, I came back, and it was just as good as I remembered. Great food, great service, great value. I'll try not to wait so long before my next visit.
