This is a place where a genuine passion for food, Persian cuisine, and exceptional customer service come together! You can tell that every dish is prepared meticulously with high-quality ingredients. The artistic presentation of the food, combined with the warm and welcoming personalities of the owner and staff, Kia and Manny, makes every visit a delight. We discovered this gem a few months ago through word of mouth from friends, and we've been hooked ever since. My daughter absolutely loves their Koobideh, and we find ourselves coming back at least once a week. The only thing I'd suggest is that they do a bit more marketing as more people deserve to experience this fantastic restaurant! read more

Koobikland - Salad with nice decoration - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Orange, California

See all

A nice find for Persian eats in the area. Fair price, large food quantities along with pleasant staff. We wanted to take it in and had the chicken, beef and lamb koobideh platters. Great skewer portions along with tasty generous quantity of mild rice. Nice that this was not overly buttered like some syles of rice tend to be. The meat tasty though more garlic than we liked. The lamb and beef was near indistinguishable from each other than the aroma. Chicken highly garlic themed as well that between the three meats they sort of lost their inherit natural flavors. Enjoyable overall and recommended. read more

Had lunch here with a friend. Tried the Queen of Persia, which is the chicken kabob and chicken koobideh combo. Both juicy and tender. The kashkeh bademjan was really good too. The restaurant is a good size and can accommodate larger parties. Service was attentive. read more

Sunday lunch with friends. This place was REALLY good! Since we were a party of 5, the server suggested family style. We ordered 3 entrees which with family style, the salad, chopped cuc tomato & tzatziki ) offered gratis. Pita with butter is offered table side with refills. We shared: 1) boneless chicken 2) Egypt kabob (seasoned gr beef) 3) kabob torsh (gr lamb marinated with pomegranate) The platter came out & looked amazing! We added polo lati (sumac, butter & tomato rice). Besides the meats and regular basmati rice, they had house-made pickles(dill), red onion slices, charred tomatoes, jalapeños, & lemon wedges. The meats were grilled beautifully, lamb wasn't "gamey", tender chicken breast nicely marinated in maybe a yoghurt base, pickles, lemon, jalapeños were a nice tart contrast. Almost forgot about the sumac on the side. I really enjoy sumac & the tartness it adds. Kind of reminds me of Japanese shiso. The salad with crisp iceberg lettuce, red cabbage & a pink dressing (tasted similar to 1,000 isle dsg). Pink from pomegranate(?) sumac(?). Anyway the salad was simple but nice. Tzatziki was creamy & tart. The cucumber tomato relish was HAND CUT! Not food processed. Perfectly nice square cuts. Fresh, simple & refreshing. Will return when in the area. This spot is centrally located for our friend group. Ample parking. Staff helpful with ordering for the newbies. While we've all had Mediterranean meals prior, all restaurants vary a bit. The guy was super patient & informative. read more

Koobikland - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Orange, California

If you're even thinking about going to Koobikland, just go. Seriously. This place is an absolute gem in Orange. From the moment you walk in, you can tell it's not your average spot. The vibe is super welcoming, creative, and just straight-up fun. Everything feels thoughtfully put together, from the layout to the little details that make the whole experience feel unique. And the food? Absolutely delicious. Every bite tasted fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell they're not cutting corners, everything feels intentional and high quality. It's the kind of food you keep thinking about after you leave and can't wait to come back for. What really stood out to me was how much care and passion goes into what they do. You don't get that cookie-cutter, rushed feeling here, it's the opposite. The staff is friendly, helpful, and genuinely seems like they want you to have a great time, which makes a huge difference. Whether you're going with friends, family, or even just checking it out solo, it's one of those places that leaves you in a better mood than when you walked in.

Koobikland - Family Style - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Orange, California

Honestly might have been my first time trying Persian food and I've definitely added it to my favorites. Definitely some similarities to Greek food and overall very healthy and filling. Friendly service, they were super welcoming and happily helped with recommendations. We all got an order of the Koobideh and some chicken on the side. I'd say I can put away food pretty well and this had me pushing a bit with lots of flavorful, filling protein. Meat was seasoned well, tender, juicy, and balanced out with the rice and vegetables. I don't care much for sauces and was pleased that the yogurt sauce was not necessary because nothing was dry. read more

Koobikland - Koobideh - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Orange, California

It was similar to darya in terms of quality and experience. I couldn't tell you the difference. I do think it's not as nice as darya (inside the restaurant) but the price seemed slight cheaper. Nevertheless the food is excellent and I'd visit both if possible. read more

Thank You TikTok for recommending this hidden gem, since Koobikland has become my absolute favorite Persian Restaurant in SoCal (coming from a Persian Gal)... My friend and I checked this place out for lunch today, and can't wait to return and try different items off of their menu... Food = 5/5 Presentation = 5/5 Customer Service = 5/5 Value= 5/5 Ambiance = 5/5 There is plenty of free parking in the shopping center.. read more

Excellent place for Persian cuisine. This was my first time coming here so of course I had to try the Koobideh. Much like judging an Italian place by their pizza or lasagna or a Mexican place by their Tacos and rice, so do I judge a Persian place by its Koobideh and Saffron rice. Both were very excellent. The beef Koobideh was juicy and flavorful. Some of the best I ever had. The saffron rice was done very well. Rice should be easy but unfortunately not everyone gets rice done right. No worries here as the rice was perfect and tasty. Not only is this a good time to support your local Persian businesses but it is always a good time to support this excellent restaurant. If you never had Persian food, or if you have and are looking for a great place, look no further. Koobikland is the way to go. Good food. Good people. Enjoy. read more

Koobikland - Beef Koobideh with Saffron rice and grilled tomato and pepper. - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Orange, California

Quiet, piano guitar or mandolin music, real tablecloths for real people, no snooty a- holes screaming into their phones. You'll will take home extras of their filet mignon meat skewers because u eat the entree. ALL of it. Plus saffron rice and elegant service. Heaven on earth. I saw old farts from old orange like me, old and young middle eastern people, and a bunch of white/asians hoping for a brain break. No one spoke above a whisper because they didn't have to. Best food since Colleary's bistro, really. Too much booze for me at the Tartan room. This place only serves beer, wine and real Arabic coffee in tiny cups. You will be asleep or awakes for days, guaranteed. Food made by the owners. Confused young waiters who love cash tips. I am two-timing Rosine's. It's that GOOD. read more

Got the eggplant Borani as an appetizer. It was really good, it also had like a Smokey taste to it. I'm not sure what caused it but it was really good with out food. Me and my friend got the combo platter with beef and chicken. Beef was very juicy and well made. Chicken was flavorful but the beef was our favorite. Definitely a must try. Inside was very nice and they sometimes have a person playing the piano so this would be a great spot for a Date. Service was so kind. We will be back! read more

Outstanding Persian Cuisine with a Modern Touch! I stopped by Koobikland Restaurant in Orange, CA during my trip from Northern California, and it was one of the best Persian cuisines I've ever had! The drinks and juices were incredibly fresh and refreshing. We ordered Kase Kabab with Polo Lati and the Reza Loghmeh (had to try it since my name is Reza ) - everything was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and beautifully served. If you're looking for authentic Persian food with a modern touch, this is the place! I just wish they'd open a branch in NorCal! read more

Koobikland - Kaseh Kabob and Polo Lati - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Orange, California

As someone who used to live in Iran, this is the most authentic Iranian restaurant I've been into in Southern California. The kabob koobideh was DELICIOUS! it wasn't dry or flavorless like other Persian restaurants, and it was decorated with garnishes and authentic sides. I am absolutely coming back again!!! read more

Yummy kabob and nice combination of flavors with white rice and saffron rice on top of that tray and salad and mixed yogurt and cucumbers with mint , fresh bread with butter and delicious food all in one order in friendly area and ambience with friendly staff. We had a best experience as always here. I recommend this place to everyone who wants to try good food with best price. I love the ambiance of this restaurant with Persian decoration and some vintage stuff from iran . Enjoy with your friends over there, don't go alone ! read more

I noticed Koobikland after trying Mypanecito a few days before. This was my first time trying Persian cuisine and I was impressed. The restaurant is clean and spacious. The waiter began by bringing out butter and bread. This was light yet delicious. I asked for a Persian tea for my drink. The tea is unsweetened with an earthy taste,which becomes enhanced in flavor with sugar. For my starter I opted for the falafel which came paired with tomato and pickles. Yum this was worth it. For the main dish, I ordered the King of Persia with Polo Lati. Everything about this dish was to mind blowing. I definitely recommend this, savory, refreshing and spicy. They also had live music which added a great experience. Don't miss out on this hidden gem. read more

What a find! Just happen to stumble on this Persian place on our way back from Anaheim Stadium. We were hesitant to try the rice-polo lati but glad we did! We loved it! And the presentation on the wood servers very original. Even though it's not far from the other Persian restaurant we are glad we came in and will come again when we're in the area! And the food is also highly recommended. We had the Koobideh combo. read more

Hidden gem. They have live music during dinner. Lovely staff and servers. Food is divine. I wish we had taken more photos of the food but it looked so good we dove right in. They also have an Instagram page if you want more photos. The food tastes as good as it photographs. Plenty of seating. Easy parking. read more

This place is so pretty! I would love to come on a day they have live music. There's a grand piano when you come in so how nice would that be to experience lovely music while dining. I'll definitely be returning for that. Not only was the restaurant super clean and fabulous, the food presentation and quality were up to par. We were greeted by our lovely waitress who was so friendly and accommodating. She served us pita bread with a beautiful house-made saffron butter. We ordered the chicken koobideh from the lunch menu, and for $17 it was so worth it! It was very tasty and tender. The rice was cooked to perfection- fluffy and not oily. They also served the dish with sides of thinly sliced red onions, a grilled tomato and chili pepper, pickles and sumac seasoning. I must say I enjoyed my experience dining at this restaurant. I highly recommend it. read more

Great service on a sunday 12:30pm lunch. The combo was enough to feed two people. We also enjoyed the Walnut Salad and as it her reviewers had said, was refreshing. We aren't usually on this side but we enjoyed coming out to celebrate father's day with our party of 9. They also accommodated our stroller parking next to the table needs for our infant. read more

Really good quality koobideh. Closest thing to what we used to have back in iran. Been there 5 times and each time the food tasted good and consistent. Great service too. read more

The food here is very well prepared and full of flavor. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They have excellent service. The decor is very beautiful and kept up well. My feedback would be the plating as it is different from any experience at a Persian restaurant in that they serve your food on charcutterie boards. The charcutterie boards tend to slide while you eat off of them so it makes it inconvenient. Pricing is not the greatest especially when a Melon Juice that costs $10.99 is a very small serving and the portion sizes in comparison to other Persian restaurants locally do not compare. read more

We were thrilled to be able to come here for a late lunch today. When we arrived at 2pm we were the only ones there and luckily didn't need a reservation. They had incredible live music and a singer who had a lovely voice that serenaded us with a mix of Persian and English songs. The food: The mast o mousir was a pass for us since it was chunky and clumpy not the finely ground mousir we prefer. However the kebab, wow. The chicken was moist and delicious. Not dry at all and flavorful. The rice was fluffy and had a good amount of saffron. It came with a mast o khiar which was excellent so definitely the yogurt to order next time. The shirazi was seasoned well and perfectly diced. The bastani stole the show! Homemade, softly churned till smooth, fresh pistachios and cut into nice triangles. We ordered two of the ice creams for the 4 of us and we devoured it. Price was reasonable for the portion, atmosphere etc. Ice cream was expensive but given that it is homemade and legit saffron it is understandable. ($23 for two bowls) Definitely worth returning to when out in the area. read more

I love Persian food. And I'm always looking for an authentic place with good food and great prices. I live six hours away and in the area that I've lived in. There are very few places to get delicious food. I will 100% drive the six hours to come here for the food upon walking in. We felt welcomed we were seated at a table that was available bread and butter was provided. It was the most wonderful bread and butter that I've ever had in my life. My daughter and I ordered Persian tea and I've had this before. Remind you, but this was steep very well. Presentation was everything. Our server was just phenomenal welcoming we felt comfortable. Our food was delicious. It was the best food I've had in a long time fresh hot and definitely worth the money and worth coming here for the facility is beautiful cleaned well kept very nicely decorated very traditional in my view of what I have noticed the music was beautiful to go with the environment. I would highly suggest for you to come here and try the food and meet the Amazing staff. they're all very very kind very humbled very generous and I will definitely be back again. read more

First time here and decided to give it a try since all the reviews were literally five stars. Great seating inside and decorated nicely. The plates we ordered were a work of art, but the food came out cold, especially the rice and had no flavor. My plate came with a side of cucumber yogurt and the cutest sumac on the side. The yogurt was unfortunately tasteless and watery. The shirazi salad we ordered was really good but zero salt. My food came out cold and seemed like it was sitting out, which I found surprising since we were the only customers. The Persian tea was tasteless and lukewarm, even though she brought new tea. It was again cold. I know they are new and trying, and I wish them success. read more

First of all, the setting is beautiful, and even the paper napkins have Koobikland name a logo embossed in it. The owner plays the piano while you're eating if you're lucky! Everything we had was excellent, and this could be one of the best Persian restaurants I've been to. We got the Beef Koobideh, Chicken Koobideh, King of Persia, Kashk Bademjan, Baklava and Saffron Ice Cream. Every single dish was excellent. Even the pita bread with butter was far beyond average. The butter that's used here is different. We will be back. The quality is too notch, and the experience is memorable! read more

We have been to Koobikland three times. The food is so flavorful!! Bread is brought to the table when you are seated. I love the chicken with saffron rice. The generous portion of food comes on a big platter, with pickles, sliced red onions, a couple of spicy peppers, and a roasted tomato! I had the Persian hot black tea, which is served with sugar cubes on the side. My dining partner had a beef wrap, and loved it. We always say that we want to save room for dessert, but we have been too full each time!! I usually have leftovers to bring home. The servers are attentive and friendly. I will definitely return to Koobikland. read more

Came here in a Friday night, clearly slow, we were the only clients. Lovely place and decor was nice. Service was excellent, friendly and attentive. We started with a cucumber tomato salad, which was very fresh and exactly what we wanted. I had the boneless chicken, and it was absolutely deliciously. My husband had the combo plate and loved it as well. Presented beautifully on wooden platters....and I say this because I have never been served on those. Altogether lovely and food was absolutely wonderful, all fresh and made to order. Will absolutely come again. read more
