Lajevard Diner Cafe - Eggplant and tomato cheese omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Jose, California

See all

I was looking for a brunch place that offered something new or different and came upon this place. It's located inside a shopping center and parking is a garage behind the main building. I ordered the Sobhaneh for one, the tandoori chicken paratha and a breakfast burrito. The burrito had a good amount of cheese and wrapped really well. Pretty good too with all the bell peppers. This is my first time have a Persian breakfast with the Sobhaneh and my first time at this place. The dish has a few dishes. I was fine with trying everything and eating them how I think they should be eaten, but it would have been nice if someone there explained a little more. The baqlava drink was delicious. I would come back to order it again and try other coffee drinks. The tandoori chicken paratha was pretty good too. A new take on that taco look. Inside was eclectic decor, with wooden tables with bench or chair seating. read more

It's an experience. I never had Persian food so I was in for a treat. My friend and I got the Sobhaneh breakfast platter with the tea. We got eggs with sausages. The sausages were salty so we didn't need condiments with our food. It's so simple but so cool. I was not used to the pickled veggies but like the cucumber and tomato was refreshing. We ordered from the kiosk and it was really simple. Our food came out one at the time. We got our tea first and then the bread with the sides. Our eggs and sausages plate came last. Front person was a lovely girl who was attentive. This isnt your sit down and be served place. It has a lot space for a cafe so it is handicapped friendly. Parking in the back in a garage. You might miss the restaurant when driving. The bathroom was not clean. The door is hard to push through as a handicapped person or maybe I need to work out. I'll still give it 5 stars for the food. I rated 4.5 but it's a new restaurant so I can't really docked it down to 4 just yet. read more

This was seriously one of the best breakfast I've ever had in my life. If you're wondering if you should come to this restaurant, you absolutely should. The Persian breakfast is incredible. I was greeted when I walked in with a big welcome smile. Every component was made with intention. The eggplant tomato omelette was off the hook with flavor. The accoutrement that come on another plate were all fantastic and generously portioned. The housemade fresh blueberry compote? There are no words. It was so delicious. I've had to stop myself from licking the bowl. Not very sweet, whole blueberries in it. The huge slice of house made bread was crispy and soft at the same time. The pickled vegetables, (carrots, cucumbers, cauliflower, pepperoncini, celery, and olives)! The slice of soft feta cheese went so well with the omelette and finishing all off with a very fresh and delicious piece of halva. It is also an incredibly beautiful restaurant. The decor is understated and elegant. Great care was taken to pick beautiful serving dishes. As soon as they put the pot of tea in front of me, I knew I'd made the right decision. There is parking in the garage outback of the building. Stop scrolling, just go here. Even when I was finished eating and went outside to their patio (they were busy and I wanted to give up my table) they checked on me to see it I needed anything. read more

Cool concept, pretty bland delivery. Chill brunch option away from the madding crowd though.

Lajevard Diner Cafe in San Jose is a new Persian diner and tea house where we will be their new regulars‼ Mina and her son just started a new venture together a few weeks ago and we can see every detail is full of intention. From the moment you walk in it's welcoming, great quality Persian high tea, Kim chi burger, and paratha. The babka is the best chocolate pastry I've ever had! @DateNight | D will definitely be back to try their other menu items #bayarea #foodie #persian #tea #datenight read more

They have delicious brunch, good service, clean outdoor seating, and they serve tea in a teapot. I look forward to returning.

First visit this morning. Learned today how much I enjoy a Persian breakfast! I had the Sobhāneh for one with the Sujuk omelette and Zaffran tea. Food was excellent. Counter service to order and deliver to your table. The host at the counter was super pleasant and helpful in explaining things to me to help me choose. Will definitely be back again to try other dishes and baked goods! read more

Not bad at all but pretty basic ingredients. Sobhaneh items were pretty bland. Also got Paratha, veggie patty with fries. While paratha was flaky and fries crispy, black bean patty felt store bought. Zaffrani tea was good. Staff is pretty courteous and vibe is cool. Might return to try some other stuff but Sobhaneh was something I was excited about as I've never tried but it was a letdown. read more

I ordered a Persian breakfast set which included rose tea, eggs with sausage, cucumber and tomatoes, pickled vegetables and peppers, a blend of what I think is saffron, honey, cardamom and a candied apricot, a side of cheese and halva, along with some whole grain bread. Everything I ordered was amazing, surprisingly the pickled vegetables acted as a palate cleanser, the cucumbers and tomatoes were refreshing, the rose tea was strong but not bitter and had a nice floral taste. It was such a nice experience switching between salty, tangy, sweet and floral and I felt like this breakfast was a culinary experience and it was nice to explore authentic Persian cuisine. I'm Korean so I enjoy having multiple side dishes available so this breakfast was up my ally, I would definitely recommend giving it a try. read more

Went for early brunch on Sunday. Not crowded. Staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered the Sobhaneh (Persian breakfast) and it was so fun to try! Came with a variety of sweet, savory, sour, and fresh accompaniments to go with the flatbread along with egg and meat of your choice. The persian tea was so aromatic and perfect to go along with the food. As an aside, they also have home made cookies and pastries that were fresh baked same morning! Will def go back to check out other items such as their interesting selection of cold drinks. read more

Cute little Persian breakfast place near north park apartments. Food we got was delicious and staff here are very attentive. We came here for brunch to sit outside and weather was amazing!

We came for Father's Day brunch to try something different. We order the Persian omelette and side dishes. Food was fresh and yummy, the side dishes added great flavor variety - veggies, pickles, sweet, savory. Both tea flavors we got were lovely. I want to come back and try some other the coffee drinks next. I thought the menu was great if you have a mixed taste crowd - something for people who like standard American fare and items for folks who like more variety can all eat here together. Staff was helpful and friendly. read more

Amazing food and customer service, loved the atmosphere too. I got the grilled chicken burrito, and my last visit I got the paratha folds. I also tried their tea and chocolate Brooklyn babka which was great to share with friends over some nice conversation. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu :) read more

I love this place. Lajavard Cafe is such a gem in San Jose, especially if you're into Persian-inspired food and unique café experiences. They offer a variety of food options, all made with care and great flavors. The house-made jams are a standout, and everything feels fresh and thoughtfully prepared. They also have an excellent selection of teas and drinks, many of them house-made, and everything I've tried has been delicious. It's the kind of menu that makes you want to come back to try more. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, perfect for slowing down and enjoying your time. read more

Wow, just wow, the food here so truly truly truly amazing, it was a cold Saturday Monday when I had woken with a very strong craving for delicious food but at the same time I wanted something NEW something that wasn't the same old same old, went scrolling around Apple Maps and found LAJEVARD, for a business that has barley opened up this month the service was actually really good! The ambiance was a very chill and yet popping American dinner with plenty of tvs and beverages AND BEER IS COMING SOON read more
