    Persian breakfast

    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.

    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

    The owner, Mina, is so nice. The food fresh, great flavor and generous portions. The restaurant has great decor. Can't wait to go back and try breakfast.

    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.

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

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

    Wow I will definitely be coming here more often! I ordered a chicken kabob tray, basmati rice tray,…read moreand vegetable kabob tray for my family and we all loved it. The flavor and juiciness of the chicken was amazing. My only regret was not ordering two trays of chicken. What a hidden gem!

    First of all Fabiola... what a wonderful experience you gave me as a first timer! Thank you for the…read moretop notch service. I came into the restaurant asking how long my order would take, she said 10 minutes. Although there were chairs and tables under an eave, I chose to go to the car. Faviola brought the food to me and it was sprinkling outside! She even came back and gave us extra utensils when she realized there were two of us. All the while smiling:) I ordered via yelp because we were starving and easily this restaurant has their menu in organized and visually appealing. Their descriptions and the variety of selections and customizations on point. My husband said he wasn't hungry but then saw the food and we scarfed it all down. He gave it 8.5 and said would come back. I ordered pickled vegetables which I thought was going to be onions but I think it's actually cabbage. Not my preference so I will take that home to the parents. Did order yogurt dip- husband was a fan. The chicken thigh and filet were so tender. I had put a note on the order for medium rare. I wouldn't call that medium rare but it was tender nonetheless. I'm sad I had to pay extra for a half of a Roma tomato, salad and lavash- the lavash I saw it in the add-ons menu so I assumed it wasn't in there. Ended up with so much lavash. No need to buy extra. The entire thing came up to $63-ish. The food was 4/5 but service was 5/5! I know this economy has everyone struggling. This was probably the most I have spent on Mediterranean food. I would have expected $45-$50. We just came back from Turkey so this would have costed us $15-$20 USD. Portions for rice and meat were good though! All in all- would come back!

Whether you're planning a family gathering, wedding, corporate event, or just a casual get-together, Mazzeh Grill delivers flavor, quality, and professionalism every time. Their combo platters, kabobs, rated tomato, yogurt dipping, cucumber/tomato salad, and falafel are crowd-pleasers, and the hummus, rice, and fresh salads are always a hit. Everything is prepared fresh, seasoned perfectly, and served with generous portions. You can truly taste the care that goes into every dish. The staff is friendly, responsive, and easy to work with for catering orders. They are AMAZING! If you're looking for a reliable and flavorful Halal catering option in the Bay Area, Mazzeh Grill should be at the top of your list. Perfect food, perfect service, wonderful small woman own business, I highly recommended!

    Never had Persian food before but this place just sets my expectations high for other Persian…read morerestaurants I try in the future!!!! Ordered the old skool (koobideh) mazzeh plate which comes with the beef/lamb skewer (choice of 1 or 2 skewers), rice and roasted tomato!!! The meat was super tender and flavorful and honestly 1 skewer is a good amount of food! The rice is also very well seasoned; not just your typical plain rice. What really blew my mind was the yogurt white sauce they offered. Holy moly it's so good. It's so refreshing to eat with the kabob and I love that they have bits of cucumber in it; way better than any yogurt sauce I've every had! The chipotle tahini was also super great if you love spice!

Lamb chao-mian the noodles were good with tomato sauce, onions and peppers, wood ear mushrooms. The lamb was little tough and dry and needed more quantity of lamb. We felt the same way for the grilled lamb kebab. They were dry and chewy but the spice powder was good. Everyone clearly raves about big plate chicken, mutton soup and lamb ribs will have to come back to try these.
