    4. Tahdeeg - with 63. Gheymey -
    Mehrnaz H.

    We dined at Negeen restaurant last weekend and everything was amazing -- the food, service, and beautiful updated setting all made for a wonderful evening. I happily gave them a 5-star review based on that experience. Wanting to share that same great food for a birthday celebration at home (since we had a few seniors in our group), we decided to order takeout. I placed the order at 4 PM and received a text confirming it would be ready by 4:35 PM. Two family members went to pick it up, but a few minutes later my husband called saying they couldn't find our order -- even though we had received a confirmation! Shortly after, they said they had "found it" and it would be ready soon. Unfortunately, it took another half hour before the food was finally ready. Given that kabobs don't take that long to prepare, it was clear the order hadn't been started until they realized the mix-up. What made it worse was that no one apologized or took responsibility for the delay. My husband even mentioned that the woman he spoke with seemed dismissive -- not a good look, especially for a loyal customer. To top it off, we ordered *Gheymeh Tahdig* as an appetizer, but they gave us a combo with *Ghormeh Sabzi* instead -- a dish our family doesn't care for. It's really disappointing to see such a great restaurant drop the ball so quickly. I hope they take this feedback seriously, because we truly loved our first experience and would love to see them do better!

    Salmon Kebab with baghalli polo (rice)
    Ali V.

    I used to frequent this restaurant when I lived in the area. Having moved away, my visits are few and far between, but I enjoy each one. I love that this restaurant still brings out a complementary basket of bread and some feta cheese . This time, I had their Salmon Kebab and asked for "Bahgalli polo" (green rice with Lima beans) instead of the usual white Basmati rice. This combination is heavenly and the Salmon was cooked to perfection. I also enjoyed the Salad Shirazi as an appetizer (diced tomatoes, cucumbers and onions) and then some Faloudeh for dessert. Everything was terrific and I look forward to my next visit.

    We always order take out but I think eating there tastes better. It's our favorite spot to go to when we want Persian food. I like it better than CHELOKABABI in Sunnyvale.

    29. Ground Beef and Filet Mignon -
    Subhi K.

    I ordered ground beef and filet Mignon. I liked ground beef. I did not taste seasoning for Filet Mignon. Overall was good. They had delivery option available through DoorDash

    Ground beef and fillet minon were tender and really delicious. Lamb shank is fall of the bone tender. Not much flavor though but it does complement the rice it came with, as the rice is flavorful. Decor were nice and service is good. Our attendant came to us a couple of times to check on us and see if we need anything.

    kebabs
    Liezl M.

    Well-cooked food. I enjoyed the kebabs. The lamb was not gamy. I do not like gamy meat.

    Ground chicken and ground beef kebab plate
    Katie K.

    Solid Persian restaurant. Their portion sizes are hugeeeeee so I would recommend only getting like 1 plate for like 4 ppl. I ordered delivery and it was very well packed. The ground chicken kebab was really yummy. It was tender and well marinated (***but most importantly not too salty). I also quite liked the ground beef kebab -- it was also juicy with yummy marinade. I liked the sauce on the chicken a little more though.

    I did love their appetizer - cut pita with fresh cheese, basil and onion. Will go back for this. I did not enjoy the other food we ordered but will come back and try other food if I am in the area.

    I visit this restaurant many times and every time is a treat. Today for the first time, I had the prawns kebab, and it is perfect in every which way. And the green rise is heavenly as well.

    Kate A.

    This was my first time here but not the first time trying Persian food. It is very good! We ordered 1 plate to share plus 1 appetizer and that was fulfilling for two people! Before the meal they bring traditional herb platter that includes greens and feta with pitta. The food is delicious, the prices are moderate for the fine dining. The staff is welcoming and friendly. There is an option to order to-go. The ambiance is fancy and spacious. It is a good place to come with friends. There are restrooms, parking next to the entrance.

    Their food quality has declined. Kababs are getting smaller, the stews are below average. Their prices keep going up.

    1st time here. A friend invited me to join her, and said it was where many of her co-workers ate…read more The short version is: my meal was very sub-par, and way over-priced. The details: I normally don't eat a lot of meat, so I chose the Falafel Salad. It came with extremely little lettuce, plus a few olives (which I don't eat), onions (which I also eat sparingly), tomatoes, cucumbers, and the falafel balls. Oh! And there was feta cheese, but those were such miniscule pieces, and so few, that I wouldn't have remembered it was supposed to be part of the salad, if I didn't just pull up a photo online with their ordering system. What you see in the photo online is not what you get. The photo actually looks like a salad. Since it was called a salad, I expected there to be more lettuce, than the few pieces on the plate. I mainly was cutting up the cucumber & tomato pieces to go with the falafels. I don't even recall any dressing. There were also some pita slices with what I assumed was hummus. Whatever the dip was, it did not taste good to me at all. So I left all of the pita bread, as well, since it was dry without anything on it. Maybe what I assumed was hummus was a dressing. Hard to know, but it was not tasty. For the $27 I paid at a walk up counter, I would have expected much better food! I have bought frozen falafels at Lunardis (around $7) and made a salad for them at home, and enjoyed it very much, which is why I ordered it. I have purchased Spanakopita at the store many times, (about $5 for around 12 of them at the store) and made them at home, which is why I didn't order that. The falafel salad was not an enjoyable meal for me at Yiassoo's. I'd also seen some reviews from a few years back that said they paid around $10 or $11 for their meal. That is more in-line price-wise with what you get, based upon my meal. With most of the meals around $20 for lunch, I feel they were very over-priced. I also asked my friend if she'd like to split a Baklava. They had a pistachio one & chocolate one. My friend wanted to try the chocolate one, so I bought that. I didn't think I was too into baklava, but thought it might be nice to try at this highly rated Greek restaurant. The main flavor that came through was the honey & nuts. The chocolate was just a tiny, narrow drizzle on top. I didn't hate it, but I would never order it again. My friend took one bite, and said she mainly tasted the honey, and would take it home for her husband. It may be very good baklava, but it was not to our tastes. My friend ordered the Gyro salad. It had a large pile of shaved meat, and she seemed to enjoy it. She ordered it To-Go, as she knew she'd be taking some of it home. She seemed to have more lettuce under her pile of meat than my meal got. Maybe because it was in a To-Go box, which might be larger than the plate? Or maybe the person making my salad just wasn't paying attention to how to make a decent meal. I was hoping I was trying a restaurant that I could go back to for something different. Based upon my experience, I would not go back, if I had a choice. I gave it 3 stars, because maybe other dishes, or people looking to just eat meat or falafel balls and not much else would enjoy it. I only have the 1 meal to review, but it does not encourage me to try it again. Overpriced & not a fulfilling meal.

I got my usual Beef Koobideh (it was okay, a little bland compared to the persian places I have tried in Los Angeles, NJ, FL, etc...). The beef koobideh was larger than most other places and they gave a lot of rice too (which I like). My son got the Chicken Koobideh, he also thought it was okay... he was indifferent. I tasted a bite of it, it was also less flavorful than I would usually expect. My wife got the Jewel Polo with Steamed Chicken. She was the one with a not happy review, she was telling me that it was unlike any place she had ever tried and was like "All they did was lightly boil the chicken and put it in the tray". I didn't try it because that is not my dish, I only stick with Beef Koobideh anywhere I go. The people working here seemed very friendly, the customers were also very friendly since they seemed to know the workers and helped me flag down the main guy for a question. My review isn't to discourage anyone from this place. It just didn't hit the spot for my wife so I won't be able to give it a second try. As a south asian person, we like our food with lots of flavor and lots of spices... so you might find this place perfect for your palate. My wife kinda forced my hand on the topic, I would not beat them up as harshly (I ate all of my Beef koobideh and enjoyed it, but even left to my own opinion... I'd go back to my usual place for a familiar flavor). I only took one star off because of the feedback from my wife.

I guess these guys are too greedy for decency. Despite the good food, I recommend avoiding unless you are ok waiting over an hour.

That was the problem with the falafel wrap, too: the menu promised hummus, cabbage & tomatoes salad, and pickled turnips, but those ingredients weren't anywhere to be seen. There was some lettuce instead, but lettuce is a poor substitute as it just becomes immediately soggy and adds no flavor. If you've ever had falafel in Israel, you will be disappointed by the falafel here, unfortunately. (Israeli falafel shops each make at least a dozen toppings from family recipes, so you put as many veggies and sauces in as you can to create a flavor party in your mouth.)
