    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.

    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.

    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.

    kebabs

    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.

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

    My husband and I decided to walk here 7pm on a Friday and I am so glad we did!…read more The service was wonderful and the food was 10/10. You can definitely split plates here as the portions are big. We ordered the falafels, baba ganoush, chicken souvlaki plate and the gyro plate. We will be adding this one to our rotation!

    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.

Well I didn't get the side that came with my order. So the chicken shawarma Arabic style wrap. Well.. chicken flavor wasn't too bad to be fair, but the pickles seemed old, and the wrap in general looked a bit sad and lacked some more flavors. Lastly, I think this place is about 20% over priced. Let's put it this way, if you are hungry, it will do the trick.. it's not the worst, but definitely far from the best.

    Best Mediterranean food I have had!!…read more And the staff was incredible!! D was the best host ever!!

    Social media strikes again…read more.. I came across a reel on IG featuring Iraklis. The food looked intriguing and scrumptious...in other words FIRE! I would not have known about this place if it wasn't for the reel. I'm also not familiar with Syrian and Lebanese cuisine. Thought I'd give it a shot. Not the biggest of venues, it a bit small on the inside, they have few benches and tables outside. Parking wasn't an issue, plenty of spaces in the parking lot. The staff was very helpful and informative. This is a fast casual spot with table service. They do bring the food to you, but you can help yourself to everything else afterwards, is: water, sauces, napkins etc. #SyrianEats: WRAP: ~ SHAWARMA: Damascus style CHICKEN - 5/5 Absolutely DELISH!! Love the garlic spread that came on the side. The wrap was already tasty enough, but somehow it was even tastier with the Garlic spread. Even the fries that came with it were spectacular! That drizzle pomegranate molasses... just DELISH!! This was one of the best wraps I had Stateside. Actually the best! PLATE: ~ MANSAF - 5/5 The Lamb shank was excellent as well! Tender fall of the bone with flavor galore, and the butter sauce was amazing as well...delish! The rice that came with the Lamb shank was OK. It was probably good, but the flavor profile didn't stand up to the rest of the food. I thought it could use more flavor, but that just me nitpicking... 4.5 ***** rounded up to 5***** for me This food here is amazing. I'll be back...

It was juicy and fatty, perfect pairing with the acidity of the tomato and onions. The Chicken Breast kebab was also surprisingly juicy considering the leanness of the meat. This dish also came with a Persian yogurt sauce which my mom really loved. It helped cut through the fat with some acidity. Overall, I would definitely come here again!
