Very authentic Persian food! Loved the appetizers-excellent eggplant, fig leaves, soup, salad. Much better than other Persian restaurants in the area... Falafel was OK. Main courses were also excellent - kubideh, chicken, fish skewers come with grilled tomato and plenty of rice! cooked stew of greens, beans, and meat was on the sour side, if you like it, and the chicken thighs were excellent, cooked in a perfect sauce with rice and berries. There was a lot of food, which we ate the next day, and we loved it. A great experience, we love Nageen! read more

Just avoid going there it's not worth your time or money. We had to wait 30 minutes just to get the menu, then another 35 minutes to place our order. You constantly have to look around and try to find a waiter to take your order. There was absolutely no organization or proper service. I'm extremely disappointed. We only ordered kabobs and one tea, yet we were charged $60, which is way overpriced for what we received. Overall, it was a very frustrating experience, and I definitely would not recommend this place. read more

Can be hit or miss depending on what you order, however I will say the service is good. We all got kebabs and I'll give my rating for each: chicken - dry, simple "wagyu" beef - tastes like butter, fatty, not great lamb - gamey, better that previous koobideh - soft, juicy, delicious. the best choice. Stay away from the other skewers they just don't hit the same as the koobideh. The rice was good and you get a tomato. Overall pretty good spot, maybe go when they have the belly dancers that's always fun. Aside from that they have no persian beers, wines, etc. Doesn't really feel cultural without being able to try something new. A bit expensive which is why I'm rating 3/5, if it was 25% cheaper it would get a 4/5. read more

Probably a little closer to 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up because I think my expectations were a little too high going into it. I'd had this spot bookmarked for years before finally coming in, so the excitement was real. Came in with a friend who comes here all the time with her family, they have a huge menu so it was very helpful to have someone who knew what they were doing. Though they do have descriptions of everything on the menu, names are Persian so I didn't know what most items were. Three of us ordered a bunch of stuff to share. We started with Mast-e-Moosir (yogurt dip) and Mirza Ghasemi (eggplant and egg dish) for apps. We also got the Tahdeeg (crispy rice with stew) and for mains we got Baghali Polo with lamb shank and Chicken with Bones and Ground Beef skewers. While I've had crispy rice that I've really liked in the past, I wasn't a fan of the Tahdeeg, seemed like it could've been cooked a bit more and then cripsed up for a better texture. I'm not huge on eggplant so the Mirza Ghasemi wasn't my favorite, but it was still okay and was a hit among others. Of the chicken and beef skewers, the beef was the winner, and of all the meats, the lamb shank was the winner. read more

The ground beef kabob was the most flavorless experience I've ever had. The best part of the dish was the grilled whole tomato. Not sure if this was just bad luck, but currently speaking, I'd rather eat a random packaged lunch from my local middle school than order from here ever again. read more

Negeen Restaurant - Only took a photo to provide authentication that I actually ate their food - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Campbell, California

Everything about this restaurant is better than good. Food, environment even ambiance and service. I think if they were in the east bay they would have done much better specially in competition with some well known Persian restaurants in Walnut Creek, which charges more and gives far less food and free refills on tea or soda . It is quite unfair to rate them anything less than 5 comparing with other Persian Restaurants in the Bay Area. read more

Negeen Restaurant - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Campbell, California

It was my first time trying Persian food and I will definitely be back. I came to dinner with a friend who gave some recommendations and I'm glad she did. Everything we ordered was great. As soon as we sat down they brought lavash bread with feta, basil leaves, pinions and radishes - all the flavors really complimented each other. For an appetizer we had the falafel which were good and came with a salad. I tried the filet mignon kabob with rice and salad, it was so fresh and flavorful. We finished with dessert and tea. It was quiet and slow the night we went which was nice and allowed us to talk. They had Persian jazz in the background. The waitress was so nice and attentive without being overbearing. I will definitely return! read more

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! read more

Food lacked flavor. Ordered the chicken kebab and grilled onions and grilled tomatoes. Absolutely no taste whatsoever and was completely bland which was disappointing because I was excited about what they were serving. Updated: Got food poisoning from this and was throwing up all day. read more

This restaurant was recommended by my Persian friend and she was absolutely right! The food here is excellent: fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. I love that Negeen is tucked away in a quieter part of Campbell, with its own parking lot (a big plus!). As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a very courteous hostess, and the restaurant itself feels clean, spacious, and welcoming. I had the chicken koobideh and beef koobideh, both were super delicious, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. From what I hear, they even have live dance performances on the weekends, which sounds like so much fun. We'll definitely be back! read more

I love Negeen it's one of my favorites we go to Negeen as a family. The food is amazing.

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. read more

Chelo kabob with two types of koobideh chicken and beef. Beef gets 4 stars and chicken only 2. Rice gets 4, properly cooked and with fast lunch service. Good atmosphere with clean nice decor. Moderately priced. Will visit again. read more

Without a doubt, truly authentic Persian cuisine and experience. Was a little disorienting when we arrived as place was half empty and they were slightly reluctant to seat us without a reservation. But they found a spot for us next to a large table of older Persian ladies. It seems that in fact more/less all the tables were actually spoken for as it quickly filled up with large groups. Nearly everyone seemed to know each other and the crowd was very friendly and festive. I should also mention there is no sign on the facade as this seems to be a bit of IYKYK. Anyway, food was delicious - especially the eggplant appetizer (Kashk-e-Bademjan) and the Dolmeh. Kebobs were not outstanding, but good. OMG the Künefe dessert was crazy good, try it! We happened to be there on a Saturday night and midway through dinner the belly dancing began, which was a fun part of the experience - would come back. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Negeen Restaurant. The food was incredibly flavorful, tasting like it was made with care and attention to detail. Every dish we tried was delicious and packed with authentic flavors. The staff was warm, friendly, and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It's always a pleasure to find a place that combines great food with genuine hospitality. I would happily recommend Negeen to anyone looking for a memorable Persian dining experience in San Jose. read more

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.

The food was sub par. The Gormeh sabzi was was old and lacked authenticity and flavor. The meat was not cooked or flavored properly. the Ash tasted very different than any I ever had. The hummus was the worst I ever had. additionally, our waitress had a bad attitud. read more

The kabobs are very good, but on the pricier side compared to other Persian places. The puréed eggplant is also good. If you get it to go make sure you call it in because it takes a long time to be ready. The chicken thigh kabob is $23 on GrubHub when other places only $9. It is very tasty and yummy Persian food. Nice and fancy restaurant. Not that much parking. read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

My favorite dishes are; The Aush (soup), Salmon Kabob, The Soltani, cucumber yogurt and must have, Tadig (crispy rice) with half/half stews on top... Also need a side of salad Shirazi! Great Food ; ) read more

I would give this place a 3.4 stars. I dont know why people complained about the interior, I found it pretty charming, very persian style. Service was also very friendly and fast, granted it was just us there. The dolmeh were good, I am used to the greek version so I was just surprised to get them warm and a tad sweet. But I liked them! And the tomatoes were also great. For the main we got the Negeen Special that came with a huge amount of rice, ground beef, chicken and filet mignon kabobs. My favorite was actually the chicken as it had the most flavor, a tad disappointed in the filet mignon, it was lacking any kind of spice. read more

I had never heard of this restaurant until driving by recently, and then suddenly heard 2 reviews so had to try. Came in casually at an off hour, into this strip mall establishment that doesn't seem like it once you walk in. A lot of negative comments here about the decor, which was completely fine - nice even! Hostess wasn't able to communicate with us, but we did end up getting served by helpful staff who gave us tips on eating the complimentary appetizer and vegetarian recommendations. Get the Kashk-e-Bademjan eggplant appetizer, bottom line. It is the best eggplant dish I've maybe EVER had. So much flavor with a little crunch from walnuts and fried onions. The veggie kabobs were simple but delicious. The rice was fluffy and buttery. I would have loved a fresh piece of pita with this to make the meal complete. Coming back to try the other recommended eggplant dish. read more

Love our waitress Ferri. She made us super satisfied and welcoming. During our stay she was the one who accommodating us professionally. Her hospitality was phenomenal. Food is enough for 2 , and I loved the taste of the beef koobideh.Joojeh skewer was tender thigh which easy for me to chew and The barg kabob was great in size and taste. The only one star that has taken off because the design of the restaurant can be better. read more

Delicious Persian food in Campbell! I've been here several times and it never disappoints. The Koobideh and the Khoresh Badejman, along with the fluffy basmati rice are my favorites. I love to wrap the kabob meat in the Lavash bread with the raw onions and the Khoresh Badejman, which is an eggplant dip. My only critique was that the lavash bread was a bit dry, prob was cut some time ago. Service is always impeccable and they even have belly dancers on certain nights. It's a fun place to dine with a large group. Highly recommend! read more
