Patogh Restaurant

My wife and I were in Turlock for a short day trip and found Nami-No on Yelp. We decided to give it…read morea try, and we're so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine hospitality. The food was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The portions were incredibly generous; we couldn't even finish our meals and ended up taking more than half of the food home. What impressed us just as much as the food was the outstanding service. Our host checked on us several times throughout our meal to make sure everything was perfect, and toward the end of our visit, the restaurant manager personally stopped by to ask how we were doing. That level of care and attention made us feel truly valued as guests. If you're in Turlock and looking for great food, generous portions, and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Nami-No. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town!

You can tell it's a family-run restaurant, which gives it a welcoming feel. The restaurant itself is small, and the food did take a while, but it was worth the wait.

The prices are slightly high considering the ambience, but overall, the food and service made it a good experience.

Although I have shopped at Michael's, Big Lots, Radio Shack, and eaten at the Taco Shop many times, somehow I have never eaten at Patogh. Well today was the day to remedy that. I was tempted to order a sandwich, but I surmised that wouldn't be representative of their offerings. So I ordered the Koobideh Kabob with lamb/beef. It took a little while for our food to arrive, but it was worth it. I took my first bite of the kabob. Ooh, that's good. No wait, it's outstanding! I had a kabob left over and I made sure I took it home with me. It was almost as good the next day. There wasn't as much saffron rice on my white rice like I saw in the pictures on their website. I love saffron rice, and was hoping for more. Yes, I know saffron is expensive. The hummus was pretty good. But I was hoping it would have been a little thicker. We had ice cream for dessert. It was so good. Our server told us that they make their own ice cream. Needless to say, we did not leave hungry. I don't know why this place was empty during our entire meal. The food and service were excellent! Our server checked on us and refilled our drink glasses as we repeatedly emptied them. The restroom was clean. I loved the painting of San Francisco on the wall. I tried a lamb kabob sandwich later, but it was nowhere near as good as the Koobideh Kabob. read more

I was told about this place by an Assyrian friend of mine. The food is amazing and the service was very friendly. It really felt like having food at our Assyrian friends' house. The owner ( and the Chef) was very humble and made us feel very good with his broken English. It was a great experience for a very decent price. it cost about $52 to feed our family of 4 and I ate a lot of different stuff never had before. Who knew there were so many different shish kebobs; We have to go back many times to go through that simple yet fulfilling menu. We will be back again. read more

Excellent Persian food! Being a veggie lover, I especially liked the the roasted pepper that comes with most dishes as it helps add an extra bit of flavor. I appreciated that they had beef chunks as I prefer the texture compared to Koobideh (which is far more common in Persian restaurants). The only "negative" thing I have to say about this place is that I wish they were open past 8PM! I also liked their version of baklava as it was the right amount of sweet and buttery...I've had baklava in other places that has been either too sweet or too buttery (or both). read more

Last week, on our way to Yosemite park from San Francisco, we stopped by the Patogh restaurant for lunch- we had Ghorme Sabzi and Chicken Kabab + koubideh combo. Both dishes were great and very tasty-- also staff were very pleasant. We did the same on our way back from the park and ordered the same two dishes. Again, very delicious, home-made taste. I never eat kabab Koubideh but this was the first time I enjoyed eating it. This is a great place to have Persian food. read more

For several times I've took my guests to their restaurant, but anytime in advance before we go there I've called and requested to having good service. And every time they surprise me more, with very nice table and wonderful services. All their crew are very friendly and nice, especially sweetheart Sumy with his smile. I recommend to go to their restaurant if you looking for a special service and amazing food. I wish I can give them more than 5 stars. read more
