    Cheap quality Their food is one the worst persian food you can try It doesn't have any taste or flavor

    Ghormeh Sabzi & Saffron Rice
    Mehrnaz H.

    We have visited a few times. At first, we thought it was a great choice, but service and food quality dropped on later visits. We felt the large kabob platter should include Persian rice. Adding it would greatly improve the value. Also, the tea portions were very small and priced high compared to other Persian spots where tea comes in large, refillable glasses. Overall, the value for the money is not very high.

    I found this place on Google Maps and was so excited to try it since I've been super into Persian kebabs lately. I came with my parents for lunch on a Sunday and we were seated immediately. We settled for the Mix Kebab Tehran since the portions are for 3 people. Mix Kebab Tehran - This dish came with Chicken Breast Kebab, Chicken Thigh Kebab, Beef Koobideh, and Filet Mignon Kebab. All of it was so delicious but my favorite one has to be the Beef Koobideh. 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! Great portions and great food!

    Combo Koobideh and Chicken Thigh

    Ordered the Kashk Bademjoon appetizer to share and I enjoyed it more than my main dish. It was mashed well, creamy, and wasn't too salty or anything. The lavash was warm, soft, and paired well with the overall appetizer. For my main dish, I tried the Koobideh and chicken thigh combo to share. The Koobideh was tender and had a nice chew, the chicken thigh could've been a bit more tender/juicy, the roasted veggies gave the dish a nice crunch and the rice was prepared well. But, the overall dish felt like it was lacking seasoning/flavor and missing something maybe a sauce perhaps. I ended up putting some of the eggplant mixture on top of the Koobideh and chicken which gave it a bit more flavor since it was lacking. My husband ordered the bbq combo wrap which included both Koobideh and chicken along with onions and tomatoes. Same goes for the wrap, it was a solid wrap--but felt like it was missing something. I did enjoy the crispness of the wrap though. Would I come again? Probably not, as I've had better elsewhere. Service was friendly but they could've been a bit more attentive in refilling our water without having to ask especially since we were the only ones dining in at the time. Ordering is by QR code. Plenty of tables and floral decor, but it's a pass for me.

    This was our first time coming here and we came here on a Friday night. It was moderately busy and we were sat right away. They had live music which I think might be a weekend thing but I'll need to confirm. Our server came over and welcomed us and took our drink order and let us know if we had any questions. We ordered an appetizer to start and it came out fairly quickly. The ambiance was very friendly and nice. One of ladies who I think was the owners tried to get me to dance with everyone but I'm very shy so I respectfully declined. Another table was there for a birthday and we're all dancing, it was a fun vibe! What we ordered: Appetizer: Crispy Rice (Tahdig) With Ghormeh Sabzi And Gheimeh Bread Cheese and walnuts Main: Baghali Polo Mix Saffron Rice With Koobideh Combination Chicken Kabob Beef Koobideh Dessert: Tea Faloodeh And Ice Cream This was probably the best kebab I've had and the portions are generous. I really loved the service and all the food. And would for sure be back!

    Delicious food! Big portion to share with family :) service very friendly. Nice indoor, with nice music :)

    Kashk Bademjoon ( )
    Payel K.

    Loved the kashk bademjoon. Absolutely delicious. Tried the combination koobideh. Enjoyed the chicken more than the meat. Everything else was average. I'm still reeling from paying $11.99 for a small bowl of yogurt with chopped cucumber in it. The meal cost us upwards of $110 for two and this is not a fancy place. I think the sides are really expensive for what they are - especially the yogurt and the shirazi salad (Again just chopped cucumber and tomatoes in a small bowl) Tahdig with ghormeh sabzi came swimming in oil with barely 2 small pieces of meat in it and four kidney beans. Did not eat this. Tahdig was not crunchy, it was soggy. Service is extremely sweet.

    I had a great time here with my family and friends. The Persian food was absolutely delicious--some of the best Persian food I've ever had in the USA! The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the customer service was excellent. We really enjoyed our experience, and I highly recommend giving this wonderful place a try. Thank you for the great food and hospitality.

    This place was just ok for me I think the eggplant appetizer was the highlight for me. The chicken thighs was a bit off for me. It was moist but I felt it could have been cooked more. The wrap dish needed a side tried to order fries but didn't have any that day.

    La Lavash Bread with mint and butter
    James H.

    I've been on a Middle Eastern food high for about a month now. I think it's my goal to try to find some of the best Middle Eastern, Persian, and Mediterranean eats in the South Bay area. I believe this was my second Persian place I tried on my pursuit of some of the best Persian/Middle Eastern eats. And boy am I glad I found this place. First of all this place I feel like is one of those hole in the wall places. It's kind of hidden to the side. Like a hidden gem. I also think that this place is also a really popular spot for receptions and catering. When I went on a Saturday afternoon it was nice and quiet, the host (I believe she is either the manager or owner) was super nice) I ordered koobidah and chicken combination because I wanted to try both proteins. I also ordered the lavaash bread also. I underestimated how large these portions were going to be. But besides the underestimation, the food was absolutely delicious here. I never combined lavaash with mint like that it's a whole new flavor profile I really came to appreciate with the sumac onions and grilled tomatoes on the side with the well seasoned and juicy meats was absolutely delicious. The saffron rice was a generous portion that could have probably feed two to three people. I needed to take leftovers home. But this place is worth checking out if you want to try Persian and Middle Eastern food I'm definitely coming back because it is my current favorite Middle Eastern spot. Update: One of the most hospitable restaurant managers I've met and places I ate at. Please support this place!

    Cholo chicken kebab koobideh
    Irene C.

    My mind is blown. Came here on a Saturday night at around 8 pm. The staff were all very kind. We used the QR code to look at the menu and the server came by to take our order. I absolutely loved everything we ordered here. The hummus was delicious. I couldn't stop eating it The shallot yogurt was one of a kind. The best yogurt I've ever tasted at any Persian restaurant . The beef and chicken koobideh was just amazing . Flavorful, tender and super juicy. The best I've ever tasted in my life. Even the saffron basmati rice was actually fragrant. We will definitely be back often and bring a bunch of friends with us. My favorite Persian restaurant!

    Lamb chop koobideh
    Kristina K.

    Lunch date with one of my besties after our late morning walk. I was craving Persian food, so we decided to try this place since it's conveniently located near Home Depot, which was our next stop for a quick errand. The restaurant was empty, probably because we came in for an early lunch. The host was very friendly and welcoming, although I did feel a little rushed to order since she checked in with us a few times to see if we were ready. I would totally understand if it had been busy, but we were the only customers there at the time. Since it was our first visit and the menu is accessed by QR code, we were still scrolling through everything and deciding what to get. We ended up ordering individual plates. I had the Chelo Kebab Koobideh, which is a ground beef kabob served with saffron rice, grilled tomato, and fresh onion slices. My bestie ordered the lamb chops with saffron rice and grilled peppers. While we were waiting, the host brought out complimentary flatbread, yogurt, and salad, which was such a nice surprise. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal. The food was flavorful and the portions were generous. The lamb chops were slightly charred, but my friend still enjoyed them. This place is more of a casual spot to eat, which makes it great for a relaxed lunch. I'm already planning to bring another bestie next week so she can try this spot too. They also accept credit cards, which is always convenient.

    Stopped by for a quick meal and was pleasantly surprised. Everyone working here was genuinely friendly and made us feel welcome. I ordered the kebab, which was flavorful and cooked really well. The baba ganoush was probably my favorite part of the meal - super creamy with a nice smoky flavor. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu!

Man, we lucky out here in South Bay…read more I've been wanting to try Tamra Grill for so long, especially since those in the South Bay know that this corner restaurant has just bad juju. So many restaurants have come and gone over the last few decades, I really hope Tamra Grill is here to stay. They're located in the same area as the real estate company and our favorite neighborhood classical-music-blasting Diamond gas station. There's outdoor seating and lots of indoor spots as well. Great for parties, date night, and those with dogs on their outdoor patio. The only wish I have for improvement is the longer than usual wait time for food. Yes, the food is fresh and made with local ingredients, which as we all know now is just how Palestinians do it. So the wait is worth it. But it's a lot to ask if you're hangry, just order yourself some chicken liver hummus and one bite of that delicious goodness with their pillowy-soft bread will soothe all your hanger. The eggplant musaka'a was so flavorful and just to die for with that creamy bechamel cheese right out of the oven. Their tagliatelle chicken meatballs was also our favorite. Al dente and flavorful was the theme for that night. Love that all Palestinian dishes are flavorful and seasoned with parsley or za'atar. Service is SO kind, and it really feels like a homey and family-owned spot, but with an elevated and hint of finer dining aesthetic. Every bite of Falastini cuisine just hits different knowing that their people, culture, cuisine are being attacked and a great antidote is to support all those in the diaspora with your coin. So glad Saratoga and Cupertino get to create a home for Tamra Grill. We need to jazz up the outdoor tarp seating with some olive trees and Jaffa oranges I think. Free Free Falasteen all the way.

The veggies were actually fresh, which was a plus. The hummus was on the lighter side flavor-wise, while the Baha Ghanouj had a solid roasted aftertaste. The Achilles spread was... interesting. It was very fatty with a garlic aftertaste. It just wasn't my thang. The waffle fries were cool. They were fried well and had a good crunch, but nothing special. The falafel, though, was pretty disappointing. I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch. They were very crunchy, but had a weird dish-soap aftertaste that I couldn't get past. I couldn't finish the rest. Sorry, but I'll be on the lookout for another Mediterranean spot.
