    Chicken thigh and Kashk badejeman
    Tammy Y.

    Delicious Persian food. A little pricey but I think the food quality is worth it and the portions are generous so my family of 4 only usually orders 3 dishes and has leftovers. Our favorites are the Kashk badejeman (grilled pureed eggplant), the chicken kebabs, and the ground beef Kebab. If you get the plates with rice, the rice is delicious as it comes with saffron rice and is seasoned very well (not sure if they add butter or what but its so yummy). They give a generous serving of complimentary lavash (thin flat bread) that comes with butter that is perfect to eat everything with.

    dry filet
    Brandon J.

    Friendly but poor service. Waited about 8 minutes before anyone seated me then waited while the only staff helped b the person behind me. About 15 minutes before I was brought a menu and over 20 water was brought. I walked outside to retrieve my own water bottle. food was meh. I remember coming here over 5 years ago and the food was great. filet was tender but dry and over cooked, but maybe that's their new recipe. the food looks good but there taste is meh. I sadly would not recommend when there are so many other options in the area.

    Kabob plate
    Arian S.

    Fool me once , shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. The waiting time for the food is incredible long, for standard dishes - koobideh and white rice.. you're looking at 30 mins-1 hour minimum no matter how empty the restaurant is. Staff literally ignores you... no matter if you make eye contact, or flag them down. We sat down a party of 3 at a table or 4 and the host literally removed my place mat , plate, and utensils from right in front of me... instead of grabbing the setup from the empty seat.. wtf? Appetizer of yogurt took 30 mins to be handed to us. Ridiculous. Sticking with taste of Persia, or Negeen.

    I am new to the area and stumbled on this gem. I feel like they opened their home kitchen to the public! Excellent Food! Highly Recommended.

    Highly Recommended! If you want to experience a home cooked excellent meal? Eat here! Quality restaurant. Very Relaxing Atmosphere. Fast Service!

    Koobideh with albaloo polo; shish kabob; Ash Reshte
    Leyla H.

    We had a very juicy koobideh here. The shish kabob was also delicious but smaller than expected. Ash reshteh was more like a bean soup and less like what you'd expect from ash. The service was just a bit slow for the three or four tables they were serving then. We enjoyed the overall ambiance and liked the friendly staff. We will certainly go back.

I came into the restaurant asking how long my order would take, she said 10 minutes. Although there were chairs and tables under an eave, I chose to go to the car. Faviola brought the food to me and it was sprinkling outside! She even came back and gave us extra utensils when she realized there were two of us. All the while smiling:) I ordered via yelp because we were starving and easily this restaurant has their menu in organized and visually appealing. Their descriptions and the variety of selections and customizations on point. My husband said he wasn't hungry but then saw the food and we scarfed it all down. He gave it 8.5 and said would come back. I ordered pickled vegetables which I thought was going to be onions but I think it's actually cabbage. Not my preference so I will take that home to the parents. Did order yogurt dip- husband was a fan. The chicken thigh and filet were so tender. I had put a note on the order for medium rare. I wouldn't call that medium rare but it was tender nonetheless. I'm sad I had to pay extra for a half of a Roma tomato, salad and lavash- the lavash I saw it in the add-ons menu so I assumed it wasn't in there. Ended up with so much lavash. No need to buy extra. The entire thing came up to $63-ish. The food was 4/5 but service was 5/5! I know this economy has everyone struggling. This was probably the most I have spent on Mediterranean food. I would have expected $45-$50. We just came back from Turkey so this would have costed us $15-$20 USD. Portions for rice and meat were good though! All in all- would come back!

We decided to give this place a try and man we were not disappointed at all. It is located in a rather small business complex with other restaurants around. Parking can be a little tight during peak hours, but it is so worth it. It is a walk-up to order type of place where they bring your food out to you. The menu is clear to see, however they have a ton of options. One of the questions we had was what was the difference between a gyro and a souvlaki. The best way to think about it is, a gyro has shaved meat, while a souvlaki has skewered chunked meat. We ordered the dolmades, chicken gyro combo (comes with fries), and a beef souvlaki. The beef souvlaki was seasoned well and the red onions, French fries and other ingredients provides the perfect well-balanced flavor. The chicken gyro was also a well seasoned and balanced gyro in soft pita bread. The highlight for us,however, was the dolmades. If you think you have good ones throughout San Jose, I can guarantee, you will not see this one coming. It came out warm, slightly acidic, but also well balanced. It has meat in it,which I think might be veal or beef, I scarfed it down so fast I completely forgot to ask what type of meat they use. I cannot wait to go back and visit again. Those dolmades are calling me!
