Komaaj Mazze - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was quite positive. The food was amazing and interesting, with a flavor profile that reminded me of Mediterranean cuisine, though it was distinct. I will definitely be back.

If I had to pick my top 10 restaurants in SF, this would absolutely make the list. It feels like home, warm, welcoming, and full of heart. What makes it special is how it highlights Persian dishes you don’t often see elsewhere. The mains were outstanding, the chicken and smoky fish were my favorites, though the lamb stew could get better. The appetizers were a bit mixed; some were good, while others could use a little more refinement. Still, the overall experience was fantastic. Service was incredible, attentive yet relaxed, and the space itself is beautiful. The design and decor, with portraits and traditional pieces, made the atmosphere feel authentic and filled with love. Truly a gem in the city.

I came to this restaurant for a birthday meal with 5 people. Someone had recommended this place to me, and it had been on my list for a while. We arrived without a reservation, and they were initially unsure where to seat us, which is why I've rated service 4 stars. However, the service and everything else afterward were excellent! We ordered the larger mazze platter, two additional dishes, three kitchen "main" dishes, and all three desserts. Sharing everything family-style was the perfect amount, perhaps even a little more. Four of us had wine experiences, and all the wine was unique and paired well with the food. The flavors were incredible! Our favorites were the platter, the beef kitchen main, and the saffron yogurt dessert. Honestly, everything was great! You can’t go wrong; it just depends on your preferences. Go and enjoy!

I absolutely love this place! I first tried it years ago when it was a tiny cafe in SF, and I was happy to see how much they have grown recently. The service is amazing, and I absolutely love their interior design, with very traditional unique pieces brought from Iran. The food is really unique, delicious, and beautifully served. They offer traditional Iranian dishes that you normally don’t find in Iranian restaurants here, and they have slightly modified them with a modern touch. The menu changes, and I loved everything that I have tried on their menu! My absolute favorite was the Sumac Beef Pan Kabob.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The vibes were great, from the decor to the food presentation and plating. The hospitality was also excellent. We enjoyed the red wine tasting flight, and the pours were generous. We also tried the neshtaa mazze sampler and the pomegranate chicken & rice, which were all delicious and a substantial amount of food for two people. I would definitely come back to try more items on the menu!

My experience at this restaurant was centered around enjoying some great N. Iran inspired dishes. We were a group of 3 and opted for the mezze platter for 4, which included great smoked fish and several good side dishes to share. However, the service did get kind of slow towards the end of the evening, and the atmosphere became a bit noisy.

My experience at this restaurant was exceptional, particularly with the Katte Kabob (Sumac beef kabob) and Naz Khatoun. The beef kabob was the most authentic I've eaten outside of Iran. I absolutely recommend this gem.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I loved everything about it. The food is on rotation and incredibly creative, offering Persian-inspired tapas that are truly unique. The staff and service were amazing, and the venue itself is great. It's definitely a go-to spot!

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The service was great, and the wine was perfect. Our server took the time to tell us about the food and even provided us with samples, which was a nice touch. The food and drink were amazing. I would highly recommend trying the marinated olives and the Shofer Areni Red!

My experience at this wine bar was really fun! I enjoyed the delicious drinks and the great shareable plates that were perfect for munching on while sipping. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the food was excellent. Overall, a highly enjoyable visit.
