My experience at this restaurant has unfortunately declined. It used to be a good place for a Persian meal, but now the food has no flavor and is definitely overpriced. It tastes like any other Persian restaurant in San Jose now, indicating a significant drop in quality. I don't see myself returning.

My experience at this restaurant offered authentic Iranian cuisine at standard San Francisco prices. The food quality was excellent, though the portions were petite, which was perfect for someone who isn’t a big eater. The service was attentive and pleasant. However, I’d probably think twice about returning, mostly due to the parking situation and the overall feel of the area.

My experience at this restaurant was HORRIBLE. The people were super disrespectful and ruined any sense of humanity and community. They are running a major parking scam outside. I strongly advise against giving them your money. ZERO STARS!

I've been coming here since I was a kid. My experience was great, with solid Persian food served in a great environment. The staff is wonderful.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The wait time was acceptable, but only because the establishment was nearly empty, which I now understand why. The staff were incredibly rude and unwelcoming. The service felt careless, as if we were an inconvenience. The food was mediocre, especially considering the ridiculously high prices. To add insult to injury, an 18% tip was automatically added to the bill for service that was absolutely awful, even though we typically tip more than 18% but dislike being forced. I would not recommend this place.

My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. I ordered the joojeh kabob and koobideh, and unfortunately, both dishes were not as expected. Furthermore, the staff was not kind. Overall, it was a pretty bad experience, and I would never visit again.

This was a true experience of authentic Persian food. Every dish was a delight; we tried everything from typical meats to drinks only known there. What we enjoyed most was the seasoning and all for a very good price. An excellent place, I recommend it one hundred percent. ❤️

My first time at this restaurant felt like highway robbery. They immediately charged $25 cash for the pairing. The food was just okay, not really surprising. I wouldn’t visit it again.

My experience at this restaurant was incredibly disappointing. The most shocking aspect was the staff self-tipping after the mandatory 18% service charge was already applied. I questioned how this was legal and why the city allows such practices, as I believed tips were optional and not forced without consent. Upon receiving the receipt, we were not only charged the 18% service fee but also an additional tip added automatically by the staff. The city needs to investigate and fine this establishment. Beyond the service issues, the food was pretty bad. It wasn't surprising to see the place empty on a Saturday night, which should have been my first red flag. I ordered the beef kebob and hummus. While I should have been wary of the hummus, it was not good. The kebob was also not good, though the rice was nice. I would not recommend this restaurant and will never return.

As a Persian who knows the real taste of Persian foods, I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was exceptional, earning a perfect score. The service and atmosphere were also very good, both rated at 4 out of 5. 😋
