Alborz - Reviews

I was initially hesitant due to some low star reviews, but I'm so glad I came and tried the food! This is, by far, the best Persian restaurant in SF. I ordered the Ghorme Sabzi, which came with a huge lamb shank, and the Koobideh and Joojeh portions were also incredibly generous and of amazing quality!

Having lived in the USA for over 14 years, I can confidently say that I've never had Koobide and Barg as delicious as here, not even in Iran. The amount of food for the price is also amazing. Furthermore, the staff are very generous. The only issue is the location, which makes finding parking difficult.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! We ordered the koobideh, and it was truly the best we've had. The quality of the food was exceptional, and the staff were friendly. The atmosphere was also a highlight, rated a perfect 5, and it was quiet, making conversation easy.

This place is so under-rated! The staff were great and the food was delicious. I highly suggest the “tah dig with gheyme” and also the “koobideh”. I also tried the “koo koo sabzi”, “ghormeh”, and “joojeh kabab”, but they could be better.

I'm not sure why this place has less than 4 stars. It’s a solid spot for Persian cuisine and reasonably priced for San Francisco. I ordered the beef koobideh, and it came out in less than 10 minutes, though I was the only customer. They even bring out bread and butter, plus onions and sabzi, which many places skimp on. All in all, a good experience, and I’ll come back when I’m in town.

My experience at this restaurant was marred by a fraudulent change to my tip on the receipt. They apparently thought I wouldn't notice, but I took a picture of my receipt as proof. When I called to address the issue, they feigned ignorance and refused to issue a refund.

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the Mirza Ghasemi was tasty, the overall food quality did not justify the prices. Specifically, the Chicken Kabob was bland. Based on my experience with the kabobs, I believe the place is doing a terrible job with them. The atmosphere was rated a 3, and service a 4, with no wait time for lunch.

This place used to be better, but I think it’s seen better days. The food is decent but not great, and it’s pretty pricey for what it is. It’s just a little shabby these days. I think the Berkeley location is nicer.

My dining experience was the worst ever. The food was pre-cooked and reheated. The washroom lacked warm water and had a terrible urine smell, making it unbearable to stay for more than 30 seconds. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The staff was pleasant, but the atmosphere was uncomfortably cold, even colder than outside. When it came to the food, the salmon kebab was disappointing as it was old and undercooked. However, the koobideh was excellent and "on point. " Overall, this was a one-time visit for me.
