horrible service. manager has no care to even offer help when needed. I will never bring my family here

Not impressing at all! Rice tasted funny; wasn’t correctly cooked and the yellow rice on the top didn’t seem to be saffron rice (just colored rice). Lamb koobideh was not tasty; you could tell that it was very high on fat content and taste of onion was very pronounced. Lamb barg was better but didn’t look like a typical barg. Overall, very disappointed; Service: 4/5. Food: 2/5. Price: 3/5. For the service and food quality, price was also on the high end.

My go to Iranian restaurant. The food is great and the service is awesome. I usually order the family style bbq plate that’s comes with rice, chicken and ground beef or lamb. Hummus and the yogurt drink are house recipe and they are amazing.

food was delicious and served very quick and the waitress was very kind and helpful . Very nice seating area and is very a calming place

Delicious Persian plates.We enjoyed the food very much.

The food was good but the portions had too much rice (vegetable plate) and not enough falafel (4 very small pieces). Also the baklava was very small which is disappointing even though it was tasty. But the worst part was the menu pricing which has most plates as 12.99 but they charge 15 bucks "if you don't pay with cash". Who has cash? Also if that's the case why does it not say so on the menu? Very deceptive. I don't usually dislike a restaurant but this is unnaceptable.

Went to try Persian fine dining for dinner and I was not disappointed. Hidden gem in San Diego. They have the best Hummus that I have tried in the entire state. The bread that goes with it is also equally amazing and will have you wanting for more. Lamb shish kebab was also great. The staff are friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommended and I am definitely coming back soon.

Some of the best Persian food in San Diego. Not only kebabs, but wonderful rice dishes and stews. Make sure to try the tea, which is sourced directly by the owner - he'll tell you the story!!

Great food with a warm friendly atmosphere. The food is cooked perfect with authentic persian flavor. Make sure to save room for desert and don't forget the tea! We will definitely be back and you should check it out too!

Had some really delicious Persian food here. The authenticity of the food (from my point of view) was so much that I picked a random menu item and when we it arrived, I had no idea how to go about eating it. The lady who brought the food was kind enough to explain how to prepare it. The food was very good though. I'm definitely looking forward to eating here again.
