Very good food, small establishment but serves very tasty food. Service was friendly and efficient. Great quick stop for a halal Persian meal.

Worst Kobideh kabab experience ever! I called them up and placed a to-go-order for their Kobideh meal. I asked them for no rice but everything else accompanying the meal. I picked up the order from their shop without checking. When I got home and opened the it up I was traumatized with what I saw (looked exactly as what you see in the picture). It was just two skewers of kobideh in a plastic container. No where in the world kobided is served this way. They always come with a piece of bread, grilled tomato, piece of onion, and some sumac.Not recommending this place nor going back to it. Not worth the money. I was charged about $17 for this masterpiece!

Quick service and good quality of food.Also friendly staff.I ordered on line and within 15 minutes the food was ready.The only issue is shortage of parking spaces .

Ordered chicken kubideh and hummus. Both were delicious and fresh.

Good experience, it's small restaurant with medium quality of Persian food. It's a bit bummer no one speaks farsi, for sure he wasn't from Isfahan nor Iran. Good portion of food and prices are fine. Shirazi salad was the best. Restaurant is clean but for sure need a better design. Friendly and fast service.

The FoodWhile searching for what to eat, my friend and I decided we wanted the Mediterranean. We discovered Isfahan Kabob & Beryani. Based on the review and picture it seems pretty good, so we decided to give it a try. We ended up deciding to order the same thing, Lamb Kabob Combo, with 1 Fillet & 1 Kubideh and Persian Tea. So here are some notes:- The Persian Tea was good- The Kubideh of the combo was good- But the Lamb itself was very tough and no lamb taste- The quality of the meat wasn't that good- The flavor was also a bit lacking, for the meat and riceThe MiscellaneousThe restaurant is along a main road. It does have parking in front, but other shops also share the spaces. The inside is small with a few tables and an open kitchen. Their menu has a variety of items, from appetizers to wraps to kabobs to entrees and more. But one thing to note is that they did not update their menu prices. They'll charge you more without informing you. Their prices listed above the kitchen are different also, which make it confusing. They don't have the quality as some other places, and they are more expensive. I would recommend checking out other Mediterranean places instead.

Located in San Jose CA. This small establishment offers great meals for the ones that require a grab and go option. Prices are fair, and food taste amazing.They have a limited menu selection but it shouldn't deter you from stopping in while giving them a try. Overall a good find and will be coming back for more tasty options.

Excellent service going above and beyond to accommodate a very last minute change which I'm sure was an inconvenience. Didn't even blink and smiles were ear to ear throughout interaction. I've ordered all varieties of Kabobs both beef and chicken. It's one of the best in San Jose when it comes to quality and tenderness. You can't miss if you order any of the Kabobs on the menu. Kashk-e-bademjoon (eggplant appetizer) taste and presentation has been little different for me lately and may disappoint if you're expecting the traditional taste. Overall been going for 10 years and never been disappointed with the main course and personnel.

We did not enjoy the meal. Persian food should be made by someone that knows Persian taste! Similar to Italian or Japanese foods!The rice was not cooked well and the chicken and the beef kabab were overcooked!Also the biryani was awful.Will never try here again.
