“The place was really nice inside and the area “outside” had this ceiling warmers that make the area cozy and nice. The service was fast, friendly, welcoming and courteous. What I like the most is that they don’t add the typical suggested tip percentage to the bill, for a place this nice and a service this good I’m actually surprised.The food was really good, tender beef, chicken and the salmon as well; Big proportions and tasty crunchy panini bread.We didn’t get to go inside or use the bathrooms but the next time we’ll do just out of curiosity lol. They serve wine, beers and many variety of alcoholic drinks, but we didn’t try any tho. The hot chocolate, I have to say tho, was not quite hot but warm enough, although for me, a hot chocolate has to definitely be HOT ?, by that is not any reason to not give this place 5 well deserved stars;, especially because of the service, really good service.Recommended ??“
“Been coming here for many years for both fine in and takeout at the current and previous location. Consistent meal quality over the years. Friendly service. My only complaint is sometimes there's only one small grilled tomato when is small, one would expect two.“
“Koobikland has the BEST koobideh not only in OC but the entire California! Not only the food was beyond delicious, but the ambience and the service was above and beyond. We had great Sunday family gathering at Koobikland. I highly recommend this restaurant.“
“Literally, my favorite place to eat. I'm sad that I only recently discovered this gem of a restaurant. Bobby and Soheila are fantastic people. I'd recommend the hummus, best ever. Also, ask about their stews. Their fesenjān will change your life. No hyperbole here, try it.“
“SOOOO GOOD! We decided to try this place on our way from LA back home to San Diego. Let me start by saying that we ate a TON of Persian food in glendale/LA and none of their Koobideh was as good as this place. Even my husband who often says “I can make this better at home,” admitted this as one of the best Koobideh in Southern California.“
“Our dinner was delicious, as usual. The service was exceptional. Our waiter, Makeo, was amazing! He was friendly and attentive and made our night more pleasant. We also enjoyed the singer and belly dancer. They were both excellent performers. My 7 year old son didn't even need his tablet. My only regret tonight is not ordering the borani because we usually get it and it's soooo good. We had the koobedeh plates and soltani plate. Can't wait to go back!“
“We love this place! Delicious food. High quality ingredients. Fantastic service. In my opinion they have best Persian food in all OC. And yes, I understand that's a bold statement given how many Persian restaurants we're have in OC.“
“Darya Persian Restaurant in Orange County offers a dining experience that is generally commendable, catering to those who appreciate authentic Persian cuisine. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Barg and Chicken Kabob, both of which were cooked to perfection, offering a symphony of flavors that delighted the palate. However, it's worth noting that the Koobideh Kabob fell short of expectations. Traditionally known for its tenderness and juiciness, the Koobideh served during my visit was unfortunately not up to the mark in these aspects, and its taste diverged from the traditional flavor profile one would anticipate. Despite this, the overall experience at Darya Persian Restaurant was positive, making it a worthy destination for enthusiasts of Persian cuisine in Orange County.“
“A beautiful and unique restaurant. Extremely clean and looked brand new. Attentive and polite staff. My husband enjoyed very much his dish Polo koobideh with rice. My order polo koobideh wrap was just okay (a bit much fattening dressing) but I am not an expert in Persian cuisine. The unusual draw back to our first time here was the overwhelming fume from the Simple Green cleaning solution. We drove off for few blocks but still FELT the smell was with us. I wish an alternative cleaning liquid will be used.“
“I’ve come here 4-5 times and have ordered different dishes and appetizers and it’s all always been spot on amazing! Good flavors, great service, owner and his wife are extremely kind and welcoming. I’d give this place 20 stars if I could. MUST TRY!“
