“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.“
“From the minute I entered the restaurant I can feel the great energy and excitement of this group. They care about the food and their customers. It is rare when you get natural hospitality and pride in the culinary craft. Congratulations to the team of Food House for putting out an excellent product. Thank you.“
“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!“
“The food is amazing!!!!!! We have tried almost everything on the menu. If you want a taste of Persian food, this place is outstanding.I am waiting in anticipation for an opportunity to order catering from Zood.Vegetarian options: The staff is extremely informed on all ingredients.Dietary restrictions: Felt very comfortable sharing dietary restrictions and getting suggestions on what is safe to eat.“
“The food was more than perfect. It was our first time trying Kabab Express, we were craving kabab and rice, and we so happy that we tried it.Everything was perfect, delicious and warm fresh bread.Customer service was great.If you are picky about the cleanliness, this is a place that you don’t need to worry about it.We will definitely come back.“
“I ate at Aria Kitchen for the fist time, while on a business trip. The bartender was very welcoming and engaging with the customers. She also made an excellent Cadillac margarita. The food was very good. I highly recommend this place. Nice atmosphere, great service, and great food.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Having visited Hafez Cafe multiple times, it's now our preferred spot for Persian brunch. The food's quantity and quality are flawless, and the customer service is outstanding. They willingly bring in house baked bread and tea upon request with no extra costs. If you're craving "Kaleh Pacheh" in Southern California, this is the place to be, and their prices are reasonable too.“
“My visit to Darbari Persian Grill offered a dive into Persian cuisine with some dishes shining and others falling short. The service was warm and welcoming, setting a positive tone. Highlights included the perfectly cooked rice and the delicious Barg Kabob, both showcasing the rich flavors of Persian cooking.On the downside, the Koobideh Kabob didn’t live up to expectations, lacking in flavor and moisture, while the chicken Kabob was overcooked, affecting its taste and texture negatively.Despite these culinary ups and downs, the attentive service provided a pleasant dining atmosphere. While improvements are needed in some areas, the exceptional dishes and friendly service make Darbari Persian Grill worth a visit for those interested in exploring Persian cuisine.“
“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 ??“
“The food was delicious and the portions were large, but the website is awful! We went online to decide what we wanted, and then call our order in, but all they have is pictures of the dishes and the name of the dish. There is no description of what the individual dishes include or what type of meat (or how it's prepared) of any of the dishes there were three different chicken, kebabs dishes, but I didn't know what the differences were. The gentleman that answered the phone and took our order was very kind and explained the differences. I think the website has been changed because we ordered from here before and I don't remember that being an issue.“
“I've come here a couple times and ordered to go. Their grilled kebabs are exceptional. I ordered the family platter which comes with grilled meat kebabs and chicken kebabs. They were tender and juicy. Absolutely delicious. However the portion was small and not really meant for a family. Tried a couple of their sweets for Eid and I loved them too. Authentic middle eastern food.“
“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.“
“The service here is super kind!! The lady working was so nice and helpful with explaining the menu and letting us know all the ingredients used to make sure there is no allergy/halal issue. She was extremely helpful and nice! The food is like persian fast food, loaded with cheese and filled up to the rim with ingredients and toppings!! They don't cheap out on their items. Definitely recommend walking in and trying some new persian food and beverages!!!“
“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.“
“The food here is delicious. Good portions, well seasoned, the nan bread is so good. The hummus is also delicious mixed with tahini. So creamy. The rice dishes are also so very good. Their hot tea is as good. The owner is very kind! Have been back three times since the first day.“
“I am incredibly grateful for the amazing experience at Hatam Restaurant. The owners are fantastic, prices are reasonable, and the food quality and service are exceptional. The management team deserves applause for creating such a welcoming atmosphere. The Kabab Soltani, Chicken Barge, Salmon, and White Fish were all unbelievably delicious. It has become our family's favorite hangout spot, and we look forward to returning every week. Truly a gem in every aspect!Thank you,Alireza Laghaee :)“
“I’ve been coming to this place for 8 years, and they serve really good Persian food at reasonable prices in comparison to other locations around the area or in Orange County.My favorite combo is #34. If it’s your first time trying coming here I would start there. You get really good grilled boneless chicken with beef koobideh (ground beef- really good) and jasmine rice which is really great together. You also have the option of getting half salad instead or all rice. In addition, it comes with naan flatbread which I think pairs really well with the food.Parking: Unfortunately the only downside to the location are the limited parking spaces available. Depending on the time of day sometimes you may have to park on the street.“
