    Worst restaurant in the bay area. Or no, worst restaurant ever. Real Kabob ha? Really?? This is not even Kabab. This is not even grilled food. Come on. I wish there was an option for zero stars.

    I've had all the different kabobs from here before. Everything has always been spot on tasty. I was here a few weeks ago and tried the salmon. It was perfectly cooked. The portion was right for the price. Note that this is only take out, but there are tables outside.

    Everything was delicious, fresh, flavorful, and super generous portions. The beef skewers with jalapeño were absolutely perfect, juicy and full of flavor! 🔥 But the real star? The hummus! 😍 I asked for it with mint, and wow… that combo was something else. So refreshing and unique! 🌿💛. It’s mostly a take-out place, but they do have a few outdoor tables if you want to sit and enjoy the meal right there.

    I’ve been around the world having bbq. I am from Morocco. I know good food so I don’t get impressed easily and I was blown away! Everything was soooooo good! The lamb was superb! I’ve had lamb in the most prestigious french restaurants in the Bay and it every time it was garbage cus it was not cured correctly. This is the 1st time I had properly cured lamb in like 10 years in this county. Organic from Australia,No gaminess, perfect! Anyway Eeerything looked good so I ordered so much food for me and my friend 2 people. It was enough for like 6 to 8 people! So I thought we will have leftovers for dinner, We couldn’t stop eating and finished it! I was so happy and sick full at the same time lol. Best persian bbq! The owner was there. He was very nice, turns out he is a reggae drummer too, cool guy. 10/10!! I will be back once I digest this in 20 days. I think I will fast for now.
