Darband Mediterranean Restaurant

It's true when they say you can taste the love put into the food. Even though this store seems unassuming, I was really surprised by the quality and taste. We ordered joojeh and koobideh kabab. They are both so good. My partner says it's the best joojeh kabab he's ever had in his life. They give a nice portion, with generous amount of butter and saffron, to make everything taste more fragrant and delicious. Nice salad and tomato for a complete meal. I'm excited to try their other options next. Thanks Darband for providing a delicious meal. Recommend 10/10. Ordered through door dash.

I can't remember the Persian name for the dish I ordered and can't find it on the yelp posted menu. Totally delicious, tender chicken thigh kebabs with saffron mixed into rice, grilled tomato and salad. Added a package of sumac to season the meat or salad. Worth the wait, it is so fresh!

Darband is by far the best Persian food in the Bay Area. The joojeh and koobideh are an absolute 10/10 in flavor, quality, and portion. The owner is also quite friendly, and will kindly make recommendations upon request. Everything is delicious, make sure to stop by!

Delicious! Excellent food, excellent service and cute location. We sat at a common garden in the back. The staff was really awesome and service was fast for a well cooked and prepared food. We had lamb chops and shawarma and ooooh they were so yummy!

Went on a Saturday and it was not busy at all. The service the was fairly quick and welcoming. The food was soooo delicious! Only downside is that there is not much seating if you are planning your meal there. Overall, I would return and try more items on the menu. P.S. they also do catering!

Chicken Kebab -- gorgeous, gorge yourself, gorge your friends, just go(rge). Always choose thigh over breast, in chicken and in love. You will never be sorry.

Rainy day and good eats! Made a quick dash from the car into the Community Dining and was welcomed by the delicious Darband! While I waited for my joojeh I was given the most fragrant, delicious warm cup of tea. This place was clean, quick and delicious!

Excellent chicken kabob. Owner was friendly and helpful and offered up a nice conversation. Would return for more

Food is really good and the service is amazing! I would definitely come here again. They even provided me tea which was so nice of them!

Aghiles was very professional. He gave a 5 star customer service. Best Tahdig around.
