Se7enbuds Restaurant

Se7enBuds is growing on me too fastBeen going there once a week and Every item I tried was better than the other.-Shorwa, fantastic. Soup part could be less oily-whole fried chicken is actually a Cornish Hen not a chicken but also amazing-Qabeli was simple yet fantastic - Lamb Karahi is a serious treat and sooooo much better than most Indian Karahis- chicken soup, fantaboulas Tried many of the sides and they are great but little pricey, $7.5 for a side of pickles or yogurt is too much, I believe if they reduce the sides they will be perfect.Service is fast, but they need to remove empty dishes. They leave all the dishes on the table till the customer leaves which makes tables too crowded and not looking good. My advice, remove plates and any thing immediately as they become empty.Inside is simple and clean.Complimentary green and black tea at self-service station close to the kitchen.

Delicious Afghani food! Definitely a shareable meal that can be enjoyed with family and friends. The Qabeli Palaw, lamb cooked with special seasoned rice, with raisins and chopped carrots, was wonderful! The lamb was very tender! The Mantu is another Afghani dish to go for. Steamed dumplings stuffed with ground beef, onions, and spices served with yogurt sauce. Very authentic! The meal was filling we didn't have room for dessert. Highly recommend Se7enbuds for an authentic Afghani food! Our server was very nice, engaging, and attentive.

Wow! This place is a find! This restaurant serves Afghan food, which is not a cuisine you normally get to try. We had two dishes: Qabeli Palaw and Muntu. The Qabeli Palaw is a huge piece of lamb on a bone (incredibly tender lamb) covered with seasoned rice, raisins and carrots. The lamb alone was amazing: fall of the bone tender, the type you find at truly top restaurants. It was delicious! The portion size was huge: it would have been enough to satisfy my wife and I for dinner. Our second dish, Muntu, was steamed dumplings stuffed with ground beef, onions and spices with a special yogurt sauce. This dish, too, had a incredible robust flavor. Again, it was a large portion. A side of freshly baked Afghan bread was served with both dishes along with a spicy green sauce in a separate small bowl. The two dishes were so big we took leftovers home and had them for breakfast the following day. There is complimentary tea available to have with your meal, which we enjoyed. The ambiance of this very clean, well lit restaurant is pleasant and relaxed. The owner, who served us, was wonderfully friendly. And lastly, the cost of the food was really, really reasonable: $20 for Qabeli Palaw and $19 for the Muntu. I don't live in San Francisco but if I did I would be going back on a regular basis.

Afghan cuisine neighborhood restaurant (very similar to Persian cuisine) that is clean with good service and affordable prices.Pretty big menu with many selection of kebabs, rice dishes and other standard Afghan / Persian food.I've had the combo of kobideh kabob $21.00 (1 skewer beef & 1 skewer chicken) with rice, tomato and bread butter.Also I got an order of fries to go $3.50As a matter of taste, it was good but also kinda plain in term of spices and seasonings.But taking into consideration, overall it was still a good value.Just don't set your expectation too high.

I found this restaurant on Yelp's hot new restaurants feed! It's a great location along the Polk St bike lane at Polk and California--I picked up takeout lunch as I was biking there and there's a beautiful bike lane right outside the restaurant.I ordered the mantu--it was well-seasoned and filling, even though it was deceptively a small portion at first! I loved the bread it came with and also the vegetables. Service was wonderful and warm and friendly, and the interior was light, airy, and had lots of art and flowers at each table. The tea is great too! I'll be back to try more of their delicious Persian food, like I was eyeing their gyros.

cute little restaurant with great food and great service at great (sf) price! me and my two friends got dinner and caught up here, shared 2 kobideh plates + hummus + shirazi salad. great bites of freshness and flavor thru the shirazi salad, rice, and bites of pepper, onion, and tomato in between.

Stumbled into this restaurant while waiting for a friend tonight and ended up having a really good and tasty dinner. I ordered the mix platter with chicken and lamb. They have really big rice servings and the proteins were tender and moist. I got a garlic dipping sauce on the side and it made the taste even better. The server was really nice and attentive. There was not a lot of people when k ate there earlier, not sure how the crowd is on a later time but definitely good food.

TBH, my original plan was to get food from Cordon Blue Vietnamese Restaurant, but they only take cash, and I left my wallet at home. Just a block away, I stumbled upon this new, well-lit restaurant shining bright. Their menu sounded intriguing, so I decided to go for the beef/lamb Gyro. When ordering (they take Apple Pay), they mentioned it's made with just beef, which I was totally fine with, so I patiently waited for about 10 minutes.Once I got home, I couldn't resist diving right into the fries. OMG!, they taste like McD fries, which I absolutely love! The Gyro itself was incredibly tasty, especially with the addition of the white sauce - it took it to another level. And of course, I asked for the hot sauce because I enjoy a bit of heat, and it was delicious. I'm already looking forward to going back soon and trying more items from their menu. Unexpected joy in every bite - this place has me hooked!

Super tasty Iranian restaurant. The decor is really cute and inviting. The workers are super nice as well. We got fries, hummus, doogh, rice with barberries, chicken, lamb, and beef koobideh, doogh, and saffron ice cream. The kebabs were delicious and juicy. And the rice was so fluffy and addicting. Fries were also crisp. Saffron ice cream was refreshing. It was a lot to share between 2 people, but I really didn't want to leave leftovers because of how good it all was. I would gladly come back to support this business. The beef koobideh was probably the best tasting beef koobideh I've had. Reminded me of vietnamese beef sausages wrapped in betel leaves.

Swung by on my way home to grab something for lunch. I got one of the best falafel sandwiches I've ever had. Delicious, nice and sour, yet a good savoury flavour, I would happily get this again.They appear to be doing a lot of delivery/take out business so service is going to be dependent on that, but it wasn't unreasonable. My only small complaint is the size of the serving wasn't what I was expecting. It was delicious but could have been a tad bigger to carry over as a full lunch.
