Isfahan Kabob

I had the pleasure of working with Isfahan to cater a Galentine's party at our home, and the experience was outstanding. For our party of ten, the food exceeded expectations--not only was it delicious, but the portions were generous, ensuring everyone was well-fed and happy. The staff was incredibly helpful in planning the menu, offering great recommendations that made the selection process seamless. I brought my own platters to the restaurant, and they beautifully arranged the food, making for a stunning presentation. Thanks to Isfahan, hosting was effortless, and we looked great serving such an incredible spread. I highly recommend the beef kabobs with rice (kubideh, the cucumber yogurt (mastokhiar) with bread, and hummus. The kabobs come with a very flavorful rice which was surprisingly good.

We dined in although I get the impression this is mostly a "to go" restaurant. Service was fast, polite, and no nonsense. The kubideh kabob was super tasty and fresh. The chicken kabob was a little dry for my taste but my family loved it. Portions were reasonable as was the pricing. I would go here again but probably get the food to go. Dining in has a "hole in the wall" feel to it. So if that's what you're looking for then this is your place!

A nice spot to grab some persian food and relax. I came here on a Monday night looking for Iranian Beryan, and I was not disappointed. Upon entering, I see Khabib Nurmagomedov and his entire crew sitting there. I was definitely starstruck, but I didn't go over to bother him, just yet! The lady at the counter was very sweet, and we ordered a combo kabob plate and Iranian Beryan. Everything was delicious, and very fresh. They had bottled doogh, and all the typical sodas you would expect. You can see them cooking everything as you wait. It's a very small cozy place, somewhat of a hole in the wall. When I saw Khabib leaving, I asked for a photo. He didn't seem to be too interested, but he told me to hurry up and took the photo anyway! I've only met 2 fighters in my life, One of them was Muhammad Ali in Iran in 1994 when I was just a little boy, and the 2nd is Khabib 30 years later at Isfahan restaurant. Muhammad Ali was a lot nicer! My suggestion is go to Isfahan for their food and service, but if you see Khabib there, leave him alone, he doesn't really like the attention that comes with greatness.

Had a chance to try this place when in the area and glad I did! This is a small shop that sells yummy kabobs - thankfully I was able to place an order from before and go in for a quick pick up. I ended up getting the combo kabob with chicken breast and a koobideh type with rice and tomato. Food was yummy but I felt the chicken kabob was a little bit dry, the koobideh was juicy and well seasoned. Overall hearty food, and for the price they give lots of food!

This place is the best for Persian kabobs! I've been coming here for quite sometime now and I love how juicy and tender the meat is! The prices are good for what it is compared to other comparable places! The service is always great and the people here are friendly!

Amazing food esp beef ground kebobs Overall super cheap prices compared to the other places in the bay Small and comfy location Nice service Food is great!

We ordered takeout. Loved the kabobs, saffron rice and grilled tomatoes! Great price and flavor. The chicken breast may have been a tiny bit undercooked.

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this placed yet! We love the kubideh and the chicken breast here.After countless deliveries, I have finally eaten inside. It's a very no-frills, hole-in-the-wall place complete with a difficult parking lot, haha. IMO the kabobs were even better in the restaurant compared to delivery. Plus there's a shaker of sumac on the table, which if you don't know is absolutely wonderful seasoning for kabobs... (I also recommend a little salt, though perhaps I'm a salt freak.)

If there is one for a quick eat or take out option for delicious Persian kebabs and stews, this is the go-to place. Koobideh, shish, and appetizers are a must-try. Parking is limited though.

Delicious kebabs and generous portions. Prices on the high side these days but quality is high and is worthy of the price. A great neighborhood gem - would definitely eat here again if I was in the area.
