Fantastic. Over the course of 10-15 years I've only posted a few comments on this app even though I eat out often. This place deserves the review. I'm not sure if Persian food is always this good or it's just this place, but this was spectacular.

Excellent authentic food. Kabobs with an excellent quality, taste, texture. Individual rice with tah-digs is a really nice touch. Appetizers and the desert are made as if they are homemade. With excellent presentation. Very friendly and appreciative owner and staff. Will certainly come back for more

Wow. I ordered the shishlik lamb skewers and they were on another level. In fact, the meat was so tender it practically melted, easily the best lamb skewers I have had in the Bay. What really set the night apart though was the atmosphere. From the traditional decor to the warm aroma that greeted us and the attentive service throughout, everything just felt right. This is easily one of the best dining experiences I've ever had and I'm already thinking about who I can bring back here next because it would be a tragedy to not share such a gem. I usually don't write restaurant reviews (this is my first time writing one actually), but Persian Nights gave me a reason to.

Absolutely delicious! This Persian restaurant nailed it. The kebabs were tender and full of flavor, the saffron rice was fluffy and aromatic, and the fresh herbs and sides tied everything together perfectly. The bread was warm and crisp, straight from the oven. Service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. If you’re looking for authentic Persian flavors done right, this place is a must-try! Great staff as well very polite and welcoming
