We stopped by Yas Restaurant late on a Friday night when they were just about to close (they had even turned their “Open” sign to “Closed.”) I still opened the door and asked if they were serving tea, and to my surprise they welcomed us in with so much warmth and hospitality. They served us fresh tea, and even brought out some Persian sweets like zulbia. At the end, they kindly served us baklava as well. The staff were incredibly friendly, and we felt truly welcomed the whole time. It was such a lovely, cozy experience in this family-run restaurant. We will definitely come back to try their Persian food next time. The atmosphere, kindness, and overall service were amazing. Thank you for such a wonderful late-night experience! ♥️✨
Terrible food, terrible service. Food took over 45 min from ordering to come out. The $16 Falafel came out with only 3 inedible rock hard balls over some iceberg lettuce drenched in white sauce. Chicken was dry. Steak was bland and not worth finishing. I had to go up to the bar about 5-6 times to get the server's attention. Finally they had the audacity to charge 20% REQUIRED SERVICE FEE for parties over 5. I'd give 1 star but they were able to take the falafel off the check after some back and forth arguing with the owner who said they've never had a complaint in 28 years. I highly doubt that.
I had an incredible dining experience here ,the food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The kebabs were tender and juicy, and the saffron rice was perfectly cooked. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt warm and authentic. You can really taste the quality and tradition in every bite. Definitely one of the best Persian restaurants in town ,I’ll be coming back for sure!
We had an amazing experience at this Persian restaurant! The kabab koobideh was absolutely delicious—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled with that authentic taste.served with fresh herbs and grilled tomatoes that made the meal complete. The portion sizes were generous, and everything tasted homemade with real attention to detail. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home with their friendly service. It truly felt like dining in a traditional Persian home. If you’re looking for authentic Persian food, especially kabab koobideh, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
Yas Restaurant has some strong points, especially when it comes to the tenderness of the kabobs—they were cooked well and had a nice texture. The grilled vegetables were decent too, but overall, the flavor profile fell short. For a place with such a promising menu, I was surprised by how bland most of the food tasted. The rice, unfortunately, was overly oily to the point that it became mushy, and a few pieces that fell on my lap left noticeable oil stains on my clothes. Definitely not ideal. While it wasn’t a bad experience, it was a bit underwhelming. I’d consider coming back if their seasoning methods improved. Right now, it feels like it has potential but needs refinement.
