Amazing local Persian!!! I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant hidden in the hills. Great food and great service. The seating, decor, and ambiance felt casual and homey. I had the chicken combo which came with a skewer of chicken and koobideh both were juicy and flavorful! My fiancé got the abgoosht, a lamb, chickpea, potato stew that was a new dish to us. Our server was very kind in showing him how to prepare the stew to eat it the way it's meant to be eaten! Beautifully presented and delicious! We ate up our food so quick we forgot to take pictures!

Amazing little restaurant in Yorba Linda serving Persian cuisine. I ordered beef soltani plate, doogh and a hot tea -- as well as the sabzi side (fresh herbs and feta). The beef soltani plate was lovely: one kebab of barg and one kebab of filet, both deliciously flavorful, succulent and tender. Comes with the white/yellow rice, roasted tomato and poblano chile. I couldn't come close to finishing the plate, the portions are generous! Sabzi plate was good, a little different than some I've had (due to seasonal availability I assume) but still satisfying, came with a radish as well. I wish there was more than one radish but I love vegetables :) The feta that is served with this is yummy! Bulgarian feta, I asked. Overall a solid stop and a nice way to relax for a late lunch/early dinner today. After it slowed down I chatted with the owners briefly, who are very nice people, and found out they also have a customer loyalty program. Based on my observance throughout my meal, this restaurant also seems to have a crowd of regulars which is always a good sign. Personally, I can see why -- I'll be back!

Odd name, great service (owner is very nice), quality food, great ambiance- especially on the back deck, a bit pricey, overall we liked it and will be back!

This place is a hidden gem! I've tried a good amount of Persian places in California and this place takes the spot for bang for your buck and taste in general! Their chicken is the juiciest and most tender I've ever tried! the owner recommended us her baklava with saffron icecream and it was amazing! Everything is home made so you know it's good quality!

We went here for lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant doesn't open until noon but it seemed to be family owned. The food is a bit slow to come out but it was worth it. I was not sure how much meat to expect on my plate, so I ended up ordering a side skewer too, which turned out to be way too much meat. The chicken was moist and seasoned properly. I ended up ordering the yogurt since I need something for my rice. I wish they had something of that sort complimentary. The yogurt came with some pita. Overall at just under $20, the dish is in par with other restaurants. Unfortunately having to order the yogurt and the extra skewer had me paying $50, which is a bit steep for one adult, a six year old and a 1 year old. I liked the ambience and the food. The only down side is that I paid about $50 for a plate, the yogurt, and and extra skewer of meat.

Nice place, wasn't full when we entered for Saturday late lunch (3pm). There wasn't many options around the area and I had a craving for Mediterranean food so I chose this place. At first the place is very bright and clean, had some tables for seating which had seasonings (salt, pepper, etc) and decorations. We ordered a Doogh to try, never had it and it was sour and had plenty of dill flavor. It goes well with the food! For food, we ordered the lamb shank and koobideh kabob plates. Lamb shank came with Lima bean rice, broth, and onions. Koobideh kabob came with rice, grilled tomato and jalapeño, and onion. The food was very hot and fresh, came in metal plates and silverware. We had the meal with the doogh drink because it paired so well with the food. Restrooms are clean and gendered for individual use. They have a patio area outside which is nice and beautiful as well. Overall I had a good time eating here as my first time at Yorba Linda.

What a cute little find in Yorba Linda! The place is easy to get to and has a ton of parking. The owner is also the host and the spot is very cute. They are definitely trying hard to make this spot thrive. There is a back patio here that I don't remember there being at the previous restaurant that was here years ago. I got the zereshk polo, which comes with rice and an amazing sauce. We also ordered the cucumber yogurt starter and the tomato, onion cucumber salad. They were all very tasty! The yogurt feels homemade? Like the food. Do yourselves a favor and come try them out.
