    Beef and chicken kebab with rice and fresh bread

    This is a hidden gem, kebabs were the best I've had in the Bay Area... and the food made fresh, along with the sangkak bread. This will be my new go to spot.

    Expect a bit of a wait, even if your order is small, uncomplicated or if you are the only customer. I usually order 2 koobideh and one chicken with rice and grilled tomato, and it usually takes 25 minutes. The person helping you will tell you how long it will be, and they are accurate. It's a tiny store inside of a rundown strip mall. Blink, and you could miss it. There is a bigger Persian restaurant in the next parking lot, but that's not what this is. This is a small store that has a few groceries and dry goods that is very specific to Persian cooking, a grill in the back, and they offer maybe 5 different things, and they do it well. It's all takeout, so don't expect to eat there unless you do what my partner and I do and bring a tray and eat that outside in our car with no shame and much happiness. They are renowned for their bread. I'm not a bread person, but it's reputed to be the best sangak bread you can get for miles, and it must be true because every time I go (which is only for the grill), there is always someone buying a bunch of fresh bread. The lady has a vibe that...I guess can be interpreted by some as unfriendly? but to me I just feel like front-end of a store does not seem to be her forte but that's small business for ya - she definitely seems to work really hard. I don't go there with any expectations for her personality, and that is fine. The food. It's good. Just go.

    This place is one of the places I go when I'm feeling home sick. They make fresh sangak every day and also kabobs. You can get kale pache as well. Everything taste delicious but you have to take it to go as they don't have any seating areas. But hands down best koobideh in Bay Area!!!

    We were looking for a certain baked good and did a search which led us to Aala Yazdi. While they did not have that particular baked good, they had other wonderful goodies! The lady helping us was so nice! They did not have the beef koobideh available yet so we ordered chicken kabobs. We ordered a portion of the sangak bread which was fantastic. Edges were crisp and the middle had a nice chew. It was amazing fresh, so we had to take nibbles while waiting for our chicken kabobs. We also bought sour cherry jam to enjoy with our sangak bread at home. The chicken was delicious. So juicy and flavourful. Will definitely come back - a little later in the morning, so we can try the koobideh and other kabobs. So happy we found this place!

    Their sangak was the real draw - a slightly sour, yeasty, soft, fluffy bread, similar to naan.

    Combine a terrific fishmonger inside a local grocery store focused on a mix of fresh vegetables and…read morefruits, a targeted selection of ready to eat fresh as well as frozen items, and a good sampling of different pantry staples the emphasize many Asian ingredients, and that's what you'll find at Green Fish Seafood & Grocery! They are opening a little later hours now which is great given that it can hard to get there after work. Overall, we have been impressed with the knowledge of team members supporting their fresh seafood section, and they are transparent in their sourcing of fish and shellfish, along with providing suggestions on how best to prepare them. Seafood is not cheap so if you are going to invest, you want good quality, and that's what you'll find. Generally, their fruits and vegetables are high quality as well, and sometimes you just have to sort through them to find the best choices. We also love not having to travel to Concord or the Tri-Valley to grab certain Asian pantry items. Service is also friendly and efficient too, so hope people support this local market -- you won't be disappointed!

    Green Fish Seafood & Grocery is a small Asian market near Rossmoor. I believe they are affiliated…read morewith a market with the same name in Oakland Chinatown. I came here for the first time on 06/22/2025 because I needed a few items to make sushi at home. Got here at around 5pm and it wasn't busy at all. The first thing that struck me was how well-organized it was. Fresh produce was on full display both inside and outside the business. Once inside, there was a fish counter on the left side that featured live seafood and sashimi grade fish. I got some bluefin tuna at $29.99 a pound. Quality was good and the price was comparable to other specialty markets. I also got some ripe avocados for $1.19 each, which was way cheaper than Safeway. Aside from fresh seafood and produce, they appeared to carry a good variety of Asian staples. However, I was unable to check out that area because a shopper lost her pearl earring and multiple workers were helping her to find it. :-P This is a good place to shop if you live in the area, especially if you don't want to drive to Concord or Dublin for Asian items. 4 stars.
