Went to Lazeez kitchen for lunch after reading all the good reviews…read more The restaurant was empty with one family before me ordering. I ordered the lamb and beef platter. It took like 25 mins only to find out they made it for Togo and it's just sitting there, not a problem mistakes happen. The meat was juicy and flavorful, the salad had lettuce , onion and one baby tomatoes but a lot of olives. Maybe they do it this way. The place is clean and tidy. I will try this place again sometime

Came here on a Wednesday night for a solo dinner and sat at the bar. It wasn't particularly crowded…read morebut there were a few people. They were playing the basketball game at the bar which was nice, but it wasn't intrusive to the tables in the dining area. Service was great! The bartender Jamie was friendly and personable and made great recommendations. I was pleasantly surprised with how reasonably priced menu was especially these days and they didn't skimp on the portions. The mustard sauce served with pork chop was delicious! I almost didn't order a drink but I'm so glad I did because the cardamom espresso martini (with orange bitters) was uniquely delicious! A couple other good things to know is they do happy hour! They also have live music on Tuesdays and sometimes on weekends as well.

First time here and visiting Oakland. Here is what we ordered with price and rating…read more Chicken & pasta $25 5/5 Hanger steak + Mashed Potatoes $32 5/5 Cheeseburger + fries $15 2/5 Mixed Greens Salad + add steak $11 + $8 5/5 The food was delicious and was presented beautifully! Music playlist was good as well. Cheeseburger was a safe choice of mine but I was very jealous of the other dishes that was ordered. We came in as soon as they reopened again ( 4pm ). Waitress was very attentive. Thank you for the great experience! Grand Total was $100.33. I feel this price was very good compared to my city , the portions here were big and shareable.

Amazeballs. So well thought of. From the sauces to the desserts…read more The cheese stuffed falafels are the best I've ever had. The Chicken Tagine is soulful and generous in its portioning. We had the lamb burrito thing and it was so soulful and delicious. Drinks all get a thumbs up and the space itself is warm and inviting. We had them cater a memorial this last weekend and the falafel balls were the hit. Thank you guys.

Great place go eat in a nice day as the indoor dining is still pretty open. It was busy but not noisy. I'm leaving this reviewing having noticed that they have unfortunately closed! My hope is they find a new location and keep the same menu!

Enjoyed a nice family lunch at Kamdesh. The restaurant is large but we were one of two diners on a…read moreSaturday. The restaurant was pretty warm from the oven and no ac was on, there is a fan near the door. We ordered many appetizers, the best was the potato bolani, and eggplant borani. Unfortunately there was no pakora but they had samosas, which were ok. For mian dishes, we had a variety of meat and vegetables. For veg, I recommend the sabzi challow and green beans. And heard the lamb chops were good. Food came out hot and delicious but it did come out slowly. There was only one cook in the kitchen. Service was friendly, they allowed us to eat an outside cake in the restaurant. Would come back to eat again, maybe take out!

Recently I hosted a multi-day work event in Downtown Oakland where I was offering lunch each day,…read moreso instead of big chain restaurants or Doordash or EZ Cater, I actually called restaurants and spoke to managers/someone who could work with me on catering orders (talked on the phone? wow, shocking! But working with them directly helps them earn more than when it's through one of the delivery sites). I've always liked Kamdesh, sometimes during a busy lunch rush I've had to wait a little bit, but I felt like getting them a shot. I worked out a menu for a buffet lunch with different items and they delivered to my office in downtown. We had folks with dietary restrictions, and the person I talked to was able to walk me through some options. There were able to work within my price range per person and I could choose different items like kebabs, borani, etc. and they included cooked veggies, saffron rice and salad. It probably ended up being too much food but that's a good problem to have. Everyone enjoyed the meal, and we had leftovers in the fridge for a couple days.

The chicken shawarma and beef dishes are always super tasty, and their koobideh kebab is perfectly cooked every time. It's honestly the only restaurant that I'd say is worth visiting at least once a month the prices are fair, the portions are generous, and the food quality is consistently great. Every time we go, everything is just excellent!

The chicken and rice are awesome. Chicken was juicy and so flavorful…read more Yogurt and chive appetizer was great. The waitress recommended it and it was way better than I was anticipating. Tachin was something completely different. So many different flavors and textures. Great change up. Wouldn't be my go to. But once in a while I could enjoy it.

We walked in and tried to get a table for 2. And the owner asked us if we had reservations. But…read morethere was plenty of seating inside and outside. Funny part is, no one walked in after us. We were then seated, the first girl asked if we wanted anything to drink which we did but we never got our drinks til another waitress came and asked us 20mins later. We told her we were ready to order and we had to wait another 10mins for another waiter to order. We got the chive/shallot yogurt, lollipop lamb chops, Koobideh and Joojeh Kabob. The kabeb dishes came with grilled tomato, grilled pepper, rice with tadig on top. They also make this pink butter to put on the rice. Food is good and everything was seasoned well and not over cooked. I want to give this place a try again but they need to work on their customer service. They catered more to other tables and we didn't even get offered the dessert menu like the other tables around us. Also, we had to ask for the check and no one even came to check if we were ready to pay we had to go up there.

I called in my order and arrived on time to pick it up but it wasn't ready. Honestly, I was a little confused by the service. We had 3 people and few smiles. My wait was 15 minutes but I used the time to get some other items. Very expensive but high quality from what I can tell. I would come back for sure.

The lady shaving the…read moremeat seemed preoccupied & didn't want to leave her post but eventually after another customer told her the same issue she stopped & took the orders. Love the mural on the wall & the well kept restaurant. Orders: Baklava-noticed while passing the bathroom that they make their own baklava, so for $3.95 I decided to buy one & it was absolutely like home made. Fresh nuts & rich butter, makes all the difference in the world. I would definitely get again. Chicken Shawerma wrap $15.29 nice chopped up slices of marinated chicken wrapped in a lavash bread w/a side of side salad & spicy chili sauce. The lady asked if I wanted more chili sauce & glad I said let me finish what was given 1st bc it had a kick & I only finished half of the sauce. I would re-order this wrap for the flavor, freshness & my go to item. Steak Shawerma Wrap $16.19 was seasoned well but there were so many gristle pieces that it made me regret ordering it. So in the future this will not be a choice for me. When I'm craving Mediterranean in Downtown Oakland & new to do some banking at US Bank, I enjoy visiting Falafel Boy!
