After my son's soccer game, we decided to visit Lavash Restaurant in San Francisco for lunch. We are Persians and the rituals around the food preparation and serving is just as important as eating the food. What awaited us exceeded all expectations. At the door, we were greeted by warm, cozy, yet elegant surroundings. The reception was perfect, setting the right tone. The wait staff greeted us with genuine smiles, making us feel instantly at home. The highlight, undoubtedly, was the food. We had amazing Persian cuisine (Koobideh, barg, baghali polo) that left us mesmerized as we finished every last drop of our rice. The meat melted in out mouths. It was a true Persian food experience. For dessert, we has pistachio baklava, which was divine, and the authentic Persian tea (My son had the Saffron tea). It's been a day since our visit, and the flavors still linger in my mind. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an amazing culinary journey. p.s. (my son usually prefers video games rather than surrounding's and conversation but he felt instantly at ease and never asked for his phone). Now I am hoping his next soccer game is in San Francisco as well!!!! We will be back! read more

With great anticipation, we have looked forward to visiting the renewed Lavash. Previous experiences had set expectations for a delicious Persian meal with kind service. Like all SF restaurants, surviving the Covid-era requires operators to make adjustments and offer signature dishes as togo offerings. The well packaged meal of Kashk-e Bademjan and Joojeh Soltani was an exceptional late lunch. Our Kabobs were seasoned perfectly, juicy and grilled fresh to order. The plentiful portion of basmati rice, grilled tomato and lavash drenched with kabob drippings was reminiscent of a lovingly prepared family meal. I felt compelled to call my Mother to rejoice! We're definitely looking forward to the full experience once dine-in resumes mid-July. Meanwhile, another togo/pickup from this SF favorite is already overdue... read more

Lavash - Outdoor seating - Persian/Iranian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Of Armenian origin, Lavash means "good food". Lavash not only serves "'good' food", it serves some BOMB ASS good food... Ever since Lavash opened its doors in 2007, I've been wanting to try it but it quickly fell off my radar. While trying to work off our Yelp bookmarks, my friend and I found that we both had Lavash bookmarked, so it became our next target. On Tuesday, 5.10.11, my friends and I (party of 4) arrived at Lavash for our 7 PM reservations and were promptly seated despite there being a blunder with our reservations (they had us down as canceled). F O O D / W I N E: This was my 1st time having Persian food, but I love Greek and Mediterranean food which is very similar; i.e. grilled meats seasoned with dry spices. There were only house wines available by the glass, so I ordered a glass of the House Pinot Noir ($7.50/glass). The pour was generous and the medium-bodied, bright fruit flavors with a slight acidity went perfectly with my rich, full-flavored meal. *COMPLIMENTARY LAVASH PLATE: A GREAT START! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/MnGeqFYFTsWjdWSvMyPO0w?select=NOQkTu9JGN07Ila1f3ZgnA Together, the fresh lavash and the accompanying feta cheese, fresh mint and basil, cucumbers and succulent tomatoes created the perfect balance of creamy, salty and tangy with crisp, tangy freshness. *YOGURT SALAD ($3.95): A MUST ORDER! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/MnGeqFYFTsWjdWSvMyPO0w?select=B2pqgp8CjBLUb3AT8Ph4RA I'm all about different flavor profiles and the yogurt salad was the perfect dipping sauce for the meat. While helping to balance some of the richness, the yogurt gave a fresh layer of creamy tangyness. *DOLMA (4 for $7.50): The BEST Dolma EVER! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/MnGeqFYFTsWjdWSvMyPO0w?select=mZ44Z8QCHsvsOxEVJisV0Q Served warm, the dolma was generously filled with the savory beef and rice mixture. Balancing the richness of the beef was the tangy grape leaf while a dallop of the yogurt sauce gave it layer of creaminess and different tangy flavor component. Unlike, other dolmas I've had, this was mainly filled with beef which I appreciated. *SOLTANI COMBO PLATE ($21.95) - Barg and Koobideh w/ Basmati Rice & Roasted Tomatoes ($21.95): MOUTH-WATERING! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/MnGeqFYFTsWjdWSvMyPO0w?select=5s95L1z7WnPEggl2OVbAVw Atop a sheet of fresh, flakey lavash bread was a skewer of filet mignon (barg), ground beef & lamb (koobideh), a generous mound of fragrant basmati rice with 2 roasted tomato halves and raw onions. The koobideh was AMAZING! It was rich, succulent, and full of flavor with a hint of herbaceousness from the spices. The lamb added a hint of gaminess to differentiate it from just being ground beef. Although flavorful, the barg was a whole different story. It was sliced which drained out all its natural juices making it very tough and chewy. It tasted more like a improperly cooked sirloin steak than a filet mignon. For both meats, a dip into the yogurt salad added that punch of creamy tangyness while the sprinkle of sumac added a layer of tartness to give you that contrasting flavor profiles. The accompanying basmati rice was perfectly cooked to an al-dente and the perfect canvas to the flavorful meats. The tender and plump roasted tomatoes and the crisp raw onions completed the entire dish giving it a ray of sunshine. *MAKHLOOT - Half Bastani/Half Faloodeh ($6.95): OMG, SOOOO GOOD! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/MnGeqFYFTsWjdWSvMyPO0w?select=tuBIN5SubVfs-WeJavQw6A The bastani, a Persian gelato with rose water, pistachio and saffron was seamlessly rich and creamy with a fragrant sweet floral flavor and a nuttiness from the crunchy pistachios. The faloodeh, rosewater sorbet noodles added a brightness to a dish with a light citrus flavor while adding a delicate crunchiness to the creamy gelato. The bastani and the faloodeh were like a Ying and Yang that worked in perfect harmony together. S E R V I C E: The staff at Lavash treats you like one of their family members with their friendly, hospitable and very attentive nature. They were quick to take our orders, food was brought out in a timely fashion, and our water glasses were filled like clock-work. However as they got busy, you had to flag a member of the staff if you wanted something which was understandable. A M B I A N C E / D É C O R: Like a cozy Mediterranean home, Lavash had a very welcoming and intimate feel to it with its mustard hued walls, fireplace and flickering candles. Tables are quite close with each other and the dining quarter was smaller than I imagined it, so it's more of a place for a party of 2-4. P A R K I N G: Street parking is a hit or miss but do allow yourself extra time as it's located in an area with other neighboring restaurants. Lavash is a welcome change to the plethora of Asian restaurants in the Inner Sunset area. If you have a hankering to tickle your taste buds, this neighborhood gem will definitely take you on a culinary Middle-Eastern journey! read more

Lavash surprised me with it's elegance. It's quiet, intimate, and pretty, with a bounty of fresh flowers placed along the inside entryway and in this way, looks more upscale than most of its Irving Street brethren. At no place on this corridor do I ever dream of making weeknight reservations but I came close to regretting that move here. My party of four snagged a last minute cancellation by someone with the forethought to reserve. We then stared long and hard at the menu, which jumps from stews to jeweled rice dishes to kabobs, all of which will leave you saying "yes". A patient waiter - Lavash doesn't rush its diners - allowed us to dine leisurely, first over a bottle of wine then over the "Try It All" ($18) appetizer, enough for 4 people to enjoy. The "Try It All" is a beautiful platter of Persian starters, fresh and satisfying enough to constitute a meal in itself. I later remarked that I'd order this plus an entree for a party of two to share; it'd make a perfectly satisfying meal. The most popular stew here, Fesenjan ($23), is comprised of only 3 ingredients (chicken, pomegranate, ground walnuts) and is uniquely Persian in flavor. The sweet/sour tang of this dish is good, but one note, and something I grew tired of quickly. If you try this dish be sure to share plates. A whole meal of Fesenjan might leave you overwhelmed. Lucky, we shared, swapping between us bites of Baghalo Polo (Pot roast lamb shank with basmati rice, dill, and lima beans, $24), Koobideh (mixed ground beef & lamb with saffron seasoning, $17), and another couple of kabobs. There is zero reason to share the basmati rice accompaniment as each dish includes an ample serving of it. I particularly liked the handful of fresh herbs beside my kabob. They lend the entree an authentically fresh taste and texture as well as a burst of welcome color. Corkage at Lavash is a reasonable $15. From ambiance to service to food I found Lavash to be a really nice experience. It's upscale without being pretentious, tasty without being fancy, and it left me feeling a bit pampered. Emerging onto Irving Street following a most satisfying dining experience I made a mental note: Make a reservation next time or you'll probably wind up dining somewhere down the block read more

Friends took my husband and I here for dinner. I had never had Persian food before and now I want it again. I loved the beef stew with eggplant and pickled limes, but I probably shouldn't have eaten the whole lime. More to the point, the rice was AMAZING. I had the rose falooda for dessert. Also amazing. Friendly but busy staff, and surprisingly crowded. I understand why. read more

There's two phrases I try to use sparingly when writing Yelp reviews: "orgasmic" and "hidden gem." Well, I'm going to use both here to describe Lavash. The "hidden gem" one might be more apropos because one of my favorite dishes here is the vegetarian zereshk polo aka "jeweled rice." I had no idea that vegetables could be so...juicy. Of course, my review should be taken with a grain a salt as I have very little experience with Middle Eastern food (taste-wise, it's very different from what I am used to, which is East Asian cuisine). But what I love about this and all the other dishes at Lavash are that the flavors are so intense--there's sweet, sour, savory, and smoky (from the grill), oftentimes all in one bite. It tastes like the rainbow--which is also what the zereshk polo looks like when it's first presented to you! The koobideh (minced beef/lamb sausage) with basmati rice is also another favorite. I am not exaggerating in the least when I say this is the most tender, most juicy meat I've ever had (UPDATE: besides at French Laundry). You will also wonder how on earth could a grilled tomato taste so good. The portions of this one are huge but at the same time, the food is so good you won't want to share it. For dessert, I recommend their handmade baklava (the best in the Sunset, hands down) and their pistachio saffron rose water gelato (yeah, it's as good as it sounds). I could eat that rose gelato every day. Speaking of rose, they also serve excellent rose mint tea. The service deserves extra mentioning as well...every time I come here, we've been treated extremely well. One time in particular was very meaningful as we came in a large group and didn't make reservations (it was our first time and we naively thought the restaurant wasn't popular). The restaurant allowed us to use their "take out" section next door that has a couple tables and bar stools. Even though they could have forced us to just sit in one table and leave another small table out for other customers, they reserved the entire room for us so we could have our privacy, which was just incredibly kind of them. We got to meet the owner and thank her and I could see how much her staff loved her too. Lavash should top any and all lists of best restaurants in San Francisco. It represents the city well with its quality of food and service and is the #1 place I like to take people who are from out-of-town and want a special and memorable meal. read more

I made a reservation for two with high expectations, but Lavash wasn't quite as "lavish" as I had hoped. Granted, it may have been due to my eating just a few hours beforehand, so I wasn't very hungry. Lavash is a cute little place with just a scattering of tables. Per usual with San Francisco, dining was more elbow to elbow with the table next door, and conversation felt limited due to the close proximity of glancing strangers. The ambiance was dim and intimate, and I thought it was quaint that the bathroom was a broom cupboard reminiscent of Harry Potter's. Our server was fine, but she always seemed to be in a hurry and didn't quite let me finish my question before cutting in with the answer. Rose tea with mint leaves: (http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=6pfvcwyROWWjdOrWy5EWSA&userid=1ug7EtH4blOzzbqqkmkenA) (http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=1pJiJO9O2c6LbQvXDak5cw&userid=1ug7EtH4blOzzbqqkmkenA) I was a fan of this tea, but I wish there had been a little more mint in it. It was light and refreshing, and I especially enjoyed the stirrer with rock sugar on one end. I'm not usually a fan of rose teas, so I was surprised that I liked this version. Turkish coffee: (http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=JV8qVOFk05QfsHtAgSgx1Q&userid=1ug7EtH4blOzzbqqkmkenA) I enjoyed my single sip of this coffee, and it didn't seem as grainy (read: saturated with coffee grinds) as other versions I've had, although perhaps that's how it's supposed to be..? It's very strong, but smoother than espresso and the accompanying wafer is a nice contrast. Complimentary lavash bread with cucumbers, tomato, mint and basil, and cheese: (http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=V0b1z4oSKh0knwRBv4P7iQ&userid=1ug7EtH4blOzzbqqkmkenA) This was a nice little appetizer, and the lavash bread went well with a combination of vegetables and cheese. The lavash bread did seem a little dried out in comparison with the one that was on a later platter and the cucumbers were a little wilted on the edges, which suggests that it had been perhaps sitting out for a time. Cucumber yogurt salad: (http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=1RyMPQyUgbvMwhbDIkvs3A&userid=1ug7EtH4blOzzbqqkmkenA) Ohhhh my goodness, this was one tangy yogurt dish. The majority of the dish comprised of very tangy greek yogurt interspersed with crunchy cucumber cubes. I didn't get much flavor except for those two ingredients, which were good by themselves, but became rather one-dimensional after the fourth bite. Lentil noodle soup (bowl): (http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=9TWVEGfqt_51e59HqP5EdQ&userid=1ug7EtH4blOzzbqqkmkenA) This lentil noodle soup was probably my least favorite part of the meal, largely because of its lukewarm temperature upon serving. It's one of my biggest pet peeves when food comes to the table slightly warm, especially soup-like foods at that. These noodles were boiled so that they had little texture or substance, there was little lentil flavor of traditional lentil soups, and the overall dish was heavy yet tasteless. Lavash Special for two: lamb chops, beef kabob, chicken kabob, and roasted vegetable skewer atop lavash bread: (http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=9TwHMR5naMHxLn3fI_xY3w&userid=1ug7EtH4blOzzbqqkmkenA) Basmati rice: (http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-mkQKuJcnWcAMsY4ZEICaw&userid=1ug7EtH4blOzzbqqkmkenA) I enjoyed the vegetables in this dish, as they had that nice, charred, smokey flavor that comes from grilling. The beef kabobs were a little salty for me, the chicken kabobs on the dry side, but the lamb chops were succulent and just the right amount of gamey. I picked at the lavash bread on the bottom, which was mostly saturated in oil and juices from the meat and vegetables. It was definitely enough food for two people though, especially coupled with the fragrantly warm basmati rice. Overall, Lavash didn't exceed my expectations, and I can't forgive the lukewarm lentil noodle soup just yet. I wouldn't be opposed to coming back for a second chance, but perhaps on a less crowded night and certainly without the lentil soup. read more

Discriminatory Behavior, Beware - Yesterday I visited Lavash for the second time, and was absolutely disgusted by what happened to me. We tried to call the restaurant a couple hours before to make a reservation but no one picked up. Since we were going to be in the area anyway, we decided to walk in and try our luck. We arrived and there were quite a few empty tables - but when we asked for a table for our group of six, we were told that everything was booked for the evening. We walked a few feet away to figure out or other options, and not even a minute later, my other two friends who were part of our party arrived and asked about a table. They were told there was a table about to become available and were able to get seated. For context, I am a Muslim woman who wears hijab, and my other friends are not visibly Muslim. It seemed clear to me that there was discrimination involved in this decision making - and I wanted to make it clear to the host who denied us service knew that we found out. We took the table, had our meal and during the course of the evening several tables in the restaurant remained completely empty. On our way out, I told the host that I would not be dining there again and the next time she wanted to deny service to someone based on discriminatory factors to try and be smarter about it. She chased us out on to the street, screaming in front of other customers that we should be appreciative that we were even served. I hope that people take this clear discrimination into account before eating at Lavash. read more

This place is really good! My husband, son and I had an early Valentine's dinner here. I called early to make reservations on the same day and they were able to squeeze us in. We checked in and waited a few minutes to be seated. We were given a lovely window seat. They were busy on Valentine's day so service was a bit slow and could have been better but the food definitely made up for it. To start, we ordered the Sabzi Panir which is Fresh organic herbs, teta cheese cucumber, tomato, walnuts & grapes served with lavash bread. This appetizer was light, fresh and delicious and probably enough for 3 to 4 people. For our entrees, my husband ordered the Fesenjan which is Chicken with ground walnut and sour-sweet pomegranate sauce I've never had this type of dish before and when I tried it, I wanted to have the entire dish. My husband was happy to share. It was delicious and had the perfect amount of spices. I would return just for this dish. I ordered the Joojeh kabob which is Chicken breast & thigh meat marinated in lime, olive oil & saffron seasoning. My son and I shared this dish and he enjoyed it very much. Everything was so flavorful and I felt all my problems slip away because I was so happy. I highly recommend this restaurant when you're in the mood for persian food. I'm just a little bummed we didn't get to try the dessert because our little boy was getting a little antsy so we had to hightail out of there before he started to bother the other patrons. Anyway, The food is delicious! Definitely worth a visit. read more

Being from the Middle East, we tend to be high browed and snobby when eating out at ME restaurants. Can I just say that it's definitely not the case with Lavash!! We have catered several meals and have never been disappointed. The chicken and kabobs are always so flavorful and tender ( I'm salivating just thinking about last nights dinner) the salad, eggplant dip, rice. It's all super authentic and Ahmazing! Edatokhon la Mareh- I hope your hands didn't hurt too much while cooking. read more

I tried. Too bad Persian food just isn't really my type even though I asked for all the authentic recommendations. For instance, the strong (aka authentic) herb-y taste of the Persian noodle soup reminded me of those nasty Chinese oriental medicine soup my parents use to force feed me when I was a sickly toddler. However, nice little restaurant and friendly service. read more

Our recent dining experience was unpleasant. We ordered dolma, kookoo sabzi for appetizers which was good. But our entés of sultani and salmon kebob were both burnt and the rice was previously frozen with hardly any saffron garnish. The beef filet on the sultan was cut too thin and all curled up, leaving very little amount that was edible. The entire salmon skewer which included zucchini and bell pepper was burnt to black color, we had to cut the edges of each piece which left us with very little edible pieces. The restaurant was out of two items we ordered on the desert menu and herb tea. We had an out of town guest who was on a tight schedule or we would have returned all the entrées. This restaurant is very clean and cozy, our server was very polite which receive the two stars. We are not able to recommend this restaurant with our recent experience. read more

Lavash - A full mean fit for kings! - Persian/Iranian Near Me - San Francisco, California

The food action probably rated a 4.5, but the staff was awesome and the place has a really cozy warm feel that kicks it up that half-notch. Glad I made a reservation since we were seated immediately even though we saw people doing walk-ins standing in the drizzle. Not the biggest eatery, so I can see why I've had issues trying to book for parties of eight. We started off with kotlet, which were two really tender patties of potato and ground beef on a bed of fresh herbs and lettuce. Not exactly the texture and consistency I expected from a meaty pie, but it was tasty and reminded me of Japanese korokke. Every table also gets a platter of lightly toasted lavash squares with a cube of feta, a pile of onions, fresh herbs, and tomatoes. Fun to pick at while you wait for the food! For center ring food, we went with the Lavash special, which was two pieces of saffron'd and lime'd lamb choplets, a skewer of beef, a skewer of chicken thigh, and one skewer of vegetables. This was all on more lavash, so it was really soaking up all the meat juices. Big platters of pilaf drizzled with butter finish it off. Definitely want to come back to try out the fesenjan. read more

I always like their decor , feeling very comfortable and cozy dining here. I like koobideh.. In general, I am not a big fan for lamb, but here, their lamb does not have that strong gamey taste at all , so big win win in my book! If you look for drink , they have sangria , but it's not on the menu. Also I have tried their yogurt drink recently ( doogh) savory yogurt drink which is a bit weird for my personal taste bud.. I ended up adding lots of sugar to make it sweet... Then it became not too bad.. read more

Service and ambiance was nice...but I just had the most unattractive AND overpriced dish ever. The vegetarian version of Fesenjan was a bowl of mud colored sauce containing SIX little mushrooms, absolutely nothing else but TWO walnut halves and a side of rice. $28 ! My wife had the equally yucky looking chicken version. It was my wife's birthday and this was supposed to be a special meal for us. Huge disappointment and ALOT of money. read more

Background: Mediterrean restaurant on the strip of Irving restaurants. Details: Joojeh kabob - really delicious chicken kabob served with veggies and rice. I found the meat really juicy, flavorful and tasty. It didn't need any other extra salt or spices, but I did squeeze a whole lot of lemon on it though, which made it even better. Every table that comes in gets a complimentary appetizer of lavash, herbs, veggies and cheese. Super delicious! Dessert - I liked the tiramisu here. I'm sure they didn't make it, but still good. Also, the bak-la-va is DEE LICIOUS. really sweet, so count on sharing a piece or pairing it with coffee or tea. Dinner w/ wine and dessert will probably run you about $35, which I think is a good value considering how good the food is. Also, the ambiance is really nice and romantical. Definitely a good date place or a place to have girl's night. Verdict: Quickly became my favorite mediterrean restaurant in the city! I definitely love the food and ambiance here and have come back multiple times. read more

Lavash - Chicken Kabab and rice! More than enough for two meals! - Persian/Iranian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Loved this place but after the last ordeal I will never visit this place again...which is very unfortunate! Placed an order via grubhub and accidentally placed a double order within a few minutes (sure it was my fault) the restaurant calls me and asks if I want to keep both. I happily said please cancel the second order which they did...a week goes by and then another and I was still charged for both orders. Grubhub said to deal with the restaurant as they are the ones that received the money. The male employee was very rude and declined to refund my money (mind you the original order was already for $200 and the extra order was for around $160)and even went as far as to say: "I'm not even required to speak with you!" I will never spend another dollar at this establishment. Bunch of thieves! read more

I was ambivalent about Lavash when it was suggested to me. Lunch is served outside, and being in the Sunset neighborhood, I was less than enthused. But they gladly turned on the heater and kept me comfortable. The server is really nice, cheerful, and helpful. But it was the food that blew me away. Totally unexpected. I ate more than I thought I would. I am really glad I decided to get out of my comfort zone. read more

The best Persian restaurant in entire bay area. The staff is warm and welcoming. The food is just amazing.

Very well decorated, feels homey and like you've been transported to a quaint village along the Mediterranean. We came on a Saturday afternoon and there was one guy serving the whole restaurant (though no more than 4-5 tables at a time) and he was really on top of things and incredibly nice. Here's what we got: Mint tea - fresh mint leaves served with saffron rock candy - this was wonderful! Especially great when you've been walking around in cold SF weather. The mint & rock candy added the perfect bit of flavor to the tea. Kashk-e Bendemjan - seasoned roasted eggplant with roasted garlic, mint flakes, and saffron - delicious! I'm a huge fan of eggplant and this had perfect texture. We also got a free platter of pita bread, feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, and some other herbs - the eggplant went really well with this too. Must say that the roasted garlic added SO MUCH to the taste, giving it that extra crunch and extra spike of garlic flavor. Fesenjan - chicken w/ ground walnut cooked in sour-sweet pomegranate sauce - I was really excited about this as the description sounds delicious and I saw several other tables with this dish, but the pomegranate flavor was just a little too overwhelming! The dish doesn't look this way as there are just a few pomegranate seeds, but either they used more sauce or its flavor just overpowers everything else. When I had a bite with more walnut/ chicken the flavor was balanced better, but these bites were not a majority of the meal. The texture of the sauce was nice and thick and the chicken was delicious, incredibly tender. read more

I love their food. During Covid, we were so happy they remained open for takeout and we ordered every week. What a treat it was. We always order the same thing: skewers of salmon and prawns, skewers of chicken and skewers of vegetables. The side salads are very good and they have a delicious salad dressing. We don't get tired of ordering the same items as we find them incredibly delicious. The price is totally reasonable for such high quality. Highly recommended.
