We walked past this restaurant as we were exploring inner sunset. This is hands down the best mediterranean place we've been to in SF. The quality of dishes is really good. My favorite dish hands down was the chicken with rice and dates and raisins (not posted). Staff was nice but because we went during lunch time, service was a bit slow.
Walked by this place many times, but somehow we have never been until recently. Sat outside. And surprisingly, we saw some drama about people either waiting for their food next door or maybe the bus using this restaurants tables/chairs/parklet while they were not customers. I guess that's life in the City. This place is nice with delicious food. Of note, we like their decor. They seem to do a good job incorporating indoor and outdoor with lots of flowers and foliage. Food is delicious. My hubby got the Aush reshteh which is a type of Persian soup featuring reshteh, kidney beans, chick peas, herbs, and kashk commonly made in Iran. Hot fried garlic, onion, and/or mint are used as edible garnishes. We also had a complimentary green salad, the Jujeh kabab (chicken), the Zereshk Polo (dried barberries), which are small, tart, and flavorful red berries that are a staple in Persian cuisine paired with saffron rice and chicken. It's a bit sweet, sour and tangy. We also got the skewer barg (filet mignon) that tasted great and paired nicely with all the other dishes. We also got Persian tea to wash it all down. Service was pleasant. Located on Irving and 6th Ave.
Delicious Persian cuisine - a gem in the Inner Sunset, with many choices in a lovely environment, with good-size portions, good service & reasonable prices. We were warmly welcomed and received hospitable service. There are lots of wine choices! We each enjoyed a glass of champagne which was generously poured. The restaurant gave us complimentary bread/lavash with fresh herbs, tomatoes & cheese. We shared the Zaboon - tender slow-cooked lamb tongue served with Persian pickles. We also had a green salad which had many ingredients including some slivers of beets. The Barg - tender & perfectly cooked filet mignon brushed with saffron and served with rice & refreshing sliced raw onions was very good. The Gheymeh Bademjan - stewed beef & eggplant in tomatoes, dried limes & yellow split peas was served with rice. Foe dessert, we had the Bastani - saffron pistachio ice cream, which was my favorite. We also had the Faloodeh - fragrant rose water sorbet with iced noodles which was refreshing. We shared the tiramisu which was topped with raspberries and ate it all up. We enjoyed our dining experience very much and will return to try more dishes.
Excellent food, friendly attentive service, cozy romantic relaxing dimly lit dining room inside, Parklet seating outside (with heat lamps). But most of all, the Persian cuisine here is excellent. I totally fell in love with the Joojeh (Chicken) Kabab plate here - big chunks of chicken breast PERFECTLY prepared moist and juicy inside with just the slightest hint of char on the outside to bring out the flavors! This plate is served over a huge bed of rice and accompanied by a succulent broiled tomato. Loved this dish, and I cant't wait to return. The other dishes we had were good too, but the Joojeh was the most memorable. Verdict: I can't wait to be back.. seriously!
I made a reservation online informing the restaurant I was celebrating my adult daughter's birthday. The staff went above and beyond to make this such a special and memorable day. We were given a complimentary appetizer & they surprised both of us by personalizing the dessert plate of the delicious Tiramisu with fresh berries and cherry sauce. I ordered the SOUP-E ADAS (Lentil soup spiced with ground cumin, carrots, and celery) which I shared with my daughter and we both thought it had amazing flavor and taste. For my main course I had KABOBS (Served on Lavash bread with basmati saffron rice, grilled tomato, onions, fresh herbs, and sumac seasoning) with JOOJEH (chicken breast and thigh meat marinated in lime, olive oil & saffron) which brought back memories for me of dining in Turkey. If I had unlimited wealth (which I don't as a solidly blue-collar self-employed entrepreneur) I'd eat at this restaurant more often. Getting to spend quality time with my daughter with delightfully friendly service, a quiet environment and a spectacular taste of Iran will be a highlight of 2026. Highly recommended for those special occasions or if you are a foodie!
Initially didn't have any expectations and was initially not excited before the food came as it wasn't something I was craving. However I have to say Lavash has changed my perspective and made me reflect on my attitude that night. The food is divine. Do yourself a favor and get the taste of Persia, it is absolutely stunning and the perfect meal to share (or not!). Loved the food, the service and the ambiance!! Will definitely be back.
Oh my goodness, Lavash may be my favorite new discovery. I love Mediterranean food, but it was especially nice to find one serving authentic Persian cuisine. I was very torn between the Fesenjan and the Zereshk Polo, I went with the Zereshk and I am so happy with my choice. I love barberries, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. My friend had the Prawn Kebab, no photo but it was beautiful - her grilled veggies looked delicious. Our server was flawless, and so helpful in his recommendations. He provided complimentary lavash with goat cheese, herbs, cucumber and tomato, it was a lovely little starter. The vibe inside was comfortable and intimate, a perfect location for date night or catching up with good friends. The little parklet outside is a cute addition to an adorable little neighborhood in the Sunset. Lavash is a perfect stop after a day at the park or Academy of Science. We will absolutely return.
This restaurant is a gem. It's my best discovery of 2025. I don't usually hang out in the Sunset and maybe I should have. Excellent food, warm service and beautiful decorations. - Fesenjan: the sweetness from pomegranate molasse combined with the earthiness from the walnut created a beautiful dish. I haven't had such a delicious sauce for a long time. - Salmon & shrimp kebab: grilled perfectly - Adas polo: the date mixed with rice was definitely interesting. It tasted good but I prefer Fesenjan. - Marinated olive: yummm We sat outdoor on a sunny day and there was a booth decorated with fresh flowers. It's so beautiful. I will come back to try more things here especially the koobideh.
Great service and food at Lavash! I came for lunch on a Saturday and experienced no wait despite having no reservation. I shared a Taste of Persia which came with an appetizer of veggies and a huge platter of kebabs / skewers. Highly recommend -- everything was so juicy and flavorful. The decoration was also nice and the restaurant felt very cozy. Would definitely visit again!
Pleasant ambience, great service and delicious food! My friend and I had the Taste of Persia for two, Kotlet also for two, lentil soup and a small salad was comped. Outdoor seating was also available. Street parking. Place was busy! A little on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for in the quality of food. I'd recommend it.
I have to admit, Lavash really exceeded my expectations. I had it delivery once a long time ago so I knew it was good, but eating here in person wowed me. The kebabs are amazing (chicken, salmon, shrimp), and we love the fesenjan. I can't think of a better Persian restaurant in SF, let alone the entire Bay Area.
The food here is delicious!! The restaurant is in a cute and quiet neighborhood within the Inner Sunset, very close to muni stops. I suggest making a reservation ahead of time, especially if you have a group of 4+ people. The ambiance is very nice, with lots of florals and even some outdoor seats with some heat lamps. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating, and service is pretty quick. FOOD: I ordered the Soltani kabob combo plate which is one skewer of barg (sliced fillet mignon) and skewer of koobideh (mixed ground beef and lamb), served with rice. The kabobs are cooked to perfection every time! The combo plates are a generous serving, so easy to share or have leftovers. For dessert I had the "sweet special" which is baklava and a scoop of ice cream, I always go with the pistachio flavored ice cream, so good!
3.5/5 stars Service was pretty on point, never really waved him over except the check . Fairly empty at 6pm on a weekday. The appetizer we ordered came with bread, cucumbers, tomato's , mint and some cheese with Greek yogurt definitely worth it. The yogurt pretty much went with everything and kinda made everything better and refreshing but only their bread is free. 3.5/5 Lamb chops!! The one thing you must get here . I gotta say it was just perfection. American style has nothing on this. The meat on the chops were succulent. 5/5 Taste of Persia: These were seasoned less as you can taste the spices but they still had a bland-ish taste to it when it hit the tables. Was pretty good but eventually dried up. It was my first time having Persian food so not use to it but for a first timer(could be others too) it wasn't all too special flavor wise. 3.5/5 Not my cup of tea but worth trying, a little pricey but I was full the rest of the night til morning.

I am Persian so my family and I are very picky about our Persian food but I will say everyone enjoyed their food at Lavash very much! The food was delicious and seasoned well and the staff was very nice and attentive. I also want to note it was beautiful inside. The outdoor setting was really pretty too and if it wasn't so cold and windy we probably would've sat outside and enjoyed their flower set up. Only con is they have only one bathroom so as they were getting busier, the line started forming. I also hope they add some toilet seat covers in the future. All in all, it was a very enjoyable experience for my entire family and I highly recommend trying this place out if you're in the area! read more
Incredible experience at Lavash in San Francisco! The service was warm and attentive, and the food was beyond amazing. We started with a comforting lentil soup, followed by a delicious mix of beef and lamb skewers, flavorful vegetable skewers, and a fresh tomato and cucumber salad. The traditional herb, feta, nuts, and grape platter was a perfect touch. Finished off with tiramisu, baklava, and dessert wine--pure bliss! Highly recommend for authentic Persian flavors! This all was good enough for 2 adults. Ambience is very nice and warm, welcoming. read more

Food 0/10 the worst persian food I ever had in my entire life. Kabab koobide salty as hell its nothing close to taste kabab, had bad shape and taste. I dont even know how did they manage to make the tomato taste weird. Inside the restaurant smells like public bathroom I was shocked. Panir and sabzi 0/10 it was two small panir and a lot amount of sabzi. This place needs to be shut down its a disrespect to our culture and food. read more
Celebrated my birthday with lunch at Lavash recently and couldn't have asked for a better time. After a walk at nearby Golden Gate Park, we ventured over and sat outside in the lovely little parklet. We enjoyed the flowers, particularly the beautiful orchids, and while there is some street noise it didn't detract from the day. My SO had never had Persian food before and I was excited to "show him around", so to speak. I loooove Persian food so we ordered the sabzi paneer and kash-e-bademjan to start. Then for mains he had the prawns kabob and I went for the joojeh soltani (one chicken and one koobideh kabob). They asked if I would prefer thigh, breast or a mix, which I really appreciated, and I chose a mix. Everything was so delicious and well seasoned and the portions are so large we had a great amount of leftovers to enjoy later. The staff was also friendly and helpful, and we didn't have too much trouble finding parking. We will for sure be back! A new favorite for us! read more

This is the best Persian food in all of San Francisco! I have come here many times and am always impressed by the flavor of their juicy kabobs. I've had the Joojeh kabob, koobideh, barg, and shishlik (lamb chops). The ghormeh sabzi is also delicious, and another khoresh I would also recommend trying is the gheymeh. For an appetizer you must try the kashk-e bademjan, an eggplant dip which they make perfectly every time. I would also try the mast-o musir which is a yogurt dip with shallots. They also have classic Persian desserts like faloodeh, a cold dessert similar to a sorbet, and bastani sonati, a saffron rose ice cream. If you are trying Persian food for the first time this is what I would recommend: Drink: doogh, a yogurt drink that I recommend everyone to try at least once. It is quite tart but also refreshing and pairs well with Persian food. Appetizer: kashk-e bademjan. This pairs very well with the lavash, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, and herbs (sabzi paneer). Main course: either the soltani (1 skewer of barg, 1 skewer of koobideh) or the Joojeh soltani (skewer of Joojeh and skewer of koobideh), so you can try the different types of kabobs. Dessert: bastani sonati, saffron rose ice cream. I will always come to Lavash! Be sure to make reservations on the weekends as they get booked very quickly. read more

I came here with my fiancé for date night and it was a great Persian restaurant with such a cute and cozy vibe. Customer service could use a little more improvement but the food was amazing overall! The koobideh was delicious along with rice and salad. Portions are decent but quite pricey. They even had Armenian coffee that we loved! read more

Such a gem. I'm a big Persian food fan and this spot was so delicious. The space is very nice, good spot for a date or a nice dinner with family. The service was pretty good. We order a lot of food. The roasted egg plant was soo good, great to try and share. The Sabzi Panir app is a generous size and also good for the table, they put a lot of pita bread. I ordered the Joojeh Soltani, it has beef and chicken but I think next time I'll do the beef next time. The chicken was good but I just liked the beef more. The lamb was also good, it came with 4 lamb chops. read more

Surprise engagement lunch here! We had a dog so we needed to sit outside and the table/ambiance was lovely for a parklette. For being the day after Thanksgiving, staff was limit so service was strained but we felt they did a solid job given the circumstances. Food was okay, maybe dinner is better? Yummy but not a wow meal. read more

The food was amazing and the service was great! Wife and I had a late lunch here because we wanted to try their baklava and tea. We found street parking right in front, which is really lucky on a Sunday because this area is a little challenging to find parking. The restaurant's ambiance is very nice and quiet and staff does not rush you at all. The lamb here is delicious and tender and the baklava with bastani gelato is amazing! But being able to enjoy rose tea or mint tea with all of it is truly what makes this place special. See you again soon! read more

Where to start? Here's the TLDR you have been waiting for: Service: 10/10 (quick to seat and order; food came out piping hot) Food: 9.5/10 (delicious and tasty; more of a texture thing) Ambiance: 10/10 (super cute, accommodating and not too busy) I would definitely be making this a go-to place for future reservations. Ambiance and service was a 10/10. For a party of 6, they catered our dishes to be family style and it was just the right amount of food. Now, let's talk food. Here is our order: Appetizers Sabzi Paneer (think Persian charcuterie board; yummy and a must have before the meat and carb heavy dinner) Kashk-E Bademjan (eggplant style dip to die for with the provided Lavash bread) Main Yogurt Salad - a must with the meat and carbs to cut the butter rice and meat juice (rounds out each bite) Lavash Salad (very clean and well rounded salad) Koobideh (the star of the show - a must buy) Darya Special - super yummy; note if you add the chicken skewer the chicken texture is a bit rubbery to a few people. Persian style cuisine normally cooks like this and I was fine but the texture may be off putting to some. Desserts (None* because we were full after our meal) read more

I'm a big fan of koobideh... so was craving it and decided to try out Lavash. Started with an order of Dolma. I'm not used to Dolma being warm and it had a sauce/juice on the plate. Wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped for, but was still good. We decided to share the Taste of Persia, which has chicken, filet, and Koobideh. The filet pieces seemed a little small/thin. The chicken was very flavorful and juicy. The Koobideh was yummy as well (we added an extra skewer of it for the table). The Taste of Persia is all sitting on a lavash bread, with grilled veggies and tomatoes. Highly recommend eating that bread after it's soaked up all the meat juices! The Baghali Polo with dill and Lima beans rice was very tender and juicy. Felt it could have used a little more flavoring, but they give a bowl of sumac that you can add yourself. All in all a great meal in pretty happening area. read more
Wow. 10/10 recommend this restaurant! Brought my Parents in for dinner, first timers all around and we were so impressed, so satisfied with our meal that I have been wanting to return! I frequently walk by the restaurant on my commute and it never fails to smell so delicious (hence why I wanted to try it out), and the smell does the taste justice! Pretty l quick service for a place that constantly has foot traffic. Indoor/Outdoor seating offered, a private booth offered as well. Very clean, modern rustic decor. Lighting is beautiful, a really good place for a date! Wine was delicious. I had the Soltani and it was amazing; flavorful and just cooked to perfection. Large portion so it was so filling; lavash bread underneath with basmati rice on top and the meat. Bites made with some mint, cilantro tomato and lemon and chefs kiss, delicious. My folks each loved their plates as well, they were very pleased with their experience. Walk in. Do it. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more
Super slow service (30 mins for entrees to come out) but great ambience and good food. The same thing happened to a few tables around us on a Thursday evening. Food wise the Lavash special is fantastic. The lamb chops are hands down the best thing we had. The festejan (chicken stew) was too sweet for our taste but glad we tried it. Dessert was fun - we poured syrups on top of our ice cream and rice noodles (be careful with the super sour clear syrup). read more

I've been coming to Lavash for the past 13 years whenever I want a real home-cooked meal in a warm, welcoming environment. The flavors always remind me of my background and heritage. If you're visiting for the first time, try the Taste of Persia or the Fesenjan--both are rich, comforting, and full of authentic taste. I've also ordered Lavash catering many times for parties, and it's always been a hit with guests. Truly a gem for anyone who loves soulful Persian cuisine. read more

My type of healthy diet. I am definitely coming back here and it is so inexpensive for the style and vibe of this place. I got the salmon kebab and lavash salad. The salad is unique in which there's thin wraps with grape, cheese, tomato, and walnut. read more

I come here often, and it never disappoints. Whether you visit with friends or family, sharing a few dishes is the best way to enjoy the explosion of flavors. Perfectly located on Irving, it offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The service is excellent, and the meals are reasonably priced. read more

We always either dined at Lavash or ordered the Persian food occasionally. We came to Lavash with our fur friend on Thursday. We ate outdoor as definitely they don't accept small dogs inside the restaurant. At least they have the heater. The owner Saeed stopped by at our table. We exchanged hello and talked about our fur friends. Our server Sebastian was nice. I ordered my Persian tea, my husband ordered his soda & our daughter ordered ice tea for drinks. For appetizer, we got the table's favorite Kashk-e-Bademjan. It's a roasted eggplant spread, garnished with sun-dried yogurt, roasted onion, garlic, mint flakes, and saffron. It was so good eating it with lavash bread. For lunch we ordered the Lavash Special to share (two pieces of shishlik, a skewer of joojeh, a skewer of koobideh, and a skewer of vegetables served with two plates of saffron basmati rice) and Koobideh Kabob (two kabob skewers of mixed ground beef and lamb). Sprinkling the sumac seasoning added the tangy, citrusy flavor on the meat, veggies and rice. I tell you the Persian food has the incorporating sweet, sour, and aromatic elements, rather than being overly spicy or hot. We enjoyed our meal so much that we did not have any left overs. We did not ask for the dessert menu as we were full. We always leave Lavash satisfied. I highly recommend to dine at our local Persian restaurant Lavash with scrumptious food and wonderful service. They always have the nice flowers and plants presentation in their outdoor & indoor dining rooms. Check it out! read more
I think I've been to Lavash at least a half dozen times and I have never been disappointed! This was an impromptu dinner where we didn't have reservations, but they were able to seat the 4 of us inside. Outside dining is also nicely decorated with floral arrangements. All done in very good taste and gives off a romantic vibe! We started with a bottle of red wine, Serial Paso Robles 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon. Our friend is a bartender and chose this wine for us. It was fruity, smooth, and perfect with our meal! For appetizers, we ordered Tahdig with stew, dolmas, and Kashk-e Bademjan. And for entrees, we had the Taste of Persia and the Lavash Special. Everything was wonderful! Our friends haven't been to Lavash in many years and the food, service, and ambiance left a great impression. What a perfect evening! read more
Lavash was so tasty! I got the chicken kabob and thought it was one of the juiciest chicken kabobs I've ever had! It came with rice and some salad, and I love that you can add more sumac to everything. The rice was very tasty as well! The decorations in the restaurant are very cute, and the place is always so busy! I also recommend their Chardonnay, I had a glass of that and it was pretty tasty! We also got the roasted eggplant appetizer and I thought that was yummy too. I like that they bring out complimentary bread and cheese with some veggies to munch on as well. Overall, would definitely recommend Lavash!! read more
We were deciding where to eat and settled on Lavash, a Persian spot, sandwiched between The Yellow Submarine and Hahn's Hibachi. We dropped in on a Saturday (noon) for lunch. The outdoor sidewalk patio area is cute but didn't see any heaters (only a few blankets). Menu consists of appetizers, soup & salad, khoresh, jeweled rice, kababs and combination plates. No lunch options sadly. - Armenian coffee ($5.00 USD) - 2x Kashk-e bademjan ($9.00 USD) - lavash bread was a touch dry but the eggplant dip was solid. - Bademjan ($27.00 USD) - lamb was slightly dry, eggplant was great. - Lavash special ($53.00 USD) - rice was nice and buttery. Chicken slightly overcooked. The mixed ground beef & lamb skewer were better. Lamb chop were easily the best bites. - Taste of Persia ($57.00 USD) - beef fillet was nicely cooked. Decent Persian eats but pricey. Nothing we can't find back home. 3.5 stars. read more

My partner and I tried this restaurant a few years ago and although the food was delicious, the server was quite passive aggressive to us which made me reluctant to come back anytime soon. We have been stopping by this area several times this summer and because of how good it was, we decided to give it another shot and bring along some friends with us. We got there as soon as they opened and they were able to take our group thankfully. The owner had a meticulous tracking system for the reservations that evening and told us how long we could have our table for. We ordered the kashk-e bademjan, soltani and adas polo. Our friends ordered the soup-e adas & taste of persia. The kashk-e bademjan really hit the spot as an appetizer and reminded me of how delicious eggplant dishes are. The soltani was the best dish as the barg was so tender and flavorful. The koobideh was amazing as well but the barg was far more vibrant and tender. My partner had ordered the adas polo and it was a very sweet dish. I had to layer on the sumac intensely to add some flavor and drink my water fervently as the meats were very dry. Our friend shared some of their soup-e adas and it was so earthy and refreshing. I had not tasted something like that as a soup in a while. A minor qualm is that the server did not check on our water as frequently as I would have liked. I felt quite parched through most of it and especially when I was eating the adas polo. read more

Real Persian food, high quality and you can smell the taste before even try it. This is how the good persian food looks like! The service was great and it was interesting how people came with their baggages and it was crowded and busy even though we were there at evening! Its a traditional iranian restaurant by saying this they are going with famous (noon o paniro sabzi) cheese and bread welcoming appetizer. Dont forget to ask for their house yogurt drink (doogh) and famous persian olive (zeytoon parvardeh). The shallot yogurt is the mist try! How you can order kabab and not order shallot yogurt! The desert (bakhlava) is most try so when you are going to persian restaurant it means you are going to eat like there is no tomorrow. Just kidding! Everything was great and we enjoyed our stop! Real food makes us happy no matter where we are at! It was our first time here but definitely when we'll be in San Fransisco we'll stop by but we'll make sure to reserve a table! If you want sit inside its better to have reservation if not you are supposed to wait 15-20 minutes to get a table! It seems they are always busy and we saw lot of people walked in for togo and didnt dine in! Also i was amazed by the flowers. They smelled so good and brought my memories back from home. The decoration, the welcoming, customer service, the taste and the smell of food was nostalgia!!!! read more

- i've always wanted to go here since their interior/parklet is really cute with the seasonal flowers and lights - we went on a monday night and waited 10-15min to be seated outside since there was no indoor seating left - there was a small swarm of gnats by the seat? the table was a little dirty and my friend's water glass also had some crusted on lipstick so that was pretty off-putting - they gave a complimentary platter of lavash, herbs, feta, cucumber, and tomato though it was kind of small, the proportions were kind of off, and the herbs seemed a little old and unwashed? - koobideh (4/5): comes with 2 kebabs which were super juicy and flavorful! there's lavash on the bottom to soak up the kebab juice, and a huge portion of rice. the roasted tomato helped break up the meal, and there was also some white onion slices and herbs. they also give sumac for you to sprinkle on top! the portion is pretty large, it could probably feed 2 people - overall, the main dish was good and i would come back to try their other items, but i wish they were a little cleaner read more

We tried one of the combo meals that came with 2 rack of lambs, chicken kebab, ground beef kebab, and roasted veggies. They all have a really good flavor to them; not too salty. My favorite is the ground beef since it's super flavorful and doesn't have a chewy beef texture. We've tried their things twice or three times now, and it's always been good. Only thing is after the pandemic, their portion sizes seem to have shrunk. read more
Came to Lavash and had a wonderful experience! I highly recommend reservations if you prefer to sit indoors. Looking over the menu, several items caught our eyes. We began with the Kashk-e Bademjan which is a seasoned eggplant spread. It was sooo yummy! The consistency was buttery and creamy and finished with just a light smokiness. The bits of mint provided a nice pop of flavor as well. We also went with the Tahdig with Stew opting for the Bademjan Stew. I personally found the crispy rice to be much too hard even as it sat in the stew. The lamb shank stew though was an absolute star. The lamb was not too gamey and fell right off the bone. We also got a little dish of lavash bread, fresh tomatoes, feta cheese, and basil and mint from the house. We loved the freshness of all the ingredients and used the additional lavash to eat up all the eggplant dip! For entrees, we shared the Lavash Special for two and the Zereshk Polo (Jeweled rice). The Lavash Special is highly recommended in my books. It provided the perfect sampling of all the dishes! Additionally every item was cooked to perfection. The lamb was a perfect medium rare and the chicken kabob was so juicy and tender. As for the Jeweled Rice, it was also very tasty but I do think it was a little heavy handed on the barberries which made the bites very tart. Luckily the Lavash Special came with a lot of rice so we just mixed a little in and made it a little more palatable for us. For dessert, we tried the half Falooda and half pistachio gelato. The falooda was really interesting with the vermicelli noodles but we definitely liked trying something so different! All in all, we really enjoyed our meal. Price was very reasonable and I could definitely see myself returning. The ambiance inside is quite cozy and romantic, perfect for a dinner. read more
The best meal I've had in SF and one of the most authentic Afghan/Persian meals ever. This was a foodie delight, the flavors were across the spectrum of palate pleasing and belly filling items. We had two platters that had a little of everything and their most popular stew. The service was excellent and it was quieter than most 8 table restaurants. Definitely worth the trip! read more
Came here with a group of 5 on a Saturday night. Had to make a reservation which was absolutely necessary cause they are a popular spot! Lavash was a authentic Iranian cuisine experience that is a family run business. The food was incredible and very easy to share. I really liked the lavash bread and used that throughout my dishes. My favorite item was the kookoo sabzi, it was very refreshing and incredibly unique. Can't wait to be back! read more

Ask the Community - Lavash
Does anyone know where they got the choclava from? Or what the name of their sister bakery is a few doors down?
Is this the same restaurant that will be opening up in Lafayette, CA?
Nope. They are different!
Does anyone know if Lavash has opened up again after the fire?
They just reopened after Christmas of 2019; only dinner service during weekdays, lunch and dinner on Fridays-Sundays for now.
Did lavash reopen, cant wait to come again, great food?
Yelp says Lavash Restaurant is temporarily closed. Scheduled to reopen on August 13, 2018 ... but there's nothing posted on lavashsf.com about it ... but then again there's nothing posted about the fire there either so take that with a grain of salt
Did this place close? I've called several different times and there's no answer. Also tried ordering for delivery and it wouldn't allow me.
It's closed until further notice. A fire destroyed it? no one hurt thank goodness.
