    This was our first time coming here and we came here on a Friday night. It was moderately busy and we were sat right away. They had live music which I think might be a weekend thing but I'll need to confirm. Our server came over and welcomed us and took our drink order and let us know if we had any questions. We ordered an appetizer to start and it came out fairly quickly. The ambiance was very friendly and nice. One of ladies who I think was the owners tried to get me to dance with everyone but I'm very shy so I respectfully declined. Another table was there for a birthday and we're all dancing, it was a fun vibe! What we ordered: Appetizer: Crispy Rice (Tahdig) With Ghormeh Sabzi And Gheimeh Bread Cheese and walnuts Main: Baghali Polo Mix Saffron Rice With Koobideh Combination Chicken Kabob Beef Koobideh Dessert: Tea Faloodeh And Ice Cream This was probably the best kebab I've had and the portions are generous. I really loved the service and all the food. And would for sure be back!

    I found this place on Instagram and decided to try their Kaleh Pacheh--it was absolutely delicious! We also came back for lunch on Saturday, and everything was delicious. Great portions, friendly staff, a nice indoor atmosphere, and good music. We'll definitely be back!

    Stopped by for a quick meal and was pleasantly surprised. Everyone working here was genuinely friendly and made us feel welcome. I ordered the kebab, which was flavorful and cooked really well. The baba ganoush was probably my favorite part of the meal - super creamy with a nice smoky flavor. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu!

    Loved the kashk bademjoon. Absolutely delicious. Tried the combination koobideh. Enjoyed the chicken more than the meat. Everything else was average. I'm still reeling from paying $11.99 for a small bowl of yogurt with chopped cucumber in it. The meal cost us upwards of $110 for two and this is not a fancy place. I think the sides are really expensive for what they are - especially the yogurt and the shirazi salad (Again just chopped cucumber and tomatoes in a small bowl) Tahdig with ghormeh sabzi came swimming in oil with barely 2 small pieces of meat in it and four kidney beans. Did not eat this. Tahdig was not crunchy, it was soggy. Service is extremely sweet.

    This place was just ok for me I think the eggplant appetizer was the highlight for me. The chicken thighs was a bit off for me. It was moist but I felt it could have been cooked more. The wrap dish needed a side tried to order fries but didn't have any that day.

    La Lavash Bread with mint and butter

    I've been on a Middle Eastern food high for about a month now. I think it's my goal to try to find some of the best Middle Eastern, Persian, and Mediterranean eats in the South Bay area. I believe this was my second Persian place I tried on my pursuit of some of the best Persian/Middle Eastern eats. And boy am I glad I found this place. First of all this place I feel like is one of those hole in the wall places. It's kind of hidden to the side. Like a hidden gem. I also think that this place is also a really popular spot for receptions and catering. When I went on a Saturday afternoon it was nice and quiet, the host (I believe she is either the manager or owner) was super nice) I ordered koobidah and chicken combination because I wanted to try both proteins. I also ordered the lavaash bread also. I underestimated how large these portions were going to be. But besides the underestimation, the food was absolutely delicious here. I never combined lavaash with mint like that it's a whole new flavor profile I really came to appreciate with the sumac onions and grilled tomatoes on the side with the well seasoned and juicy meats was absolutely delicious. The saffron rice was a generous portion that could have probably feed two to three people. I needed to take leftovers home. But this place is worth checking out if you want to try Persian and Middle Eastern food I'm definitely coming back because it is my current favorite Middle Eastern spot. Update: One of the most hospitable restaurant managers I've met and places I ate at. Please support this place!

    My mind is blown. Came here on a Saturday night at around 8 pm. The staff were all very kind. We used the QR code to look at the menu and the server came by to take our order. I absolutely loved everything we ordered here. The hummus was delicious. I couldn't stop eating it The shallot yogurt was one of a kind. The best yogurt I've ever tasted at any Persian restaurant . The beef and chicken koobideh was just amazing . Flavorful, tender and super juicy. The best I've ever tasted in my life. Even the saffron basmati rice was actually fragrant. We will definitely be back often and bring a bunch of friends with us. My favorite Persian restaurant!

    Lamb chop koobideh
    Kristina K.

    Lunch date with one of my besties after our late morning walk. I was craving Persian food, so we decided to try this place since it's conveniently located near Home Depot, which was our next stop for a quick errand. The restaurant was empty, probably because we came in for an early lunch. The host was very friendly and welcoming, although I did feel a little rushed to order since she checked in with us a few times to see if we were ready. I would totally understand if it had been busy, but we were the only customers there at the time. Since it was our first visit and the menu is accessed by QR code, we were still scrolling through everything and deciding what to get. We ended up ordering individual plates. I had the Chelo Kebab Koobideh, which is a ground beef kabob served with saffron rice, grilled tomato, and fresh onion slices. My bestie ordered the lamb chops with saffron rice and grilled peppers. While we were waiting, the host brought out complimentary flatbread, yogurt, and salad, which was such a nice surprise. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal. The food was flavorful and the portions were generous. The lamb chops were slightly charred, but my friend still enjoyed them. This place is more of a casual spot to eat, which makes it great for a relaxed lunch. I'm already planning to bring another bestie next week so she can try this spot too. They also accept credit cards, which is always convenient.

    Waited for 30 minutes to find out they didn't even start to make my food while my friends food was already cooked. I don't get how the point of sale system isn't connected to where to place your order so at least the cooks in the back can know there's an order. Was very excited to try the place until I waited 30 minutes to know my food hadn't even been prepared yet.

    4.5 Stars This spot is one of my dad's favorite and he's a pretty particular guy. The food and the service are an easy 5. The food is flavorful and authentic and the portions are gigantic. We got the family platter of 6 assorted kebabs ($109.99) and the sabzi stew ($20.99) and it was all amazing. Us 5 people maybe finished like 50% of the food with plenty to take home afterwards. It was my first time having sabzi and I loved it - it was authentic and spiced well and wonderful. It had so much olive oil in it though - I wonder if that is normal. I'm not sure who was helping us out - she was so warm and sweet I figured she must be the owner, or friend of the owner. The interior is .... interesting, lol. Between the giant flashing LED screens, the garish fame flowers, and the choice of furniture... yeah, this isn't like, a classy nice ocassion spot. When I walked in I thought - oh god, the food better be really good or something. Oh, it was also completely empty when we walked in. Located in a strip mall.

    Ghormeh Sabzi Stew with Saffron Rice (Persian )
    Sriharsha A.

    Came here with friends on a Saturday night after seeing some positive reviews online, but unfortunately this place was a disappointment across the board. When we arrived, the restaurant was completely empty, which quickly made sense to us. We were asked to view the menu via QR code but not order through it, but just tell the server what we wanted, which felt unnecessarily awkward. Prices also felt very high for what was offered. I paid nearly $25 for my dish, and it was absolutely not worth it. Additionally, they had images of the dishes on the menu which did not look like what we received. Food took almost 30 minutes to arrive. We were given complimentary lavash with butter and mint, but both the bread and butter were cold, making it nearly impossible to spread, and the combination itself was unappealing. Water was self serve from a jug that was never refilled. There were also cleaning solution bottles left on every table, which felt strange. We didn't know if we were expected to clean the tables ourselves. I ordered the gormeh sabzi, a dish I've had many times elsewhere. This version was overly sour, very oily, and came with very little stew compared to a large portion of rice. Service wise, the staff were friendly, but there were notable issues. My friend ordered chicken and was served beef instead. The server simply removed it from the plate. That's especially concerning for anyone with dietary restrictions. None of us enjoyed our experience, and given the price, wait time, and food quality, this isn't a place I'd recommend.

    Excellent service, authentic testing food and clean restaurant. It's woman owned. She is at times the cashier or server. She's very caring. You can taste the quality in the food.

The atmosphere is impressive enough to make you want to some money. Judging by how packed the restaurant was, nobody else seemed worried either. They must be doing something right. The food was outstanding and matched by equally excellent service. Every dish was high quality and beautifully prepared. Of course, I may be a little biased because I didn't have to pay. Food always tastes even better when someone else picks up the bill. My only disappointment was the restroom. For a restaurant at this price point, I expected a little more luxury. There wasn't the urinal ice I've seen at some high-end restaurants, and there were no extra amenities like floss picks, mouthwash, or premium paper towels. One thing to know before you go: they don't accept same-day reservations, so plan ahead. If you're looking to impress someone--whether it's a date, client, or family member--this is the place.

At first, our server was very nice and friendly, gave us refills on banchan and explained everything thoroughly. When it came to payment, her entire personality shifted. She followed us outside and exclaimed "Was my service bad? Why is the tip so low?" "I don't know" was not an acceptable answer for her as she looked at us, presenting the receipt. While waiting guests stared on, she expected all of us to empty our wallets and give us cash until some of us said we had no more cash to give. After that, she didn't even bother to say thank you. She turned around and went back into the restaurant. For transparency, we initially tipped 20% on a $400 bill. We were embarrassed, angry, and felt humiliated. The staff should be grateful that customers even tip at all. 20% is more than enough - they should charge gratuity if they think otherwise. We could have turned around and left her waiting but felt we had to tip anyways due to her aggression. To follow us out of the restaurant and demand more money was unacceptable. 10 Butchers is already overpriced as it is. Search "tips" on the Yelp Page for 10 Butchers. This same scenario has been going on for months; with someone experiencing this same incident weeks ago, it's clear there is no change being made internally. Take your family and money elsewhere. There are plenty of KBBQ restaurants in the South Bay.

For $18.99, you get your choice of two proteins, rice, salad, and miso soup, which is a pretty generous meal for the price. We all upgraded to the premium proteins for an extra $6 each. We tried both the short ribs and the ribeye. While the short ribs were good, I actually preferred the thinly sliced ribeye--it cooked quickly, stayed tender, and had great flavor. One pleasant surprise was the salad. It wasn't just an afterthought; it was fresh, well dressed, and honestly as good as the side salads served at many Japanese restaurants. The miso soup was also solid and rounded out the meal nicely. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the s'mores dessert. At $3, you get one small rectangle of Hershey's chocolate, one marshmallow, and two graham crackers. The portions are tiny, and if you have kids, they'll almost certainly want more than one. By the time you order enough to make everyone happy, it doesn't feel like much of a value. Overall, this isn't the best Japanese BBQ I've had, but that's not really the point. It's a consistently good, affordable meal with quality ingredients and generous portions for the price. If you're looking for a satisfying lunch that won't break the bank, Kura's lunch special is an easy five-star value.
