Stopped in about three weeks ago. This was after a 1 year absence when I used to go often. I Was…read morequite disappointed compared to what I remembered. My friend order the chicken....I've never seen or tasted drier chicken....we jokingly called it Chicken Chips. Should have returned it but didn't. They must have known as they were plating? Ate very little.... I ordered the lamb kabob....it was ok but pretty bland, looked like processed little meat balls. . Service was good and friendly, no owner on site. In past visits I loved their Asobuco but none was on the menu. That's what I wanted to order. There was free baklava ....wasn't looking for free....went up to the counter to order some. Then was given two out of a bunch of stacked containers behind the register. If I hadn't inquired wouldn't have known. In past visits they always walked around with a tray and offered. This was dry as well..... I do appreciate free but not dry. I was willing to pay. I probably caught them on an off night, business was good which is always a good sign. I'll give them another shot but won't order the Chicken Chips.

Perfect balance of spices and fried to perfection. A+ Hummus - smooth and fresh. A+ Baba Ganoush - not bad Dolma - very different but not bad Chopped parsley salad - was ok. I am not into parsley. I'm more of a cilantro type. Hopefully, I can switch to a chopped salad next time. Mixed grill with lamb tikka, meat kafta and chicken tawook : Lamb Tikka - overcooked, dried and tough. Meat Kafta - flavorful but dried Chicken Tawook - was alright. Rice - dried and bland. I prefer the rice and grills from Princess Pita. Pita bread - pillowy and yummy Desserts: camera didn't get to it. Rice pudding - too sweet but not bad Baklava - soggy and didn't taste fresh Tahini ice cream- not enough sesame. Will definitely return for the mezza platter, extra extra Falafels.

A true gem in the Valley. I visited the Persian Room for the first time with visiting family, and…read morewe were amazed. Firstly, the interior is GRAND - in size and extravagance. Every detail you notice is extravagant and purposeful. Visiting on a Saturday for lunch, there were plenty of other families eating together too. I noticed the crowd was mostly older, which lets you know this restaurant is a true staple in the community (I find that usually the old people know what's up). As all 4 of us weren't super hungry, we split the Persian Room Special- Combination of barg (Filet mignon), chicken filet and Koobideh kebab, served with basmati rice and grilled tomato. It was a huge portion of food, served on a large silver platter. The menu states that it serves 2, but it perfectly filled us 4 adults! Granted, we weren't super hungry to begin with, but 2 is definitely an underestimate. I'd say it can easily satisfy 3 hungry adults. Anyway, quantity aside, THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! Everything was so flavorful and paired well together. The meat was also juicy. My favorite was the koobideh kebab for sure. There isn't much more I can say, as the food speaks for itself. The Persian Room is definitely something you need to try for yourself. Weeks later, I'm still craving it and will definitely be back!

The location is convenient and the ambiance inside is wonderfully welcoming. My friend is a frequent guest and loves it, so I was really looking forward to the meal. Unfortunately, my experience was dampened when I found a hair on my chicken skewer. Rather than making a scene or notifying the server, I simply removed that piece of chicken and ate the rest. While the remaining food tasted great, the discovery left me feeling grossed out for the remainder of the meal. Overall, the atmosphere and flavors are excellent, but the hygiene slip brings my rating down to 3/5 stars

Welcomed in, first thing that got me distracted was the incredibly large selection of Mediterranean and European groceries available.

From there I remembered i was hungry and made my way to the counter to order. That particular day i was hungry, so I ordered the Shawarma Combo chicken and beef with salad, great tasting rice, huge amount of hummus and pita. So much food. Whilst waiting, this allowed me time to stock up on spicies, canned dolmas, Turkish Coffee and some other fun stuff to experiment cooking. Food was delivered to the table and such a feast.

We tried a couple of their Persian Kabobs and found them to be excellent! The Koobideh (ground beef) kabobs were tender and juicy, with great flavor. The Boneless Chicken kabob had saffron flavor and was cooked to perfection. The salad was nice and crispy with just enough oil/vinegar dressing. Customer service was excellent, with very attentive staff. Their dining area's ambiance is good, is well lit and is nice and cool. There are plenty of parking space just outside in the shopping center. The food was very good... we will definitely have to come back to try the other items on their menu. Two thumbs up!

Some restaurants chase trends. Others just quietly keep making really good food year after year…read more This is one of those places. I'd been here several times years ago, and after coming back, I'm honestly wondering why I don't eat here more often. I ordered the chicken shawarma, a stuffed grape leaves platter, and hot tea. Everything was exactly what I hoped it would be. The chicken was well-seasoned, tender, and wrapped with the classic toppings, and the portion was fair for the price. Speaking of price, the value here is honestly hard to beat. The stuffed grape leaves platter came with hummus, tabbouleh, pita, and hot stuffed grape leaves. I had completely forgotten they serve them warm, and my brain needed a minute to recalibrate because I'm so used to cold dolmas everywhere else. Once I took a bite, though... yep. That's how they're supposed to taste. Soft, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. I ended up adding some of the hummus and tabbouleh to my shawarma, which made an already great sandwich even better. The service was just as impressive as the food. My server was genuinely kind, gave me a few extra minutes when I couldn't decide, checked in without hovering, and even offered to package my hot tea to go when he noticed I was still working on it. (For the record, ordering an entire pot of tea for one person was an ambitious life choice on my part.) The dining room isn't huge, and there's also a small market attached, which adds to the charm. This place reminds me that consistency is underrated. Years later, I came back, and it was just as good as I remembered. Great food, great service, great value. I'll try not to wait so long before my next visit.

I was browsing Uber Eats for Mediterranean food when I found Golden and realized they had something that looks an awful lot like Khachapuri (here it's on the menu as Aldo). So I abandoned my plans of delivery food and promptly made my way in to eat. We got a solid sampling of the menu: - hummus/foul - Aldo with cheese and an over easy egg (I think their default may be scrambled but they do over easy if you ask!) - stuffed grape leaves - labani + black olive flatbread - kufta with tomato sauce - shawarma chicken wrap Lord above, my heart was so happy. The foul is exceptionally garlicky. Perfectly so. My partner said the hummus was his favorite thing we ordered, and he's a pretty discerning dude! The Aldo was excellent. The grape leaves came out hot, which surprised me, but again - solid! Flatbread? Stellar. Maybe even better the next day. The kufta didn't particularly excite me, but I wasn't the one who ordered it, and my partner was happy. My shawarma wrap? Oh boy, that garlic sauce. They even perfectly portion the innards so your pickles aren't all stuck to one side and the fries to the other. You can have pickles in almost every bite! We also got several desserts to take home. I haven't sampled them yet, but the hazelnut baklava in particular intrigues me. Casual ambiance. Options for booths or tables, inside or outside. I am so thrilled to have found Golden - they'll be a regular spot for me!
