Came here to get food to go, on a Saturday after running errands at Home Depot next door. I've never seen or heard about this place, and I'm Iranian. Parking was easy. A very big plus for an Iranian restaurant. Usually they're packed. I think it's because the location is not as visible, and the Bay Area has a few other Iranian restaurants that dominate the market. So it's nice to see a different place. I only ordered the combo koobideh(beef&chicken). Took about 10 minutes, the staff was really friendly, the space looked very clean and good for family occasions. Food was ready, and I was excited, zoomed home and opened the box and the smell just made me fall in love. Btw it was Valentine's Day lol.. so this was a gift to myself. The RICE was the masterpiece. Nice and buttery(not too much) and saffron yellow. This itself was a star of the show. Both the beef and the chicken were very flavorful, of course I had to put sumac to add more flavor. They even included a few pieces of bread. And the burnt tomatoes.. LOVE them. Really happy I found this place, and the staff was really friendly and didn't feel very tiptop snobby. Kheyli mamnoon!!! read more

Super Cupertino - Koobideh combo - Specialty Food Near Me - Cupertino, California

They have everything here, all your Persian food needs. I love the Persian grocery/dining format as I crave Persian kabobs on the regular. They have a homey, comfortable dining area inside, with many tables, for eating on site. Or you can pick up orders to go. Koobideh kabob plate was excellent. The portion is large and reasonably priced. I was in bliss. They had all my required accompaniments, hot sauce, extra roasted tomato, zereshk, sumac, saffron rice, hot tea. The owners were so warm and sweet. You can tell this is a labor of love, small family business. Definitely give it a try read more

Persian food is an underrated cuisine. Those in the know, know what's up. Juicy.... Loooong.... Meat sticks! Select Foods is a hidden gem. I used to come here when it was Rose Market. Then, they transitioned to Persian Kebabs. And, as of Spring 2022, it's now Select Foods, a Middle Eastern Market that also serves Persian Food (under new ownership). Sad it took over a year to discover Select Foods because it was never trending as a "hot and new business" when they opened (*shakes fist* at yelp bugs). Food is available for takeout, delivery, and dine-in. Dog-friendly outdoor seating. M E N U Persian salads, sandwiches, "burritos" (lavash wraps), kebabs (koobideh: chicken or beef, joojeh: chicken thigh, barg: filet mignon, shashlik: lamb chops, etc.) and stews (ghormeh sabzi: herb stew, gheimeh: beef/lamb pea stew, etc.). Prices: $8.50-$35.99. Catering available. Bottled drinks available. F O O D * Cholo Koobideh: Ground Beef Kebab w/ rice, bbq tomato ($17.99): https://tinyurl.com/mvfv28d5 --Requested juicy The koobideh was nicely spiced, tender, and hella juicy! SO good. Usually, I find myself having to order mast-o-musir (yogurt w/ shallots) for dipping because koobideh can be dry but not here. The basmati rice w/ saffron was perfectly cooked - fluffy and buttery with separated grains. Served with a two smoky charred, juicy tomatoes, raw onions, and mint leaves. * Combo Koobideh: Beef & Chicken Kebab w/ rice, bbq tomato ($19.99): https://tinyurl.com/mvfv28d5 --Requested juicy Not my order but I tasted a piece of the chicken koobideh that's made with chicken thigh meat. Just like the beef, it was nicely spiced, tender, and juicy but I preferred the beef (my usual preference). * Tahdig: Persian Crispy Rice (comped): https://tinyurl.com/2ktkp2mp Saffron infused crispy basmati rice with a golden brown crust. Deliciously crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside with a rich buttery flavor. Love making little wraps with the tahdig. S E R V I C E Gracious hospitality from the very sweet owner, Sunny. She welcomes you in like family so it feels like you're dining in her home...not inside/outside a market. Order at the register, seat yourself, eat, and pay at the register before leaving. Kebabs are cooked to order so food takes at least 15 minutes to prepare. A M B I A N C E Humble, organized market. Indoor seating area near the old butcher counter has 6-7 tables. There's 3 tables outside. P A R K I N G Easy parking in the micro plaza (next to Ajito). Overall, Select Foods serves bomb Persian food with awesome hospitality. When in Cupertino, it's def worth visiting this hidden gem! read more

Came by for lunch and it was a cunning and deceitful experience. Had to take a shower afterwards... Persian Kebabs is located inside Super Cupertino. Parking is available in the private lot or on the street. Dining is available indoors with clear plastic over the tablecloths (a touch tacky). Utensils are placed inside trays. There is a bottle of hand santizer that expired back in April 2023 if that is of interest... A box of Kleenex seems to be used as napkins...interesting... Ordering with the cashier was choatic at best. The pricing and options on the menu QR code that was provided on their "business card" was vastly different than the sticker prices?!? posted on random photos next to the register. My head was spinning after going through their menu. Ordered the chicken thigh and 2 koobideh rice plate with bread and tomatos and our food was ready ~15 minutes later inside a box. It was odd that the cashier took down our order as a la carte vs. combination...more on that later. When the cashier found out that we would be dining in, I noticed that the cashier was horrified...turns out the tomatoes were burnt, as in all black... Had to remove the tomato skin before able to eat the tomatos. (Other photos of tomatos weren't all fully black...) The cashier also seemed ruffled that she had to go get the bread, onions, and greens. (so would this have been skipped if we took this to go?!?) The koobideh was the highlight of the meal being super juicy and flavorful. The chicken thighs and rice were quite bland...bummer. When it came time to settle the bill, the cashier was adament to charge one chicken thigh platter + 2 side orders of koobideh (instead of a combination chicken and koobideh plate + 1 side of koobideh), although the cashier kept on informing us that we could make any combination we liked. ...perhaps this is cultural? ~$16/head after tax for lunch. They take credit cards. read more

Looking for a new cuisine to try out in Cupertino? Then I highly recommend Super Cupertino! What a great find! It's a specialty Persian gourmet grocery store with their restaurant on the other side. They have a lot of their delicious dishes posted by the register. We were quite intrigued but weren't certain what the dishes were called (we are not familiar with Persian words). The staff is so friendly and helpful and explained all of the pictures/dishes to us. We each enjoyed their ground beef kabobs with the saffron rice. The dinner was delicious. We also really appreciated their staff because they were so friendly and were very attentive. Super Cupertino is a great place to dine and you'll probably be tempted to pick up some items at their grocery store on the way out. :-) read more

wonderful place, i went too late last time but came back and was helped by a kind woman. food was delicious i will come back

New owners are very service oriented, friendly and the market is clean. Few fresh fruits and breads (for now ?) but their canned and dried products are bountiful and also have a reasonable frozen food section. They still have a restaurant kitchen for to go orders and a small eating area indoors. Order your food at the front register and the food will be brought up to the front when it's ready. Bought a big tub of locally made Pistachio ice cream - very creamy, pretty smooth texture & nice balance of pistachio flavor with saffron & rose water aromatics. ($22 - worth it) This market is not affiliated with the Rose markets. read more

Wonderful resource for great grocery items that are hard to find elsewhere. Lovely new owners, and the place is so clean. I always enjoy going there. read more

Truly delicious Persian food. The owners are so kind and really know their inventory. They have great sweets and tea varieties. We've tried other local Persian restaurants that may have "fancier" ambiance but the the food (kabobs, etc.) at this one is far and away the best and the prices are reasonable too. The person complaining about the grilled tomatoes having some burning on the outside clearly isn't familiar with authentic Persian cuisine. read more

I gave them a call last Sunday to check if they had any fruit juices, and they said they did. I told them I'd be there in 15 minutes, and I kept my word. But when I arrived, they communicated with me using sign language to let me know they couldn't help me out. Maybe it was because the guy helping me was on the phone, but he didn't seem to think it was worth putting his call on hold to have a chat with a customer who had checked in with them before showing up. I ended up buying some Baklava for a hefty $15, only to find out it was swimming in so much sugar syrup that it turned the whole thing into a soggy mess! read more
