When you sit down for this gourmet meal you are transformed. You literally could be sitting in Greece, Italy, the Middle East: The vibe is that cool. Add to that, the flavors show no expense spared! The recipes taken from Hamid’s father and family come through in every bite. A goto spot to bring out of town guests. A must stop on Catalina. Hands down the lamb will be the flavor we compare all other restaurants too: The new standard! Hamid-5 star for sure. I’d go there and just get coffee as well. That of course is top shelf as well! All of the courses-dishes we had could be described this way. I’m confident you’ll have the same experience.
A nice restaurant with very good food. The service is a little amateurish my date was offered the dessert menu while I was still eating my dinner but I would rather see more of my waiter than less. I had the chicken kabob that was well seasoned and nicely cooked. My date, a vegetarian, had a couple of choices. She chose the tofu kabob that came with a delicious pomegranate sauce. We shared the arugula salad and both enjoyed it. If you like corporate restaurants, this isn't your place. If you like good food, eat here.
The menu was surprisingly diverse for a small restaurant. Our choice was to share both a Mediterranean appetizer (they are all good here) and a salmon entree that was beyond delicious and perfectly portioned to share. The wine choices were good as well. Service was attentive at times but a bit slow at others. Just when we thought we had been forgotten, the server showed up ready to give us undivided attention. Overall, this is a lovely place I will visit again, just not in a hurry.
The food and service at this restaurant were both exceptional. We started with the Lentil Soup and tried the Koubideh Kabobs for the main course, both of which were delicious. Dita, the hostess, was delightful, and the waitstaff took great care of us. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting.

My husband and I enjoy dining at this restaurant and sitting on the patio with our dog. We always receive great service, delicious food, and a bottle of wine. We always leave satisfied and eager to come back.
Thank you, Hameed, for a fantastic brunch experience. This is the best Persian restaurant we have ever been to. We appreciate your hospitality from the bottom of our hearts. Charlie and Luisa.
