It’s a nice Persian restaurant in San Diego. If you’re looking for a kebab plate and Mediterranean style kebab, it was very delicious. Kobideh kebab and chicken kebab was very juicy and yummy. The guy his name was Hosein he was very sweet and we all enjoyed the company.

I had the most incredible dining experience at Darband Persian restaurant in Little Italy, San Diego. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance immediately put me at ease. The restaurant’s elegant decor and cozy atmosphere made it the perfect place to enjoy a delightful meal.

Great Persian restaurant. Good menu and great wraps. We got both chicken and kobeeda wrap with green spicy sauce for pick up- excellent! It’s not a fancy place but food is good. Will definitely recommend

The biggest thing I’m going to miss about Cali. Their food is amazing, the portion size is big enough to feed me twice! The workers are so kind and pure and I LOVE this place. It is such a family atmosphere and everyone is kind, and the food also comes out so quick! 10/10!! (I recommend the #31, it’s my usual!)

Hole in the wall spot for authentic Persian cuisine. A bit pricey but they really load up the rice when you get kabobs. At least two meals if not more per portion. I’ll be back

We had dinner last night for the first time here. I never tried Persian food before and it was amazing. Chicken barg, koobideh, chicken soup, etc were so delicious. The only issue was when we asked to split the check , the owner didn’t want to do it and was very reluctant. He claimed we should have said that beforehand ‍♀️ but anyway we managed that. This is a good place for Muslims, halal food and no alcohol! Perfect!

Foods Here is great, portion is in a good size, we ordered Chenjeh kebab, Soltani Kebob, Lamb rack kebob and Tah dig with Ghormeh sabzi. i can tell the chenjeh and lamb rack kebob were reallly good. Koobideh was ok and Ghormeh sabzi and Tahdig was good as well. They bring you Lavash bread, butter and Yoghurt of your choice at first and always have black tee which you can help your self. BUT this place is not well designed or even really clean. we sat outside it was ok but you do not feel relaxing inside! So, i will go there another time for sure because of food but prefer take out than sitting over there. BTW the waitresses were really friendly and helpful specially the one from Afghanestan.

Not stoked on the ratios provided. Great flavor, but basically no value here. Definitely just going to walk a little farther and get the same amount of food for less at anywhere else basically.

Generous portions and delicious food at this humble, casual set up. One of the best chicken kebabs I have had all over the US – truly juicy , just as in the description. There’s welcoming tea for all guests as you enter.
