Tarik SturmJuly 12, 2015The portions are generous; you probably won't be hungry afterwards. The bastani is an excellent dessert choice - light and very refreshing. Service was prompt and the waitresses are very friendly.Upvoted Feb 16
Hessa Al ZamelSeptember 7, 2017Their food was really really good !! Try their joojeh, koobideh, and shishlik.. and don't miss their saffron rice, it's a must!! Best persian restaurant in SF ❤️❤️
sadie cJanuary 24, 2015my favs tonight included shishlik, a rice dish (we had one with chicken & dates in it), the "special treat" dessert, choclava... but *everything* was tasty... go with 4 people & share everything.- Lavash prepares some of the best Persian food in the Bay Area. The house doogh shows great attention to detail; the yogurt drink comes crested with rose petals and fresh mint leaves.
- One of my favorite restaurants in SF. Cozy, consistently excellent Persian food where they make you feel like family. Get the shishlik, best lamb chops evah!
All the kebabs are super tasty. I like the salmon, lamb and the koobideh. The rice is dangerously addicting
Aman ManikJune 24, 2014Mint tea is excellent. Comes in a large, glass teapot with mint leaves spewing out. They accompany with a fresh lemon and sugarcane.
Sherry LiJune 23, 2015Really good Persian food. Get the panir sabzi and any of the meat options. Delicious!!!!
- Ashwini SukhdeveMarch 23, 2015Everything we ordered was extremely tasty! The eggplant appetizer, zereshk polo, shishilk was amazing! One of the best baklava!
HodaJune 6, 2021High-quality Persian food with vegetarian options. I recommend their Makhloot or Bastani for dessert 😋
Tim GolfballDecember 15, 2013Bring your appetite the portions are generous! Love the salmon and chicken kebabs. Staff super friendly. A great neighborhood place!
Rachel RebeccaOctober 8, 2016Lavash was actually really good here, so were there kebabs! Great food and very friendly service
Aziz MOctober 19, 2015Great food, nice staff, don't miss Lavash mixed grill. Love eggplant appetizer
Kian LaviApril 1, 2016I didn't know this existed! All the Persian treats you could dream of. And yes, they have lavashak
JennyDecember 2, 2014Cozy, romantic spot with great food. Chicken can be a tiny bit dry, but another time it was just fine
Pavan KulkarniDecember 24, 2016The paneer subzi is just bunch of herbs and cheese don't expect any marinated or spicy paneer. The kebab main course was decent but nothing great
AlexJanuary 10, 2011Forego getting the regular white rice with your meal and substitute (for an up-charge) to one of the specialty rice dishes. Also,get your food served family style to save plates and room on the table.
Cara HirschOctober 21, 2013Kashk-e Bademjan is fabulous. Cherry refresher is not too sweet, which is lovely.
Umesh GopinathJuly 8, 2012Amazing food; the kababs. Try the non chicken ones. The girl who took our orders was BEAuuuutiful :)
Maryam TaheriMarch 30, 2013I suggest koobideh and mast o khiar it's sooo good. You won't be disappointed here!
Larissa DinhAugust 15, 2011Must-order the Koobideh, mint tea, mixed grill to share, extra grilled tomatoes, eggplant appetizer.
Amber YuDecember 28, 2014Lovely place for a date. Kind of dark if you actually want to see their face...- Ujwal ChinthalaSeptember 23, 2012Panir apptzr is more of a salad. Very tasty though. Faloodeh and aorbet combo dessert is really good.
Charlene NaughtonAugust 4, 2011This place is amazing! Great service and great food! I love the koobideh and the saffron rice.
Ardalan ZandianApril 22, 2013I liked their staff and their services, but the food was not perfect. It was a normal food at a very friendly place.
