“ We went with a group of 6 on a Thursday night. I had gone a few times. The dip trio is the best thing to try. It is. Three different dips.The pita that comes with it may not be enough- these are not even portions and I don't think there are free refills on the bread.if you already know which one you like- you can order a full serving of that one. The eggplant dip is more smokey and savory. There is a cucumber dill yogurt one, then the humus dip. There is a must musir dip, which is also a dairy based dip that my friend said is a "must" try We got different kabobs, and the lamb shank. All meats were extremely tender except the chicken- which was a little dry. We ordered "family" style-so they brought out all the meets on one platter and a large plate of rice to share. Service was okay. Close to the park, can be difficult to find parking. ”
“ Very delicious and authentic Persian food. We have the koobedeh and fessed joon and dip trio. The staffs were very friendly and the restaurant is clean with a nice deco. ”
“ Came for the Dine Downtown menu and it did not disappoint!! Fantastic food!! The traditional Ash was excellent and rich! The domeh were very tasty! The best dishes were hands down the Cornish hen and the amazing lamb!! Well worth the 45 minute wait on the lamb! Drinks are great here too! I had the Tehran nights!! The desserts were my least favorite but only because I typically don't like the types of spices but I will definitely be back! Service was excellent and the ambiance was very bright and warm! ”
“ This place was fantastic! Came here with my fiancée for our 8th anniversary dinner and we're delighted by everything! The service was super friendly and helpful, the decor and vibe of the venue was beautiful, even the bathroom tile is pretty. And the food was absolutely delicious, we can't wait to come back to try more of their dishes. Truly a wonderful experience here! ”
“ So far the best restaurant (not just best Persian food) we have tried in Sacramento area. Service is amazing, food delicious. Even parking was easy to find. They have lots of vegan options. Make sure to try tahdigh with one of the khoresht (stews). Ghayme and ghorme sabzi and fessenjood were all delicious. They will make the stews vegan if you ask. We have gone here a few times now and I have tried different dishes and man they were all so good!! Make sure to get torshe and salad shiraze with any of the stews. They are both amazing. I know must -o-khiyar (yogurt dip) is popular but it is not vegan. Our waiter both times was an African American gentleman who I forgot his name. I won't be lying if I say, he was the reason we went back. He was the a delight. I wanted to make sure to give a shout out to him (sorry buddy I forgot your name). I highly recommend this place. If you are in Sacramento just eat here. Good food good service good price. ”
“ We went here for Dine Downtown on Friday night and ordered the Mediterranean caesar salad, we split the baghali polo lamb and cornish kabob, baklava poptart and saffron cardamom cake. The cornish kabob was delicious and something not normally on the menu so I highly recommend choosing that option. Also, I loved the baklava poptart so I would choose that over the saffron cardamom cake but both were good. The salad was flavorful as well. Definitely worth it. ”
“ Maydoon has been on my list for a WHILE now. I ended up visiting for a gift exchange and it did not disappoint! We made a reservation for 12, and although we were 15 minutes early, they were still able to seat us quickly. The interior was gorgeous. Definitely great lighting, upscale, and beautiful decor. They also had an outdoor patio. They had a seperate lunch menu, so I'm assuming their menu selection will change depending on the time you dine. I ordered the Maydoon Bowl and it was super fresh and flavorful. The chicken was tender and delicious. It was also super filling and I was able to take it home to have for dinner later. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. Our food came out within 15 minutes. They also have a bar, i'd love to come back to try any specialty cocktails that they offer. ”
“ Came for a holiday lunch with my coworkers, and this space was great for large groups. Reservations is highly recommended especially during this holiday season. Saw the host turn away a couple partys of 10+ because they are all booked. Service was fast and the staff was nice. We ordered falafel and an eggplant dip with pita bread as an appetizer to share. I ordered the Koobedeh with two skewers, one with ground chicken and other with ground beef. Both were well seasoned and flavorful. The basmati rice is so fluffy and the roasted tomatoes are so juicy and a joy to eat. My coworkers seem to really enjoy their order as well. Can't wait to come back again to try the lamb shank. ”
“ We made a reservation here but it wasn't quite that busy. I think one can do a walkin and be fine! Obviously this is located on one of the busy streets in Sac so street parking is where you can park. The inside is very modern with a slight touch of middle eastern architectural decor/design. It was kind of cute. I ordered a taste of maydoon with chicken. It came with chicken, some mixed greens, must khiar, hummus, pita, and rice. The chicken was tender Delicious! I actually really enjoyed it. Customer service was great! Our waiter kept coming to check and make sure we're good. I really liked that! Would probably return if in the area and craving Mediterranean! ”
