Such delicious, freshly made food with amazing flavors. This is a place where you want to take your time to enjoy the meal. The portions are large making it perfect for sharing among friends/family. And the service was impeccable — not too many places have service like this anymore. Can’t wait to go
We opted for their three-course menu during restaurant week, and we were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions! I selected the Alaskan King Salmon, while my partner chose the lamb. Despite the dishes being good, we found our meats slightly dry, especially the salmon. The lamb, ordered medium
The pesto hummus is fantastic. Famous chicken also incredible. And to finish, the fadooleh (Persian ice cream) is absolutely amazing. The rose water is a bit strong at first but give it a couple bites and be sure to squeeze on plenty of lime.
We chose their restaurant week 3-course menu, and WOW were the portions HUGE! I got the Alaskan King Salmon and my partner got the lamb. We both felt our meat was a little dry. It was still good, but not great due to the dryness, especially of the salmon. The lamb was ordered Medium but it came out
The food is not bad. Hummus was very good. 20% tip is included by default as well as 8% surcharge. Portions are really big. Take the main course for two or skip appetizers.
The restaurant is nicely decorated, and the lighting is great. This is our go-to whenever we are in San Diego. We had the beef, chicken, koobideh, and the group appetizer. We tried the Bandar cabernet sauvignon, which was ok. Our server, Gota, was really sweet.
Love, love, love Bandar! Great for date night or group dinners. Food is amazing, even my picky kids loved it. Decor is delightful, service is awesome, and the food! It's also walking distance to the Civic Center Theater if you want to grab a bite before a show.
On a business trip to San Diego, I decided to revisit this restaurant after about 4 years. I must say that fortunately nothing has changed! Same delicious authentic food with great service. I took a colleague with me and she also thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service.
Visited this place with a group of friends before heading to the Balboa Theater, and it turned out to be a fantastic surprise! We opted for a large order of tadig with various toppings, and it was absolutely delicious. The food came out quickly, which was perfect for our pre-show plans. Enjoyed a fe
Went here with a group of friends before our show at Balboa Theater and it was a great surprise! We ordered a large order of tadig with different toppings and it was so good! The food came out fast too which was perfect. Had a few espresso martinis with it and then we were off to our show.
We went for my friend birthday to Bandar Restaurant. The food was delicious. Our waiter Edwardo was courteous and attentive. He made sure we were served hot tea constantly(Persians drink a lot of tea). Even the owners took time to welcome us and to sit with us.
Bandar restaurant is a gem that deserves all the accolades it receives! The remarkable quality of the food, combined with the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the exceptional family who runs it, makes it an unforgettable dining destination. If you're seeking an extraordinary culinary journey
Wow! I used to think another Persian restaurant close by has the best Persian food, but boy was I wrong! We ordered six dishes, and every single one was outstanding. I’m comparing this place to other local Persian restaurants and hands-down, this is my favorite. The ambience is exquisite too! I will
One of the best Koobideh (ground beef kabob) dishes I’ve ever had! Very succulent and juicy. Wonderful service, and atmosphere. Super classy and a wonderful fine dinning choice.
We had an amazing experience at Bandar’a restaurant. The restaurant offers high quality Persian food with wonderful service. This is an upscale dinning with really delicious food. The food was on pricey end, but totally worth it. Great Jooeh Kabob , good koonideh and very tender Batg Kabob. We also
Superior good quality and service and large food portions. Loved chicken Kebab, Koobideh, and Barg.
Beautiful restaurant.
I hoped they put the 20% tip on costumer decision not already included on the receipt.
Overall, great taste!
