Reyhan Restaurant in San Jose

Excellent food. Loved the Fesenjan both veg and chicken are great Hole in the wall place.

This is the best Persian food in Silicon Valley. Tucked in a tiny oasis, the people here really care about others. On a street filled with auto body places and other light industrial businesses, theyve taken the time to create green space with a bird bath. Inside the people here care about what theyre doing. They greet you warmly, take care of you, and above all, feed you well. We got the rack of lamb, chicken kabob, a salad, and a dip. Its not cheap, but you absolutely get what you pay for. Absolutely delicious!

Very expensive and most of the food they give you is bulked up with mostly rice and bread. Very few vegetables too. It just doesnt feel like a complete meal with any amount of work put into it. Youre probably better off going to some other Mediterranean place for the same fare for better value, and meal completeness.

Delicious Persian food. Great portions. I had take out and the rice and chicken was delicious.

Best persian food. Very friendly environment, very clean.

A hole in the wall kind of place. It could be much better than it is. The food is just ok. The spices were not much. The portion of the salmon was not much. The costumer service is no good. This lady have a bad attitude with us as a costumer. The prices are no good/dead flowers at the table/not really organized/clean. I asked to have half rice/half salad with my food instead of just rice. The price was already high. She wanted to charge me more for that. In other Persian restaurants they always agree to bring half of each(salad/rice). Also, they have a variety of herbs, cheese, nuts that come before the meal with a warm bread, but not at this restaurant! Very disappointed with Reyhan Restaurant!

Koobide was undercooked, no taste, and swimming in liquid/grease. Totally gross. This was the second time I ordered over the last 3-4 years, same problem both times.

The food is great and just perfect. Rey Jan is jewel in the rough. The owner is super and a people person. She always adds her special touch which makes the experience one to remember. Thank you.

Cute tiny restaurant with interesting tasty unique food unlike anything Ive ever eaten

Superb Iranian food. You are hearing it from someone who has lived in Iran and has had the real ethnic food. One of the best in the valley. Needless to say, representation of the food is superb also. You will not be disappointed. I’m going back to them.

My husband and I have eaten here almost 20 years combined and the food is always outstanding. The owner and her staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food has been consistently delicious and well cooked, every single time. This place is a true hidden gem in San Jose.

I hadnt been there for ba couple of years! I decided to get multiple meals to have different tastes! So delicious and great as left overs!

Nothing but positive things to say about this place. Customer service is always on point and very helpful when it comes to choosing what you want. My family and i have tried different restaurants and Nothing compares to Reyhan the quality of how the food is prepared and cooked is 100% well done.

The best Persian food in the South Bay, bar none. The koobideh kabobs are to die for. Don’t miss out on a menu item that’s listed as salad: the Persian feta cheese and herbs.DO NOT use the online order option listed on Google. That company is not associated with Reyhan and does not pay them for online orders. Just call the restaurant to order.

We were at. Rayhan restaurant two weeks ago, the owner and manager Ms. Azita was extremely gracias and generous, she provided the most delicious and freshest kebabs, and some complementary Tah Dig. It was Friday after noon around 1:00 pm, we ordered Koobideh and Joojeh kabob, we totally enjoyed the food and the service, the prices were reasonable and we ordered also Ghormeh Sabzi to go. She follows all professional protocols of the restaurant industry and it was a joyous experience, we are going there again this Friday needless to say that we live about one hour drive from where she is located at. I highly recommend Ryhan to all persian food lovers for delicious food and memorable experience.

We drive all the way from Pacific Grove to San Jose just to taste the food at Reyhan restaurant. I have tried every Persian restaurant in the Bay area and none of them come even close to what Reyhan has to offer. The food is just the best my wife and I have ever had. The quality is superb, the service is wonderful and the prices are amazingly low. I highly recommend Reyhan to anyone who wants to have a mouth watering Persian dish.

There are lots of ways to rate this category of restaurant especially in San Jose!Being from the Middle East you tend to gravitate towards kebabs no matter where you are. Luckily in San Jose, we have a few famous kebab places that are significantly better than others.I put Reyhan Restaurant at the top of all of them. At one point Negeen Restaurant was top choice and Chelokababi in Sunnyvale could not be beat. But these days, Im putting my money on Reyhan.A hole in the wall that you miss if you drive more than 30 miles an hour, this quaint restaurant is affordably priced and is consistently good in any of their foods.Other restaurants we use baking soda to fluff up their kebabs nothing like that here! Pure meat done right and affordably priced. In fact I want to say its even cheaper for you to get your kebabs here then to buy them yourself and make them home.But dont focus on the kids I was only youll miss out on all the stews and specialties on Saturdays and Sunday mornings, kaleh pacheh!Go ahead give it a try!! Youll be back for more...

Their food was for the most part good, but I got an appetizer (Tahdig or Crispy Ricewhich was all burnt.

Small quaint spot nestled in the middle of an industrial park. Kabob was juicy and the service is hella relaxed. Not a bad spot when you’re in the area and want a quick lunch. Only had the kubideh and it was decent.

We used to like this restaurant and their koobideh kabobs a lot. Today we went for dine in and guess what!! We found a hair in the bread basket... when I took it to the waiter he pretended that he couldnt see it.. nice try!! He finally saw the hair and said he will bring some new ones. He DID NOT APOLOGIZE!!then he served the food and there was a tiny curly blavk hair in the rice... I called the waiter and this time not only he didnt apologize but he didnt even seem to be surprised!! So that covers the service and the clranliness. As for the quality of food, IT HAS DROPPED! I have no idea why koobideh should be spicy? When has anyone eaten a hot and chilli koobideh??? I gave 1 star only because there is no way to give 0 star rating. We will never go back to Reyhan ever again. We paid over $61 for 2 koobideh and a skewer of chicken and a mast o moosir none of us ate the whole plate. Reyhan used to be good but please make sure you read all reviews before you go to this place.

This restaurant is normally very delicious and great service, however, today April 6, 2021 the person who answered my phone order was not clear and had trouble taking my order. When I arrived for pick up I noticed the order was incomplete so I added to my order what was missing. Only to arrive home and find out a complete order of beef was missing. The service from today is enough to keep me from continuing business here. Absolutely terrible!

This is the place for a great food and great service always smile for me like costumer and like friend i really everything they cook there fresh food all the time thank you so much for all that great food u guys do for me ...Finish body shop ... omar thanks :)

The best kabob koobideh that Ive had in the Bay Area. Thank you for being generous with the basil, too.Top tip: if you order a lot of meat, ask them to put some bread underneath your kabobs to soak up all the delicious kabob juices and youll be in for a real treat!

Outstanding chicken skewers and rice dish in an industrial part of old San Jose. Although they are busy filling orders, you can get in and out fairly quickly. Staff arent so much friendly as they are efficient.

Easily the best place for fesenjoon! It’s quite flavorful and the chicken is so tender. Wow. I got it with tahdig which is crispy rice wafers. So so good! Appreciated the extras like mint onion and pita. Great value and very high quality! Totally recommend.

Pretty clean for what it is. It looks very old though. There are only 6 tables. This is a pretty casual place to go. The reason I came here was because I was heading to the airport and wanted some Persian food, and this was the closest. The location just sucks, though the food quality is pretty good. If youre looking for a quick place to eat Persian food, this is a good place to keep in mind.

Great food. Restaurant was spotless, and staff were warm and attentive without beingn intrusive. Delightful lunch. Well be back!

Excellent kabab kobideh/ jojeh

Literally the best Persian restaurant in Bay Area.This place offers the best Kabab ever!Friendly atmosphere. Great food. Reasonable price. What else can you ask for?

Small place good for chicken, beef and fish kabob entrees. Not a place for people looking for veggie options.

Exceptionally delicious Persian food. No, exceptionally delicious food. Very cozy place. I got excellent service every time even though I was alone.

Go for the excellent beef koobideh and also get chicken Kabob to complement your koobideh ... All foods comes with fresh basil, onion and lavash bread. If you dont like their location or small casual place it is definitely worth it to place an order to go and make the trip to pick it up ... Highly recommended as the best Persian food in Bay area ...

This place is a GEM I tell ya!My fiance found this small restaurant. At first I thought it wouldnt be so great but I was fooled and Im glad I was! The shocker was the raw onion...I was like EW! (I instantly thought of Shrek who compared himself to an onion...dont ask why)...but the raw onion compliments the meat and rice so smoothly that you actually enjoy eating raw onion, its sweet, crunchy and juicy. (I know what youre thinking BUT give it a chance!Ive ordered the lamb plate and the koobideh (beef). Both meats are juicy, plump and full of flavor! Try their yogurt sauce, its to die for! 🤤 ..man...I want some now 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Not very good food. Last time I was there, the food quality was so bad. Also, the old woman who is the owner of the restaurant, has so bad attitude toward Persian people. Somehow it seems that she has mental issue I think.

Very quaint family restaurant serving authentic Persian food. Small, but very inviting. Great food and the owner is fantastic! Makes everyone feel at home.

We ordered Koobideh and chicken kabok.After the first bite of the chicken kabob I stopped eating it. The taste was too bad. I wonder how somebody can make chicken taste this bad. Sorry for being frank, but the chef should learn how to cook some of the dishes. The koobideh was edible even though did not taste good and smelled a bit.Finally, they charged us for everything even though we did not eat the chicken kabob after the first bite.Also, the place was very cold with bunch of noisy guys and gals. This would not bother me that much if the food was good.

Consistency in the quality and flavor of the food has gone down a bit in the past year. The last couple of times Ive been hete I was quite disappointed. It seems that now that the owner, now that she is giving more control of daily operations to the manager, with him the quality has gone down somewhat. When she (the owneris there, its much better.This use to be one of THE BEST places to get consistently delicious Persian food. Hopefully the quality doesnt continue to diminish. Wed love to keep this as our go to place as were have for many years.

Love this place. It’s small but if you like Persian food. This is your go to place. My favorite is the chicken kabob with zeresh pollo😋

Disgusting food even not cooked. Super rude the owner. After I got my food to home I realized the chicken barbecue wasnt cooked well and then she said put in microwave for 5 minutes. Dont waste your money here!

I am not a picky person about service, when you go to a restaurant you will concentrate on food, right? I can live with a so-so service, if you dont mind.Having said that this place is in the middle of nowhere when I was driving around with my foodie daughter and we decided to go for a taste of Persian. It turned out that we made a right decision,We were served with a plate of lavash bread and onion, mint and other nuts, almost like a platter for starter, it is a nice touch.The koobideh plates we ordered were delicious, very moist and tasty, some other places we ate before, the meats were too dry or have no taste at all.The rice was also very nice...Thanks, we will be back again soon...And, yes, the lady owner was a bit of a quite person and has an air of important, but then again, I dont care, all I am concentrating is the food.

I’d give it 0 stars if I could. They didn’t even seat us. It was just the two of us but all we were told is that they were too busy to even accommodate us. “Sorry” was what the owner said and turned us away.

Amazing food! Ordered the filet mignon. Large portion. I was absolutely stuffed. The spicy raw white onion was a nice touch. The baklava desert was delicious, too. It wasnt like the usual layered, buttered-up sheets baklava we get at Costco.

Once you are over the fact that the location is in the middle of a few junk yards, the food is very good, inside the ambiance is nice, service can be improved.

The kobedeh is Better than most Persian restaurants.... The only thing is the ambiance and area... So if you can get over that... I think you will enjoy the food....

My first time eating at the restaurant and i enjoyed their food so very much. Service was great, the owner served us too and shes soo nice. I will definitely go back.

Perfect kebabs, great meat quality, reasonable prices. Its a small place in not crowded area but delicious food in a homely atmosphere.

Despite the price, the food was amazing. I really liked it and the people were pretty nice. its a hidden jewel to eat persian/iranian food

Excellent kabob! The mast moosir was to die for! Cant wait to try their stews next time. Owner was super sweet and helpful.

The best quality Kabob in a cozy restaurant. I have tried almost every single Persian food place in the bay area and this one is the best of the bests. the owner works there and keeps the hospitality and quality of service high.There is nothing bad about this place.NOTE: IF you are a big party, remember they have limited space. take out is a better option for large parties.

If I wanna talk about only food it would definitely worth 5 stars.But the way that the lady who was the owner -I guess- acted, was very insulting and impolite.We did not felt welcome at all.The place was not clean enough either. It was dusty and sloppy. But the food and the prices are covering up for the negative issues.So go for it make your order TO GO!
