Maykadeh

I’ve been to this place for 2 times, actually before and during the pandemic. It was long time ago where I didn’t even give a shzt about writing meal reviews. Anyway, the experience was very nice, can’t compare with others coz I didn’t have lots of experience on Persian food. Just to share something good when you feel good and the food actually very tasty. I hope to see all these good restaurants being able to survive and continue to serve their good food to us! Long live good food!

This place offers authentic Iranian cuisine at standard San Francisco prices. The portions are petite, (perfect for someone who isn’t a big eater) and the quality of the food is excellent. The service was attentive and pleasant. However, I’d probably think twice about returning, mostly due to the parking situation and the overall feel of the area.

Honestly the most amazing restaurant I’ve ever been to. The food was phenomenal (lamb chops) shishilik and koobideh and the mastokhiar!!!! The drinks were made with love and customer service from Rolando was amazing!!!! Music playing made you want to get up and dance ❤️ the owner was the greatest of all. I would highly recommend going you’ll enjoy every second of their amazing food and atmosphere!!

I wish I could rate this extremely valuable Persian restaurant with more than 5 stars. Personally, I cannot resist Ghormeh Sabzi at Maykadeh restaurant. It is one of the most popular meals in Persian cuisine. The taste is amazing. Only those who are familiar with Persian cuisine can understand what I am talking about. Maykadeh restaurant is the oldest Persian restaurant in San Francisco and the entire USA. The manager of this precious Persian restaurant has been running this business for 43 years. All the staff at this Persian restaurant work tirelessly, almost every day, to ensure their customers enjoy the highest-quality Persian food. Mr. Mahmoud Khossoussi, who is the manager of this restaurant, is a very nice person. He is a true Gem shining in this precious Persian restaurant.

As a Persian, I have high standards when it comes to Persian food, and Maykadeh absolutely delivered. The flavors were incredibly authentic — rich, well-balanced, and exactly how Persian food is meant to taste. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, from the perfectly cooked meats to the fragrant rice and stews that tasted truly homemade. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service made the experience even better. It’s rare to find a place that captures the soul of Persian cuisine so genuinely, and Maykadeh does it effortlessly. This is the kind of restaurant you proudly bring friends to when you want to show them what real Persian food is. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be back.
