Darbari Persian Grill - Costa Mesa

We had timid with three stews, Kashk Bademjaan and Borani. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly.

There are some good Persian restaurants in OC, but Darbari is undoubtedly the best. I've been ordering this restaurant for a while. I give them five stars for their food quality, taste and super friendly staff. You're never disappointed.

The beef koobideh is lip smackingly good, fluffy rice and a well grilled tomato, no onion like other places I've been to but not a big deal, and a little bit more of the pita would be cool but all said and done great experience.

Never been here before, everything was clean and well presented. Hostess took me to my seat. I asked her what was the Darbaris most sought after dish. She told me the rack of lamb so thats what I got, cooked medium rare. The meal arrived with big heaping side of rice and a roasted tomato. The lamb has cooked to perfection, tender, not chewy, pre cut displayed along the rice. The lamb marinate was top notch! It hit the spot. Even ate all the rice, I was hungrier than I thought. If the lamb was this good in sure everything else is amazing. They offer take-out also. Loved it, must try again!

Wonderful little restaurant. Prompt service, friendly staff, low key atmosphere and excellent food! Anyway, it'll be back.
