Woooow, this is the most delicious Iranian food I have ever had in the US. I tried Tahchin and beef kebob(koobide) and chicken koobide. Enjoy the food. The owner Ali is a spectacular guy. I went back the very next day and tried Tahchin, Ash, and 7-30 kebab. Agian, amazing dishes.
This is a MUST in San Diego! Amazing Koubideh, Jigar, and Halim!!! A wonderful experience of street food with a high level restaurant quality food, and a friendly service by the owner/chef! Stop by and enjoy the best Koubideh you can find in SoCal! Great takeout option, but we enjoyed the casual food truck style service there, too! Stop reading and go give it a try!
This is my new favorite Persian food in San Diego. When we walked up we were greeted by a couple who drove down from Escondido specifically to eat here (one of them was Persian), and they helped us navigate the menu and the chef's specialties. Everything here is fresh, flavorful, and masterfully prepared and seasoned. Even small details like the salad; the greens are fresh and crisp, the sauce is beautifully bright and savory without being overbearing. We tried basically all the meats, and they were all exceptional. Standout favorites were the koobideh (chicken and then beef), which sounds like a cop-out but no, I've had a LOT of koobideh in my time and this is something else. The liver was also excellent, but be sure you like liver! The chef-owner is welcoming, warm, and generous. Being a food truck, you will be eating either sat over a transformer on the side of the road, or in a converted RV. We loved it, being used to street food, so this was right up our alley.
Perfect, delicious Persian food, especially the chicken! Best chicken juje I have ever had!! But of course the beef kabob kubideh and fish mahi kabob was wonderful as well. The rice paired lavishly with saffron. The salad refreshing. Very homey and amazing owner, amazing conversations heart-to-heart with Ali, an amazing human.
For the first time in San Diego, I am trying this incredibly delicious Persian food. The taste is extraordinary. I highly recommend this place because of its food and excellent services.
The food was just great, the taste of Shirazi Ash took me to my childhood, AMAZING!!! Soltani was so yummy too... The owner, Ali agha is so friendly!
I got the combo plate and was absolutely incredible, seriously mouthwatering! But what really made this food truck stand out was the genuine warmth and hospitality of the owners. Overall, it was a perfect 10/10 experience! If you're looking for amazing food, this is the place to be. I highly recommend giving it a try!
Ordered beef kabob, salmon kabob, ground chicken and grilled chicken kabob. The owner even gave us some Persian stew to try and it was delicious.
