Paradise Kabob — Restaurant in San Diego

I enjoyed a tasty Kobideh Kabob Wrap from this Middle Eastern Eatery. The wrap came with a single flame grilled ground sirloin kebab, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and parsley, and a tasty homemade sauce. You can choose between lavish or pita bread. I had the lavish and the meal also came with a side of what looked and tasted like tzatziki sauce for $12.99 plus tax.

The sirloin kebab was well seasoned and offered a very good beef flavor. It was also tender. The house sauce in the wrap was delicious and so was the yogurt sauce on the side. The lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were fresh.

The area the wrap needed improvement was the lavish bread. It was cold on arrival, so not only was it cold but had a slight dry texture. The wrap after it has been wrapped spending thirty seconds on each side would have made a huge difference.

To elevate the dining experience, focusing on fresher ingredients, refining service, and enhancing the environment would go a long way in making guests feel welcomed and...

Absolutely amazing Iranian food! If you’re looking for authentic Persian cuisine, this place is a must-visit. The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service is just as excellent as the food. Whether you’re familiar with Iranian dishes or trying them for the first time, this is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly...
