Patogh Restaurant — Restaurant in Turlock

I had a wonderful experience here with my mom, and besides the food being wonderful, the staff were wonderful too. I had kashk-e badamjan, dolma, beef soltani, and zereshk polo. The dolma (a filling wrapped in grape leaves and stewed) were my mom's favorite and I loved the kashk-e badamjan (an eggplant dip made with dried, fried mint, fried onions, and topped with keshk, which is a salty fermented whey product, a Persian analog to yogurt). The beef soltani, which is tri-tip and koobideh (ground meat formed around a skewer and cooked) was very yummy and very generous. The chicken was perfectly cooked in the zereshk polo (a dish made with saffron and burberries - somewhat like a dried cranberry, sour and sweet) and very tender and juicy. .The service was on point as well. It was really soooo good. It's an awesome surprise to find such good Persian food...

The warm feeling you get from this family owned and operated little hidden gem is outstanding. I’ve been here a few times and the mother-daughter-son trio is pretty special.

When I say made from scratch, I’m talking everything! All the appetizers, the yogurt, the hummus, even the baklava is all handmade in house. There isn’t anything on the menu that isn’t made from scratch. Even the sugar cubes are made from scratch. Their kabobs are above and beyond! I recommend the Chicken Combo and the Beef Soltani that has the beef barg with koobideh. After just a few visits I feel like I’ve known these people for years. They take care of you like...

This was our first visit to Patogh Restaurant in Turlock CA, and sure enough we will go there for lunch whenever we will be in Turlock in the future, as We were so very impressed by the quality of food and the taste. Moreover the place was so clean and nice. The hostess was super kind and polite and helped us with our choice. We ordered two appetizers which were both delicious. Then we had three different kinds of Kebobs. The meat was very tender and tasty and not too greasy. Obviously they had served us the best choice of meet. All this was accompanied by fresh and very clean herbs and onions and of course the house made Dough (Cool Yoghurt drink) which was served in very cute jars. In short we had the best Kabobs in...
