We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Baran Restaurant last night. Everything was just top-notch. The food quality was superb, and you could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. The way they served each dish was elegant and the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. We also loved the live music that added a really relaxing vibe to the whole evening. And honestly, for the quality you get, the prices are very reasonable. A big thank you to Mr. Reza for his professional service as well. Overall, it’s a perfect five-star spot, and we’ll definitely be back!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Baran Restaurant in California, and I must say it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt inviting and comfortable. The restaurant is beautifully maintained—clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed. The staff immediately made us feel welcome, greeting us with such kindness and friendliness that it truly set the tone for the entire evening. The food was absolutely incredible. Every dish that came out was full of flavor, prepared with such care, and presented beautifully. You can really taste the freshness and quality in every bite. One of the things that stood out most was how timely everything was—the food was served promptly without us ever feeling rushed. The portion sizes were generous, and each plate delivered that authentic taste of Iranian cuisine that makes you want to savor every bite. I also love that Baran offers catering services. Their catering setup is spotless, organized, and designed with a unique, elegant touch—perfect for private events or special occasions. On top of that, the restaurant has the cutest outdoor area, which makes dining there feel extra special, especially on a nice day. Altogether, Baran Restaurant is the perfect place if you’re craving authentic Iranian food in a warm and welcoming setting. Between the delicious dishes, the exceptional service, and the charming ambiance, this restaurant is a gem. I will definitely be returning soon, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

An amazing surprise feast tucked in the back corner of the parking lot…so worth it! Nazanin is the best server ever. The lamb chops were so delicious and enough for lunch tomorrow too!

Loved everything about Baran. Ordered the family platter for 4. We were 4 adults and 2 kids. It was more than enough for us. Nice bar. Very clean. Friendly staff. Very nice outdoor space for big groups. Owner Naveed is a very friendly person. We will be back.

What a fantastic lunch we had there! The place looked great… nice enough to impress if you had an important appointment. The service was really good without being intrusive. Everything was made fresh and cooked to order. The juicy chicken was flavourful but we loved the Adas polo so much! The rice was really fluffy and tasty. Definitely going back
