"If you're looking to add a little exotic adventure to your North Beach dinner plans, this is the place to go." Full review

"Persian expat favorite for more than 20 years. Elegant, understated dining room just off chaotic corner of Grant and Green amidst a sea of Italian bistros."

"At Maykedeh–a name referring to Persian taverns of yore where poets and mystics converged to dine and drink- gracious service and generous portions abound."

"A fairly traditional Persian outpost amidst the sea of North Beach trattorias, this is the best place in the area for chicken kebabs... and lamb shanks."
