“We went there for an office lunch based on a recommendation from a colleague and we loved it. The place is quite big with seating upstairs as well as outdoors (covered). We were lucky to get a table even without a reservation and would recommend getting one before making it there. The food was delicious and very flavorful. I tried the Adas Polo rice for an add-on price instead of the included Saffron Rice (again on recommendation) and was not disappointed at all. I’ve been to so many Persian restaurants but this rice option is not available everywhere. I tried the Koobideh Kabob today and it was pretty filling and couldn’t finish it. Definitely a must visit for Mediterranean/Persian food lovers.”

“I had my birthday lunch at Yalda on October 26th, 2025. The whole experience was pleasant and inviting. They allowed us to decorate the dining area to fit my birthday vibe (see pictures). Our hostess Chelsea was phenomenal. I had gone earlier in the week to see the restaurant and she was kind and accommodating. Diego our server was just outstanding. He was attentive, considerate and friendly. He accommodated our requests with smile. Then there was CJ the valet and amazing human! The Food- Oh so delicious and flavorful. I would highly recommend Yalda.”

“This is my second time dining at Yalda specifically for lunch, and I really enjoyed it. Overall, the food was very tasty and great quality. My friend and I ordered 3 items from the lunch menu to split and it was more than enough. The salmon wrap is excellent and I recommend ordering this because they typically only have it on the lunch menu. It is served with seasoned fries and a savory dipping sauce. Loved! The Chenjeh (grilled sirloin) was excellent. We ordered it medium rare and it was perfectly cooked. Overall, I do recommend Yalda but I will say that Rumi’s kitchen still reigns supreme for Persian cuisine. I would rank Delbar #2. Excellent service here and the aesthetic is totally on point!”

“A nice Persian restaurant with fabulous interiors. They have a mezzanine seating and covered outdoor seating. We need to make reservations to get a table as it becomes crazy busy. The staff are very welcomimg, patient and will go beyond to explain the menu, suggest items and check on the food. The presentation of the food is top notch. Each and every dish is meticulously arranged. The starters are within a nice price range but entreees go beyond 15. Food is very good; tasty and fresh. The drinks and desserts have a separate menu. Try anything with pickled mushrooms and you will have no complaints.”
