Reviews for Ziba Persian Restaurant in San Jose, CA
We are pretty picky about our Persian food and had never eaten here. We came with a friend that had been and said it had been... renovated and is under newer management since the pandemic. The ambiance was nice, clean, and chic and the kabob was superb!Our food was delicious and our server was very accommodating. We will definitely be returning and telling others! Read more

I come here with my Persian husband and his family for lunch or dinner for special occasions, most recently the other day. While... we have always enjoyed the food, yesterday it was absolutely exceptional and the service was top notch as well! My favoritedishes we tried were the eggplant appetizer, hummus appetizer, yogurt cucumber appetizer and the salmon kabobs. My toddlerespecially enjoyed the salmon, saffron rice, salad and hummus. We also ordered the chicken kabob, beef kabob and much more.Delicious and such an enjoyable restaurant experience. My only tip would be to ask for the chicken kabob to be a bit lessthoroughly cooked as it is quite tough/well done when cooked as ordered straight off the menu. I have seen this at many otherPersian restaurants too so this is probably the style/way it is supposed to be cooked? (I am not Persian myself, so I do notknow) but the grilled tomatoes on the kabob dishes were quite burned/charred/blackened... not my style and I worry aboutconsuming that char so I always remove it but this may just be a typical way to prepare tomato at Persian restaurants. Anyway,we had a fabulous time, fabulous and friendly service and delicious food! It was the best and most flavorful food experience Iever remember having at Ziba to date, and I have been coming there since 2015... the food has improved over time for sure/is atits best now. Thank you Ziba for the wonderful experience and tastes. Read more
Absolutely delicious Persian food, fresh, plentiful, flavorful. Friendly service. Nice clean environment.
I placed a 97$ order on DoorDash from this place. Once my food arrived the kabob was raw inside. I contacted the restaurant I... let them know that my food was underdone and the guy on the phone said next time "you should ask for it well done". I shouldn'thave to ask for my food to be well done if it was cooked all the way through. He then said needs to check something and put meon a 21 minute hold, after the 21 minute hold a manger got on the phone asked what was going on, once I told her that the foodwas raw she said "oh" idk how that happened, and said if I live close by and want to go pick 1 skewer of kabob that was underdone. If I wanted to go pick up the food then I wouldn't of DoorDashed it in the first place. It would cost me more to driveall the way there to go pick up the 1 skewer. She didn't even offer to replace what I had ordered. She also let me know that shecouldn't refund me my money because it was ordered through DoorDash. Lesson learned. Do not order from here.

This place is amazing! As soon as you walk in you can tell how clean & chic they are. I was excited to hear the selection of... music they were playing (a mix of modern and classic iranian). Everything our table ordered was incredible; this is coming fromsomeone who frequents persian restaurants. The presentation was immaculate and everything was cooked to perfection. Highlyrecommend!

As the husband of a picky Persian who moved to nearby Almaden, I immediately heard how we had moved away from all the good... Persian restaurants. Luckily for me, I found Ziba (means ‘beautiful’) and my wife really enjoyed our visit there. It’s acozy but classy restaurant with good food and their takeout is consistently timely and delicious.
