OK Greatest Deal EVER!!!!6 Dollars for Awesome Iranian Buffet!! This includes a Drink!I was extremely surprised about this place. Not only is the food excellent but the manager and staff are awesome!Rice, Salads, Hummus, Kabobs, Chicken and More. You have to check this place out!!!You literary just show up grab a plate and sit down. Although this place does have a Menu, and you can of course order from the Menu, but did I mention 6 dolla buffet.I loved every minute!There are also hookahs lined up in the front. But do not get me wrong this is not your valley's hookah bar. One of friend's dad comes here all the time. The manager even allows for her to keep a tab, since her father comes to the restaurant constantly. This is one of the biggest steels in the valley. 6 Dollars All you Can Eat Buffet. Amazing Authentic Middle Eastern Cuisine and Genuinely Nice Staff!!Can't wait to come back here!!

This little middle eastern cafe just opened in early 2009 and is in the strip of buildings next to Ross @ Ventura Vanalden. I was on the lookout for a good all you can eat kebab lunch buffet since some of my other favorite spots had become next to impossible to find a parking spot and/or table at. There is a parking lot with ample parking there or park by Ross, no crazy parking along Ventura. This place is a great quiet lunch spot, probably because not many people have heard of it yet. They have a dinner menu but I have not tried it yet, but if their dinner is half as good as their lunch buffet I'm sure its awesome as well. Their lunch buffet ( 11-3 M-F) is the best value I have seen in the valley if you love kebabs. When you walk in its a quiet and clean dining room with new modern decor,beautiful hookahs lined up neatly near the door, a TV and a large table overflowing with food ( see review below). Rather then leave a bunch of food out in the open to get cold or even worse under a heat lamp the cook constantly brings kebabs fresh from the grill to refill the chafing dishes as needed. My vegetarian sister in law raves about their salad, hummus and tabouli and considers the lunch still a great value to her. You just go get a plate, dish up, sit down and right away the owner or his wife will come ask what drink you'd like (drink IS included in the buffet price). Theres also seating inside as well as outside if you prefer. Both owners are really nice to talk to and they really make you feel welcome. I really enjoy asking them questions about middle eastern cuisine and where they get some of their ingredients since I'd like to learn to make great persian food as well someday. Very kid friendly, I could bring my kids and they would ask they kids how their day was going and made them feel welcome too. Because my kids are so young ( 4 2) they barely eat 1 kebab between the 2 of them with a little bit of rice and some cucumbers, and they never charged for the kids eating- ( I think this is their policy for small kids, but I was eating lunch there 2-3 times a week.) Way healthier then a kids meal any day! For the comfortable atmosphere, great food and great price I eat here for lunch as often as I can make an excuse to be in the valley.
