Small menu, but very authentic and with some great traditional dishes. All sorts of Kababs served with the saffron (real!) rice and roasted tomato. The meat was juicy and marinated in just the right spaices. The chicken was actually moist!!! Appetizers are great, (except the dolmas which they buy canned or frozen) the roasted eggplantwith delightful olive oil and yogurt. The noodles and herbs could almost be a main dish (or soup). On top dry mint and herbs...amazing. Every day a different Khoresh. We had the beef and preserved lemon and herbs. Meat soft and the sour lemon just right. Also a Zeresh Polo with the jeweled rice with barberries. Unfortunately no Zadich (burnt crust). Noodle dessert and the ice cream were yummy. Service friendly and the place very agreeable... enjoy!

It's the place that took over the site of Pete'n'Mom's Thai, right at the corner of Solano and San Pablo, little parking lot on the side that is impossible to get out of?

Shameless 'hounds will park in the BevMo lot... Thu Sep 30 20:45:40 -0700 2004 139274 0 Shep 1 139312 Yep, that's Zaytoon. We'll have to go back for a second try. Sounds like they've gotten better at what they're doing if the chicken was noticeably moist! Mon Sep 27 12:57:21 -0700 2004 139269 0 Alexandra
