    Incredible food and fantastic service! Being Persian, we have high standards for Iranian cuisine, and Komaaj completely blew us away. The food and drinks were exceptional. We would absolutely come back to San Francisco just to dine here again. Highly recommended.

    We were walking from SFMOMA and were late - called and then the hostess remembered me when I checked in. We sat outside, having to move once due to the sun. She kept smiling! Our waiter was very accommodating and prompt. The shared fattoush salad was our first and it did not disappoint - so fresh and practically every bite had a different taste - so many ingredients. Spiced beef dumplings and baklava good, too. Nice to see a very busy restaurant on a Friday afternoon in the financial district. We'll be back.

    The shish taouck and the lamb chops were both so tender and delicious! The sampler was excellent. Would definitely order the same again next time we go back.
