SO DELICIOUS, get the Persian hamburger 1000% really good. My first time trying lamb meat but this is so delicious and their bread is so toasty

Persian Burger is excellent and the Fallafel sandwich is a great vegetarian meal.

The best burger (mushroom) I’ve ever eaten in the Bay Area. In n’ out, Shake Shack, Habit’s, Gotts etc. can’t hold a candle to this place.

For many years we’ve been coming here—though not always to this exact location. We usually went to their other location, but this one is just as good. We always order the Persian burger, and it’s delicious every time. For the past 18 years, whenever we drive from Sacramento to San Francisco, we always stop by here. I really recommend this place. The Persian lady who works at this location was very nice and friendly, and the other staff were great too.

The burger is HUGE, I didn't expect that and with tons of sesame seed on the bun, the fresh hot fries is good. EXCELLENT service with smiling friendly staff. Definately coming back for more. Parking is a bit challenging but with walking distance there's plenty in the residential side area for 2 hours parking.

The mushroom burger with tzatziki sauce is probably my favorite burger of all time. This is one of the places I miss after I moved away. Convenient location for locals and students, maybe not for parking.

Persian Burger for life ! We have been coming here for 35 years … 35 years of solid delivery , portions never changed , prices obviously went with inflation. I wish there was a bongo burger all over the US! You guys are amazing !!!! Thank you !!!

The mushroom burger was truly scrumptious. Additionally, the Onion rings were crispy and plain. My family was content with their meals as well. I am eager to revisit the restaurant next time.

Usually, I'm not a fan of burgers, but their burgers here are great! 🍔 The sauce is smooth and tasty, patty is not stiff nor toasted, and the buns are crispy! No wifi but staff are nice 😌 # Mushrooms Burger

High school memories: This was our to go spot for lunch and the group kick spot. We really enjoyed the burgers here always try number 2 or 4. Love the taste

This was a really nice place to duck in and grab a burger and fries, but they also have falafel and domas! I ordered the bacon burger and can confirm that it is delicious. The fries were also crinkle cut and crisp, and they offered Sri racha to mix into our ketchup (YESSSS). Definitely a great stop for lunch if you're in the area.

How can something that looks like a Subway sandwich taste so good? I got the Persian (lamb) burger and was surprised that it didn't look like a typical burger. When I look a bite though, it didn't really matter what it looked like. I got it without the condiments and it was still full of flavor! The lamb is really tender and cooked well. My only thing was that it was a tad salty. Good thing you can only get it in a combo meal so it came with a soda which I think goes really well with burgers. I'm usually not a crinkle fries person, but the fries were really good. Overall, the whole Persian burger combo meal was really good. i would recommend.

Great turkey burger, the closest to a beef burger you can get in Berkeley.

I have heard about this restaurant from friends so I went to try it, it is a sit-eat-and-go place I have tried the Persian burger and it taste good it looks like a kafta kabab taste. As a Lebanese and food lover I was impressed with the hummus the taste was good but the Tabboule didn’t meet my expectations because you shouldn’t have cucumber and lettuce as also it needs more lemon juice. It was a nice experience, and I would go again if got the chance.

Came to Berkeley to visit a friend at UCal and wanted either pizza or a burger. We obviously chose burger! The restaurant isn't really a hole in the wall but almost is at the same time. It was a tight fit during lunch but we made it work. The food was very authentic west coast burger joint burgers. They also had one side of the menu that was for all "odd" or normally "off menu" items you don't normally get in a burger joint such as hummus and wraps. They had a decent amount of vegan and vegetarian options as well. The crinkle fries reminded me a lot of home in Indiana on the farm when we made them. You definitely get a bang for your buck. The portions are fine. Not too much but not too little. I recommend visiting at least once.

I gave 4 stars instead of 5 stars because I dint like Kabab and Persian meal served with fries. We had a steak sandwich. They are pretty plain, but steak was soft. The Persian plate has a nice flavor, but I was disappointed with regular salad and ranch sauce and sriracha sauce and fries. It is just not Persian meal at all. My husband said the Shish Kabab is delicious and tasty though. I appreciate the friendly staff and fast service though. Place is nice and clean which is awesome.

staff are nice and the service is blisteringly fast. I got the black bean burger and it was delicious (lots of great vegetarian options here) though I do think it was a tad overpriced. Would definitely go again!

Persian burger is great. You have to have doogh. It's a bit on the spicy side though.

The burgers here are both good tasting and good-sized. Not too crowded. Prices are moderate for Berkeley -- I can't call it inexpensive at $10 -$12 for a midrange burger, fries, and a drink -- but definitely a few dollars less than what you'd pay for the same elsewhere in Berkeley.

Got eggplant sandwich to go. Portion size was good. Tastes okay. Ingredients were fresh. Fast service.

I thought it would be a good idea to try a new charbroiled burger joint; it was a bad idea. For 35 dollars I had ordered two meals. Both of them were made with stale bread and the fries were just as stale. The texture of everything was like that of rubberized chicken skin. To top it off, we didn't even get out drink. Definitely did not deserve a tip, and will not be going back seeing that one of us developed stomach issues after eating the food. I myself had to barf mine up. DISGUSTING.
