What People Are Saying About Bandar Restaurant

In Short – A Middle-Eastern oasis in the heart of the Gaslamp, Bandar Restaurant serves traditional Persian fare in a sleek, simplistic setting. Modern décor and white washed brick walls aren't telling of this establishment's ethnic cuisine, but the rich aroma of spices tell a different story. For a refreshing start, order the yogurt dip with cucumber and mint. Known for Kabobs, the filet mignon or chicken marinated in saffron lemon sauce are served with Basmati rice. – –
They served us stale beef

I will surely never eat here again, nor do I recommend it to anyone else. I went because of good reviews from a magazine in my hotel room. If you've seen this magazine, do not believe it. Believe most of the ratings you see here on this website. That article must have been written a while ago and maybe when this restaurant was under previous management. The food really was tasteless and my wife and I were sold filet mignon that tasted really old and overcooked; and it was supposed to be cooked medium. Our waiter barely spoke English and it took about 15 mins just to get our order correct. We felt really ripped off because the meal was pricey. I can't remember the last time I felt that way at a restaurant. Don't know about Persian food, but if you like Spanish food, I highly recommend Sevilla also located on fourth street. The ambiance there is outstanding as well.
- Pros: absolutely nothing
- Cons: Poor food quality; tasteless; poor service
YUM!

The Adas Polo is to die for. The mixture of flavors are a perfect combination.
- Pros: the food
- Cons: parking
Best Persian Restaurant in San Diego

I looooove Bandar's chicken kabab and green salad. My husband can't get enough of the lamb shank mixed with the hummus avocado...we could eat it everyday!
The staff service is also always very friendly and dressed nicely.
