Review of Maykadeh Restaurant

During our visit to San Francisco, the whole family craved a Persian meal. So we went to Maykadeh just to be disappointed 4 folds.
- When we entered, we found the place unbearably hot. When I asked if their AC was broken, The owner said "oh no, it is 72 degrees" and just turned on the overhead fan. If it was not for my kids who were hungry at the time, I would have turned around and left. 1 - The environment was bad.
- I believe the food was prepared by an oriental chef - not Persian to know what the food should be like. It was horrible. Nothing like what we were expecting from Persian food that we have been accustomed to. 2 - The food was bad to put it mildly.
- When the owner left the restaurant with an elderly gentleman (possibly his dad), then the staff started on drinking wine and having their own little party. We had to keep asking for service. 3 - So you could say the service was bad.
- The price for the food quality and service was way too high. Also, they serve sodas in small glasses so you need refills. Of course, these guys also charge for the refills. 4 - The dining was overpriced.
We were extremely disappointed as well as some of us grossed out at the quality of the food. If I knew all this, I would have definitely picked another restaurant.
