"I went for dinner. Interior was clean and comfortable. The food
was delicious. I ordered Fesenjan and loved it. It is made of
walnuts and pomegranate. Portions were large, and each entree came
with a HUGE plate of delicate, fluffy basmati rice. Two dishes and
an appetizer was too much food for the two of us to finish. Free
bread was good; Didn't have room for dessert. The wine by the glass
is a great deal... the pours are generous."

"I would have never
come here w/o your organizing the UYE. It was such a good lunch and
I would have never thought it was a buffet with the quality of the
food. The chicken (several different styles) were all very tender
and flavorful. And the other selections of four different types of
rice, dips, bread, salad.... all great in my opinion. I would agree
as we were discussing at lunch that this is a place that is OK if
you slept in and were needing a meal at that weird hour of after
lunch, but too early for dinner? So if you are hunting around Costa
Mesa for a 2pm-5pm place... this is it! I felt like when we were
leaving at 2pm, like Rick W said.... the place started to get filled
with more people (obviously in the know) and freshly cooked food.
Enjoy!" Lisa V. From Costa Mesa, CA |

"If you like Persian
food or would like to try it for the first time, I highly recommend
Orchid. Whether you get the buffet or order off the menu, there is
something for everyone, including many choices for vegetarians. I
particularly enjoy all the different rice dishes, the appetizers,
and chicken koobideh. The fresh bread made on the premises is
awesome with the eggplant or yogurt dip or simply with some butter
and a slice of onion. The butter, onion, and sumac powder is also
tasty mixed into the heaps of basmati rice that come with your meal.
How do Persians eat so much rice? The portions are enormous! I
like the take the leftovers home for lunch the next day.
Service is very friendly, prices are reasonable, place is so clean
and the restaurant is really big, so I've never had to make a
reservation. If you come late at night there is live music and the
Persian families boogie down on the dance floor." Amy K. From

"Ihave been going to
this place since I was a little kid. I love their food, I love
bringing new people here. The lavash (bread) is wonderful. the
servers will bring you as much of it as you like. It is very good
with the butter and raw onion. Try it. The koobideh kabob is great
and only like $10. For an appetizer, the Eggplant Borani is
outstanding. The best time to go is later in the evening on weekend
nights. Nothing better than the persian singer/keyboarder and the
drunk Persians dancing around." Zizi B. From Santa Monica |
