Co-workers took me here for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised to see a few vegetarian options on the menu. I ordered and liked the grilled veggies plate, though the veggies were a little bland. The place is being remodeled and smelled of fresh paint; should be very nice when done.

It was my first time having lunch at Bijan and let me tell you, the food was GREAT! I would highly recommend the Lamb shank with eggplants. It comes with Dill rice and its absolutely delicious.

Visited on Eid day for lunch, no wait time fairly empty. The service was decent and the ambiance was average. The food was delicious, we had the chelo Kabab koobideh, mixed chicken soultani & sides of hummus & bread. The hummus & Persian tea was phenomenal, will be visiting again.

There is renovation going on to make this a better dining experience, so for now, just tried to-go. Was not disappointed, I was craving filet tender meat with basmati rice, also opted to get the combo to try the chicken too. I loved the meat, and my husband got the chicken thighs and the house salad. Everything was good and we ate the leftovers the next day. Their basmatirice was cooked just right. I definitely will return. The bread wasn't my favorite, a little thin and chewy, but that was not what I was looking for, just the protein.

Just hosted a grad party here and let me tell you, food was great, service was fantastic! The whole set up was beautiful. I’m so upset I didn’t take picture of the wonderful food. I was just too busy hosting. Over all a good experience! I highly recommended.
