The overall experience was exceptional with a very nice dinning experience. Everything we ate from the humus, salad, juicy chicken, and dessert was very delicious. Baran has now become my favorite Mediterranean restaurant.

I made reservations for dinner before a show on a Saturday night for a table for two. We were seated about 15 minutes past our reservation time as it appeared that there was a large group. It just so happened. They also had live music as well. It did take the server a while to attend to us after being seated, but after we placed our order things went pretty quickly. We tried their samosas as an appetizer, which was decent. I feel like there was seasoning lacking. We shared a Baran baron special salad which was pretty delicious, but had too much dressing especially too much lemon in it. I would recommend that you get the dressing on the side. It was pretty much all at the bottom of our bowl. We also shared a chicken shish kabob plate with rice. The chicken was very juicy but overall again it seemed like there was a lack of seasoning or flavor. Our server was patient with us considering we had never been here before. Overall, it was a good first time here but it didn't stick out as a place I would return to.

They are amazing about all aspects of their services. Best spot for Mediterranean foods.

Stopped in to treat myself to a solo dinner and despite having no reservation and them being booked, the staff was so friendly and accommodating and allowed me to Dine at the bar. Even though I was happy to be seated quickly, it did feel like they forgot to check in on us bar patrons for a bit but I know they were gearing up for an influx of reservations so I get it. Beautiful interior, great atmosphere. The bar was gorgeous and they had holiday movies playing for a lovely vibe. Food was pretty good. I started with samosas which were very flavorful but felt a bit too salty. Then finished up with filet mignon shish kabob cooked to perfection. I did feel like the plate was a little bit unbalanced and would have loved to see a smaller portion of rice with salad as I usually do with mediterranian plates, but still good plate for the price. Also felt like it could've used a side of hummus or tzaziki, especially since the complimentary bread was boring with just butter, so I ordered hummus but it was such a large side I wasted half of it and felt pretty bad about it. Also had a pretty good pomegranate cocktail. So even though the steak was melt in your mouth delicious I don't think the overall experience was 5 stars but I do recommend giving this place a try.

Overall, it is an amazing on all aspect of their service. food quality and customer service is unique and beyond the norm. Navid and Elnaz have created an amazing environment and an unmatchable brand. I would highly recommend their services which includes dinning at the restauran, special events and event planning. Their customer service and integrity is notable in every aspect of their interactions and they will work with you to assure the ultimate experience for you and your guests.

Everything came out piping hot and juicy. Great service and good atmosphere. Must try their house salad. Can't go wrong with any of the food.

I've been looking for a good Persian restaurant in the OC for a while and had bookmarked Baran. I've tried a few and Baran is the best so far. Amir waited on us and he was so seeet and friendly. He gave us a few suggestions about their most popular dishes, and he tended to us very well. Their tahdig with ghormeh sabzi was delicious. We ordered the salmon with the herbed rice the Naderi kabab, and the lamb chops. Everything was very tasty! Amir told us that on weekends, they have live music and they also host various events throughout the week. Will definitely frequent Baran when we come to the OC again!

My 1st time dining here for my friend's bday dinner Friday 10.04.24 Made reservation over the phone. Associate was really friendly and informative. Restaurant was filled on a Friday night. We ordered entrees and all shared it like family style. Server was nice to put it like a family style platter for all of us to share. Food was good for Mediterranean especially the rack of lambs, filet mignon barg & beef koobideh were all tender & very flavorful. It's a beautiful elegant restaurant with modern and very chic vibes. Crystal chandeliers. FYI Corkage fee is $ 15 for a 750 ML bottle of wine ONLY. No 1 Liter allowed per associate while making the reservation. They offer complimentary bday dessert. It's a Mediterranean Sweet Dessert. On Friday & Saturday. They offer live entertainment. They also offer weekdays lunch buffet special. Would love to check it out and visit during lunch for their buffet. Located in "THE PROMENADE" In Anaheim. Same plaza as Jersey mikes, California fish grill, Starbucks, Golden spoon and a lot of other Business in the complex . It's located in the back and a bit hidden. More towards the railroad tracks. Lots of parking available. TIP- YELP CK IN offer, free cold appetizer.

My family ate here last night, and I have to admit, everything was great! If you check in on Yelp, you can get any cold appetizer for free. I tried the chicken koobideh, beef koobideh, beef shish kabob, zerekh polo (the one with the berries), samosa, and hummus. All three meats were cooked perfectly and were juicy. Even so, the next day, being warmed up in the microwave. I substituted my regular basmati rice with the rice with berries. There is a $3 surcharge for that, but for me, it was worth it. The dishes are mostly all above $20, but the quality of food and quantity, along with the live music on weekends, is well worth it. The service was amazing, with people checking in to make sure we had what we needed at all times. They do add a 20% service charge for large parties.
