Darband Fifth Avenue Grill

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Darband in Little Italy, located in downtown San Diego. The experience was nothing short of amazing. Our server, Hussein, was outstanding - his service was both warm and professional. The food is a highlight, offering a symphony of flavors in every bite. The meat dishes stand out for their superb quality and taste, and the appetizers, especially the hummus, are simply delightful. Every dish we tried was fresh, tasty, and well-prepared. Darband is a gem that provides a memorable dining experience, leaving us completely satisfied. Highly recommend for a taste of excellence!

Really good Persian food. Succulent grilled lamb shank with a mountain of basmati rice for only $22 and salmon kebab for $17 make for a filling lunch in Little Italy. Nice to have a delicious alternative to the ubiquitous Italian cuisine. Cheers!

Exceptional service paired with delectable, perfectly cooked food. The juicy, generously portioned dishes truly deserve a resounding five-star rating for this fantastic dining experience.

The food is delicious.. it’s so yummy.. it’s perfect more than perfect. The restaurant is clean, beautiful, spacious and comfortable. The guys are so friendly, they are so nice and polite.

It’s a nice Persian restaurant in San Diego. If you’re looking for a kebab plate and Mediterranean style kebab, it was very delicious. Kobideh kebab and chicken kebab was very juicy and yummy. The guy his name was Hosein he was very sweet and we all enjoyed the company.
