Darband Mediterranean Restaurant

"I am writing this because the people were just too helpful and considerate not to give a shout out. Today I tried the joojeh wrap, lamb wrap, and the falafel plate. Highly recommend the falafel as it was warm and would melt into my taste buds and definitely was an exceptional serving size for the price. The lamb was also fresh, which was great to experience since a lot of middle eastern restaurants would be slightly disappointing with that!! Great people and great environment all around, nice place and garden to sit around for socializing and even peaceful dining."

"Incredible Persian food. Amazing back patio. The best Persian in the Bay Area."

"YES! First rate Shawarma in Berkeley. Longing for a place to replace The Halal Guys, on center street, one of my favorite shawarma places despite the fact that it had become more of a fast food joint before it closed, I wandered into epicurious garden as I occasionally do, and saw the sign for Darband. Encouraged by the fact that they were fresh cooking skewers of meat over hot coals, and chopping up fresh vegetables and herbs, I ordered their lamb shawarma wrap, and was blown away. 100% fresh, with a delicious wrap skin, a spicy yogurt sauce, tender and succulent Lamb with just a little bit of char the way I like it, and lettuce and tomato, Garband has a 100% rating in the shawarma game, and I will be coming back for sure. Really well done! It's not common that this neighborhood would have a shawarma spot, I hope the lovers of Middle Eastern food who like to get wraps. And other delicious Middle Eastern food check it out!"

"Delicious Persian food on the go! Wraps were great and loved the quality of the ingredients. Meat is super fresh and well marinated. Appreciated the authentic drinks as well - try the teff one. Super refreshing on a hot day and healthy!"
