North Beach, San Francisco ยท restaurant
A North Beach institution since the early 1980s, Maykadeh fills a warm dining room with traditional Persian cooking that doesn't simplify itself. Lamb tongue and pache share the appetizer menu alongside kashke bademjan and hummus. The koobideh and barg kebabs are the centerpiece orders, arriving on skewers over saffron rice, and the room has stayed reliably full for four decades.
