Lavash
Persian
Persian cooking is rare in San Francisco, and Lavash has been one of the city's few serious addresses for it. The kebab plates arrive piled over rice on wide sheets of flatbread, which is both a practical move and a slightly theatrical one. The tahdig, all crackle and crust, is the thing regulars come back for. Tables spill into a roofed parklet when the Sunset fog cooperates, which is optimistic but charming.

Tahdig
“Tahdig ($14), Iran's famous crisp-bottomed rice dish, is fabulously crunchy, and comes with a dollop of stew (your choice) that softens it up just right.”
San Francisco Chronicle -
Zereshk polo
“Lavash's jeweled rice dishes include the sour and savory zereshk polo ($22), studded with dried fruits and imbued throughout with a mouth-watering chicken aroma.”

Kebabs
“Don't miss the kebabs, a collection of showstopper dishes of grilled items piled with rice atop humongous sheets of lavash bread.”
