3.6/5.0
5 reviews

Darband serves Persian cuisine in a comfortable, cafe style setting. Food is not halal on certain days, so you will have to ask. Plenty of paid parking on weekdays but parking is free on weekends. Darband is located close to Balboa and is very convenient for after meal events in Balboa or downtown San Diego.  Added on January 25, 2004 and last updated 10 months ago

★★★★★  My husband and I moved to San Diego 3 weeks ago and were looking for a place close by to eat. We're both Persian and Darband was within walking distance. The food was great, the portions amazing--during ramadan around iftar time, they have a great soup, and a substantial starter that is offered to those that were fasting at no extra cost. The owner is incredibly nice and while the atmosphere is not upscale, it kind of has a nostalgic Iranian kabobi feel to it that we love! The owner also recently informed me that they are in the process of remodeling the area next door and hopefully will be improving the atmosphere as well. If the place wasn't halal, ramadan would not be important to the place, and after talking to the owner, I don't have any doubts about the fact that the food is zabiha. We have been here 3 times since we first visited and would definitely go back again!

  The owners are known Muslims yet no one there wears a hijab and I don't see any certificate of authenticity for the food being halal. Don't trust it.

★★★★★  I was in San Diego for a conferance and wanted to try a halal restaurant. I called and verified that it was halal. We went there and the food was really good. I ordered Chicken Shish Kobab,. The portions were too large.. and i could not even finish all of it. I highly recommend and would go back if ever come back to San Diego.
