We frequently get take out from Zadana. Our normal order include the staple Persian foods: Baba Ghanouj, Falafel, Hummus, Greek salad, Tabbouleh and assorted mixes of kababs and Shwarma. The food here is very good. The quality and taste is much better than Shalizar which is another Persian restaurant in this area. Zadana's serving size is much more reasonable compared to that of Waterfront Pizza which has good food but really overpriced. I do miss Paradise Kabab House which used to be in the same location during their heydays. They served the best food with organic ingredients and no artificial color or flavoring at a very reasonable prize. I will take Zadana as alternative.

We stopped in for a quick lunch the other day when in the area for the rowing event. We both had the veg plate and it was delicious. Food was fresh, pita was wonderful and we really enjoyed it. Wish we had a place like this near where we live!

New Kapadokia is the only Authentic Turkish Restaurant in Bay Area which was featured on "CHECK PLEASE" on KQED. Everything gets served is homemade by Meral Guvenc and the recipes are her mother's and grandmother's.

Just tried this last week as part of an ongoing search for a meal that rivals our experiences in Istanbul. New Kapakokia is a good option but probably won't make our regular restaurant "rotation". My wife had an appetizer sampler as an entree and enjoyed all she had. I had the manti (pasta) with a lentil soup. The soup was great, the manti was overcooked and not quite as savory as I have had in the past. Service was very good, cordial and efficient.
