Middle East Market began in 1974 as one of Northern California’s pioneering Persian markets. For Hossein, a longtime customer after immigrating from Iran, it became the foundation of a dream he would one day share with his son, Amir — to create a place centered on authentic food, culture, and community.

Reserve a tableI really enjoyed my time at Middle East Cafe. I was greeted by the friendly staff and ordered then sat in the back patio. I loved the outdoor area it was so nice. The food was excellent. I ordered the Koobideh, Lavash Bread, and the Hummus. Everything was great. I'm a bit of a hummus snob and wasn't disappointed. Highly recommend this place!!
Honestly, one of the best meals I have ever had. Me and my wife went there for lunch and even tho the place was busy, service was exceptional. We had the veggie plate and the meat kebab wrap. Portions are big, ingredients are fresh, seasoning is right on point. We will be back!
Middle East Cafe has one of the best koobibeh in the East Bay! It's a very casual, cozy vibe with a patio in the back. We started with the Kashk eh badenjan and bread. Then we had the koobideh, with rice, tahdig, and masst moosir. And finished with the baklava and chai. Everyone was so friendly and hospitality! Definitely coming back!
