I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish. Service was slow and it felt like we were forgotten for long stretches. The staff didn’t seem attentive or particularly interested in making sure guests were having a good time. The food was underwhelming for the price. A couple of dishes arrived lukewarm, and overall quality didn’t match what you’d expect for the cost. The atmosphere wasn’t enjoyable either. It was louder and more chaotic than expected. There are plenty of other spots nearby that offer better food, better service, and definitely better value. Unfortunately, this visit left a bad impression and I won’t be returning. I hope management takes feedback seriously and makes real improvements.

I had no idea Old Town Tustin had Persian food until visiting Divan Grill & Lounge the other night for a birthday dinner! The restaurant is hidden away on a corner street in the area and has casual and relaxed vibes, with many hookah vessels available within the restaurant. But the food and service are solid! Even with a large group, the service and food was paced reasonably. And the food was enjoyable. We got to try a trip of dips - tzaziki, hummus, and warm eggplant. The tzaziki was really refreshing and the eggplant was a nice warm hug in the mouth - so a nice contrast. The hummus was creamy and smooth and the flavor was decent too. For the main entrees, we had the salmon, chicken, and beef koobideh. The salmon had crispy skin and was pretty flaky but more well cooked. The chicken was tender (seemed to be mostly thighs, which I'm a fan of) and very flavorful. And the beef koobideh was also very tender and probably my favorite bite of the night. Overall, a solid option for Persian food in the area, and very accommodating to large groups. It's worth visiting if you're in the area, especially if you want to try something different from the many Asian and Italian places nearby.

i came on friday and they had an awesome DJ!! the food is always delicious and the hookah is a well attended service. Maryam khanoom is also very kind. come and bring your friends

Had an amazing night at Divan Grill and Lounge! The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavor and beautifully presented. The whole place has such a fun, energetic vibe that makes you want to stay all night. Big shoutout to the ownership and staff — super friendly, welcoming, and on point with the service. Special love to DJ Hannah— she absolutely *killed it*! Her music selection was fire, with the perfect mix of *Persian, Arabic, Turkish, Indian, English* and more. She knows how to read the crowd and create a vibe that keeps everyone dancing and vibing. Her energy is contagious and really adds soul to the place. If you're looking for great food, amazing music, and a night to remember — *Divan is the spot*. Highly recommend!

We stopped for lunch at Divan Restaurant on our way back to San Diego and had a wonderful experience. We ordered the sultani kebab, and it was absolutely delicious—tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. It truly reminded us of the classic kebabs from Tehran Bazaar. The service was excellent, warm, and attentive. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and would happily stop by again.
