If you’re craving Persian-style pizzas in Orange County, this is definitely the spot to check out. We ordered the Beef Pizza and the Persian Pizza, and both had a distinct flavor profile that was quite enjoyable. The Beef Pizza had a savory taste with a hearty layer of toppings, while the Persian Pizza stood out for its unique combination of herbs and vegetables with thick dough. The cheese quality could be elevated to match the delicious flavors of the rest of the ingredients.
The service was decent—efficient and polite. We visited on a Saturday night and were surprised by their live music and belly dancer event. While the performance added a lively, cultural vibe to the atmosphere, the music was louder than expected. Since we were looking forward to having friendly conversations over dinner, we opted to dine outside, where it was much quieter.

Came there 2 weeks ago I loved the restaurant and the food. Waiter was super nice and the place had a nice homey feel. I had the Kabob Sultani, mast moosir. And my girlfriend had a sandwich and cheese fries with kalbas on top. Portion sizes are huge well worth it for the money. Quality of meat was top tier also.

Highly recommended! Delicious, fresh food. Great table settings and spacious seating. Calm and delightful atmosphere with nice, caring staff.
We ordered the “Maghz Sandwich,” Persian pizza, “Bomb Sandwich,” “Bandai Sandwich,” “Mast-e-Moosir,” loaded fries, “Faloodeh o Bastani Sonnati,” and Zolbia o Bamieh. No judging! lol.

I went there few days ago as I was in the area, this was my first time since the expansion. Last time I had gone to M Cafe was couple of years ago when they were a small restaurant that had chair and table on the side walk. We ordered the same food as couple of years ago, Persian pizza, Zaban Sandwich. I also tried their tahdig and it was good, good size and fair price. No issue there with tahdig. My issue was with the sandwich and pizza. The quality of the food had dropped and the prices have increased. I do not mind paying the extra if the quality is good. They charge $5 for side of fries when most places the fries is complementary. With the high price of sandwich plus the fries a family of 4 can expect to pay $60-80 for 4 sandwiches. Which I think is too much. They have a very extensive menu that offers many of the Persian dishes. Their average prices are higher than similar Persian restaurants in the area. The service was fast and the atmosphere was great. I hope they go back to their roots and focus on the quality instead of expanding and adding new dishes to the menu. What worked for them couple years ago was keeping the place small and providing high quality pizza and sandwiches. It’s not the case now.
