Restaurant Details: The former careers of restaurant owners are often interesting and that of Behrooz Farahani, owner of the downtown San Diego Persian restaurant, Bandar, is no exception. He graduated with a degree in architecture, soon owned his own architectural firm, was married, and had twin daughters. On a visit to San Diego in 1986, he decided he could provide his family with a better life. His parents, especially his mother, wept over the move but that did not prevent the young Farahani family from emigrating. Behrooz and his wife Shokooh purchased the historical building in San Diego's renowned Gaslamp Quarter. Bandar soon became an overnight phenomenon. Recently they also opened their second venture called the B-Lounge. Personally designed by Behrooz and Shokooh, the atmosphere is truly chic and unique, offering a classic scene with a distinguished ambience. Featuring polished wood ceilings that travel in dramatic waves from wall to wall, the entire room is suffused in a warm tangerine glow. Behrooz Farahani has raised Persian dining to new heights with authentic marinades for his signature beef, lamb, chicken, and fish entrees. Behrooz is committed to serving only the finest meats, and insists on personally choosing each cut that is served in his restaurants.
