At Patogh, every skewer is charcoal-grilled to order. Saffron rice, sumac onions, slow-braised stews, and the warmth of a Persian table — just off Monte Vista.
Every kabab kissed by open flame, never a gas burner in sight.
Persian spices, Mediterranean roots, three generations of technique.
Nothing sits. Rice steamed fresh, meats seared the moment you order.
For over a decade, Patogh has been Turlock's quiet corner of Tehran — a place where neighbors linger over tea, families share big platters, and the scent of saffron and charcoal drifts onto Monte Vista Avenue.
Come hungry. Leave family.
"The best Mediterranean meal I've had since I left the SF Bay Area. My brother and sister-in-law took me there for dinner for my birthday. The dinner itself was fantastic."
"Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Ambiance clean, friendly. My wife and I — it was our first time, but we are planning to go back and will strongly recommend to all our friends."
