BARAN

A Story of Passion, Family & New Beginnings​

Our journey began in 2012, when we moved to the United States to start a new chapter in our lives.

With a background in metallurgical engineering, Navid chose to follow his lifelong passion for cooking. He started in the kitchen, learning every aspect of the restaurant business from the ground up. Over the next ten years, he gained hands-on experience in everything from food preparation and kitchen operations to restaurant management, eventually becoming a restaurant manager.

Food has always been more than just a meal to our family. We love great food, appreciate authentic flavors, and believe that quality should never be compromised. At Baran, we proudly serve the same fresh, flavorful, high-quality Persian and Mediterranean cuisine that we would choose for our own family.

​

Why Baran?

​In Persian, Baran means rain. Some of the most beautiful moments of our lives happened on rainy days , the day we got married and the day our daughter was born. We named her Baran, and when our dream of opening our own restaurant finally came true, we knew it deserved the same meaningful name.

Today, Baran Restaurant in Anaheim Hills is more than a family-owned Persian and Mediterranean restaurant. It is a reflection of our journey, our love for food, and our commitment to sharing authentic flavors, warm hospitality, and memorable dining experiences.

From our family to yours, welcome to Baran.
