Description: This is my 3rd and final restaurant. I relocated from North Naples after a 15 year successful run. I wanted this interior to be very sharp, elegant, 5th avenue chic yet with some Persian touches. A collaborated vision between myself and Architect Fernando Zabala has resulted in a space which as he puts it: "resembles a Persian jewel box". I updated my menu and am continuing my innovative and classic Persian creations. The range is varied from somehow comfortable, simple and wholesome food to sophisticated and mutli level flavors ready to be enjoyed by all culinary food lovers. Although I am constantly inspired by all other cuisines, but my food should not be stereotyped with Arabic, Turkish, Indian, etc. or any other single ethnicity. My signature food at Bha! Bha! Bistro remains just that. My signature cooking.T here are many dishes on my menu that perhaps are not seen or recognized in a typical Persian restaurant. Yet, all the classic Persian ingredients like pomegranates, mint, saffron, rose water, cardamom, pistachios basmati rice etc. are all present; however they are not all packaged into one entre. Among the 3 dozens items on my menu some are packed with flavors and some are kept low key for the respect of diners who may not be too enthusiastic about overwhelmingly pungent flavors. My staff will go out of their way to guide the dinners into a perfect union with their choices.I invite you to come over and allow me to entice all your culinary senses by what I have created over the past 25 years. Eagerly welcoming you Michael Mir Owner

The food is not authentic. And way over priced. The tables are placed so closed to each other and for what they charge we did not feel welcomed to linger and enjoy ourselves. The check was presented before our deserts were finished. Not to mention the hurried good byes by owner!!!

My sincere apologies if I appeared to be rude while I thank you so much for your input and concerns. The menu has close 22 entrees of which 11 are classical and authentic Persian recipes. The rest are a fusion so we can reach to everyone who seeks a cuisine with a touch or Persian but not overwhelmingly. March was... More

You enter the room and experience a modern, differently designed world. The combination of reduce to a good level and traces of Persia...good balance. When you enjoy the meal - spicy chicken with apricot sauce and lamb kebob - you know you reached a cloud of tasteful and delicious food. And the service is like out of 1001 nights. Merci... More

In fairness to this restaurant, I will say that we have friends who really like it. We did not. We do like Middle Eastern food, but this is more "nouvelle" and we are not big fans of nouvelle. This restaurant was not as busy as most in the area, but the others were offering various specials. Bha Bha does have... More

Lovely venue, great food and very attentive and friendly knowledgeable service. Three courses for two plus wine and coffee $160 and worth every cent. We both started with the lamb meatballs which were tender and delicious, followed by one braised lamb and one duck which again were faultless, tempted by desert I tried the rice pudding which was just right,...

My girlfriend has been begging me to come with her to try Bha Bha! She has been before. I thought she was over hyping it, but she by no means was. The food here is truly incredible. Excellent plate presentation, Delicious food, exotic flavors. Definitely worth the price, great value.

We three women visited on a busy evening. The waiter was quite solicitous until we declined pre dinner cocktails, when he promptly walked off and ignored us. We had a long wait for our orders to be taken and too-long waits between courses. While we were eating our the main courses our waiter turned from indifferent to over-attentive to the... More

We really enjoyed our dinner in Bha Bha Persian Bistro. Being fans of Persian cuisine in general we were not disappointed in this lovely restaurant. Restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating.
