The food was delicious, but the service is lacking. They are more fine dining on 5th Avenue, so they need to improve their service to stay competitive. I did enjoy the Persian cuisine though and the location is wonderful on 5th Avenue.

Bha! Bha! is definitely one of the top restaurants in Naples. We have been going there since they started out on Vanderbilt Rd in North Naples. Since they expanded and relocated to Fifth Ave, they have only gotten better. To start, they always have the most interesting (and generous) martinis. Last night, my Mango Pear Salad with Gorgonzola cheese was delicately prepared and lightly dressed. My entree was Lacquered Salmon which was cooked to perfection and served on a bed of lentils and vegetables. We always have the Firni for dessert, but that was not available last night, so, instead we quite enjoyed the Persian ice cream. It was a chilly night, and although we were seated outdoors, it was on the side of the restaurant where they have created a charming area with one side being an old brick wall, while the other was a "fence" of bamboo plants with sparkling lights. There was a heater directly overhead, so our dining area was quite cozy and private. Service was, as always, attentive, but not obtrusive. If you enjoy fine dining and creative fare, Bha! Bha! is for you. If you are a steak and potatoes person, go next door to Chops which specializes and does an excellent job of that. Although Bha! Bha! has many specialty lamb dishes, there are also many other fish/poulty/meat offerings.

At the beginning of 5th you will find this gem of a place that serves fine food, has a great bar and wonderful atmosphere. Dawn at the bar is a fantastic addition to the overall experience. She suggested the special stuffed eggplant and sea bass which were spot on. The staff, especially Dawn, makes you feel comfortable and looked after. We can't wait to come back and try the pistachio lamb meatballs and seafood paella as both were recommended by her.

We were warmly greeted at the door and had our choice of eating inside or outside. Menus were brought to the table shortly after we arrived. The restaurant was not very busy.
We were offered the three course special dinners for $49. Though we had our favorites we decided to order from the special menu, a salad, a main course, and a dessert. The main course was a disappointment for both of us even though we ordered different meals.
We found two hours to be too long for dinner in a half full restaurant and the entrees were not very tasty.

This place is very expensive. The food is not that good and the portions are really small . I’m Persian I’ve been to many many Persian restaurant they always give you two stick of kebab kobedeh . The rice is very cheap and they charge 10 times more than other Persian restaurants because there is not that many Persian restaurant in SW Florida, they take advantage of charging mode I’m not recommending this place at all . Don’t waste money on this restaurant.

Dear Bita,
Sorry You did not enjoy your experience in my restaurant.
Its not my restaurant that is expensive, its everything els all all over the country. Rice, eggs, chicken, beef, lamb, vegetables, rent and labor have all gone up tremendously. There are hundreds of other "overhead costs" associated in an entree especially in a white table cloth, fine dining restaurant in a prime location. True there are many other persian restaurants everywhere, and some even give you rice and kebab on a paper plate. You have your choices. In fact I don't think if your choice was quite communicated correctly in my restaurant. Was there a language barrier? The koobideh the kabab entree is always served with two skewers, no exceptions; unless if it's miscommunicated. You may email us please, we will issue credit.

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Far from the most expensive item on the menu we both ordered the plum/lamb stew. Tasty and beautifully served. The wait staff was efficient, helpful, and timely. Save room to share a dish of their ice cream. Choice of many fresh flavors.

We celebrated my wife’s birthday last night and had the pleasure of having Fernando as our server. He was exceptional and the food was unbelievable as always. We shared the Lamb Meatball appetizer and stuffed grape leaves which were flavorful and perfectly prepared. Our entrees included the Mixed Grill Kabob and Pomegranate lacquered Salmon. Both were moist and perfectly cooked. They even surprised us with complimentary dessert for her birthday of Baklava and their homemade ice cream. Our celebration could not have gone better! Bha Bha is the best for anyone looking for exceptional Persian cuisine with service that is beyond comparable!

Two longtime friends and I went to Bha!Bha! Persian Bistro on Friday night and all of us raved (!) about our respective dinner selections and the desserts. All of us are adult children of Armenian parents so we know good Middle Eastern food when we taste it and eat it. I was SO please that they enjoyed their meals as much as I did. Having lived in Naples for the past 25 years, I used to go to Bha!Bha! when it was located in North Naples, so I knew I was treating them to a wonderful dining experience. Our server Daniella was attentive and answered all our questions about the various dishes we were considering. She did not steer us wrong. Everyone was very pleased with their dinners and the desserts she suggested were magnificent. One had custard between filo wafers (excuse my ignorance in describing) and we loved it. Try to leave room for dessert! You will not be disappointed! I am usually an ice cream girl, but I went with my dining companions' decision and I was not at all sorry. I can't wait to go back!

My wife and I, vacationing in Naples, decided to try a restaurant that doesn't necessarily specialize in seafood. We love Middle Eastern fare and we were not disappointed in Bha Bha. Our server, Daniela, is from Serbia and was simply amazing. She knew so much about the menu and how the dishes are prepared, pointing out the differences with other Middle Eastern versions of the same dish. She was impressive. The kabobs were wonderful and the baklava was the best I ever had. My wife had salmon and loved it. It's not often that a server and the dishes can impact you in such a way as to lead to a reevaluation of what a truly good restaurant is. They knocked it out of the park. If I were a local, I would be a regular. Highly recommended.

Bha Bha is one of our Naples favorites! Great cocktails, ambiance and food is awesome. Our server Chayan is always welcoming, informative of menu items and never rushes the table. We will return soon.

Oh, my, does it get better than this? Our first visit here, a busy Christmas Eve, and we were seated in a lovely spot on the side patio that was beautifully decorated for the holiday.
Our server, David, was both informative and attentive. We enjoyed the warm dolomites as an appetizer and then my husband ordered the lamb shank and I the salmon. Both were delicious. We will make this our number one stop the next time we visit Naples.

Naples has been our US bolt hole for a number of years, we are usually docked in the various marinas which has its fantastic collection of restaurants and subsequent seafaring food,
Fifth avenue is the main strip in Naples and beautiful, however always given the feeling of grab and go restaurants, all front and no detail types, alas no longer we have found it-Bha Bha, Truly amazing food and quality served in the most exquisite way from an extensive menu. The team worked tirelessly to provide what appears to
be a seamless taste explosion and so different from other restaurants in the area. A very special shout out to our requested waitress Maria from Serbia- a real asset to what is now our number one restaurant in Naples.

Bha Bha is so popular that it's taken me 3 years to get a reservation. When I finally got one, my family was not excited as they didn't know what the food would be like. Everything was fabulous from the Apricot Chicken to the Mediterranian Salad to the Lamb Balls and Yogurt and Tapenade trio. The combination of flavors and textures were delightful. I love artichoke and eggplant but I would personally skip their version... it looked like hash and was fairly tasteless. But with that said, everything else had interesting, wonderful flavors. My reticinet family and I left raving over the restaurant's food and service. It was a memorable evening dining out in Naples.

Simply amazing and delicious food. The ambiance and service were spot on, especially with the music; however, the menu is expansive and the food was phenomenal. The kabobs were balanced in seasoning and the basmati rice light and flavorful.
The Turkish coffee was delicious and the desserts unique and delicious.

What a marvelous experience. The atmosphere was nice with almost a soothing effect. Our waiter, Walter, was very attentive and witty. My girl started with the Lamb Eggplant Napoleon which was very tasty and really enough for two. And I had the Mango garlic shrimp that was absolutely delicious. Then she enjoyed the Pomegranate Lacquered Salmon which was outstanding as I enjoyed Sheeshleek! (Lamb Chops) that were perfectly cooked. And to close it out our waiter brought a complimentary desert that was so good we had to skip Kilwins ice cream.
Very well worth the experience!
