Our Story
Family, Fire & Saffron
The story of M Cafe & Grill is the story of Persian hospitality finding a home in Lake Forest.
Meet Martin Karimi
Chef-owner Martin Karimi built M Cafe & Grill around a simple promise: here, everything is delicious. That means kebabs hand-pressed each morning, stews that simmer for hours, rice steamed with saffron, and a dining room where guests are treated like family.
Everything served is 100% halal, not a section of the menu, the whole menu. And because a Persian meal doesn't end with the last bite, the cafe pours hot tea, Persian desserts, and cakes late into the evening, with live Persian music on select nights.
