I ordered well-done barg kabob. It doesn't look grilled, let alone well-done.

We had a craving for Persian food, so we tried out Alborz. Overall quite solid! The fesenjoon was particularly good, and the mirza ghasemi was quite solid too.The bread that was initially served to us was a stale pita bread, which wasn't great, but then they gave us the lavash bread, which was outstanding.It scratched the itch for us!

Ordered the plate for two and the combo plate for an appetizer. The eggplant dish from the combo plate pretty much had no flavor, which is devastating. Everything else on there was decent. The filet from the plate for two was meh, no flavor, which was a big shock. Not even a chargrilled mark. The chicken was nice and juicy. The koobedieh was the best part, lots of flavor. The rice also had lots of flavor. The service overall was okay. The waitress -- not so happy. The ambiance of the restaurant was awkward. Overall, a hit or miss on the flavors. Most likely won't be coming back when I'm in the area.

Great food great service! Came with my best friend for Persian food, something we do every time we get together. Alborz has fresh, delicious and flavorful food, Turkish coffee, wine list, and good dessert. Ordered the lamb kebab and the Turkish coffee. The lamb was cooked perfectly and so tender with absolutely no gamey flavor. The rice is delicious too , something about Persian rice..... of course the roasted tomatoes topped off the meal. The Turkish coffee was unique. A little string for me... But good nonetheless. Ayden was so nice and sweet. Hope to be

This was my first time trying Persian food. I was with my coworkers who recommended this place as many other places were closed in the area (it was around 3 pm on a weekday--so bonus points for being open). When we came inside, we were greeted very warmly and seated quickly. Truth be told, I let my coworkers do all the ordering as I was absolutely clueless about what to order. The waiter was also very sweet and helped explain different dishes and gave recommendations to us. In the end, we ended up ordering a number of dishes, including a dip, salad, and two entrees. Even though I wasn't sure what was what, everything was delicious!

Attentive and friendly service! This restaurant has a nice upscale vibe to it, perfect for date nights or celebratory dinners. I went with a couple friends and we had their kabob koobideh and lamb shank. Oh my goodness, the lamb shank was soooo tender, literally fall off the bone, don't even need to chew tender. The koobideh was perfectly seasoned and juicy. Even the eggplant dip blew my mind! In addition to the amazing entrees, you get pita bread as an appetizer/pairing to absorb your sauces. Lastly, to wash it all down, please do yourself a favor and order a nice cardamom tea!

Worst Persian food I've ever had!I ordered tahdig topped with ghormeh sabzi, and it was ice cold. The tahdig was soggy, not crispy at all. I also got a barg and koobideh combo--while the koobideh was passable, it looked like someone had taken a bite from the top of the skewer. The barg kabob was absolutely terrible--the worst I've ever had in my life. It was completely inedible--no salt, no flavor, and an overpowering, unpleasant smell.To make matters worse, there was a fly floating in the white wine I ordered.Avoid this place at all costs!

I really wanted to like this restaurant but unfortunately it was one of the worst restaurants experiences of my life. All the cutleries, glasses and dishes were handled with a level of unsanitary hygiene that cannot be described. Our server had just cleared a table next to us and she used the same hand to individually touch every single spoon, fork and knife by the top. We ordered many dishes from Zaban, Koobide, Chicken, Ash to Tahdig. Every single dish that was served tasted stale and some had freezer burn. I am certain that none of the food was prepared that day or even that week. Granted that this was during the holiday and they probably had limited staff but this quality of food is absolutely unacceptable and a health concern. I ended up reporting this restaurant to health department.My experience was extremely unfortunate.I understand that having and managing a restaurant is an extremely difficult task, but I really hope that with a little bit of training and change in management, they can turn this restaurant around.

If you're looking for a kebab with a side of verbal abuse, Alborz is the spot for you!The food? Decent enough. The service? A masterclass in passive-aggression. One waitress, in particular, stole the show. She made a whole production out of putting on latex gloves to, presumably, clear our plates. For a moment, I genuinely thought she was gearing up for a medical procedure--perhaps a colonoscopy?The vibe was anything but warm and welcoming. If sass and side-eye are your preferred seasoning, then this is your culinary paradise. Otherwise, save yourself the headache and kebab elsewhere.

I hope the owners take this as constructive criticism and improve the food quality because we do need good Persian cuisines in the area. I ordered Soltani. The kabob did not look grilled; my husband said it looked air fried. The meat had obviously been frozen and cooked slowly as you could see liquid had been oozing out of it. The rice was damp. The onioin, cheese and herbs were the best part of the food.

Very inconsistent service. I visited the restaurant twice. The first time, they provided bread, onions, and vegetables. The second time, they completely eliminated the bread, onions, and vegetables. I had to ask for sumac. The rice was ice cold, while the kebab was warm. The kebab was excessively salty and inedible.The Gheimeh was awful. It looked like the type of food shown in movies that is served to prisoners. As a Persian, I know exactly how Persian food should look and taste, so I can judge with confidence.I strongly recommend against ordering from this restaurant, especially if you have a medical condition such as high blood pressure.The food quality was terrible. I had to wait a long time to receive my food, and even then, the rice was cold.The service was awful. I don't know how a business like Alborz even operates with such low-quality food and service. I won't be going back. I prefer In-N-Out Burger--it's at least consistent and much cheaper for what you get compared to the overpriced food at Alborz restaurant.
