Persian Kabab & Grill

We stopped here for Persian food, and what a find! The food was amazing. Seriously! We're lucky to have discovered this place.We ordered the Barg Kabab (both beef and lamb), the Koobideh, and the Chicken Kabab. All of them were superb. I was pleasantly surprised by how authentic and tender the dishes were.We'll definitely be coming back!

I haven't had great Persian food in years and this place absolutely blew my mind so I had to write a review.For food I ordered Mast O Khiar (Plain yogurt mixed with cucumber, onions and mint). This yogurt goes really well with any entree that has rice so I highly recommend it. And as an entree I ordered beef sultani (a skewer of beef filet mignon kabob and one skewer of beef koobideh). Instead of the white rice that comes with the entree I asked if I could substitute it for their green rice which is called Baghali Polo (rice mixed with fava bean, green herbs and spices). If you've never tried this type of rice I highly recommend it as well.While waiting for the food I listened to Persian music that they were playing and also watch the news that was playing on one of their 80in or 85in massive TVs I really liked the vibe they had and made waiting for a breeze. The lady bringing out the food was very kind and at one point even came around to just ask me if everything that I ordered tasted great which was a really nice touch. To my surprise after I finished eating the chef (possibly the owner but I didn't ask so I can't confirm this) he came out and asked me how I liked the food. I eat out a lot and I can assure you this rarely happens so this level of dedication and attention to detail was outstanding.As for the food you may ask? Everything was cooked perfectly. Each meat was flavorful and tender, the yogurt as fresh and paired amazing with the rice, and the grilled tomatoes they included with the plate tasted delicious. The food was so good that I ended up ordering another plate exactly as my first one to go and also added a plate of beer koobideh with its own side of the yogurt.One last thing, not sure if it was my lucky day or what but they threw in this yellow rice pudding dessert that I've never had before but after tasting it, I definitely recommend it. It is unlike any dessert I tasted before but tastes delicious. I didn't order it so I looked it up online and it's called Sholeh Zard (a rice pudding composed of saffron, sugar, rose water, butter, cinnamon and cardamom).

Delicious, authentic Persian food. The owners cook, serve and do it all! The gentleman owner said he grinds his own beef and takes the tendons and bones out. Super juicy beef kobideh with two delicious roasted tomatoes. Loved my chicken fenenjoon. Comfort food with a sweet, savory, stew made of pomegranates, ground walnuts and a special ingredient-- tamarind. Old school decor. Check it out!

Great Persian restaurant. I come here all the time because it is delicious and the owners are nice and attentive. The restaurant is peaceful and food comes at a timely manner. I love the homemade Doogh!

The best Persian restaurant around. The owner and wife are just terrific. Start a conversation if you want and learn about Iran. The food is the best

We just had another wonderful lunch at the restaurant and had such a lovely time chatting with Narges and Amir. The food always come out piping hot and it's mad delicious! We have had the lamb shank baghali polo, chicken kebab, fesenjoon and okra stew and everything was a class of its own! You can taste the freshness and the complexity of each and every dish! My husband is persian, and we have had many persian food in the sac/roseville, bay area and in LA; this is truly in a class of its own. Each and every dish is truly the best version we have ever tasted. Big portion, and there is indeed such a thingbas master of all dishes! So very happy to have found them and have the honour of tasting Amir's culinary skills! Narges always take such good care of us; you will feel like youre dining in the home of a close friend. We will be back for sure! Thank you for everything!

This restaurant deserves so much appreciation and recognition the Humus itself is so warm and bursting with flavor the Shirazi Salad is not only fresh but the flavors from the seasoning really give a pop of life and now for the all star the BEEF LOOBIA POLOO HAS NO BUSINESS TASTING THAT AMAZING I WAS FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE TRYING TO FINISH IT!!! The portion is huge I had to tap out! They are the sweetest people on earth they even boxed my food up and added more rice for me to take home!

The ambience of this restaurant is simple, clean, and organize. Most importantly, the owners Nargis and Amir are extremely kind and friendly. My husband and I have come to this restaurant several of times. Each time we were treated with outmost respect and kindness. They treated us as we were guests in thier home. If you are looking for Persian food, home made style this is the only place in Sacramento region that you will find it. So, please give this restaurant a try and you won't be disappointed.

Without a doubt the best lamb shank I've had in YEARS. For sure, it was slow-cooked for more than 5 hours. Spice and flavor were authentic and well balanced. I loved the food so much, I ordered beef koobideh to go. I was visiting the area and live in LA. This place is literally under-rated. I've tried dozens of places in LA but could never get the authentic taste of persian food in this level. Amir and Narges both were very friendly and great hosts. I got there late evening. I could tell, they just prepared the order (salad shirazi).Tea was full of flavor just like how it was back home. They had added rosemary water and saffron to it which is a persian recipe.Location wise, it's kinda not one of the fancy places with red carpet on front and tasteless food. Despite some 1star reviews, I believe the place is pretty clean if you know what you are looking for. Tables, spoons, glasses that I used were all super clean and shiny. You know it when you put your hands on the table (you know what i mean) I usually don't look at the ceiling or roof of the place!!Prices are totally fair and even below the average prices for such a quality food.I would definitely try this place again every time I'm in the area and highly recommend it if you wanna taste authentic persian food.
