Alborz Persian Restaurant

Alborz is hands-down the best Persian restaurant in Vienna! The koobideh kabob was absolutely delicious--perfectly seasoned, incredibly juicy, and cooked to perfection. The portions are enormous, so you'll definitely leave satisfied (or with leftovers).The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Takeout is great too. I love this place

Our meal at Alborz was a mixed bag.  The location is convenient with a big lot out the back.  The interior is comfortable and light.  The kabobs were good and the portions of rice very generous.  The biggest disappointment was the lamb shank.  Although the meat was nice and tender, it was served in a clear broth with barely a vegetable floating in the bowl.  We were surprised that they bothered having the broth/water.  The service was friendly but a little disjointed.  We had to ask for our tea twice after ordering it before it eventually came.  They were out of the baklava so we tried the roll cake which was refreshing but really nothing special.  I wish we had enjoyed a more positive experience.

I came here one night after work. Got unwelcoming looks from the waitresses as I walked in. Granted, they were closing and maybe they didn't realize I was only picking up. So let's skip that. As for the quality of the food itself, it left much to be desired with the other Persian restaurants in the area. I had the ice cream and there was white bits on it. Now sure whether it was dry ice or wax but I had to stop eating f and toss it. The warm bread wrap usually served in other Persian restaurants was kind of a cracker at Alborz. The price however was the same.

I get chicken kabobs take out with half rice and half salad and it's always good. Plenty of parking. It's fast and on time when they telle.to.picl up.

Came here with some friends on a weekday evening and the restaurant was decently busy! There is also plenty of seating for large groups. The service is incredibly nice, and the complimentary flatbread is delicious. I ordered the sandwich, and the portion size was quite sizable. I am definitely inclined to try their rice dishes next time!

Consistently good food, generous portions. Over time, a few favorites and preferences emerge.Ordering a la carte makes sense on occasion, staff are happy to accommodate. However the price for customizing orders is borderline prohibitive. A side bowl of lamb shank broth cost $5, a Tandoori/Barg combo $35.Better to order dishes separately as they are obviously a better value.Overall, I recommend Shamshiry as they at least show long-term customer appreciation.

Food is always fresh, served hot and in a timely manner. This restaurant is always clean and all the servers are polite, friendly and very professional. Salute to Babak! His service is exceptional and we have never been disappointed!Thanks to the owner/restaurant manager and the staff for making this place the best Persian restaurant In Washington/Maryland/Virginia.

Excellent food! Had the hummus, roasted eggplant dip, tandoori chicken kabob with dill & fave bean rice, jujeh kabob, and Persian ice cream w/ paludeh. Everything was excellent, especially the chicken, and seemed authentic. The service and ambiance were fine - it had a busy diner feel to it. But the food def made up for that. Note that alcohol is not served here. Recommend and will return.

Delightful! We have been here several times and we are always happy with our food and service. Our daughter really enjoys the free pita as well!

This is a restaurant with a great selection of the best Persian cuisines . However, I would recommend it if you want to go there and eat inside. But never ever order to go at this place unless if you have the nerve to wait for your order ay least 30 minutes than the promised time (or even more ) because what they do is simply give preference to uber eats and DoorDash orders over yours and it happens right in front of your innocent eyes. Just save your nerves and time by not ordering to go at this restaurant!
