Persian Room

Great Persian Restaurant in Phoenix.
We really enjoyed everything we ordered there; we were on a trip to Scottsdale for few days and ended up going to this restaurant almost everyday. We tried different food, like Kebab, Stew with Tahdig, Albaloo Polo, etc. and all were tasty, fresh and really good. The service was also great. Sitting area/​Dining Tables are good and overall atmosphere was fantastic. The price though is in the higher side but you will get what you pay for:)
I truly recommend.

Words cannot begin to describe how pleasantly surprised I was dining here. I was on a business trip and my hotel was conveniently located down the street from this restaurant. In short description, quality meets quantity. The warm bread they serve before the meal is fantastic, the rice is astounding, the meat is flavorful and juicy, the ambience is superb, the servers are attentive, and the portions are absurdly large. They certainly give the best Persian eateries in the country a run for their money. I am already looking forward to my next dining experience here.

The Persian room special was amazing and back to normal ! I need to try something new on the menu but the special is just too good ! It’s amazing how Kabab melts in your mouth.

We loved the ambiance; lighting, music, décor, etc. It was lovely.
The service was okay. We were told our servers would be Alex (and another woman I can’t remember the name) but Alex disappeared after I ordered hot water for my coffee. 20 minutes later I asked the server from downstairs and got it within a couple of minutes.
As for the food, we were trying something new and some of what we ate was unfamiliar to us so it’s harder to rate.
Example: lamb. I took one bite and decided to pass. Just really slick and oily. The domeh was also a «no» as was the rice with dates, raisins and lentils. The beef tasted just like Salisbury steak which was surprising.
What we loved was the chicken dishes and the hummus was the best I’ve ever tasted.
We were given fresh warm pita to start off which was nice.
It was a fun experience and something new.

My favorite place in Scottsdale. I’ve been coming here for over 4 years and love everything on the menu. Having traveled to the UAE and loving the culture and food this is one place where the food is rich is taste and not in price. I am regular with my Family and have never had an unpleasant experience. I luv the chicken shish and beef kabob and have to have the yogurt and cucumber (mast-​o-​khiar) with my dish. If there is ever a problem, I would definitely let them know and they would make it right. There managers are friendly, kind and always willing to help you decide on a dish. I can not say enough about the food other than if you enjoy fish, beef or chicken you are in the right place. I live in N. Scottsdale and the service is always impeccable!

The ambience was good, upstairs bar is a very different feel than the main area downstairs… great place to be a little more casual and watch a game, etc
First thing to know: the portions are very big! That’s not a bad thing, but don’t be surprised when they bring your plates!
The hummus and eggplant appetizer was very good, with the bread. The Koobideh and Chicken Shish were great entrées!

So I was here for Christmas night since there were no other restaurants open and I have to say I was too generous with my previous review. The food was very poor, the service was worst and they over charged us–

Awesome food. And always is.
They always seem to cook the food just perfect, seasoned the best, and never takes long to bring it to the table.

This review is for service of management and waitress only. The wait to be seated was not bad however it took them 1 hour to take our order and another 45 – 50 minutes just to get our food. The management did no effort to get our order much sooner and get the order out. If you have time to waste then this is your place. Otherwise there are other Persian restaurants in the area.

I love the food! My favorite is the chicken kebab, it’s juicy and delicious. You gotta try this place, it’s casual to fine dining, you see it all.
I suggest starting with the hummus then and entrée of your choice (can’t go wrong with anything) and ending it with he ice cream!
The bread alone is fantastic, I love it with the basil they bring with it. The house hot tea is delicious as well.
Today our service sucked but I’m assuming she was new. Any other time the service is good.

It was the best Persian restaurant I have ever tried outside of Iran. Kebabs were tender and juicy. I really loved the Tah dig v Ghormesabzi and yogurt dip. Service was great too.

YES YES YES GO HERE. If you love grilled meat kebabs, you have to eat here. They have vegetarian stuff too so don’t fret.
Table is constantly served with fresh, thin slices of pita. Get the hummus omg it’s so fresh and tastes nothing like that basic stuff at the grocery store.
Lamb koobideh and chicken barg omg soooo goooood. The meat isn’t spicy tho but they do have a hot sauce. Meat is so juice and tender tho so Omg bring napkins because you’ll be thirsty AF for this meat.
Staff was very friendly and helpful for ordering as well!

I drive 1 hour to go to this restaurant. It’s so good. Our lunch was $ 56 for a giant appetizer platter and giant meat trio platter. This would probably feed 4 – 5 people easily.

It has been a long long time since I have been here. I’m glad I made it to a dinner here to remind me of the goodness tastes of the platter!
For a table of 10, we were seated in the upstairs area– which is common for a large group. Reservations can be made through OpenTable or calling in. A bar sits at the top along with a couple more large groups and small 2 – 4 off table seatings.
Appetizer: Persian Room Appetizer Platter to share with the table. Combination of dolmeh (stuffed veggies in a grape leaf), hummus & eggplant, yogurt & cucumber dip, and torshi (pickled veggies) a fun shareable platter. $ 15.95
Combination Platter: I shared the Chefs special platter (serves 2) but really could be made for 3 – 4 depending on your appetite. This includes the chicken filet, chicken kubideh, fish kebob (mahi mahi) sabzy polo («dirty rice” — sprinkled with some cooked scallions and dill) and basmati rice. We subbed the chicken kubideh with beef kubideh. Both rice were large mounds of rice sitting on half the platter. Other half of he platter were aligned with a row of each meats and 2 grilled Roma tomatoes on each side. My favorite was the beef kubideh, then the juicy chicken filet and then the fish. $ 36.95
Because gratuity is already added the server wasn’t as attentive as he could be. Waters were not filled until the very end of dinner.

Coming here for the eight or ninth time for dinner, we knew the food would be fantastic, but more importantly, we were mentally prepared for poor service.
The Persian Room bills itself as a fine dining experience, but we know better, and thus were not expecting stellar service. Hence, when it took 45 minutes to receive the hummus /​yogurt platter, we did not become upset. The two types of yogurt were creamy, had enough lemon, and were quickly gobbled up by our party of eight. Drinks were brought out haphazardly and often forgotten completely. The wine pours were the least generous I have ever seen. The specialty drinks were mixed well. Sixty five minutes after we were seated, we were asked if we were ready to order. We replied that we we still waiting for our second appetizer, the Tah Dig. They acknowledged that they forget and rushed the order. It was, as expected, delicious. The meat was cut with your fork tender. By now, the manager and two other people were trying to do good, comped our forgotten appetizer’s (we didn’t ask) and were falling over each other trying to redeem themselves. As I mentioned, it was not a big deal since I expected the poor service knowing thr food would more than make up for the deficiencies.
The food is great Persian food, likely the best in Arizona and would probably rank high in the LA area also. Four stars are strictly for the food. I keep coming back with the expectation of relaxing, let the mistakes happen, and enjoy the tasty food.

Second time in. Amazing. This place doesn’t disappoint. The gyro entrée and koobideh and just excellent.
Hummus and pita freshly prepared. Best Persian restaurant in town.

One of my favorite places for great Persian food. I’ve been coming to this place since 2008. They have a variety of great dishes. One of my favorite dishes is the Tah Dig. Its a appetizer and great to share with. Its delicious with the cucumber yogurt dip. My go to dish is probably the Koobideh. Its mixture of ground beef with various seasoning, its awesome with the jasmine rice. On this night I decided to go with the Loobia polo & koobideh which is in this picture. Overall we had good customer service and the food was delicious as usual. I would recommend this place
One strange encounter during the night though, I can’t stop thinking about, I just have to share. So I arrived around 7:30 and put my name down for 4 people. I was told it’s going to be a hour or hour and 20 mins wait. I told them that is fine. Well my fiancée told me that her younger brother and his lady will be joining us. So a total of 6 now. So I went back in with my lady and said, can you make it a table for 6… Then they proceeded to say, «We can seat you right away.» That was strange. If we wanted a table for 4, the wait was over a hour, but if we wanted a table for 6, we were seated right away… Interesting.
Regardless, that aside the meal was great and we received good customer service.

In my opinion the Persian Room is the best Persian restaurant in the valley but not quite up to par with the Persian food available in Orange County and Los Angeles. I have been here a couple of times so far and always enjoy what I order.
We had dinner there last weekend and we ordered the Tah Dig appetizer with Fessenjen– picture a large platter of crispy rice topped with a stew of pomegranate and walnut sauce combined with chicken. This was probably the highlight of the meal. We also shared the Persian Room Special (a platter or rice, filet and chicken with two grilled tomatoes. The meat was quiet good but I find the rice to be somewhat lacking flavor compared to what I am used to. We had the saffron ice cream for dessert which was good but not super exciting.
I am sure we will be back as it is the best Phoenix has to offer.

This place was just ahhh-​mazing. The décor is unique. You can come for a more special occasion or casually. The hummus is ridiculously creamy and delicious. The grilled chicken and beef and lamb koobideh were so flavorful. The meat wasn’t dry– per se… but I should have asked if they had some extra sauce to add to the meal… The meal also came with pita bread and a plate of fresh onion, cilantro, and mint leaves.
The meal portion is HUGE. You will definitely have left overs. Next time I’m thinking about just sharing one dish and hummus or something. Leftovers were just as yummy.

I’m definitely going back to this place! The ambiance is romantic, the food is wonderful, portion sizes are huge, and the staff is friendly.
Friends of ours ordered the combo platter — which is ridiculous in size. Seriously, this can feed a family of 4. But everyone loved it! We also ordered the mixed appetizer platter. I loved the hummus-​eggplant combo spread.
Fresh pita was served on the table, which isn’t always the case. Definitely a bonus!
We also ordered the chicken breast plate and the scallops/​shrimp plate. Both are OK. My partner said the chicken was better on the combo plate and I thought the shrimp/​scallops were a touch overcooked (hence the 4 star rating, not 5 stars).
That being said, everything was very tasty and we will definitely go back! They are very accommodating with the menu as well. If you want something adjusted (i.e. ordering veggies instead of rice) they are more than happy to work with you!
