Service is great here, it was my first visit and the cashier was so helpful with guiding me through the menu. I got the chicken filet entree with half rice half salad and added filet mignon, all togo. He offered water while I waited which was nice. The chicken was delicious with good flavor, just a tiny bit dry, tho I wasn't disappointed. The filet mignon was ok but they made it well done.. I wish that they would have asked how I wanted it prepared. Maybe they don't prepare it any other way but well done? It was also really drenched in butter or some kind of grease. Inside the box there was also a little packet of butter that they stuck between the rice and the pita bread which melted all over the place and was dripping into the rice cause the food was hot. Please leave that out/on the side! I think that for what I paid here, the quality I got and the portion I received compared to the Persian Room, it would be 3.5 stars but I will round up for that chicken! read more

This place is great if you like Persian food. I've been there several times and each time is just as good as the last. Arman took care of us and made sure we were well taken care of. The chicken kebabs, ground beef kebabs are our favorite, as well as the falafel and baklava. Great place! read more

Absolutely fantastic Mediterranean style cuisine. My lamb kabobs were tasty & tender, great salad & tasty dressing. Rice was rice, nothing special if you are used to this style, good. Owner (?) Was very friendly. Wife had chicken kabob & said it was delicious. Very reasonable prices. Only thing I missed was a glass of wine to go with the meal, no alcohol. They seem to do a lot of delivery & take out, so no excuse not to try. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Disappointed. Not halal as everyone in the reviews makes out to be. I asked about chicken shawarma and they said definitely not halal. Took off 2 stars because I'd expect a Persian place to be halal throughout. 3 stars because it their vegetarian stuff is good. read more

Drove by here after shopping in the area and thought we'd give it a try. The service is great - the young man at the counter was very informative, friendly and patient with us. I ordered the steak & chicken kabob platter and it was really good. The saffron rice was so light and fluffy. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Decent food, but the staff was very disorganized and my pick up order was delayed about 20 minutes.

We had a gyro platter and two different kabob plates. All the food was outstanding. The decor and ambiance was very pleasant and upscale. The only knock I had was the cheap, tiny, thin, barely useful napkins placed at the tables. They really detracted from the classy feel of the restaurant. Given the menu prices, a reasonably thick paper napkin shouldn't be out of the question. read more

I can't tell you how many times i've driven past AZ Kabob House... Recently after a long Saturday morning workout, I was looking for something that was healthy but different from my usual salad joints. The restaurant itself is cute and airy, our cashier was super sweet and attentive. We started with an order of their hummus which was creamy and delicious... I got a greek salad with a ground beef kabob. The Salad was flavorful and the kabob was delicious as well. It was quick, delicious, and price was on point. Def a great spot for delicious and quick persian food! read more

Delicious kabobs!! Nice ambiance, very friendly staff. Will be visiting again soon!! Kids loved their food.

If you're on the mood for Persian food go here! Support this cute mom and pop establishment. Plus the food is delish. Quick and super fresh with decent portions. The rice is so good. Mmmmm....My filet kebab was very tender. I tried my coworker's salmon plate and it was amazing! Wow! Totally getting that next time!! This is the perfect place when you don't have time to sit down at Persian room :) We loved it and we will be back soon! Can't believe it took us this long to find it! It's located right between the movie theatre and sports authority next to a hot dog place. Thanks Yelp! read more

AZ Kabob House - Filet kebab - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

OMG!!! This is the best Gyro plate and chicken shawarma!! Armin took great care of us just before closing and the nicest staff thank you Armin. Very reasonable prices too. Gotta come back again!! read more

AZ Kabob House is one of the new genre of small specialty restaurants where you order at a counter and your food is brought to your table. It looks a lot like Coconuts, clean, bright, new, with upscale tables and comfortable chairs. Service is fast (at least when it isn't too crowded) and polite. AZ Kabob House differs from other such establishments primarily in menu and price. The menu here is fairly large, with several stews, four types of kabobs in various combinations, six appetizers, plus specialties, sides and drinks. The prices are almost what you would pay at a table service restaurant ($13 for an average size kabob). It comes down to the quality of the food - so from what we tried, here it is: Hummous - Too much tahini, and little or no garlic, salt, or lemon. Boring. The pita was uninspired. Chicken Kabob - Well prepared but very little flavor (needs seasoning). Filet Kebob - If this was filet, it was the toughest filet I have ever eaten. Also no flavor. Rice - Not exceptional but the best thing on the plate. Salad - About as exciting as a McDonald's side salad. This sounds awful, but actually the food wasn't bad -- it just wasn't particularly good. I think AZ Kabob House should adopt a food truck mentality and strive to make what they cook memorable. read more

I've kept putting off writing a review on the hopes that no one else will discover this gem of a restaurant. Persian food is complicated and unsuited to a restaurant setting, as evidenced by the high number of failures through phoenix restaurant history, yet this simple place nails it consistently. With a fresh, modern decor, they manage to serve traditional dishes with no pretence or arrogance, yet still with delicate sensibility for the intricacies of the cuisine. Blown away by this place, cannot recommend highly enough. read more

AZ Kabob House - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Food is better than most sit down restaurants. Fast causal, clean and healthy. Staff was very friendly.

Meh.. so many better Mediterranean options around. Tzatziki is bland, you only get two small pita triangles with your whole platter, and the rice leaves a lot to be desired. Was looking forward to this meal, oh well. First time and last time. read more

We wandered in here after the Phoenix film Festival. What a great find! We both had salmon which was grilled perfectly. All the vegetables that came with the dishes were very fresh and flavorful. The staff was very nice and the service was good. I am definitely looking forward to going back and would highly recommend this restaurant for a casual and unpretentious dining experience. read more

My beautiful wife and I were hungry after a recent movie and I am currently eating ketogenic so we went to try the kabob house again. It had been about a year since we had been here and we were surprised by the complete makeover. Now it is an upscale middle eastern restaurant. Service was excellent and the person helping us recognized we looked a little lost and explained that they had converted to the new place a year ago. It is very nice inside. Anyway on to the food. We tried the chicken kabob and steak Kabob plates. We both had all salad although you could have rice instead. They seemed to have many different dishes but we wanted something quick to take home. We waited about 5 minutes and headed home. Food was amazing. Chicken was flavorful and not dry. The steak was tender and also not dry. The salad was simple but fresh and nice variety. The only downside was the price. The 2 entries were about 27 dollars for the two. This is about 10 dollars more then the last time we ate there. True the food was better, but not by that much. Overall they delivered on the food and service which is what I rate on. I don't score down for price. Service 5/5. Food 4/5 for my wife and 5/5 for Me. We will be back but not as often as if the price was lower. read more

I've been a big fan of Persian food lately. How is it, that it's only recently that I've come to enjoy it? I've only had one visit at AZ Kabob so far and was hesitant to write a review based on that one visit, but that visit was enough to lead me to believe that I've found myself a new favorite place. I first heard of AZ Kabob by skimming through Yelp for nearby restaurants. Thank you Yelpers! AZ Kabob had 92 reviews at the time with an average of 4-1/2 stars. A convincing rating! It was easy to locate it using the Google Maps app on my phone. Thank you modern technology! I walked in and was greeted with a very clean, modern layout. I already had a good idea of what I wanted to order prior to visiting and that was the Combination Platter, which included 1 skewer each of chicken, lamb, Koobideh (ground beef), and fillet. I was given the option of a side of rice or salad or half of each. I chose half of each. The dish also comes with warm, soft pita bread and rice. I ordered it as take-out and only had to wait somewhere between 5 to 10 minutes. I was also the only patron there at the time so that helps with the speed of preparation. I had the privilege of keeping this aromatic pleasure in my car with windows shut as I drove home. Needless to say I was very excited to experience the dish when I got home. AZ Kabob House is only the second Persian restaurant I've been to ever and the rice in both restaurants have had the best rice I've every had. This comes from someone whose been eating rice since probably since I was a baby. The rice is very fluffy. It looks like they add saffron and butter. All four skewers were so tender, warm, and full of flavor. I loved soaking up the juices at the bottom of the container and enjoyed 4 different flavors and textures of meat. The Combination Platter is supposed to feed 3 to 4 people. I would say that's accurate, but it was so good that I probably ate for two people. The only part of the dish that survived before the day was over was the salad. I'm definitely going to come back and am excited to try all the other dishes! read more

AZ Kabob House - Beef Soltani...Mmmmmm, but there were leftovers. It was the salad. - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place really is good. Persian food fresh and flavorful. I've been for lunch a few times. Simple, order at the counter, they bring your food. Great hummus, chicken, and salads. You still feel good after you eat and that it was a healthy choice. If you want a new mediterranean place give it a try. read more

The food is great here and it's right across the street from my office. I always get the lamb but my friends have said that the filet is great too! The ingredients are fresh and my meat is grilled to perfection every time. read more

AZ Kabob House - Lamb Kabob - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I was just telling my mom about this, and I realized this was the best culinary surprise I've had, in a long time - the food I had was outstanding! I had gone to the Scottsdale 101 anticipating eating at the Persian Grill that I used to really like. That place no longer exists, so I thought I would try the new place, even though I saw the dishes cost more than, it seems to me, "fast food" prices. It was the right decision! First I asked the person, I presume the owner, about vegetarian dishes. He suggested the Fesenjan, without meat. I had never heard of it, and I think the menu said it had walnuts and pomegranate, which sounded interesting. It was quite a tantalizing treat! The service was good. (I do not know his name.) He was very friendly. And attentive. He initially asked whether I wanted half salad and half rice with the meal. I said I wanted all salad - it was great, as well. The meal also came with a pita, which I finished quickly. It was good. I asked him for more bread, and he brought me another (no extra charge). The ambiance is pleasant, and feels appropriate to the cuisine. This was mid-afternoon. Initially it was just me dining and a group of maybe eight to 12 people speaking another language. Then more people came in as I was almost finished. This place deserves "Best of The Valley" honors, and among all cuisines, not just Mediterranean. Absolutely loved it!!! read more

First time that my wife and I have eaten Persian food. I have the lamb shank and dill rice with Fava beans. It was delicious and tender with generous portions. My wife had the shawarma and it was equally great. The staff was attentive and friendly. read more

My husband & I just treated ourselves to AZ Kabob after a long day at work. We decided we weren't hungry enough for any entree, and went with some sandwiches. My husband ordered the Beef Shawrma and I grabbed the beef kabob sandwich. Each sandwich was served with a small side salad, a yogurt sauce, and a salad dressing. The yogurt sauce almost tzatziki like, but not. It was still good. The beef on each was cooked perfectly and thoroughly. Flavoring was wonderful, yet not over powering. The sauce was the perfect compliment to each of the sandwiches (we decided to split the sandwiches in half). My husband enjoyed the salad dressing sauce, while I decide to stick with the yogurt sauce for the salad. It was fresh & crisp. Finally, we splurged ourselves for some dessert. The saffron ice cream had a shockingly pleasant taste. Something that catches the palette off guard. Almost a mixture between something cleansing and refreshing, yet flowery. I don't know how else to explain it, other than GO TRY IT. We will be back!! read more

Absolutely scrumptious kebab platters!! We got the meat and chicken combo and it was flavorful and juicy. Enormous portion with the rice. The cucumber refresher drink was a delight too. Friendly staff, too. read more

AZ Kabob House - A lot of food! - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Very trendy little Mediterranean restaurant in north Scottsdale. After two visits, I'm ready to say that I love their chicken kabob. Very tender and oh-so-flavorful. The roasted tomato and side salad are great. The barberry rice adds tartness to the meal, and I don't think I could go back to the plain rice now. The tzatziki was fresh and a generous serving. However, it came with only one pita (cut into 4 pieces). I'm not sure if you're supposed to ask for more, but it definitely wasn't enough pita bread for the dip, and whether or not extra pitas were available on request was not posted on the menu. The lamb kabob was tender as well, and the gyro meat platter was another good choice. I would definitely recommend this place for lunch or dinner, and it's a convenient fast casual choice if you are headed to a movie. read more

AZ Kabob House - Chicken kabob plate with half plain rice and half side salad. - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My wife and found this wonderful restaurant after visiting the MIM museum in north Phoenix about a year ago. We like Middle Eastern Food and their menu appealed to us. We're very glad we tried it and even though we live about 100 miles from Phoenix, we've been back several times when we're in Phoenix. This is family owned with really great tasting food in a cozy setting with both outside and indoor seating. You order at the counter and pay and then the food is brought to your table. We've usually had one of the lamb dishes which are so good, but they also have chicken and beef kabobs and platters. The last time we were there the special was lamb shank in a tasty sauce which was so tender it fell off the bone. It came with a side salad and a wonderful rice. Its small and quiet and set in a shopping plaza with many stores and other small restaurants. We think its a great find. read more

Finally a safe place to eat during this crazy time of Covid 19. I liked the glass wall that separate tables and makes the atmosphere to look romantic and great place for even dates . I'm afraid of eaten out but will go to this restaurant because makes me feel safer also always loved their food . read more

This place is delicious! One thing I love are the little things, if you purchase tzatziki sauce comes in a a larger container (not the 1 oz little cups most places give you), they serve the pita warm, and the butter for the rice isn't rock hard cold. If you, don't miss the baklava! I ate it before my meal it was so good! read more
