We recently celebrated our wedding at Colbeh. Not only was the staff courteous, friendly and attentive, the food was remarkable, abundant and delicious. The DJ and the music were exceptional. The restaurant's photographer was professional and also patient. Our guests had the best time ever, as did we, ourselves. We highly recommend Colbeh as an overall outstanding setting. read more

What an amazing place. From seating to checkout. Everything clean, fantastic ambiance, and food cooked to perfection! The portions were extremely generous and timing of food is accommodated to your personal request. This is the only place that actually has a pitcher of ICED COFFEE for you on the table. Definately Recommending!!!! read more

Colbeh - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Great Neck, New York

See all

Brought a date here because it was late and we're looking for something close by. The atmosphere was a lot noisier than expected, so having a conversation was hard. That wouldn't have been such a bad thing if the food were good, but it wasn't. We both ordered different chicken skewers, neither of them were particularly tasty and a bit on the dry side. I also have trouble understanding the giant pile of raw onions as a side dish (definitely not ideal for a date, for obvious reasons). Neither of us were accustomed to Persian food, so it could have just not been our taste, but we're not going back. As a side note, the check was handwritten by someone who I can only imagine is a doctor. For that amount of money, it'd be good to know what I'm paying for. read more

Awful restaurant, no ambiance, terrible service, disgusting food, (dry tasteless rice and salmon). Dishes unappetizing when served and overpriced. read more

Appetizers were actually pretty tasty (grape leaves, hummus, and tahdig), so we were excited for our entrees (we got the Fessenjoom and the lamb kabob). And then the food came out...the chicken in the Fessenjoom was dried out so badly it was crunchy. And the lamb kabob was equally dried out and over salted. Picky eaters we're not - but we couldn't eat any of it. This place is way to expensive for the food to suck this badly. Hey, at least it came with a lot of rice so we didn't starve. Looking for something that tastes like mediocre wedding food, and a place for your palate and wallet to weep? Come to Colbeh! read more

Came here for my aunt's 80th birthday party, and was blown away by the quality of food. All of the meats were delicious, and cooked to perfection. The desserts as well were unbelievable. The service was great, and we were able to book the whole restaurant to ourselves as we has a large party. I will say it again - they served some of the best BBQ I've ever had, kosher or not! Highly recommended for Kosher dining. read more

I recently hosted a baby naming at Colbeh in Great Neck. From the start, working with Pejman to plan the event was a pleasure. He was incredible - making sure I had everything I needed. The day of the event was perfect. The room was set beautifully, every need of my guests were met, the food was amazing and everyone was raving about every aspect of the party as the day went on. Thank you, Colbeh, for making this very important day a beautiful success! read more

We hosted our son's auf ruf using Colbeh Caterers and we could not be happier. They were wonderful to work with and extremely generous with their portions. Colbeh's food is fresh, plentiful and absolutely delicious. Our guests are still talking about Colbeh's outstanding food weeks later. We've used Colbeh for three life cycle events and we will continue to use them because they make everything beautiful, delicious and easy. Hats off to Colbeh Caterers staff! They define good customer service! read more

Had to find a place convenient to colleagues from Long Island, Bronx and Brooklyn. The decor and cleanliness of the restaurant were top notch. The staff from the greeter, waiter and all servers were attentive, polite, knowledgable and efficient. We ordered a few appetizers and 3 different main dishes. The food was well presented and delicious. The restaurant was crowded but not noisy. We were able to hear other well. They have a nice selection of food and wines. read more

We recently had our wedding in the party room at Colbeh of Great Neck and their service was so great that I had to take a moment and write this review. Pejman delivered everything he promised and we received nothing but positive feedback from our guests. The staff was courteous and helpful the whole night. Many thanks to Colbeh and we look forward to celebrating our future milestones with them. read more

My both daughters had their Bat Mitzvah party in Colbeh 8 years apart. If I had more daughters they would have had their BM in Colbeh as well. It is a really nice place, the managers are truly caring and helpful at any detail there is: from helping with food selection, party planning, security etc. The staff, the music, the room set up, the atmosphere - were all really superb. The food was organic, fresh, delicious and plentiful: they also added a lot of options on the house. After the party we had our guests (there were 150 of them) call us to tell how nice this party was, and the Colbeh managers called us to tell that the received such calls too. I am indebted to them for the great work, and they are real professionals. Thank you! read more

Love love love it !!! the food and the staff very friendly food was amazing even on Passover !!! (Make rsvp they get crowded)

Unfortunately drove 1 hour to eat here. To be clear I came in with less expectations given COVID. However, COVID can't account for the rude staff. The restaurant should also not market itself as Persian/Iranian. Many elements of a standard dish were missing. The tahdig we ordered came out at 80% rice with crumbles of crispy rice mixed in. Of the many Persian restaurants I have been to with my family, it is the first time we decided to cut the meal short half way through to go back home and make something ourselves. Was hoping to have a great experience. Disappointed it turned out so badly. read more

Rude people, bad service and way overpriced! I would not recommend this place to anyone! The guy who answers the phone does you a favor to even answer your questions. The food gets to you half cold, the chicken and meat is so overdone that it's dry as a board. The salads have absolutely no salt pepper or anything. To sum it up the food is dry and overpriced. read more

YUMMY I'm persian so trust me I know good persian food and this place ROCKS! the food is consistently fresh and yummy and the service is excellent. I recommend for lunches and dinners read more

The best thing about the Andrew Hotel - this food! The salmon with Shirin Rice ( basmati orange rice ) was delicious. The falafel was the best ever! The Tiramisu is better than the Italian version- it was light with cream and a hint of orange read more

We had Colbeh provide the food for our son's bar mitzvah. I am so pleased we chose them. The food was delicious and plentiful. Our guests kept complimenting the food. The food arrived on-time and was on platters/packaged appropriately with serving utensils so we could easily switch from course to course. I would definitely consider using them again. Thank you Colbeh for enhancing our son's special day. read more

Just went there tonite with 8 girlfriends. Service was amazing. The staff bent over backwards to make our experience enjoyable. They gave us appetizers, a bottle of wine and fruit for desert on the house! Food came promptly, was visually appealing and delicious!! Can't remember the last time a restaurant was so accommodating and friendly! Would highly recommend.. read more

Excellent take out! Portions r huge Order the sultani on the rare side Try the orange rice read more

I have been to both locations. It's not bad, but I had better Persian food. I feel like the food is adjusted to American pallet and lacks spices and flavor. The orange rice was way too sweet, and when you look for the recipes online, most traditional recipes call for some spices. The kebabs were a good cut, but also lacked spice and flavor. I went to a beautiful wedding there, and the service was attentive and reception was beautiful. But, I am still looking for my spice. read more

We made a Shabbat Dinner/Wedding Welcome Dinner at Colbeh (in their catering hall in Great Neck) on October 18th. Pejman and his staff made this evening perfect for us! The room looked beautifully laid out, the food was so plentiful (they even added dishes we hadn't spoken about), and it was absolutely delicious. The servers were friendly and responsive. And, the location, right across the street from the LIRR Great Neck Station, can't be beat. Make your dinner reservations and plan your parties at Colbeh! read more

Absolutely disgusted. Don't get me wrong the food here was delicious. But I had asked for my entrée to be packed to go and they had wrapped up someone else's dinner. I was so disgusted when I got home. read more

So after driving to Roslyn Heights for a Jack D's birthday, I realized that I drove to a completely different Colbeh. (Smack on the head). Fifteen minutes later in the opposite direction I arrive to Colbeh in Great Neck, Thanks for sending me directions earlier guys! (Btw, keep in Mind this is during Passover) So upon entrance, the place was nicely dimmed with a moderately filled dining room. Waiting for atleast 5 minutes behind a man crunching number on his calculator, he decides to ask us if we had a reservations.. Very rudely might I add. After we confirmed, he point to the back of the restaurant and told us the party is in the other room... What other room? I nearly walked into the kitchen accidentally looking for this "other room." Found the party in a spacious back room that looks like they host weddings or something. I'm just gonna cut to the Cons first. CONS: MENU - Extremely overpriced food (Passover Menu) I very much dislike any place that takes advantage of the population to profit on holidays SERVICE- attentive but lack knowledge of dishes and any inquiry of the menu. If your going to charge nearly $50 per plate, atleast know how to describe the plate... "It's basically cut meat" does not answer my question. FOOD- (5/10) unimpressive, a large plate with 2 sticks of kabobs with a choice of side and a roasted tomato. I ordered a mix of chicken and ground Kufta kabob stick.. Both extremely dry and lacked good seasoning. The salads were tiny for the price and also lacked any seasoning or pizzazz.. Diced lettuce with one tomato.. "Special salad"?! Really?!?! CLEANLINESS- (1/10) grotesque bathrooms! Toilet paper everywhere, bathrooms are un sanitary and tiny, I was forced to wash my hands and hold it in. Dining room is very cluttered with stuff in random places. PROS: Spacious tables and romantic dinin room Note to self: Never dine here on Passover! The Bill was outrageous and made everyone feel ripped off. read more

BEWARE OF COLBEH CATERERS AND CARLYLE venues: For months you plan a party with the hopes that it will be a fabulous and fun night for all. Certain people went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and wanted for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah. Bobby Farokzad and Eli Aronshvilli from Studio Flash, Amir Shah, you guys are THE BEST and we thank you tremendously! We wanted to throw a club style party, different from the usual temple parties. After speaking with many to find a cool venue, we were introduced to Carlyle at the Palace by Colbeh caterers. We had never worked with Steve Carl of Carlyle and Colbeh only once so we were nervous as to what they would deliver. We sat in countless meetings going over menus and decor, and stressed the importance of the food, the variety and abundance of it, along with the other million details that go along with these parties. We NEVER negotiated the price, just asked that everything would be top of the line. At $200 a person, this is NOT what we received!!! The night of the party, the event coordinator, Brittany, who sat in every single meeting, never showed up. Steve himself left after a couple of hours to take his "girlfriend" out...are you kidding me?? The cake was not there for candlelighting, arriving instead at 10:30...an hour after we had already finished. I have no pictures with this cake. You cannot redo that. The dinner was not the menu we had agreed on and was cleaned up and closed at 10:30, when we had agreed that it would be open and replenished until 12:30! Why would they do that?? There was no dessert room. Just passed around desserts. The cakes and pies and cookies that we had paid for were not present. Every single guest was supposed to have bagged hot pretzels and chocolate chip cookies at their departure. Oops, they forgot to load the catering truck with the machines. The list goes on and on...and all of these things were brought to our attention by our close family and friends after the fact. The next day when we approached both sides with a very nice letter thanking them and wanting to address these issues, we were dismissed. Since then, we have tried numerous times to reach out and were met with denials and them blaming each other for whatever went wrong. Not even one apology. No responsibility. They knew how to take top dollar for the party but didn't want to even speak with us afterward. This is not how you build your brand or your reputation. What both of you Carlyle and Colbeh just did was embarrass yourself in front of 350 of my guests. Do you really think any of them will come back and reserve a party with either of you? SHAME ON YOU BOTH!!! We will NEVER work with you again. I hope this post makes others think a second time before wanting to work with these two companies. JUST DON'T DO IT!!! read more

This is one of my favorite Persian restaurants. The chicken is always perfect and not dry. The green rice is so delicious. It's a great place for dinner...for a birthday .... the food is generous and the quality is great. Great place, great service. read more

What an amazing time last night. Went to dinner with a friend and as usual the food was great!!! The VIP treatment was the best and it really felt like you were family. The combo for two is amazing and the special salad that was personally made was off the charts...its the little things that count as well and here you get the whole package!!!! read more

Walked in, looked around and walked out. I pass. I won't even leave a negative review. If they didn't deliver in the city, I would never go to either or location. Ew. read more

Excellent restaurant Fresh food Best management Mr Pejman excellent owner manager Recommend without hesitation read more

Went for a business dinner as our host wanted us to taste food from his country. Very empty but clean. We had a variety of items to share. The hummus was the best I've ever had and I can't get the baba Ganoush out of my mind. We had cherry rice which had a nice flavor but was too crunchy for my liking. The meat platter had some winners and losers. Overall it was a decent experience. read more

We chose Colbeh to host our son's bar mitzvah- best decision ever! The food...amazing! The service...amazing! The place...amazing! They under-promise and over-deliver on everything. Everything was planned perfectly, from the signature drinks to the balloons! Extremely professional and friendly. The food is fresh, incredible and it kept coming! Everyone was stuffed even before the main course came out! We will remember this day forever! Strongly recommend it for your party or event- thank you Colbeh! read more

We through a birthday party here. The staff was very accommodating here, and the service was fantastic. Everybody raved about the food. We got a prefix menu with appetizers, salads and family style entrees. Nice platters of fresh fruit and pastries as well as birthday cake. The food was delicious and The guests were all happy read more

Service is good and food is good. Don't get a beef kebab, stick with chicken or lamb. Make sure you get both French fries and cherry rice as a side. If you don't want fries, get only cherry rice. Schnitzel is also epic. Portions are great. Parking nearby. read more

I work for a college and we have held two reunions at this location. Each time we have had a wonderful experience and plan on using Colbeh for our future events as well. The food is delicious, fresh, and plentiful. The staff were all extremely professional and accommodating! The way they set up their event room is gorgeous and classy, with typical tables and chairs, but also including cozy couch areas as well. Lovely place with wonderful people, I highly recommend it! read more

Nice place to grab a bite of Persian food! I personally love there Gondi and there full bar :) they have like 3 other cool branches but never been to them yet read more

Favorite restaurant in Great Neck. The beef kebab is insanely tasty (albeit sometimes a little bit tough) and the portions are a monstrosity -- one order of beef kebab might be in the mid/upper twenties but it could probably feed an army with the amount of rice and side dishes that come with it. This is my favorite place to order out from because you really get bang for your buck, it's delicious, fresh, and kosher. read more

Had my engagement party here last Sunday and overly impressed by the job they did. The food was plentiful and finger licking good, the DJ was spectacular playing fun Israeli and Persian music, and the floral job was beyond belief once we paid extra for added touches. We had lots of requests and high expectations and the owner was so accommodating to our high demands. 5 out of 5 stars without a doubt. Wedding status good. Awaiting photos and Videophotographer but the photographer was fun engaging and proactive in telling guests what to do read more

overly priced and food is not great persian food, chicken is way too dry, the food taste a bit old, great service. I thought I would be having the best persian food. My wife and kids were upset as well read more

We hosted our daughter's Bat Mitzvah at Colbeh of Great Neck and it was AMAZING!!! Food, staff, service, bartenders, and host, Pejman! Pejman said, "I will take care of you and your guests 1000%" - and he did! We were not regulars, and I was impressed at the genuine service, care, and attention to detail. Guests are still raving about the food and service. Some comments from guests: "It was decadent!" - "The food was amazing" - "The sushi was great" - "I thought the hot appetizer buffet was the dinner!" - "I never saw a dirty dish or glass laying around" - "The service was outstanding!" - "Bartender was great!" The party room was just painted and new carpet was just laid. Food was top quality. Honorable people to do business with! Now, I'll be a regular! Thank you, Colbeh!! read more

Pesach review:. Very nice people, decent service. Flavor was decent. Fries should have been freshly cut and freshly prepared and salted and seasoned. They were precooked and came from a bag. Pricey. Awesome that they are open during Pesach. read more

We recently had our daughter's Bat-Mitzvah party at Colbeh in Great Neck. It exceeded our expectations. Pejman, Benjamin, Santiago, and everyone else working that night went out of their way to transform the room into a beautiful party. The food was exceptional and plentiful and the service was attentive and friendly. Everything promised was delivered. All our guests have called to say what a wonderful party it was. read more
