It's an adorable little restaurant and the food and service were both excellent. We were a party of 7, including a vegetarian, and everyone had something different, all of it seasoned and cooked to perfection. The rice was fluffy and flavorful, the vegetables were perfect, the meat tender, and the house made Persian ice cream was refreshing and delightful, and the lavash, hummus, and garlic and shallot dip were perfect. We'll definitely be going back regularly. I wish I'd remembered to take pictures of the food. read more

Delicious food, amazing staff, and an interior vibe that instantly makes you want to stay longer than you planned. Every dish feels crafted with care, and everyone who works here carries this calm, welcoming energy that makes the whole experience feel elevated. It's the kind of place where you finish your meal already thinking about what you'll order next time. Highly recommend. read more

This place is such an underrated gem! It's been a short while since we visited0, so my husband and I went there for a lunch date and we both ended up getting Lamb Koobideh (49). Their saffron rice is so light and buttery and the koobideh is juicy and full of flavor. Never disappointed read more

A hole in the wall kind of place with wonderful, delicious food. Friendly staff. Inside decor is a step above. Nice, quiet, relaxing ambiance. Prices are average, to a little more. Decent amount of food. Restroom. Overall, very nice experience. :) read more

This restaurant is my personal "best of". The quality, the flavors, home made, and family recipes are all divine!! Here's my list of favorites. Bademjam Borani is succulent. I order extra Dolmeh just so I can have some the next day. The green salad is packed with flavor. I always order the beef Koobideh plate with its fragrant saffron rice and roasted tomato. If you want a flavor explosion order the Fesanjan. This is a chicken stew and wow, it's awesome. If I had one complaint it's that service can be slow sometimes. Sometimes it's spot on. It's a family business and they are all so considerate. Cannot wait to return. read more

Where do I start. I ordered over the phone 4 dishes and when my husband got home from picking up the food 2 dishes were not there. I called and the lady stated what is your address and we will drop them off. 45 min. later no food I called again and repeated my address agin. She then called me back after I phoned her that the food was not delivered. She again asked for my address. The food arrived it is was cold the bread basket was not delivered instead more pita bread. Someone there needs to know how to speak english more fluently. Will not be back. read more

First time here. The servings are huge. I ordered the chicken koobideh over rice. It was ok, I am not a fan of the texture but the flavor was good. Next time I would try the chicken thigh kabob. The hummis, tzatziki and stewed. Eggplant dish was yummy. Prices for a meal are high, expect to spend about $35 per person. We got our food to go so cannot comment on service in this review. read more

Place has Amazing food! Staff is attentive and great! Restaurant has great vibes! Beef koobideh is my go to!!!!!! read more

The presentation was nice and the place had a good vibe. But unfortunately, the prices were much higher than what's listed on their website -- around 57% more, which felt misleading. That kind of pricing difference is disappointing and feels a bit deceptive. Also, the meat didn't taste fresh, and that affected the overall quality of the meal. I really hope they take feedback like this seriously, because we'd love to support them if these issues are addressed. read more

Wonderful restaurant. Beautiful atmosphere. Outstanding selection of Persian cuisine that tastes amazing. Service is superb! Highly recommend this restaurant establishment. read more

PORTIONS: filling PRICE: appropriate SERVICE: the server was kind and attentive SURROUNDINGS: clean and warm with personal touches FLAVORS: +/- Kashke-bademjan (I liked it; partner didn't) +/- All Koobideh (beef and lamb food; chicken was juicy but the spice was off?) - Lamb shish leek (partner specifically asked medium rare and it was over cooked) read more

Very overpriced. We ordered the family style, but the portions were so small and it was not enough for the number of people suggested.

My extended family and I love this restaurant! They accommodated for our very large group -- everyone had a beautiful time and the food was fantastic. I loved the eggplant dip and every kabob was delicious. We will be back again. Thank you Kolbeh Kabob! read more

One of the few restaurants around that gets better with age. Always consistently fresh and so tasty. One of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants around Sacramento (Can you believe the Persian Ice Cream is made fresh here? To die for! ). Comfort food comfort dining. read more

Everything about this place is amazing! From the atmosphere to the food, I can't wait to come back. The service was great, I wish I got her name but she was the main waitress and was knowledgeable about the menu, and very pleasant to interact with. The food was a 10/10 - my lamb shish kabob was perfect. The rice, hot tea, and appetizers really sealed the deal and I am simply in love with this place! read more

Food was good, but customer service was zero . We went there for dinner at 7 PM. There was only one old lady in Thai restaurant serving.

The service was not very polite, and I felt the staff could have treated customers with more respect.

Great service by Sarah, and the food was delicious. The ambiance was also warm and welcoming. We shared two appetizers: masto moosir and kashke bademjaan, and both were delicious. They were served with pita, which isn't my favorite, but the two dishes were so delicious that it didn't matter. We then shared a beef soltani and it hit the spot! We'll definitely go back! read more

The food was fantastic! Highly recommend, authentic taste. We took it to go, but next time we will dine in. read more

This place is hit or miss nowadays... Unfortunately, this time it was a big miss! The khoresht-e-Gheime Bodemjon had absolutely NO eggplant, despite the dish's name. How is that possible? Also, the Khoresht-e-Fesenjon tasted off. There was something missing... I think the kitchen staff was either tired or overworked or both. This was an epic fail this time. Not to mention, the Mohst Khiar was lacking enough flavor as well. The overall taste was not authentic. To top it all off, the side salad was thrown together like someone was in a major rush to get out of there and go home. This place used to be the go to for Persian food in North County. Now, it has sadly gone way downhill due to staffing in the kitchen and lack of oversight from the Owners. Hopefully, they can get their act together, because we used to really enjoy their food in years past. read more

Amazing service and great food! If you want delicate Persian cuisine, look no further. The lamb chops are the best in the county! read more

Kolbeh Kabob - Lamb and chicken koobideh - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Orangevale, California

Took my girlfriend there for her first time. She loved it. I've eaten there 6-7 times over the last 5 years or so and it's great every time. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it's a nice classic Persian feel on the inside and the food is consistently very good. I had the grilled lamb and lamb koobideh combo last time and I can't wait to go back for more. The service was also very good and the prices reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Beautiful ambiance inside, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and the service was excellent! Very attentive and super friendly staff, felt very welcoming! The food was incredible, one of the best chicken dishes I've ever had, so flavorful and cooked perfectly! The eggplant appetizer is my new favorite, I wish I'd found this place sooner! The steak was cooked very skillfully, and the vegetables I had were grilled to perfection, plus large portions, so I had leftovers. Highly recommend and will be back!! read more

Pretty good, appetizers were tasty, ambiance looks nice inside and the service was attentive. Prices were alright and factor in lunch special discount. The koobideh had juicy meat but was smallish in comparison to the plate which was mostly rice (well and a grilled tomato). Ratio and presentation matters! read more

Our office ordered lunch from here. First we called when the opened to ask a few questions and was rudely told to call back in 5 min and got hung up on.The food was inedible. The fish was so old. The kabobs looked like they were boiled. 7 of us ordered lunch and each of us had to throw everything away. I would avoid this place. read more

Very nice service and pretty ambiance. It doesn't looks modern but looks like a traditional Persian restaurant. Love the ceiling. There was only one table when we arrived but many more tables arrived while we dined. We love love love the appetizers. The fresh herbs were so nice along with our humus, salad, and mint yogurt. I would honestly go back just for that alone. They have tadig but it's not really yummy. It tasted more like days old rice that was crusty on the bottom and then tried to fry it. It was a very chewy texture, not crispy. The chicken with pomegranate and walnuts on top were too sweet for us but that's just our preference. The best tadig we had at a restaurant was served to us as a very thin layer of rice where the top was crispy and seasoned and had a pretty color on top. On to the entrees. BD loved his ground beef with herbs. I asked for beef and lamb. Personally for me I needed to add more salt and a splash of acid (we got lemon) to it. With feta and the fresh mint the meal was delicious. Kiddo got the lamb shish leek which is a rack of lamb and a skewer of veggies. It was DELICIOUS! Would definitely order again. Next time I'd like to try their other dishes like the stew. But I would absolutely come back for their appetizers and the lamb dish. read more

Portion size of a platter for 4 people(as mentioned in the menu card) were not enough as well exorbitantly priced at $99. Service provided was extremely unpleasant. We were offered with ice cold water before even asking whether expecting room temperature water or chilled water. All the more the waitress at our table exclaimed we're being 'mean' to her to ask for room temperature water. When we talked out mentioning the portion size being less to serve 4, the lady waiting our table said 'do you expect me to bring the kitchen on the table?' read more

My sisters has originally discovered this hidden gem. I'd have to honestly say that it's one of the best Kabob places I've ever been to in the Sacramento area! They just reopened their indoor dining and I'm so excited because everything tastes a lot better when it's hot and fresh! My sisters recommended the following dishes: - Beef Koobideh (MY FAVORITE! Beef is so tender and flavorful!$ - Chicken Kabob - Chicken Koobideh - Vegetarian Kabob - Bademjan Borani is an Eggplant Yogurt Dip (MUST TRY IF YOU LIKE EGGPLANTS!) Each entreé comes with Biryani White Rice and pita bread. Pair with the fresh herbs and Eggplant Yogurt Dip, so that your tastebuds will love you! The food, decor, and service is absolutely superb and always consistent! They never skimp on anything and everything's always above and beyond my expectations. Can't wait to go back, since they open indoors now. read more
