There are three of us that go out every two weeks just to get out! We are workaholics! this week one of us chose Pars Persian cuisine. what an amazing surprise !! we started with the appetizer platter, then moved onto the entrées. I could've stopped at the appetizers because the amount was overwhelming yet delicious!! Our entrées were spectacular and we will bring friends back here. This was a home run.!! The attention to detail and the fact that the chef comes out and will help you choose your meal was a bonus. Can't wait to come back.! read more

Delicious and authentic Persian cuisine with fresh and delicious ingredients. We tried the chicken, the koobideh and the soltani beef kebab. The warm bread with butter and herbs were amazing. Service was quick and staff was very friendly. Ambiance was cozy and very Iranian inspired and beautiful. read more

Another amazing meal and experience at Pars. Sean's service is always impeccable! Food is always delicious. I enjoyed the beef sultani entree and hummus appetizer. The bread is so soft and fresh. They did a great job of navigating our large work group and always serve with integrity and warmth! read more

Pars Persian Cuisine - Sultani (Beef) - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

This is one of those places that I go to when I'm in the mood for specific items. Those items being the chicken kebab, lamb shanks, and sometimes the Cornish game hen. None of these items have ever done me wrong in the ten + years I've been indulging in their food. All these dishes have always been juicy and tender, never dry. Honorable mentions of some other dishes I've also enjoyed from here but don't order often include the oyster mushroom kebab and the chicken filet sultani. Everything about their establishment has remained consistent and of high quality over the years; from their warm friendly hospitable service, cozy welcoming interior, to the quality and flavor of their dishes. Some people might say it's a bit pricey, but portion sizes of almost every main entrée I've tried have lasted me at least two to three meals easily, so it ends up being worth it. There was a long period of time when I had to go gluten free and this was one of the only options in this area at that time that could accommodate my dietary needs. So, I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a menu with a fair amount of gluten free options. read more

My experience with Pars was very disappointing. My family ordered takeout for a party. When my parents showed up for pickup the food was not ready on time. Because of that, we had to rush to set everything up before our guests arrived. The food was expensive and the koobideh is some of worst that I've had. A lot of the kabob was burned. Also, the raw onions served with kabob are usually mild or sweet but these were so sharp and almost spicy. We had a good experience with placing the order and their customer service but it did not make up for the food and tardiness. read more

The owner/Chef used to work at the Persian room as their head chef, went and started his own business. Been to both restaurants and his new one is by far better than Persian room in my opinion. read more

Food is good. Service is good. Portion is ok. Restaurant was empty. Suggestion: instead of giving so much rice, give some hummus and pita and reduce the amount of rice. read more

We love variety selections of rice dishes. The beef and yellow spilt peas curry goes so well with black cherry rice. I like the taste of dried lime in the curry and shoestring fries on top. The chef's special is very special. The beef koobideh is so juicy delicious. The berry rice goes so well with all the meats. We were full and could not finish our plates but we need the dessert. Persian ice cream is so refreshing good. It is a huge portion so we shared it (but then we wanted more). read more

Food was amazing, I do think dining in you get the best experience especially the food. Everything is juicy and delicious. If you order take out, do feel like you're missing out of the most freshness out of it and how it is served. Will say it's very up to par compare to Persian Room with its portions and tastefulness. Definitely feels welcoming :) read more

We love coming here. Service and food is great. Gluten free!! Even baklavas! Crazy Always awesome- catering and in house both! Super service and great flavors!! read more

I'm Persian and this has got to be one of the best if not the best Persian I've ever been to. I serious wtf

We ordered a chicken Shish kabab which was mostly dried and burned and a stew which always comes in a bowl with a side of rice as I have seen it in many other persian restaurants. Even though they charged much more than the usual price for this food, the quantity and quality was awful. They poured a thin layer of the stew over the rice which is quite strange and unusual. The stew amounted to one fourth of the stew being served in a bowl which is the customary way. Also it contained very little tiny pieces of beef which was ridiculous. I was quite disappointed. I will definitely not go back there and don't recommend it at all. read more

Most of the menu is gluten free!!! Their gluten free bread is delicious! The service is amazing, food delicious and we plan to return! Great ambiance for date nights and special occasions! read more

Wonderful food!! Pars Persian food. What great service and great ambience. Definitely go check this place out! read more

Pars is a solid choice for classic Persian dishes. The koobideh and chicken kabob are flavorful, and the stews are rich and comforting. It's a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a family-style dinner. read more

Well for starters they could bring the food out while it's still hot not cold. I didn't order gazpacho.second we ordered a platter and we had to catch the bus boy for our plates so that we could finally get started eating our dinner. It was a very disappointing experience for a $85.00 meal. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere, staff was attentive and explained the menu and what works well on the menu selections. Food was amazing and it's become a definite return to spot! read more

We have been regularly visiting Pars for quite some time and I wanted to share that we consistently receive excellent food and service. The freshness and quality is impressive and comparable to or even surpassing that of Persian Room. We love the tabouli salad, hummus, and dolmades. All of their dishes and flavors are delicious. We enjoy the chicken saltani and beef koobideh, we also wanted to acknowledge Jessica who delivered exceptional service. read more

Fabulous every time I go! The ambience, the servers, the food, simply delicious! My family and I have been faithful customers for years and will continue to support Pars in the future! read more

Pars Persian Cuisine has a convenient location with plenty of parking, making it an easy spot to visit. The interior is very nice, creating a pleasant ambiance for dining. However, the service is just okay, and the food wasn't very hot or fresh--it almost seemed like it had been reheated. That said, the flavor was decent, but the overall experience could have been better. read more

Cute restaurant in a strip mall. Service was very good, attentive and not intrusive. The chicken was nice and tender, salad fresh and tasty along with perfectly prepared rice. All the food was flavorful! read more

All the kabab dishes are delicious. The service was excellent. I have done take out recently, but last I did dine in, the experience was great. The restaurant is nice and welcoming. There is also a really nice patio if you would like to sit outside when it's nice. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped here on the way to Taliesen West. We ordered chicken shish kebab and oyster mushroom shish kebab. The dill and Lima and date and lentil rices were delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Was looking for a nearby Mediterranean restaurant and this was the closest. We were immediately seated and looking at the menu, my wife couldn't make sense of what to order until I showed her the pictures toward the back. My wife had her red wine (Bogel Pino Noir) $10/glass and I opted for a Coke ($4). We ordered the Koobideh Kebab ($23) and Lamb Barg Kebab ($28). My wife didn't want rice and substituted a Greek Salad. She wished that there was more lamb, but nevertheless enjoyed the flavors. My beef dish was also packed with flavor with two skewers of meat and the rice was nice and fluffy. I decided to take home the Baklava ($8) which was 4 small squares and wasn't freshly made. The server was accommodating and friendly and the premise was nicely decorated. My wife liked the chandelier with crystal balls. We'll be back read more

Delete, if it's against the rules For those of us who want to enjoy vegan options when eating out with non vegan friends Accidentally found this nice Persian restaurant. Food was delicious. Our waitress was so nice and friendly she made sure all of my orders was made vegan. Almost all of side dishes of rice are vegan and delicious. Give it a try you won't be disappointed. They do have one vegan entree " vegan ouster's mushrooms kebabs with side of rice" on the menu(3rd picture) and it's delicious and big enough to share ( rice with lentils raisins and Shafran- kinda sweet) 1 picture is order of side dish herbs dill cilantro garlic Shafran rice ( savory) 2 Shafran rice with barberries ( kinda sweet) They also have stuffed grape leaves that could be made vegan. I would really recommend to try this place. Prices are very reasonable read more

Gluten-free heaven! It's rare to find so many GF choices and even rarer for a restaurant like this to have GF bread. Pars has it all. Every bite was delicious. Their wine selection was reasonable and excellent, too. We'll be back at Pars every time we're in the area. read more

Grubhub delivery. Lamb shish kabob delicious. Salmon was overcooked & hardly anything to it. It was all rice for $31. I specifically asked for medium rare salmon too. They need another fish selection for people who do not eat meat. The appetizer platter was great. $121 for this. Expensive. read more

The food was amazing! I went on a Sunday night at 7pm and was so surprised that my mom and I were the only ones dining. I just moved here from Los Angeles and I can say the food is just as good if not better than Glendale,CA. Definitely recommend! read more

Always a solid choice when I'm craving Persian food. The koobideh and soltani are consistently delicious, and the service is friendly and quick. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

It was okay. Came here during lunch time and it was hardly anyone in the restaurant. We almost left because we weren't sure that we should eat here because we were concerned about the freshness of the food. When the food came it looked beautiful, but the flavor was okay. It's kind of a bit pricey for lunch because they don't have lunch menu, so pretty much you pay the same for lunch or dinner. Yup it was a bit disappointed. read more

They have delicious food, I really like the albaloo polo rice and dolme, also they have customer service, love it

While searching for Armenian food, this place came up in a Yelp search. This place is GREAT! The wife and I got the Chef's Special, which comes with 3 meats: Filet mignon, chicken filet and koobideh (which is like a ground beef kabob). While the combo is a bit pricey at $41, it is meant to be shared and they do bring out 2 decent size portions of basmati rice. We also ordered an appetizer of hummus. The thing I really liked about this hummus is the fact they don't drench the top of the hummus with olive oil...99% of all Middle Eastern restaurants do. Our waitress was pleasant and even boxed up our food for us. Here is the run-down: GOOD: - Food is excellent and never second-guessed the quality. - Food came out quick despite the prep work that I knows going into a meal like this. - The menu has large pictures of some of the dishes...helpful for those who aren't familiar with this type of cuisine. - The restaurant was clean and well kept. - The dining room was tastefully appointed...from the artwork, to the lighting and music playing softly, it had a homey (Persian) feel. BAD: - Some of the meals are a bit pricey. Would be nice if they offered the lunch specials on the weekend as well and not just on the weekdays. Also, $4 for a soda is a bit overkill. - The men's restroom, while really clean, is very hot on the inside. A solution would be to direct one of the A/C vents into the restrooms. - This one really isn't their fault, but they have a really beautiful patio area that isn't being used as the AZ heat is so brutal. Don't know if some large fans or misters would help, but I'm sure it's really pleasant outside of the summer months. UGLY: - None. Conclusion: I can't believe I'm just now finding out about this place after living in the East Valley for almost 10 years. I will definitely be back...and soon! read more

I visited the family during the Persian new year, and my cousin was swearing about this place, so I had to try their foods. So we called and ordered for pick up. We ordered Koobideh-Kebab (ground beef), which is Skewered & broiled with their Chef's special seasonings & minced onions, And Chicken Shish-Kebab comes with Thick chunks of charbroiled chicken breast in their special marinating sauce with bell peppers, onions & tomatoes, and finally, my favorite, the Cornish-Kebab (a cornish hen), was very juicy, and it is a 24oz, marinated, skewered & broiled Cornish hen. I took 1 star because the food was a little salty, and Koobideh was dry. The plaza provides much parking for customers, and its outdoor seating is well decorated and bright. Inside was beautiful as well, with many excellent pictures. read more

A nice Persian restaurant in a quite area, good food but pricy. They served the food pretty fast. We ordered the chicken Soltani and the Koobideh. The Chicken was very good, koobideh was okay but has a wired smell. I have been to Persian restaurants all around the country and I think the food here is a little over priced. read more

Always the best in town. The greatest hospitality, the most incredible meat, and the nicest, intimate space. We take everyone here.

Okay overall. I always rate restaurants on three factors: atmosphere, food, and service. Pars Persian Cuisine was okay in all three categories. We tried the chicken soltani dish with a salad upgrade, and standard soltani with "lubia pelow" rice upgrade. We also ordered mast-o museer (garlic yogurt), dessert and tea. The main part of our meal were the kabobs (meats). The meats seem to struggle, resulting in a chewy texture. Also, the rice complimenting the meats should have been fluffy and full of saffron aroma and was instead soggy. The flavors were all there so it wasn't a total fail. It has potential with a little quality control. We hope it gets there! read more

Ate here a few times years ago; it was quite good! Great service and atmosphere! Really enjoyed it!

Our party of 4 had a delicious kabob meal here. We ordered the Pars shish kabob combo and added another lamb kabob. The meat was well seasoned, tender and moist. The tomatoes, onions and peppers were cooked just right with a pleasant char. Service was outstanding. Friendly waitress must have noticed that we were novices with Persian food. She popped by to explain how to use the seasoning in the shaker to make a sauce with the roasted tomatoes. read more
