Delicious Lamb platter, enough for two with leftovers! Included kebab, chicken kebab, and 5 absolutely luscious small lamb chops. Served with two grilled tomatoes and a large plate of rice. Upon being seated water and a plate of pita, butter,fresh Basel, and large onion slices were provided. Service was prompt. read more

Tahdig was perfect, especially considering the speed of arrival. Stews were variable, gormeh sabzi was ok, geimeh too bland, fessenjan very sweet. Shirazi salad and mustokhiar were the stars. Would try the kebab! read more

Great people! Amazing lamb! One of the best in Seattle Definitely try it out !!! Large portions read more

First time eating here and did not read Yelp reviews prior. Ordered chicken kebab and midway through the meal, i found a strand of hair about 3 inches long under the rice. That led me to look for other hair in the plate and found another small piece of hair embedded in a piece of chicken. Would have given 1 star but gave two for customer service as waitress didn't charge for the plate without us asking for it. Wished I should have read reviews prior as hair in the food has happened before. Gave a suggestion to waitress to perhaps have cooks wear a hairnet. read more

The service was excellent and very friendly Barg kebab and appetizers were very tasty and authentic and portions were generous however the vegetarian Ada's polo was very disappointing as you could count the lentils with few raisins !!! this dish is suppose to have carmelized onion with plenty of lentils ( more than rice ) to give it adequate protein but instead there was only rice with few lentils and very dry !!! read more

Dough (yogurt drink) was great and so we're other dishes (friend ordered so don't have the names on me). Quick service. Would recommend substituting any of the rices (polos in the vegetation section) as a side for the meat dishes. read more

Pretty authentic Persian food! I wasn't expecting to find solid Persian in Seattle but this place is pretty close. Not the best I've ever had but comparable to the takeaway places I grew up getting Persian food from growing up in CA. As far as kabobs go the khoobideh, barg, lamb, and chicken are all great. The ghormeh sabzi is pretty good too. Importantly, they do the rice well. Definitely a good place though slightly pricey side. read more

Having been to many Persian restaurants in the past two years, this may be the worst. Not only is the food of poor quality but the place is absolutely filthy. I'm lead to believe that the state of Washington does not have a Board of Heath. This is very unfortunate as there are very few Halal options in Seattle. Simply put avoid Perssoplois! read more

Very good quality, authentic. Especially the stew. Gheimeh bademjan was superb. Service was excellent for our pickup.

I was there two times already and I absolutely love their food. The first time I went there on Wednesday and it wasn't busy at all. But when I went on Sunday there were a lot more people. I'm going back again for sure. The only dish I didn't like was something with eggplant I don't remember the exact name but it had a strong apply cider kinda flavor and I didn't like it. Overall it's still 5 stars in my books read more

Friendly service and delicious food. The lamb kabobs were the best. They were cooked medium to temp which was more than I wanted but was so surprised how soft and juicy they were. read more

The staff were extremely friendly, the atmosphere welcoming, and the food was absolutely fantastic! I got the Soltani, Mirza Ghasemi, among other things and everything was delicious and spot on. Thank you! read more

Yum! First time having Persian food. For those who have not tried Persian cuisine before, it's similar to Mediterranean. I got the ground beef kebab which was super flavorful with a charred sear. Highly recommend. I also tried a puréed eggplant dish which was very good. Can't wait to try more dishes. read more

Great service, and delicious dishes at reasonable price. Tahdig might not be the best option as an appetizer. Koobideh is not the best one, but the Barg and Fesenjan are grade A. read more

We came here for dinner last night, FINALLY! We have definitely been eyeing it on Yelp for a while. It seemed they had just gotten done with a dinner rush but we were seated right away at a clean table. We ended up ordering Mirza Ghasemi (an eggplant dip) and The King's Choice combination (3 different kabobs and rice) and the meal came with bread. We also ordered wine. It's not listed on their regular menu so if you are interested in that, they do serve wine and most likely beer. The food was very tasty! The dip was a nice appetizer to start with. The kabobs were very juicy, large and flavorful. It would've been nice if the combo had come with a little bit of sauce for the kabobs, maybe yogurt sauce BUT still very good without! The service was very friendly from start to finish. The inside is very nice, including the bathroom! I would recommend it and I look forward to coming back and trying new dishes. I really want to try their ice cream, looks yummy! read more

Mixed feelings about this restaurant. The interior has character, but also feels kind of dated and worn out. Service is very friendly which is quite nice. The food was just so so, including the dill rice just being too dried out and not enjoyable on my last visit. The chicken tasted decent but seemed slightly undercooked. Tea was not ready until after I had already finished eating, so it was a disappointment having to skip it. I didn't feel so well several hours after dining here, so I question if something was mishandled or done incorrectly during the preparation of my food. Maybe it was the chicken being slightly undercooked. Overall, maybe an average restaurant, but not at the level I had hoped for. read more

Goto Persian food in Seattle -- awesome staff, huge portions, great value, taste is 2nd to none!

Delicious food and we keep coming back for more. I absolutely love showing people what Persian food is and how healthy and flavorful it is. Everything is grilled and seemingly traditional from what experience I've had with this cuisine. I would suggest ordering straight on the phone instead of via delivery companies - it bypasses the extra fees and they do give you a discount! Our favorite entrees are the chicken kaboob, koobideh, and the eggplant borani. The lamb was delicious too and I never eat lamb. Tender and juicy. My favorite rice is the one with the cranberries and turmeric! As simple as it sounds, the lavash eaten with the basil, sweet onion is a house favorite. It is so simple and yet so good! The roasted roma tomatoes adds that freshness and tartness that is distinct to Persian eats. All of this food for 3 people still gave us leftovers so trust that whatever you think you'll have for one will be plenty! Persian food is refreshing and tasty! There's nothing like it and Persepolis Grill provides :) read more

Have not been here yet but the reviews and pictures says it all, great food and service at a nice location with great prices, visiting from California, you would pay 40% more for a lesser quality Persian foods in California. read more

I wish Yelp had a half b/c I would give another half. Overall, great meal. We ordered takeout for a small group and had the eggplant borani, chicken kabob, and koobideh. Everything tasted great but was just a tad bland. It definitely needed salt (which we can easily add). The meat was tender. The rice was cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed the meal and would definitely go back! Try this place out, I'm sure you'd love it as well. read more

this is one of the most authentic Persian restaurant with great quality and tasty food that I ever experienced. We ordered ground beef Kabob and Soltani , both were so delicious and very generous portions . Staff were so nice. Definitely will go back again. read more

Wonderful service! Thank you Sumi for your help! My God Father said you did a great job! read more

I'm going to update my former review based on my my most recent experience: I used to go to Persepolis when I was studying at UW almost every two weeks. They have made a lot of improvements since then. [absolutely true] Their price is a bit high for students considering that they're located at the U District, but the portions are huge. [The have become smaller than before] The food is delicious and fresh, but it's always cold. [It wasn't cold, but it did take them almost 40 minuets to prepare the food] Also don't get their Tahdig, it might break your teeth. I don't say this based on a one time experience, I say this as a regular customer. I've tried everything on their menu, even the ice cream. It is tooooooo sweet. [I had it tonight and it tasted wonderful] I think except for the ones that I described, everything else tastes wonderful. I hope they can renovate their place to make it more pleasant for the customers. [They have!] If you want to go there with a group of friends, they will always have enough space! New update: The owner is absolutely wonderful and friendly. He makes sure that everyone are happy with their orders. However, the waiter who took our orders tonight spoke in an offensive manner. Although my friends couldn't understand persian, they felt the tension. He was not patient enough to explain the options and his lack of knowledge about the items in the menu was very transparent. read more

We had a great experience overall. Good food, nice ambience, decent prices and good service! The Ash reshteh needed improvement; it was a bit watery. But the Soltani, Egg plant dish and saffron ice cream were great! I really liked the pictures on the wall; wish they had labeled them. read more

Found my favorite Persian food Spot in Emerald City. Great food, koodideh was extremely high in quality and rice was very good plate. My wife Loved her plate as well food was very fulfilling and came with all condiments Persian food needs to have. Staff was very friendly and polite. Highly recommended. read more

The portions are huge, but the quality of the food is mediocre. Some menu items actually don't suit my taste at all. I refuse to eat there again. read more

I was so hopeful with this restaurant. The gheimei and gormei were both delicious and homemade. The app asked how we wanted the kubideh and steak, which was med rare, but everything was well done and dry. It was late in the day so maybe that's why. By the way, I think the Yogurt was homemade. read more

The food was amazing! Authentic Persian food, The stews were homemade and the kabob was so flavorful and juicy! If you want amazing, authentic, Persian food please eat here. Seriously i am blown away!!!!! read more

This is the most cheap and stingy restaurant I ever been to. The owner is fighting with the customers over a Somak tiny container that has about 5 grams of fake Somak (not even real Somak) . And when the customer said he will pay extra for it the owner acted as if he doesn't care about it. What a freaking cheap soul. Anyone who goes there has to bring his own salt , pepper and Somak too because there's a psychopath owner sitting there watching customers how much they use of these spices. read more

Food didn't get delivered. Waited one hour and no one showed up. Very disappointed in this order

Living in U-District, I passed by this spot many times and decided to try it out recently. No regrets! It was my first time trying Persian food and it was amazing. I ordered the Koobideh Kabob plate which includes two ground skewers and rice. I definitely underestimated the portions and got full after eating 1 skewer and some scoops of rice. This turned into a dinner and lunch the next day. I enjoyed the seasoning and spices on this plate. Definitely recommend! Looking forward to trying more dishes here in the near future. read more

Delicious food everytime, never disappointed. They have very traditional persian food and homemade taste like my grandma's food. The chicken kabobs are the most tender kabob you will ever have. Kashke bademjoon is the best The staff are very friendly. Thanks for feeding us taste of home read more

Just a few minute walk from my apartment, decided to try this place out since I'm a huge fan of middle-eastern cuisine. Wonderful ambiance with Persian music and decor inviting us in, great and attentive service from the staff, and a very tasty meal from start to finish! Kabobs are always an option for this guy, so I got the Bakhari combo with the chicken and barg, while my friend got the lamb rack. Well seasoned, flavorful, juicy meats, and the mast-o-moosir was a dip we couldn't stop scooping on our rice, meats, and lavish bread. The atmosphere felt more upscale than a typical kabob place, and the food tasted anything but typical! read more

Super yummy! I came here with my boyfriend. The staff was very attentive to us and checking in to make sure we enjoyed our meal. For an appetizer we ordered the Mast-o-moosir, and for our main course we ordered the Zereshk polo with chicken, and Koobideh and Barg kabobs. For dessert we got the Faloodeh. PLENTY of food for two! The mast-o-moosir was great! Really glad we had it to eat with our flatbread as well as our rice in our main dishes. The Koobideh was incredible and easily our fav. Very tender and flavorful. The Barg was still good, but slightly overcooked for us/a bit too tough. The rice that came with the chicken had dried cherries in it that were a great touch of flavor. The Faloodeh was amazing as well. Highly recommend! read more

Best middle eastern food on the ave by far! Open reasonably late but still excellent. Very friendly staff. I always get the Barg. Also a nice place to hang out at for lunch. read more

The place is very dirty. From tables, dishes, utensils, and glasses, to the wall and bathroom, service counter, everything I looked, it was dirty. Food was ok, I went there on recommendation of a friend, and only because of food. Considering how dirty the customer area was, I don't want to even imagine how dirty the kitchen could possibly be. Eat the food, paid, and walked out, in a hope that I don't get sick. I hope this review is view buy the owner(s) and do something about the image of there business. I will not go there again, and will not recommend it to anyone. read more

We were visiting from LA. I wanted something healthy and balanced for dinner so I opted for this place due to the high reviews. It was a great decision. From the moment we entered we were greeted and seated immediately. The servers were very attentive and we were constantly checked on. Everything was delicious. We ordered Koobideh, Flank Steak, Chicken, Rice, and Salad. I would love to return if I'm ever in Seattle again. read more

Stopped in for lunch during the week after a walk through Ravenna Park. We were seated immediately and given a pitcher of water and a basket of warm lavash, accompanied by a plate of mint, parsley, raw onion, and wrapped pats of butter. I ordered a chicken kebab and my husband ordered a spicy barg (steak) kebab. Chicken was really tender and it was served with an insane amount of rice (like 4+ cups?), but I kind of wish there had been a sauce or something with it. This would have been a 3-star review - I mean, the food was fine and the portions were big, but the service brought it down to 2 stars and here's why: the waitress was fairly unfriendly in both her tone and her facial expressions, and at the very end of the meal when she brought the bill, my husband handed her his credit card, and she says, "Do you have cash?" while staring at him. He's like, "Uh...I think so," and starts looking through his wallet while the waitress just continues staring, and I'm thinking - doesn't this place take cards? On my way to the bathroom, I passed their cashier station, where I could clearly see a credit card sticker for Visa/Mastercard, so I have no idea what that was about. We ended up leaving a bigger tip than normal despite the odd situation because my husband didn't have any smaller bills on him. I probably wouldn't go back because of this specific experience, to be honest. It was rude and off-putting. read more
