My coworkers and I eat here probably once a week. The lunch buffet is out of this world good. Small salad bar with some delicious hummus, and then the hot food is just amazing. Rice, grilled vegetables, chicken some beef skewers and then a couple other dishes are there every time. It's not very big, but the flavors are huge. The place is super nice inside and the service is outstanding. Definitely a small family run place, but you feel like you're stepping into their home to eat. I truly cannot express how much this place is a diamond in the roof. The outside there's not much signage, I did not know it was there until a coworker brought me. But it is now my favorite place to eat. read more

Family owned and operated, and we have always had a good experience here. Food is always cooked fresh to order and very tasty. Good portion sizes and selection at reasonable price. We've been going here for years. Highly recommended!! read more

Excellent! The same as it was before the pandemic. Friendly and attentive service, delicious and authentic food, cozy atmosphere. And quiet enough to actually have a conversation! The bread is delicious as ever! And the kabob melts in your mouth! Definitely a must! read more

The food was absolutely amazing! We had the chicken barg and beef koobideh. The bread was to die for! So fresh and perfectly crispy and golden but also soft on the inside. Amazing service! It was quiet, nice lighting, and lightly decorated inside. Perfect for a date or a group outing! The prices were very fair, unlike some of the other nearby Persian restaurants. read more

So amazingly yummy!! The rosewater ice cream dessert has turned me into a returning customer.

OMG, let's just start off with how every bite from everything we ordered was heaven sent. All the flavors of each dish were delicious and tasted so authentic. Portions were perfect. Service was great, Amy was a sweet heart and very informative. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Persian cuisine. read more

I wasn't sure when I first walked in. The interior was dated. However the food was delicious. The hummus was hands down the best hummus I have ever had. I also had kabobs. It was all perfect. I am still being tantalized by looking at these pictures. The staff was on point as well. Very professional and proficient on the menu. I strongly recommend. **It says a lot if I repeat a visit to a restaurant in a place with abundant places to eat. I regularly eat at this place when I am remotely near Sandy Springs. read more

Friendly staff and recently updated interior. I used to eat here almost weekly when I lived in Atlanta and the buffet was great. Sadly, the buffet has been gone since the pandemic but I still eat here when I am in town. read more

Most horrible food ever had in my life, no flavor, no taste, pricy, no worth any penny.

The food is good, but I was surprised a buffet automatically adds an 18% gratuity. When I go up to get my own food, that seems unreasonable. read more

I stopped in on a Friday evening not knowing much about the place. A friend advised she had never eaten here, but heard it was good. I know, risky business! Upon walking in I loved the vibe. It's a very classic restaurant. The staff was friendly and helps me make a decision. I opted for the salmon kabobs. I placed my to go order and paid for my order at the bar. I was advised that it would take about 15-20 minutes to prepare. As such. I opted to wait outside on the bench at the entrance. I feel like it took them much longer than 20 minutes, but I can't confirm this because I am not certain of what time I placed the order. However, I must say it was worth the wait. The food was fresh, and there was a ton of it! I honestly ate off it for 3 servings! The salmon kabobs came with rice. Roasted veggies, a rendition of a side salad, and the freshest naan! The salmon was cooked to perfection. It was slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The veggies were to die for. If you are a big rice eater you will love the amount they serve here. I honestly ended up tossing a large portion of it since I don't eat a ton of rice. I look forward to checking this place out again. Next time I will dine in and get the full experience! read more

Buffet is back as of 2025-02 Everything was tasty But be advised. The price you are quoted on entry is not accurate. There is an 18% service fee added on for "service". Or is that just for certain customers? The receipt looks like a tip is expected on top of that No other buffet does this Not Rasoi in Roswell, not Moon in Alpharetta, not Sankranti in Johns Creek not Golden Corral Now you are advised read more

Very fresh and delicious food.great service and ambience.I visited this place very often.

I met a group of friends there, and we all loved this restaurant! The food was delicious -- especially the incredible bread!! The kabobs were delicious and not overly dry. The ambience was lovely, and the service was very gracious. A true hidden gem! read more

The food at this place is absolutely amazing. The chicken was insane, kebab was so good and the home made ice cream was the cherry on top. Our server was very nice, helpful and informed about the food. The decoration in the restaurant is amazing as well! 10/10 would recommend. We will be returning read more

Sandy Springs seems to be the center of outstanding Persian cuisine. We visited Persepolis for an early dinner recently. Our server was courteous and prompt with our drinks and appetizers (including fresh pita bread) After a short period of time, our meals arrived. The food is always prepared to the perfect temperature and is consistently delicious. I appreciate the Gormeh Sabzi stew and the ground beef shishka bob skewers known as kubideh. All the portions are generous. No one left hungry, and we all had plenty of food leftover for the next day's lunch. We will be returning soon. read more

My boss took me here. He loves Persian food. I had zero expectations. The food, the wine, and the drinks were so good, I was pleasantly surprised. It was empty considering we went 12pm for lunch, so I'd recommend here for authentic Persian food. I will go back to try another dish. They only thing I didn't like was the baklava. It was can't of dry and nutty, I guess I'm used to Whole Foods baklava's being gooey and sweet. Theirs wasn't that. But everything else was great. read more

Ordered the Fish Kabob and the Napoleon for pickup. The fish kabob meal was plentiful, enough to feed a small family, in my opinion. Unfortunately, the salmon was overcooked and the rice was over buttered, yet bland. The worst part was the Napoleon, though. Their website boasts "daily fresh pastries", while this Napoleon tasted at least 5-6 days old - such a disappointing meal. read more

Stumbled upon this place via Yelp a few months back. The tahdig appetizer piqued my interest the most (I'd never had it), but when I called to place an order midday I was told this dish was only available close to closing. Note: Though it doesn't say so on the menu, Tahdig is only offered towards the end of the night, and can only be served under certain circumstances so it's not commonly available. Fueled even more by the fact I had to wait, I kept this dish in my mind, and called to try and order it at least twice a week for at least a month weeknight dinners. Each time I was told they didn't have the dish that day. Finally, on like my eight time calling, I was informed that the reason it isn't available often, is because there is a delicate balance between perfect and burned at the bottom , and if it is burned then they choose not to sell it as to not turn off customers. Which I understood, and again it fueled my desire for it more. Then finally, one glorious night I called and they had it! I eagerly ordered it for to go/pickup, adding a fish kabob in case the appetizer wasn't able to fill me. The good news is, the appetizer took up a full to go box, so it was more than enough. And the meat/stew was moist and flavorful. The bad is, my understanding of Tahdig was that most of the rice was soft and light, with a thin crispy layer on top--however the plate I received was nothing but a hard layer of tough, chewy rice, not at all softened by the stew. It actually looked like they were cooked separately and the stew topped the crisped rice instead if it all being cooked together like I was led to believe. While flavorful, the rice was so tough to chew that overall the dish was a let down from the months if waiting I ensured to try it. However, the salmon in the fish plate was blackened and flavorful, as were the veggies that came with it. The basmati beneath the fish was much more the consistency I expected the non crispy layer of Tahdig to be, although at that point I was over rice. The plate also came with a humongous piece of pita--bigger that the too and bottom of a to go container. Three stars because of the pent up anticipation and letdown of the Tahdig. BUT because everything else was good, I'll likely try here again for an in person experience where I can ask questions about what the Tahdig should look/taste like, before I order it again. read more

1st time here. The food was pretty good. Really just a lot of rice with some chicken on it. The chicken was very good and seasoned well but after eating some rice and the 1 piece of chicken I had no idea what to do with the rest of it. As stated in other reviews. There is an old man in there that greets you but does it sitting down from across the restaurant and does not bother to get up and ask how may I help. The ambiance was nice for where it is located looked very clean. If I was in the area and was absolutely craving Persian food I might stop in again. I was the only one in there at 6:30 on a Thursday night. Felt bad for the waitress who was on her EarPods sitting at a table not making any money at all. read more

As a Persian-- This place is a disgrace. We walked in and asked for the menu. Why on EARTH are you guys charging so much for the simplest dishes?!!! At this point an American can look up a recipe and make it their own. This place is an absolute insult to Iranian cuisine and culture. Ambiance was ok, nothing fantastic but also not horrible. To be honest we did not even bother trying the food, and now that I'm reading some reviews, the food doesn't seem authentic either. Please get a grip!!! ‍ read more

What you need to know: Solid kabobs but an OVERLOAD of rice. Dolmeh is way too sweet - overbearingly so. After watching a show about Persian food, we had a craving, so ordered via UberEats. Food: We ordered the Kubideh Kabob, the Lamb Kabob, and an order of Dolmeh. The kubideh kabob was just ok. It satisfies a craving, but was under seasoned for me. The lamb kabob however was HEAVEN! The lamb was extremely juicy, flavorful, and very very tender. The drawback from both of these is they came with about 3lbs worth of rice and one grilled tomato. Now the tomato was great, but the rice was just a waste. I love saffron rice as much as the next person, but I'd gladly sacrifice most of the rice they give for a better side dish like a salad that would give a different flavor and component to the dish. The dolmeh was way too sweet - almost like candy. Not what I expected and would not recommend. Price: Paid $73 for two kabob plates and the dolmeh. Extremely overpriced for what you get. Overall, the kabobs were solid but wayyyy overpriced. The kubideh was under seasoned, but the lamb kabobs were absolutely DIVINE. Probably won't order from here again due to price, but it's solid. Would gladly sacrifice 2/3rd's of the rice for a different side to make the plate more diverse. read more

I used to love going to this place. The food is great and so are the people there too. However, my most recent experience has led me to believe otherwise. We went there over the weekend to celebrate my mom's birthday. I asked the server to keep a cake for us so he could bring it around towards the end; he told me there's a charge of $15. I was shocked! I asked him if there's a charge If he didn't bring it and I just put the cake on the table; he said the same $15. Then, when I was paying the bill I noticed we were charged twice for a soda. Upon asking him, I was told because I took a few sips of my wife's soda, he charged me twice. The guy said it was policy. I mean how ridiculous was this!? We spent $156 there and he was being petty for $3 worth of soda. I, DEFINITELY, will not return. read more

There are many Persian places to choose from in Atlanta. What makes this place special is the attentive service and intimate atmosphere. (I love Rumi's too, but it always feels so crowded and loud.) We all enjoyed the food, especially our appetizers- huge quantity of fresh baked flatbread accompanied the eggplant dip and hummus we ordered along with a lovely plate of fresh herbs/feta/nuts. Lamb kabob and chicken barg were delicious, and of course we love the fluffy rice. Recommend the upcharge for the lentil rice. We will be back! read more

I'm so sad they no longer have the Persian lunch buffet, but the food is still great. I will always love this place because it has a real traditional Persian homey vibe. Eating here brings me great memories of when my family and I would come when I was much younger. If you're visiting for the first time, make sure to try the kabob sultani. So SO tender and delicious. read more

I have never ever been in a restaurant where the manager/server tells a small group of ladies that we're ordering too much butter as it is very expensive. We come there quite often & frankly this restaurant has lost our business. We live in a 55 & over community & we are telling everyone not to go there any longer. As it was, there was only about 3 other small parties there last night. The food on the menu is expensive & they have gone up quite a bit since covid which I completely understand; however to say that about the butter is entirely rude so they have completely lost our business & a lot of people we know!! read more

Persepolis is the OG Persian restaurant in the Atlanta area and it's still a classic. I have been here countless times for family gatherings, date nights, etc. The restaurant is spacious and perfect for large groups and family events. The food is absolutely delicious! Very well marinated meats, fresh vegetables, and savory sauces. Service is very good and accommodating. They also have amazing belly dancers performing on Friday and Saturday nights. read more

I quite enjoyed the food here. Went on a Saturday afternoon and we were the only customers dining in. A couple of customers came to pick up orders during the time we were eating. When we arrived they were cleaning up the buffet area. It seems like they have buffet hours and prices that end at a certain time. It is a nicely set up restaurant on the inside, nice decor, spacious and the food was tasty and had great portion sizes. Private parking lot and the restaurant itself can be a little easy to miss because of the location. Once you turn in you have to go to the end of the parking lot and the entrance is there as well. It has and seems like a family owned restaurant. read more

Pretty good place! We always go to Rumi's for Persian food but decided to try this place out. We ordered the naan, chicken barg, and kubideh kabob. The portions are definitely very big, which was good because the entrees were on the pricey end. The naan was huge! It was pretty good. Next time, I'll have to get hummus or some other dip to go with it. Both of our entrees came, still hot, with plenty of seasoned saffron basmati rice and a grilled tomato. My chicken barg was simply amazing! I was worried it would be over cooked or too dry as I've had some disappointing experiences with chicken kabobs, but this was perfect. It was well seasoned, moist, and not too salty. My bf got the beef kubideh kabob and he thought it was really good as well. He said he prefers the one at Rumi but this was still a great alternative! For him, this one is less seasoned or something. We were happy with our food - the entrees were very filling, and we had plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. read more

Absolutely delicious meal, nice and quiet atmosphere, and gracious service. This is the kind of place you can actually hear your dinner conversation (instead of having to shout at your dinner companions over loud music)! Started with the sautéed eggplant and a plate of Persian pickles, and almost made our meal out of the flatbread mmmm! Very satisfied with the flavors of our entrees (chicken barg and salmon kabob), and then absolutely loved dessert of pistachio rosewater ice cream and baklava! We will be back! read more

My buddy and I were chatting about the Persian food scene and he recommended Persepolis and one other place. But, he did pinpoint this place a goto if I wanted to try a variety of things since they have a buffet. Anyways, made my pilgrimage and checked it out. As promised, they have a buffet. A couple options on the rice. 3 different choices of meat. A couple of bean based dishes. A vegetarian bar with boiled eggs, salad, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. they also have a hot tomato dish. I tried all of the meats, both rice, the hot tomatoe dish, and the bread they brought to the table. Not bad, not bad at all. Darn right good. I really LOVED the steak(?) and the other meat. The chicken was not my favorite. I loaded up on the other meat but only got the chicken once. Their hot tomato dish was pretty good too. The saffron rice was delicious. But man...the meat. So good. The dessert wasn't all that. Underwhelming. Grapes were good tho. Nice, fat, and juicy. Ok end to an otherwise good meal. What bothered me, however, was that I don't feel like the price reflected what I got. As of March 10, 2018, the weekend buffet was $21 and change after(or before) tax. Steep. All in all, If you can spare the dimes, give it a try. It's a bit pricey but definitely worth checking out. read more

I haven't been to Rumis myself, but according to my coworkers, this place is good but Rumis is better. We went for lunch buffet around 12p on a Friday with a group of 12. They were able to accommodate us easily and we were practically the first ones so the buffet was well-stacked. The food was good, but expensive for lunch. Lunch buffet is $16 + tip so excited to spend $20 on lunch with tip and tax. Ouch. I was with coworkers so I didn't want to take too many pictures but I did snag one of the food on my plate. They have a cold side and a hot side and a few desserts in a case between the two. At least I think they were desserts. Nothing is labeled so I have no idea. They'll tell you what each item is but I didn't want to ask for all of them, just a few. Cold side had vegetarian dolmas, hummus, baba ghanoush(so), spinach dip, cucumber dip, salad, some kind of herb, tomatoes.. Hot side had VERY lemon chicken, white rice, rice with some kind of herb in it, kofta (looks like kofta), another beef, 2 stews.. They bring fresh bread to the table to dip In the sauces, also. It's small yet everyone has space inside. Overall, it's good. Worth trying if you've never been but at the price, I'm not sure how often id go back. read more

Fast and very friendly service. The food is delicious with generous portions. The fish kabob (usually or maybe always salmon) is delicious. It has a nice char that gives it incredible flavor. The chicken kabobs are always a favorite too. The location doesn't jump out at you so be sure not to miss it on Roswell Rd. It will definitely be worth your visit. read more
