I always enjoy the Persian grill! I'm rating 5 stars because of the waitress was extremely attentive.

This unassuming spot turns out tasty Persian plates. Lush vegetation hides a comfortable dining room, not bad for a casual date. Try the boneless Joojeh-kabab ($16.95; credit cards accepted), with hearty chicken breast chunks. The dish is flavorful, with a hint of charcoal. A glass of pinot from the bar follows well. Like spice? Ask for hot sauce; I was unexpectedly surprised by how good it was. For dessert, nothing beats cotton candy-esque pashmak - be sure to try the ginger variety if they have any! read more

My wife and I had lunch here and she got the lamb kabob and I got the steak kabob. We ordered both to be prepared rare, but it was done medium well. Although the meal tasted good, it was dry because it was overcooked for us. Service was good and the rice with the crispy bottom was very tasty. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and maybe the overcooked meat was an anomaly. read more

Obsessed with this place! I live really far but I drove here when I was in king of Prussia because I am always missing authentic Persian food and this place did not disappoint! Everything was amazing and they even have a cute little Persian garden in front. read more

Persian Grill - Saffron Persian Ice Cream-Akbar Mashti soooooo goood - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania

I love the Iranian food here. I don't know if it's authentic but it's delicious! We go for special occasions though I think that the prices are great for what you get. The service is quick and though the ambiance is not formal, it fits the Iranian theme. read more

Blown away by the amazing taste of their kebabs. It was our first time trying the Persian restaurant. The restaurant has good parking outside as well as a beautiful exterior and interior. We tried a couple of different kebab platters. Initially the prices seem a little hefty on the menu but when we saw our entrées, it was all worth it. Be prepared to eat a lot of food. The kebabs are huge and full of amazing spices and taste. Staff is really courteous and helpful. The desert which included a persian ice cream was OK. I will definitely go back to this restaurant for their amazing kebabs, not so much for the desert. Will definitely recommend this place. read more

Very solid kabobs, no matter which kind. Even the chicken kabobs were nice and moist on the inside while perfectly charred on the outside - something I've found in only few places in the Philly area. We tried beef, lamb, and chicken, and they were all very tender and flavorful. The rice that came with the kabobs was unflavored, but it was good for keeping sodium levels in check and a good complement to the saltier parts of the dish. If more flavoring is absolutely necessary, they do have condiments on the table. The best part of the rice was that there were crispy pieces which added texture to the dish. I wasn't a huge fan of the pita and butter they offered at the beginning, but everything else was fresh and well-made. The dessert combo of saffron ice cream and faloodeh was very interesting and tasty. The service was good and the dining space is lovely. Although the portions are significant, the food did not feel too heavy. The distance to the restaurant is probably not walkable or roller-bladeable from Center City Philly unless you have sturdy ankles and a lot of time, but there is conveniently a parking lot for people with cars. read more

Phenomenal middle eastern food! Great place to hit up after your trail hike. Babaganoush is very good as is the biryani. They brew their own alcohol that is tasty albeit strong. Desserts are A+ as is the bread. I could eat the pita for centuries. Not to be missed. read more

I took my partner to Persian Grill to celebrate our anniversary on Friday night. We agreed on a recommended appetizer, Tahdig-Khoresh. Caution: This app is so sinfully rich and flavorful, if you don't watch yourself - you'll spoil your meal by filling up on it! The crispiness of the scorched bread/rice was wonderful, and as it sat under the stew, it drew in the moisture, the texture changed to a softer-soggy consistency, and it even seemed better that way. For entrees, we shared the Kabob Koubideh and Khoresh Bademjan dishes. The rice was perfect, the stew was perfect, the beef was perfect! The whole team truly let us know they appreciated our business by providing the perfectly orchestrated service, recommendations, check-backs, and dessert taunt - warmed baklava. Yum! Applause, applause! Our experience was awesome ... AGAIN! read more

Fortunately, I tried the Ghormeh Sabzi that's also spelled as Qormeh Sabzi (Persian:‌) (Azerbaijani:Sbzi Qovurma) is an Iranian herb stew. It is a very popular dish in Iran and neighboring Azerbaijan Republic. It is often said to be the Iranian national dish. The history of Ghormeh sabzi dates back at least 500 to 2,000 years. read more

The Persian Grill is (surprise) decorated in Persian Style. We were seated immediately, but the menu is a bit hard to interpret, with many choices and combinations. The wait staff are all friendly, and answer any questions about the food and serving sizes. My favorite dish is the rice. It is extremely delicious, and you can order the crispy rice from the bottom of the pan separately, and it is Good. Some of the meats were amazingly tasty, but one of us got an order that was very dry. Generally good place. read more

Love this spot! The food is known for its authenticity. We've enjoyed everything we have eaten there over the years. We especially love the kebabs, and lamb dishes. read more

Persian Grill - We try to come here atleast once a year. They never disappoint. Everything we've ever ordered has been bursting with flavorful. - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania

Vinod and Vimal have learned the perfect way to make this Persian restaurant even more delectable! Never in ~40 years have I been let down enjoying the delicious foods that are offered. Ok, Kinda clinical statement - but the food is the bomb! read more

Outstanding small, family-run restaurant, great vegetarian choices, but plenty of classic meat dishes as well. Inexpensive. Full bar, apparently - we did not try any alcoholic beverages, but looks like a nice glass of wine could be had with dinner. I had a vegetable kabob platter - I recommend combining with a side dish, like maust-o-moosir or mirza-ghasemi. Lamb (kabob) platter got very good reviews as well from my deputy Yelper. Excellent Persian tea and coffee - and, they offer refills on both the tea and coffee. Some Yelpers have made noises about slow table service. Nonsense! We walked in in the middle of the afternoon, got a friendly greeting, were seated immediately, and our server was very attentive throughout the meal. Don't leave without getting the baklava - perhaps the best I've ever had. Will be back, for sure. read more

I only live a few blocks away from this restaurant, but last weekend was my first time eating from here. My husband's family has come here multiple times and said it was good. I suggested getting takeout on the way home from our shopping trip. We started off with the nargesi appetizer which was sautéed spinach with some egg. It was good, almost tasted like broccoli rabe. We didn't get hummus because we eat it a lot at home. I would have ordered some though if I knew we were going to get 4 pieces of pita bread with our meal. I got some of my own humus out to dip all the bread in since we had so much. My husband and I split the albaloo polo which was Cornish hen with red cherries, saffron rice and an orange sauce, and the kabab bareh soltani, which was a combo of lamb kabob and ground beef kabob. Both entrees were a little over cooked and dried out. Maybe it would have been better if we ate it there, I don't know. I liked the flavor of the Cornish hen with the cherries, but the rice was a little dry also and I didn't taste any orange sauce that was supposed to be on there. They give you more rice and pita bread than anything and not enough of the meat. Even the skewers didn't have much pepper or onion with them. I think it's a little overpriced for the amount of food you get. read more

When I came to the Persian Grill, I ordered the Shirin Polo Dinner, which was the cornish hen with rice. If I can remember correctly was A2. On the menu they wrote that this dish is served at Persian weddings, so I figured I couldn't go wrong. The waiter was even cool about my almond allergy and made sure the dish did not have it in there. The dish looked good and tasted really good. The dish was large, so I had some leftovers, which I gave to someone who is a picky eater. They loved the cornish hen. The service here was good as well and they were so patient with our large table. Not everyone knew what to order and they were helpful about it. If you are a tea or coffee drinker, they have a rock sugar that comes along with it that looks so good. Everything tasted flavorful, yet on the healthy side. Nothing here is spicy, unless requested. read more

Persian Grill - Shirin Polo Dinner. (Cornish hen with rice). A2? - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania

I've been to this location and the one in Warminster and each time has been enjoyable. It's a cute little place that might be hard to miss driving by. We ordered hummus and it came with pita bread and I have to say the bread was incredibly chewy. Usually pita is soft and fluffy but this was super chewy. Our meals were better then the app. The rice was SO GOOD! So it made up for the bread not being good. It was soo fluffy and delicious. I want to come back to try the lunch menu eventually. I would still recommend because I love Persian food and this is definitely the place to try if your new to this cultures food. The spices aren't overwhelming and it's easy to find something you'll enjoy on the menu. read more

I have eaten here for more than 15 years. Like the Kouvideh with rice. We have also tried the Dugh drink and Badamjan Gosht. read more

Great food! Comfort food to the max!!!! Sometimes she has specials! Worth the trip to this little restaurant.

The lamb and chicken khoubhide were fantastic and we subbed one of the grills with sheree polo instead of plain basmati rice. Absolutely worth it. Also do try the tahdig. read more

Persian grill is my favorite lunch and dinner restaurant for a middle eastern style food. The restaurant is good, decently maintained and enough spacing . Based on which side you are travelling in Germantownpike road you need to ensure you go around and come back to enter the parking lot. The menu is well organized. For lunch platter they serve the pita bread for the table, you can choose the kabob, and basmati flavored rice. Their drinks are very special too try them. I also like their Persian tea . THe best !!! read more

The food smelled great. 1 out of 3 liked their food. I was disappointed as it served to company and we were excited to try the food. Pickup was relatively quick and the host was extremely friendly. The interior is dated and seemed clean, but I didn't look as long as when you are dining in. I may try again, but disappointed with the taste of the food I had. Presentation of food was ok. read more

Would come here again next time in area... read more

I loved this place! Great friends of ours invited us to this unassuming restaurant while we were visiting and it turned out to be one of the best restaurants I have eaten in a while! It is a modest restaurant perhaps lacking a bit in ambiance but the food is amazing! We shared spinach and eggplant appetizers which were both very tasty, well done and presented. For my main meal I had the two skewers lamb combination, the meat was well seasoned and soft, the saffron rice was amazing! The desserts including ice cream all made in house are amazing! This is absolutely a great place to enjoy a great meal!!! read more

Incredible food. I moved away from Philly but everything here is amazing. The eggplant dish (Amir a Pollo I believe) with rice especially is my favorite entree. Definitely a family owned restaurant. The restaurant is small, but the staff definitely hustle. Wish I could eat here more! read more

I am a huge fan of the Kabob Soltani Two Skewers Dinner. I liked both meats a lot (though the beef was even better), the buttery rice was so delicious and filling, and whatever the crunchy thing was I ate the whole thing. I also liked the Mirza Ghasemi Dinner appetizer. It was an interesting mix of charcoal grilled eggplant, tomatoes and eggs and I used the pita to scoop up every last bite. The service was great I enjoyed my experience and would come back. :) read more

This place was so cute. We got seated right away! Soon after the entire dining room was fully booked. They had a big birthday party. They put some happy birthday songs which was a great energy. There were some Persian decorations on the wall that I love. The staff was super sweet. I had the kabab barg and we also got the ghormeh sabzi. Both dishes were delicious. The rice was fluffy and so good. The beef barg was nice, soft and thin. We had Turkish coffee to finish and everything was such a wonderful experience! The ghormeh sabzi was good but I think it needed a bit more cooking time... the bread tadig was a touch touch as well, a tad oily for me! I can't wait to go back!!!! Before I forget... the most O mosir as an appetizer was out of this world. It's shallots w thick yogurt YUMMY!!! read more

I don't think the people cooking here are Persian. This food tasted more Indian to me than Persian, especially the rice. I would not return.

There's truly nothing better than sharing Persian food with friends on a Saturday afternoon. When we arrived at Persian Grill, the restaurant was fairly quiet and we were invited to choose any booth we liked. After quite a bit of deliberation, we chose to begin our meal with two spreads: Halim Bademjoon and another filled with tomatoes, garlic, and a touch of egg. Out of the two, my favorite was the Halim Bademjoon. The eggplant and mint flavors popped and paired perfectly with the warm pita bread we were served. For the entree, we chose to split a kebab of chicken and beef, a split pea stew, and Ghormeh Sabzi (Persian green herb khoresh). Everything was served with a bed of fluffy basmati rice, heavenly tahdig included. To conclude the meal, we ordered an ambrosial saffron ice cream. In addition to the saffron, you will be pleasantly surprised to taste a hint of rose water and crushed pistachio nuts. Whatever you do, don't leave without trying this sweet treat. It's truly special. Persian Grill is a gem of Germantown and ought to be enjoyed by more people! read more

Came here for birthday dinner with my husband. It was our first time but all of our friends told us wonderful things about the place. Love the vibe and the decor. It's homey and comfortable. We were a little bit overdressed, but you could really wear whatever you felt like for the occasion. We enjoyed our experience a lot! We decided to be a little bit adventurous and order some things that were new to us. Appetizer: halim bademjoon Creamy, delicious, perfect ratio of pita to eggplant. I would order this again and eat it all day. Entrees: Garmeh sabzi--a spinach stew that was delicious and hearty. You could choose between chicken and lamb. The lamb in this dish is tender and savory. There is a slight gaminess to it but it didn't bother me. Kabab bareh soltani--1 Laban of ground lamb and a generous portion of lamb cut up in chunks on the side. My husband really enjoyed the chunks of lamb (I thought they were a little bit chewy) but he had to have a couple of pieces sent back for being too rare for his taste. (He's a little bit picky when it comes to the rareness of his meats, so this might not bother other people.) If I ranked the different styles of lamb from most gamy to least gamy I would say the order would be stew, lamb pieces, kabab. Give this place a try! Be adventurous! read more

This is my to go place in the area when I want to eat out. Best place to get a kebab in PA, period. Also one of the best services you'll ever get around this area.

Persian Grill - Persian grill special vodka drink while I was waiting for my take out. - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania

Found this place from a friend and was super happy with the results! The place is very nice and cozy, with a fountain outside! Seated us with not long of a wait and the service was okay. I would recommend booking a reservation because it was pretty busy. The servers were very nice and we ordered food. I ordered the ground chicken on rice ( e 13 ) and I have to say: it was great! The chicken was seasoned to perfection! It was soft and crispy at the same time! The rice could have been softer, but after adding a little butter everything was good! Also, the pita bread they gave in the beginning was amazing! Soft and buttery! For dessert we got the pistachio ice cream, and it was amazing! It was soft and creamy! Even if you don't like pistachio I guarantee you will love it! When you come here, the ice cream needs to be in your plate! This has just become my go-to restaurant! I highly recommend this place for your family, or just you! Hope this helped!! read more

One of my favorite restaurants! A friend took me to the Persian Grill about ten years ago and it's remained a mainstay of my top spots in the area. The staff are all lovely, service is great, and the food is amaaaaaazing. My go-to dish is the sabzi polo mahi - salmon with rice. The rice is to die for. Side note - a good friend comes to visit PA about once year from California, and this is always on her list of places to hit up while here. read more

It's really difficult to rate Persian Grill, as some things about my experience were spot on and then others left much to be desired. The Good: Menu contains good options for omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans alike. Food is authentic and the rose water ice cream I had for dessert was so delicious. Appetizer dips are really yummy and come with a large amount of pita bread. Wait staff was friendly and attentive, remembered all our requests, etc. The Bad: Vegetarian options seemed pricey for the content of the food. For example the dish I had was $14 and was basically just rice, a few cherries, and two veggie kabobs. The rice is very unseasoned and really boring. If the rice is the center of the dish, I think it needs a little something to make it shine. We were a group of four and were placed a booth which seemed really tiny. We often struggled to move plates and cups to have enough room. Overall, my feelings about Persian Grill are just kind of neutral. I would probably return in the future if someone suggested it, but I don't know if I would pursue it on my own. read more

This place is amazing. Who doesn't love meat and rice? I've gotten the grilled beef, chicken and lamb kebabs. I've also gotten the lamb chops, and I loved it. And I don't usually like lamb because of the gamey flavor but the seasoning /marinade did wonders. The meats comes with rice that you sprinkle with some seasoning at the tables. No idea what that is, but delish! The best part is the crispy rice... Yummmmmm. For apps we usually get the hummus but last time we tried the eggplant. It's served with pita bread and was really good. Everytime we go, the food is very consistently delicious. The only time I disliked a dish was the "traditional wedding dish", which was a Cornish hen covered in an orange sauce. I thought it was too sweet and had too much sauce. I'm not sure what it was supposed to taste like, but I just learned to get the kebabs instead. read more
