This was our first time coming here and we came here on a Friday night. It was moderately busy and we were sat right away. They had live music which I think might be a weekend thing but I'll need to confirm. Our server came over and welcomed us and took our drink order and let us know if we had any questions. We ordered an appetizer to start and it came out fairly quickly. The ambiance was very friendly and nice. One of ladies who I think was the owners tried to get me to dance with everyone but I'm very shy so I respectfully declined. Another table was there for a birthday and we're all dancing, it was a fun vibe! What we ordered: Appetizer: Crispy Rice (Tahdig) With Ghormeh Sabzi And Gheimeh Bread Cheese and walnuts Main: Baghali Polo Mix Saffron Rice With Koobideh Combination Chicken Kabob Beef Koobideh Dessert: Tea Faloodeh And Ice Cream This was probably the best kebab I've had and the portions are generous. I really loved the service and all the food. And would for sure be back! read more

I found this place on Google Maps and was so excited to try it since I've been super into Persian kebabs lately. I came with my parents for lunch on a Sunday and we were seated immediately. We settled for the Mix Kebab Tehran since the portions are for 3 people. Mix Kebab Tehran - This dish came with Chicken Breast Kebab, Chicken Thigh Kebab, Beef Koobideh, and Filet Mignon Kebab. All of it was so delicious but my favorite one has to be the Beef Koobideh. It was juicy and fatty, perfect pairing with the acidity of the tomato and onions. The Chicken Breast kebab was also surprisingly juicy considering the leanness of the meat. This dish also came with a Persian yogurt sauce which my mom really loved. It helped cut through the fat with some acidity. Overall, I would definitely come here again! Great portions and great food! read more

Ordered the Kashk Bademjoon appetizer to share and I enjoyed it more than my main dish. It was mashed well, creamy, and wasn't too salty or anything. The lavash was warm, soft, and paired well with the overall appetizer. For my main dish, I tried the Koobideh and chicken thigh combo to share. The Koobideh was tender and had a nice chew, the chicken thigh could've been a bit more tender/juicy, the roasted veggies gave the dish a nice crunch and the rice was prepared well. But, the overall dish felt like it was lacking seasoning/flavor and missing something maybe a sauce perhaps. I ended up putting some of the eggplant mixture on top of the Koobideh and chicken which gave it a bit more flavor since it was lacking. My husband ordered the bbq combo wrap which included both Koobideh and chicken along with onions and tomatoes. Same goes for the wrap, it was a solid wrap--but felt like it was missing something. I did enjoy the crispness of the wrap though. Would I come again? Probably not, as I've had better elsewhere. Service was friendly but they could've been a bit more attentive in refilling our water without having to ask especially since we were the only ones dining in at the time. Ordering is by QR code. Plenty of tables and floral decor, but it's a pass for me. read more

Loved the kashk bademjoon. Absolutely delicious. Tried the combination koobideh. Enjoyed the chicken more than the meat. Everything else was average. I'm still reeling from paying $11.99 for a small bowl of yogurt with chopped cucumber in it. The meal cost us upwards of $110 for two and this is not a fancy place. I think the sides are really expensive for what they are - especially the yogurt and the shirazi salad (Again just chopped cucumber and tomatoes in a small bowl) Tahdig with ghormeh sabzi came swimming in oil with barely 2 small pieces of meat in it and four kidney beans. Did not eat this. Tahdig was not crunchy, it was soggy. Service is extremely sweet. read more

This place was just ok for me I think the eggplant appetizer was the highlight for me. The chicken thighs was a bit off for me. It was moist but I felt it could have been cooked more. The wrap dish needed a side tried to order fries but didn't have any that day. read more

I've been on a Middle Eastern food high for about a month now. I think it's my goal to try to find some of the best Middle Eastern, Persian, and Mediterranean eats in the South Bay area. I believe this was my second Persian place I tried on my pursuit of some of the best Persian/Middle Eastern eats. And boy am I glad I found this place. First of all this place I feel like is one of those hole in the wall places. It's kind of hidden to the side. Like a hidden gem. I also think that this place is also a really popular spot for receptions and catering. When I went on a Saturday afternoon it was nice and quiet, the host (I believe she is either the manager or owner) was super nice) I ordered koobidah and chicken combination because I wanted to try both proteins. I also ordered the lavaash bread also. I underestimated how large these portions were going to be. But besides the underestimation, the food was absolutely delicious here. I never combined lavaash with mint like that it's a whole new flavor profile I really came to appreciate with the sumac onions and grilled tomatoes on the side with the well seasoned and juicy meats was absolutely delicious. The saffron rice was a generous portion that could have probably feed two to three people. I needed to take leftovers home. But this place is worth checking out if you want to try Persian and Middle Eastern food I'm definitely coming back because it is my current favorite Middle Eastern spot. Update: One of the most hospitable restaurant managers I've met and places I ate at. Please support this place! read more

My mind is blown. Came here on a Saturday night at around 8 pm. The staff were all very kind. We used the QR code to look at the menu and the server came by to take our order. I absolutely loved everything we ordered here. The hummus was delicious. I couldn't stop eating it The shallot yogurt was one of a kind. The best yogurt I've ever tasted at any Persian restaurant . The beef and chicken koobideh was just amazing . Flavorful, tender and super juicy. The best I've ever tasted in my life. Even the saffron basmati rice was actually fragrant. We will definitely be back often and bring a bunch of friends with us. My favorite Persian restaurant! read more

Lunch date with one of my besties after our late morning walk. I was craving Persian food, so we decided to try this place since it's conveniently located near Home Depot, which was our next stop for a quick errand. The restaurant was empty, probably because we came in for an early lunch. The host was very friendly and welcoming, although I did feel a little rushed to order since she checked in with us a few times to see if we were ready. I would totally understand if it had been busy, but we were the only customers there at the time. Since it was our first visit and the menu is accessed by QR code, we were still scrolling through everything and deciding what to get. We ended up ordering individual plates. I had the Chelo Kebab Koobideh, which is a ground beef kabob served with saffron rice, grilled tomato, and fresh onion slices. My bestie ordered the lamb chops with saffron rice and grilled peppers. While we were waiting, the host brought out complimentary flatbread, yogurt, and salad, which was such a nice surprise. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal. The food was flavorful and the portions were generous. The lamb chops were slightly charred, but my friend still enjoyed them. This place is more of a casual spot to eat, which makes it great for a relaxed lunch. I'm already planning to bring another bestie next week so she can try this spot too. They also accept credit cards, which is always convenient. read more

Food is incredible and the owners make it feel like you're family. I watched the game here and it was the best experience I could ask for!!

I love the flowers and red ambience. Sunny was so amazing, kind, and helpful. Beef kebabs are very juicy and flavorful. Yogurt mint drink very tasty would recommend great place. read more

I ordered the chelo kabob koobideh plate, and my wife ordered the chelo chicken koobideh plate. The meats were truly juicy and delicious. Every single bite had immense flavor and paired well with the saffron rice, grilled tomato, and onions. We will definitely be back. Service was top notch too! What a neat restaurant tucked in Bollinger Plaza. This restaurant is holding it down for the small plaza! read more

Food is amazingly delicious. The Chelo Combination Beef Koobideh & Chicken Koobideh is some of the best original middle east food around the south bayه. The lady is very helpful with my orders. And the price is not too expensive. The saffron rice is cooked just right, fluffy and moist. read more

4.5 Stars This spot is one of my dad's favorite and he's a pretty particular guy. The food and the service are an easy 5. The food is flavorful and authentic and the portions are gigantic. We got the family platter of 6 assorted kebabs ($109.99) and the sabzi stew ($20.99) and it was all amazing. Us 5 people maybe finished like 50% of the food with plenty to take home afterwards. It was my first time having sabzi and I loved it - it was authentic and spiced well and wonderful. It had so much olive oil in it though - I wonder if that is normal. I'm not sure who was helping us out - she was so warm and sweet I figured she must be the owner, or friend of the owner. The interior is .... interesting, lol. Between the giant flashing LED screens, the garish fame flowers, and the choice of furniture... yeah, this isn't like, a classy nice ocassion spot. When I walked in I thought - oh god, the food better be really good or something. Oh, it was also completely empty when we walked in. Located in a strip mall. read more

Came here with friends on a Saturday night after seeing some positive reviews online, but unfortunately this place was a disappointment across the board. When we arrived, the restaurant was completely empty, which quickly made sense to us. We were asked to view the menu via QR code but not order through it, but just tell the server what we wanted, which felt unnecessarily awkward. Prices also felt very high for what was offered. I paid nearly $25 for my dish, and it was absolutely not worth it. Additionally, they had images of the dishes on the menu which did not look like what we received. Food took almost 30 minutes to arrive. We were given complimentary lavash with butter and mint, but both the bread and butter were cold, making it nearly impossible to spread, and the combination itself was unappealing. Water was self serve from a jug that was never refilled. There were also cleaning solution bottles left on every table, which felt strange. We didn't know if we were expected to clean the tables ourselves. I ordered the gormeh sabzi, a dish I've had many times elsewhere. This version was overly sour, very oily, and came with very little stew compared to a large portion of rice. Service wise, the staff were friendly, but there were notable issues. My friend ordered chicken and was served beef instead. The server simply removed it from the plate. That's especially concerning for anyone with dietary restrictions. None of us enjoyed our experience, and given the price, wait time, and food quality, this isn't a place I'd recommend. read more

Persian Kabobs - Ghormeh Sabzi Stew with Saffron Rice (Persian ) - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Cupertino, California

We are in a road trip and today was our last day in mountain view. I decided to instead of many stops get a persian food to go. Specially that today is Iran-Belgique world cup. I saw a persian Kabobs in an advertisement in IG and i saw they have single chicken skewers with no rice so definitely it was a big Yes. I called and confirmed and we drove by to pick up. The restaurant looks like old persian style in grand bazar. In farsi we say: چلوکبابی ( chelokababi) so its not a beautiful setup but its somehow nostalgia. All artificial flowers, red table cloths, red rose and...So its not a shic, high end restaurant...You get that familiar feeling that you are walking a restaurant in Tehran's downtown...But it was very clean which i like the most. Also just like a Persian restaurant, you can feel saffron and rice aroma from outside of restaurant. The TV was on and they were getting ready for the world cup. I wished we were able to dine in but we werent. We ordered chicken Tigh skewers. Dont forget to ask for lime and extra sumac. It was very juicy, delicious and balanced taste. Not too spicy or salty. We enjoyed our chicken! So delicious...Specially their mint and onion sumac were delicious...Overall, 5/5. People who work here are so welcoming and we felt we are at home! read more

BUSY MOMS STAY AWAY! ONLINE ORDERING IS HORRIBLE! I placed an order at 3:54PM b/c site stated 25 min wait for food. At 3:58PM, I got an email that said food would be ready in ~30 mins. At 4:30PM there was no food and told to wait maybe 5 mins. I got irritated because the music was blaring in the EMPTY restaurant that felt as hot as it was outside at 85 degrees. At 4:35PM, I was again told my food was NOT ready but they would give me a free baklava. Now I was very peeved b/c I could of gotten food by 4:10PM at many other places and be at home by 4:25PM. My kid was waiting in the car an extra 20 mins and there are only a few parking spots with minimal shade. The food finally came at 4:45PM AFTER I stated I would like a refund and forget the food. They gave us a Coke & Sprite which I gave to an unhoused person b/c we don't drink sodas BUT OF COURSE THE PROMISED BAKLAVA WAS NOT IN OUR BAG! Food was meh given we got charred bell peppers and lots of charred onions w/ the chicken. Cost was VERY expensive at $9.99 for Salad Shirazi that was 2/3 full in an 8 ounce container for tomato, cucumber, onion, mint, lemon with seasonings; Salad was mainly onions, which are the cheapest veggie. I say Persian Food in South Bay just sucks compare to places in DC. DC Persian/ Middle Eastern restaurants always offered kebabs with both meat and veggies marinated on the same stick. Majority of the DC kebab places only took a max of 20 mins busy or empty. We will not return ever b/c our time is way to valuable to wait for expensive overprice onion-centric dishes, which are served in cheap plastic containers. read more

I wanted to share why I decided to leave your restaurant shortly after being seated. We were welcomed in by the gentleman at the front and seated at a four-person table. The restaurant was otherwise empty aside from your group and one employee. A woman from the kitchen then commented in Persian, twice, asking why two people were seated at a table for four. Unfortunately for the situation, I am fluent in Persian and understood everything being said. My wife asked what was said, and once I translated it, the atmosphere immediately became uncomfortable and unwelcoming. I understand restaurants have seating preferences, but the way it was discussed -- especially assuming customers would not understand -- completely changed the experience for us. We chose to leave quietly rather than create an uncomfortable situation in your restaurant. I felt it was important to let you know how this came across from a customer's perspective. Your area has many Persian restaurants ... read more

We stumbled across this restaurant while in the area. Friday evening a live musician who sang or played soft music for our dining experience was a nice touch. Greeted & sat down immediately as there were a few party's already enjoying the evening. No menus were given out but a handy QR code was available on the table and as we waited for our delicious food the restaurant had more traffic walk in for dine in or pick up orders. Lastly, this restaurant has regulars who are recognized by staff and given warm hospitality back. We'd return to support this local business owner and its community. read more

Chicken kabob - At first bite I was confused (the texture almost reminded me of tofu even though it's chicken), but wow it worked! Juicy, flavorful, and well-seasoned. Honestly, this ended up being my favorite dish, and I usually don't like chicken kabobs because they're too dry. Bonus: it reheats just as well for leftovers. Rice - Standard saffron rice, nothing groundbreaking but a solid pairing. Sides - Loved that they included fresh mint and red onion to brighten up the plate. Such a nice touch. The shallot yogurt was the real winner here, you need to order that. Personally, I loved it because it added a tangy, refreshing contrast to the already dense foods. Lavash bread - Definitely gave off Safeway vibes, not fresh-baked, but it did the job. Overall, flavorful food with generous portions and some standout touches (that chicken kabob especially). Since we ordered everything to-go, I can't speak much on the service but I appreciated how neatly everything was packed in the containers, which made it easy to enjoy at home. Would come back! read more

So good. The meat tastes fresh and the kabob is cooked perfectly--juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Even the chicken koobideh is amazing--not dry at all like other Persian restaurants. Also, I don't normally order barg, but I tried my mom's barg that she ordered (it's tender filet mignon kabob) and it was delicious. The woman (Sunny) working there is incredibly sweet, and her husband is very nice too. Good food and genuinely kind people. If you want to experience Persian hospitality in a nice, clean restaurant with gourmet food, this place is a must-try. read more

One big word to describe the food: SHMACKINNNNNNN!!! I was fortunate to have a friend bring home a tray of mixed kabobs along with lavash, long grained rice, hummus, and tsaziki! It was delicious!!! I'm moving away from the bay tomorrow but when I come back, I'm going to stop by!!! read more

Tried this restaurant with my family recently and it was pretty good. The ambiance isn't my favorite as it doesn't have a cozy feeling and feels a bit more like a supermarket turned restaurant, but it was very clean and organized inside which I appreciated. Service was a bit slow as it seemed there were only two people working but they were friendly and working hard to meet all of our needs as we were a larger party. The food was pretty good. The rice was a bit too oily but the meats and especially the kabob kubideh were very delicious. Their eggplant dip appetizer was also tasty. I would be open to coming back here and trying some other items. If you're in the area and looking for some good Persian food, I do think this restaurant is worth trying. read more

First of all it seems that the grocery store portion will close this coming Friday and they will expand the business to be only a restaurant. Wish they could keep both!! We opted for Barg kabob, chicken koobideh kabob and ghormeh Sabzi stew. The kabobs were juicy and tender and the presentation was beautiful. The ghormeh Sabzi was Ok and lacked the sour flavor that should have. Seems they do not add lemon or sour grape juice to it. Hope they change the recipe and do make it the way it is traditionally. Minus one star for the ghormeh! I am sure over time their business will flourish as they do care about the customer service. Will be back after their expansion. read more

I had the most amazing experience at this Persian kabob restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious perfectly grilled kabobs, tender and full of flavor, just like back home. The rice was fluffy, the bread was fresh, and the sabzi and torshi made everything even more special. The yogurt was especially delicious creamy, refreshing, and the perfect side to the meal. It reminded me of homemade mast! The service was warm and welcoming, and the staff made us feel like family. We had such a great time, laughing and enjoying every bite. The atmosphere was cozy and filled with good energy. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Persian food made with love. Thank you for a beautiful meal we'll definitely be back! read more

Persian Kabobs - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Cupertino, California

The restaurant is in a strip mall on Bollinger, across the Home Depot. We went on a Saturday for lunch, and there were plenty of spots available for parking. The restaurant is family-owned and fairly large; there were plenty of available tables when we visited. Service was nice, and food was tasty. We ordered the Beef Koubideh, and the Chicken Koubideh for main course. Both were tender and juicy. We also got the yoghurt with cucumber, which was also good. The owners were very friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. Prices were very reasonable, which was very welcome in this age where everyone else jacks up their prices. We were very happy with everything, and this will be our favorite restaurant when we feel like Persian food. read more

3.5 stars We've been using our Uber Eat credit each month to try different nearby restaurants, decided to try PK this time due to the high Yelp ratings. Ordered a family plate Queen for two and Gheimeh & Saffron rice. I liked the dining area when picking up the order, room was nice, bright and clean. The lady (owner?) was very pleasant and cheerful, I remembered thinking we should dine in the next time. Not really qualified to judge Persian food, we thought the food was good for the most part with some misses. The Queen plate came with two koobideh (beef and chicken thigh) and pieces of chicken breast. The koobideh were our favorite, both were flavorful and moist. The chicken breast however was very dry, salty and tough which disappointed us. We liked the grilled tomatoes but wished there were more than one quarter of grilled onion, perhaps some peppers. The Gheimeh was good but on the bland side, so was the saffron rice. I did enjoy the fresh mint. Glad that we gave PK a try and would come back for the koobideh. read more

Persian Kabobs - Combo meal with beef and chicken - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Cupertino, California

4.5 STARS Persian cuisine is one of the most underrated cuisines. IDK why tho... Juicy meat sticks....fragrant fluffy rice.....and tahdig! Ifykyk. Over the years, this Persian/Middle Eastern market has gone through numerous ownership and name changes that I've lost count. Started as Rose Market...Super Cupertino...Cupertino Kebab...Cupertino Specialty Foods...Select Foods... and now...Super Cupertino (new owner). The new owner recently transformed the butcher shop area into a dining room and Persian Kebobs was born. I've visited Super Cupertino a handful of times and it was quiet. But, on my most recent visit, Persian Kebobs (resto side) was poppin'. Looks like the strategy is paying off! Persian Kebobs is open for takeout, delivery, indoor dining, and outdoor dining (dog-friendly). M E N U Persian salads, sandwiches, "burritos" (lavash wraps), kebabs (koobideh: chicken or beef, joojeh: chicken thigh, barg: filet mignon, shashlik: lamb chops, etc.) and stews (ghormeh sabzi: herb stew, gheimeh: beef/lamb pea stew, etc.). You can request the kebabs "juicy" so it's not as well-done. Catering available. Bottled drinks available. Rose Market used to carry sangak from Yeganeh Bakery; wish they did the same here. F O O D * Cholo Koobideh: Ground Beef Kebab w/ rice, bbq tomato ($18.99): https://tinyurl.com/2p9bymz6 My go-to order at Super Cupertino before they rolled out Persian Kebabs, what I can count on is...consistency. The koobideh is nicely spiced, tender, and juicy! SO good. Sometimes, I find myself having to order mast-o-musir (yogurt w/ shallots) for dipping because koobideh can be dry but not here. The basmati rice with saffron was perfectly cooked - fluffy and buttery with separated grains. Served with a smoky charred, juicy tomatoes, raw onions, and mint leaves. They have hot sauce that gives me Cholula vibes, mellow heat with a tang. S E R V I C E Gracious hospitality from the very sweet owner, Sunny. She welcomes you in like family so it feels like you're dining in her home...not inside/outside a market. Order at the register, seat yourself, eat, and pay at the register before leaving. They seem to be much busier since rolling out "Persian Kebobs" so orders do take a long time. On my last visit during Sunday dinnertime, it took nearly 40 minutes wait for our order. There's a "help wanted" sign posted so I hope they're able to hire more BOH to keep up with the demand. A M B I A N C E Humble, organized market. Indoor seating area near the old butcher counter has 6-7 tables. There are 3 tables outside, more when the weather is nice. P A R K I N G Easy parking in the micro plaza (next to Ajito). Overall, Persian Kebobs serves delicious Persian food with awesome hospitality. When you need a break from regional Chinese cuisine in Cupertino, give Persian Kebobs a try! read more
