Best Persian food ever! I ordered the Beef and Chicken Barg Combo and it is the most tender flavorful steak and chicken with basmati rice, pita bread with butter and the best if you love garlic is their freshly made garlic paste. If you haven't eaten here you are missing out and have to come try it. The owners are so friendly and awesome as well! read more

Went to dinner with husband, ordered lamb shank and koubideh it was ok. The place was hot, we were sweating, felt like they had no AC but when I asked they said they did. There were only 2 other tables there, yet food took a long time to serve. We asked for 1 baklava and they took a long time to bring to us, we ended up going to the cash register to pay and take it to go. I asked to give me an itemized receipt they kept acting like they didn't understand what I was asking for, when they finally gave it to me I saw they charged me for 2 and charged to use my atm card. It was meh for service and food but maybe you'll have a better experience. read more

Very disappointed. Was served unseasoned chicken. No lie. The staff even admitted they cater to Pomona hospital and that's how they request it. Unseasoned. He said I "unfortunately" got that chicken. Still had to pay for my horrible meal should have been on the house. read more

Superb Persian food at a friendlier price. I am a meat snob; I don't want to see any cartilage, gristle or crud on my plate. Theirs never disappoints. Pristinely marinated chicken barg or kabob barg melts in your mouth. Lighter than air basmati rice and heavenly dressed salad complement most entrees. My only complaint is a lack of ice in my tea. I think it's a cultural thing, but this Ugly American wants her ice. We've been going there for over 15 years; feels like family. The owner shares my droll sense of humor, and I enjoy trading a barb or two with him. His wife is his saving grace. LOL. You've missed out if you haven't been there! read more

My Goodness, one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. I ordered a dinner combination for my family for pick up at 6:00pm and asked if the food would be ready by 6:30pm the same day. The lady on the phone told me it wouldn't be an issue and confirmed. My wife and I get there at 6:30 sharp and was told 10 more minutes by one of the staff who seemed to be cooking as well. 20 minutes pass by and still no response and when asked again, a very rude younger employee said that I'd have to wait. At this point I asked for me money back because it's 7:00pm and still no food at all. They oblige but same younger employee begrudgingly gave me the handed the cash back. Was very alarmed by the lack of customer hospitality at this establishment. read more

Two stars for the smiling lady and the food quality. But nothing more due to deceptive marketing- sign outside says lunch buffet for $11.95 and lunch special $7.95 (see picture). We saw the sign, turned around and went in and they tell us "not on weekends". Well, hello, put on the sign. We ate lunch and each dish was 13-15 dollars for one skewer of meat with rice and salad. read more

I am a huge fan! Right in my back yard, and never a wait. The food, staff and service are all wonderful. I eat Upland Kabob at least once a week. It's affordable and fresh, and always hits the spot. I would recommend Upland Kabob over Giuseppe's any day of the week! Food (our go-to's): Koobideh - well made, always fresh, flavorful and juicy Beef Sultani - delicious, a little bit more pricey, but well worth it Lubia Polo - the rice w/ this dish is amazing, can't find it anywhere! Service: The owner and his family are one of a kind! Always friendly and food is made to order. Prices: $9 - $18 (depending on the dish). Beef dishes are more spendy, whereas chicken is always less expensive. No matter what, the food is exceptional, and worth every penny. A++ read more

Came upon this place out of the blue at their lunch buffet. Found it to be quite good and fresh. The restaurant was clean and the staff has been a wife were very nice. Parking was adequate and safe. Tickling enjoyed their Sharma. Oh their garlic paste is to die for definitely ask for the garlic place and you might have to get some tahini too they'll make it fresh. . read more

Tasty food and kind service. This is where I go for my Mediterranean fix. The restaurant portion is clean and service is good. I usually order over the phone and pick up my food. It's always ready when they say it will be ready. read more

A small casual restaurant featuring a small and outdated buffet island with limited offerings. If you're in a hurry and you think food is already cooked for you to start eating, think again. They make their kabobs when the small container runs out. They separate the kabobs into three small containers and is the only meat offered so if you're coming there mainly for their kabobs you have to wait and wait. Each container is a serving for only two people. Service by the older man, owner(?) is friendly but the woman and younger man are quick to dismiss your repeated requests to refill the kabobs containers. I had to tell them three times. Because they're trying to turnover kabobs a little at a time ( owner says that way it stays fresh) yet as fast as they can, the inner part near the stick were not cooked through. Taste wise it was ok, not the best or worst I've had. Overall $12 is not worth the limited buffet offerings, the constant wait for the kabobs, inconsistent service and average food. read more

Upland Kabob was our catering vendor for our wedding reception on Sunday. The food was great and everyone enjoyed it their meal. Yadie, the owner of the restaurant delivered the food himself and he was very nice and very helpful with putting our order together. We were so glad we chose this place to cater food for our wedding. read more

$13+ tax for HALF a chicken skewer and rice? $8 for a yogurt dip? I paid $22 for lunch--I got robbed. Lunch pricing is not worth it at ALL. Maybe the dinner entree portion size is better, but I won't be coming back. read more

Lunch review for buffet visit. 1st time here and I always see the advertising from the street. I decided to come in and try the lunch buffet special. Buffet was really good with variety of options to choose from, you can see my pictures Customer service was awesome and I was attended to whenever I needed help. Thank you and I will come again. read more

So happy to find out they have expanded and are planning to expand even more. They are currently in the process of establishing a patisserie next door. Yay! I am such a fan of cute, tasty pastries and teas. :) About Upland Kabob, though. Fresh, simple Persian foods. We always get the koobideh (beef) and the chicken and steak barg kabobs, as well as some yogurt on the side and a little cucumber-tomato salad (shirazi), though at other Persian restaurants I've seen it called something else. Friendly, attentive service ... and the food comes out fast and hot. The prices are very fair, too. Everything is clean and neat. I have no complaints whatsoever and am a little baffled at some of the poor experiences others have had. Maybe they just went in on a bad day? *shrugs* read more

Been passing by for years but never stopped in; so GLAD we finally did! The food was so fresh and good, can't wait to go back and try more dishes. Their hummus was so good, one of my favorite things we ordered. The meats were so tender and bursting with flavors! They also have an all you can eat buffet Monday through Thursday. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. Support mom & pop businesses! read more

I was in this restaurant recently. They have spacious parking and pleasant interior to watch the outside view while eating inside. However the sitting is not comfortable at all. I ordered 2 dishes, one was chicken sultani and another was beef kubideh. They came in big rice dishes with salad and lots of rice. We were 3 adults and one kid. So I asked for 4 plates to eat. The owner (if I'm not mistaken) said we have to use the small desert plates (appx 5 inches diameter) to eat. They put the napkin and cutlery on these plates. I said they are too small. Then the owner said there will be $5 service charge per plate. So I have to pay $20 extra to use 4 plates. I don't know why he was so unfriendly and made my feelings numb. I did not extend the discussion and gently said it's ok. I'll use the small plates. I worked in a restaurant for 2 years as a waiter. I know it's not only the food but also the service what makes a restaurant great. Anyway the food was average. So I give 2 stars to the restaurant. And suggest you to avoid the restaurant. read more

They have great kebab, kofte, koobideh. Their rice, meat, lamb Shanks, and everything is delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great delivery. Great service. They do not hesitate to answer ingredient questions and concerns. If you do not want roasted tomato with your order, please let them know. read more

Had the lunch buffet. It was good but not exceptionally good. It's a small spread. They had hummus and pita bread, salad, tomatoes and cucumbers. For the main, they had ground beef kabob and barbecue chicken. They were tasty. They also served a spicy chicken with potatoes. Good. They two kinds of soup - vegetable and yellow peas. The yellow pea soup was very good. For a vegetable dish, they had roasted onions and red sweet peppers. And French fries!? Overall, the buffet was not impressive. It was small and simple. There were very few customers. The staff was very friendly and was always asking if everything was ok. The food was tasty and fresh. I probably would come back if I'm in the area. read more

It seems that I've always loved Persian food. Like many, I thought I knew what dolmeh and hummus tasted like, but I was in for a surprise. When everything is freshly made, like it is at Upland Kabob, it takes the flavor to a whole new level. We had never tried Kashkeh Bodemjan before, but if you like Baba Ganoush, you will love Kashkeh Bodemjan! It's made with eggplant and yogurt, and tastes heavenly. Our entrees were Lamb Shank (the tender, fallling-off-the-bone kind of lamb) and the divinely inspired dish known as Fessenjan, made with chicken covered in pomegranate-walnut sauce. Our gracious host Yadie made us feel right at home, and even whipped up a complimentary new honey covered rice-based dessert for us to sample. I'd encourage everyone to come to Upland Kabob, as this one is one of the Inland Empire's culinary gems! read more

I need to use Yelp more often! How is this place around for 9 years yet it's my first visit? Yeahh.. i know! Lol.. If anyone has ever had the blessing of having authentic home cooked Persian food.. you would swear you were visiting relatives! The Kubideh was succulent and just perfect.. the yogurt is made fresh and the dolmeh is served warm.. I actually wanted the Fesenjan, but they were out.. ugghh.. if anyone knows how delicious and rare this dish is or if you've never had it before put this place on your bucket list.. I already know I'm going to be a regular here.. can't wait to try their Lamb next!! read more
