20 Years of Searching - Finally Found It! I've lived in Colorado for 20 years, and I've been dying to find a Persian restaurant that matches King Kebab in Sacramento. Well, I finally found it - Baba Joon Kebabs! I actually drove pretty far from my side of town just to get this food, so I was really excited to taste it. And let me tell you - it did not disappoint. The rice was beautiful, the sauce was perfect, the naan (the bread) was very tasty - everything was just spot on. I didn't have time to dine in, so I ordered takeout. I gave some to my daughter to try, and she fell in love with Persian food on the spot. Then I gave it to my high school daughter, and she loved it too. This was their first time trying Iranian food, and they're already hooked. I didn't get to try the lamb shank this time, but next time I'm going straight for it. And honestly, I need to go back, sit down, and really enjoy eating at the restaurant the way it's meant to be experienced. I highly recommend people give Baba Joon Kebab a try. This is one of those cultural foods you need to have in Denver or in Colorado. Because let's be real - Colorado is a fast food state. It doesn't have much cultural food like this. This is one of the cultural foods you'll actually love. And shout out to the Iranian family running it - they did a great job. Very, very good food. If you do the lamb shank right - and from what I tasted, I bet you do - you have my blessing to go. Do yourself a favor and check this place out! read more

I was craving Persian food and was thrilled to discover Babajoon was conveniently located near my office. I indulged in a variety of dishes to sample the diverse menu. Each item I ordered was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. I highly recommend trying the ghormeh sabzi; it was an absolute delight.

Pretty disappointing for the price. We were three people and the total came to around $100, which felt way too high for what we got. Each main dish was about $20, but the prices kept adding up with small charges, $10 for kashk-e-bademjoon that didn't even come with bread (they charged $3 just for one piece!). The special of the day was albaloo polo, but it had only a few sour cherries and small bits of chicken mixed with a lot of broth and onions, which made the rice soggy. The ghormeh sabzi tasted like it had been sitting for a while. The only thing we actually enjoyed was the steak kabob. Overall, really disappointed; the food didn't match the price or the reputation. read more

I went with my sisters, steak kabobs, chicken kabobs and ground beef kabobs were amazing! The Mirza spread on naan is an experience not to be missed!! Fresh humus was divine! The Babajoon salad is a wonderful, refreshing combination and a welcome twist to Mediterranean style salads Service was fast and friendly, like eating at a friend's house. Ambiance was clean and comfortable with outdoor patio as well. Definitely coming back here!! read more

Amazing food and experience. The owners were great in explaining the menu, and everything was very tasty.

Response to owner's comment: There is a claim that Babajoon's quality is so much higher than all Mediterranean places to explain their exorbitant prices. I've had better quality Mediterranean food all from the following places that all sell their incredibly filling, fresh pita sandwiches for cheaper: - Sonny's Mediterranean #1 with hummus & tahini with falafel $12, chicken $14. Was one of the best pita sandwiches I've ever had and 100% fresh made ingredients, my wife couldn't even finish hers because of how full it was. My wife, the one that complained by how under filled and unsatisfying the chicken pita was at Babajoon's to your cashier who handed us food, who just walked away and did nothing. - Pita Central: an entirely make your own Pita sandwich place with owners having moved here from Greece recently, with imported pita from Greece and the best tzatziki I've ever had, with a chicken pita costing $13, falafel $9.50, Lamb&Beef $14. You can stand there and ask them to put more veggies and more veggies in your pita of whatever you choose. Excellent, fresh made mediterranean food from even better people, the owners will chat with you for literally 5 minutes after serving you. - Mumtaz: Chicken pita $13.50, with great friendly service. This place was so good I've told my wife we have to go back. The above 3 restaurants are just ones I've ate at in the past few months, all with much more filling portions, much more affordable, they don't charge $.75 for hot sauce and none of them had as dry or overcooked or seemingly microwaved chicken. Babajoon's has a better pita, but to charge for every last ingredient that gets added to my pita with a base price of $15 for a chicken pita with vegetables that looked sad and underfilled and 5 small pieces of chicken, something is wrong. A pita is supposed to look overflowing with veggies and meat or falafel and held together by paper. If you provided better food for value, I'd be eating at your place over and over. You're lying to me, yourself and your customers. You can delete your lies in your response, and I'll delete my comment and we can just move on. read more

First time trying Persian food and it was DELICIOUS!!! So fresh and flavorful! The service was also awesome! We will DEFINITELY go back soon!!! read more

I wasn't able to take photos of my dish but it was delicious! I ordered Babajoon's Chicken Salad. I could have ordered this dish without the chicken and been just as satisfied with the meal, which would make for a great vegan option. This was a large sized portion including greens, tomatoes, cucumbers and red onion. The lemon dressing was light and complimented the salad perfectly. I would guess there were herbs such as oregano added and garlic to really make this dish pop. I love a salad that is both filling AND Babajoon's service was friendly and welcoming. I will definitely go back! read more

Family favorite for around 10 years - never had a dish that missed the mark. The tea and bread are musts

This gem was fantastic! Their homemade bread was mouthwatering coming out of a clay oven. The koobideh (ground lamb/beef) was juicy and flavorful and the rice was perfect. The lentil soup was divine so rich and light/ packed with flavors. Highly recommend everything on the menu! Their desserts are delicious as well, looks like it's owned by a couple, mom and pop style which I loved. Ambiance was elevated for the fast causal experience. read more

I have been a long time customer and the food has always been excellent. The food is always fresh and delicious.

The food was great and we loved that the family who owned the place came out to say hi and check in on our experience.

Honestly, the place felt overpriced for what you get. Portions were quite small, and even basic things like water weren't complimentary. On top of that, tipping felt expected. Overall, it didn't feel worth the price. read more

The service was outstanding and the staff were friendly. The food was delicious with generous portions. The Persian focus threw me off at first since Yelp listed it as Mediterranean, but it was a pleasant surprise. I had the lamb shank stew--tender, rich, and absolutely to die for. I'd highly recommend this restaurant. The seating was ample and not crowded. read more

The best persian food in Colorado. Family owned and run. It is about $20 a plate, we'll worth good food.

Great and fresh food! Reminds me of home and it was even better when you find out one of the workers is from my hometown of sunland/tujunga :) Highly recommend! read more

We had Babajoon's cater our wedding on June 21st. They were absolutely FANTASTIC. Arrived on time and delivered flawlessly to our venue. And the food was delicious! All of our guests absolutely raved about how flavorful and delicious the food was. Many of our guests have never had Persian food and I think we may have given some people a new food they love! We cannot thank Babajoon's enough for their clear communication, fantastic service, and absolutely delicious food! Would highly recommend having them cater your next event, they were generous with the quantities of food served, we had plenty leftover for midnight snacks. The price was incredibly fair for our 100 guests. read more

I was surprised of how delicious the food was. The lady who took the order was a bit weird and talked to us like we're kids. The prices a bit higher than before but the rice and meat is good. They know what they're doing. Will visit again read more

Was so excited to find a Persian restaurant near me and it does not disappoint. The kebabs were delicious, the rice perfectly cooked, and the bread was so soft. I highly recommend the shallot dip too! read more

I really really wanted to give this restaurant 4 stars and I definitely would do that for the food! The gal who was taking the order at the register was quite off-putting. She was not gracious with our lack of knowledge of the menu (it was our first time at the restaurant) and showed no enthusiasm or pleasure in being there this evening. In fact she sort of mocked my niece for questions on the menu. The food however was delicious! I don't know how they cook their rice but it is perfect and so very flavorful! I also really enjoyed the chicken and found it to be very flavorful also without being over powering. It's a cute restaurant and I will likely go back for the wonderful food. There are many more things I want to try! The hours are limited so check the hours of service before you go. read more

Very nice service but just okay food. I think they need more seasoning ad the ground beef tasted like a burger patty with no salt. Rice was cooked well but again zero flavor. I wouldn't go back but recommend it for people who can't have sodium. read more

They have signs up, but be aware that the pricing on the menus is incorrect- they have had to bump prices by about 20%, so be aware of that when you are purchasing- it surprised my husband. Not their fault, but so be aware. Every thing was so good and flavorful! My husband and I shared the sultani Kings Beef kabob with rice, a side of bread, and the zoolbia and bamieh dessert. The beef kabob was two long strips of beef cut and seasoned to perfection, super tender. The rice was nice and soft, long grain, but I think we would have been happy with just the bread. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THE BREAD. It's thin but yeasty, with a touch of wheat that is *chefs kiss*. Apparently they have a custom oven to make it. The desserts were like a pastry- donut and maybe a funnel cake, but soaked in honey so they were gooey and sweet. I loved them but might try the ice cream next time. Overall, I highly highly recommend this restaurant and would absolutely come back. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The koobideh and joojeh are so well seasoned, moist and tender. I highly recommend. The place itself is casual dining which I love, especially since I have a baby. I love that I can still get great quality Iranian food and not be stressed that it's too fancy to have my kid with me. The owner and his wife were very friendly and clearly put a lot of love into their service. I highly recommend this place! read more

Thought I would try this place out. I wanted falafel's, which are not on the menu, but just have to ask for them. I felt they were good with a middle Eastern taste. Saffron rice was good-albeit a little oily for my taste. I cannot comment on any other item on the menu but I felt the woman taking my order was kind and helpful. There are places to sit and eat but we didn't stay. read more

I am ruined for life! My husband brought me here for our 21st anniversary celebratory lunch. I ordered beef kabob's with salad. My husband ordered chicken and lamb kabobs with salad. We also shared their hummus plate. It was superb! I was expecting a less than memorable salad and it was fantastic, fresh, crisp, seasoned perfectly, and just the right amount of dressing. I seriously can not wait to go back here. I am going to spread the news to my friends that they have to try this place out for their next meal out. The service was great and the dining area clean, what more can you ask for? read more

This was good, though kind of expensive. The hummus and peta bread was really good. I got a chicken salad and it was over $15. But, we were looking for something healthy after several days of eating junk so it did the trick. We got takeout and delivery which also was an additional up charge but the delivery/wait time was quite fast. read more

Always looking up support other Persians when traveling for work. Here from DC area. Location is close to my hotel, ordered kabob combo and Ghormeh Sabzi for next day. Wait was too long. Was told they were out of meat for sultani.... Owner was working alone in the kitchen. He could use some help. I was frustrated until they handed my order to me. the aroma of Ghormeh Sabzi calmed my anger for extra long wait. Highly recommend this dish. Suggest the owner get help during dinner hour. Make sure prices match by updating the menu. Don't understand the extra 9% fee on top of price increases for everything on the menu. Just update the prices!! read more

Amazing experience Respectful and friendly owners, fair prices, and great great food Tried their Kubideh and Sabzi stew and loved both read more

Loved the place!! We were driving back from Rocky Mountain national park, via Westminster to Kansas City. While looking for places to stop at for lunch, we saw the 4.5 stars for babajoon on Yelp- and were so happy we chose this place! Welcoming staff, clean place and amazing (and healthy!!) food!! We got the beef (kobeodah) and chicken kabob plate; with sides of rice, naan and salad. Everything was delicious; both the beef and chicken kabob were flavorful and super moist! We thoroughly enjoyed the food, and would definitely recommend if someone lives in Westminster and has not tried it yet or is passing through, like we were! read more

I have never had anything but a GREAT experience at Babajoons! Great food, freshly made, and a family that treats you like, well, family! read more

Yummy Mediterranean in a plaza with several dining options. We picked this based on other reviews and it was delicious! A bit pricey but the positions filled the plate, enough that we have leftovers so it's a good value overall. We tried the steak and chicken platters and hummus plate. Everything was well seasoned and had great flavor. We dined in, and the food was brought to our table after ordering at the counter. The staff were helpful and explained the menu items. They also have vegetarian options. read more

Family owned!! They do amazing every single time! I usually get the double Kubideh plate, the rice and charred tomato are so good! Check them out, they are all super nice! read more

A little pricey, but I absolutely love the food. There's no other Persian place that compares! My go tos are the beef kubideh, mast'o musir, and shirazi salad. read more

Great find on Yelp !!! waiting for our flight back to CVG Out of Denver we were wanting something home cooked and would hold us over, Airport food doesn't get it... Being a fan of Iranian food we looked up a couple options, Babajoon's looked the most authentic, pictures and menu. Colorado you have some great places to eat. Enjoy Friendly staff great food!!! This would be my go to for Mediterranean in the Denver Area. read more

My husband and I got take out this past Saturday for lunch. Everyone working was wearing a mask the proper way, and there were only two tables of people eating inside. Our food was ready in roughly ten minutes, and was perfect as always. Two skewers of kubideh (which I would happily eat on a daily basis because it's that good), grilled onion, grilled tomato, and tasty, tasty bread. It's not quite the same experience when you're snarfing it in your car, but I'm just happy to be able to continue eating such great food. read more

Pretty decent. I'd give it a 2.5-3 star. Food could've been A LOT HOTTER. I like having to blow my food because it's so hot. It was lukewarm at best hence the low rating. Grilled tomatoes were pre-grilled and cold. Koobideh was lukewarm. Only my chicken was hot. Everything is priced 18% higher than listed which was shady. Also, have to pay for onions which should be complimentary. Mastokhiar was nice to come with the plate. I'd return only IF my food was hotter and fresher. I paid 62 bucks for some food that has obviously been precooked. read more

The food is always fresh and delicious every time, one of our favorite places to eat when we don't feel like cooking.

Clean and fresh food. Love the flavor and quality of everything. The salad dressing is awesome too. All the meats are stellar.
