Great kebabs, top notch rice and food. Worth the pit stop for sure. I ordered the lamb kebab and my son the chicken and it was amazing. read more

My partner and I had a very pleasant meal here last night (Wednesday). You order at the counter and have a seat. Someone brings the food out to the table when it is ready. We ordered the 4 mezeh appetizer plate (4 8-oz containers). There are a number of choices and we got the baba ganouche, Mirza ghazemi (eggplant, tomato, garlic), pickled cabbage and beet hummus. Most were very good (I would say the weak one was pickled cabbage - crunchy, but not as flavorful as it could have been.) The beet hummus was a new item for us and we both enjoyed it very much. The dips were accompanied by a decent portion of triangles of pita. The pita was "ok" - a bit hard and chewy. We each got chicken kabob. The chicken was very moist and flavorful. I got mine in a platter with half salad and half rice. I enjoyed both. We also ordered roasted vegetables, which were one of the highlights. Onions and zucchini - roasted perfectly. The platter is a lot to eat and we took most of the dips home for another time. The staff were helpful. One person was friendly and the other oddly not. The restaurant seating area was comfortable. read more

We liked the authentic Iranian food. They have a homemade ice cream, which is supposed to be Iranian. It was one of the best ice cream I ever had would come back. read more

summary: my experience is with their catering service and everything was delicious and fresh. I'd very much check out their main menu to see what they have to offer based on my experience with their food. Their catering provides a variety of their menu options with grains, greens, proteins, and sauces. Everything was well-seasoned, perfectly cooked, and in a great condition especially considering it was catered. The veggies had a great snap when taking a bite and the proteins were tender. Located in an area where Mediterranean-style cuisine is pretty common, Boro Kabob impresses and I'd definitely check out their main menu. read more

Boro Kabob - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I have been patronizing the Böro Kabob which "Boro"means "to go" in Persian language. They have been successfully in business for the past 4-5 years. The service is very consistent and very reliable. The food quality is great and I believe they use very high end ingredients in their products to create the perfect taste and texture of their food. I highly recommend to try their Sumac Fries which tastes that came from heaven. Their Kabobs are also juicy and tasteful. The interior is very beautiful despite not much of the sitting area for crowd to chill. The service is excellent and the owners Sanaz and Raymond always present there and super duper friendly people and pleasant seeing them. I highly recommend and suggest them for anyone looking for a good Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine! read more

Awesome good food. Friendly and helpful staff. Love the upgraded go bag. Try the hummus. Best i have ever had and I've been around the block read more

Came back again for lunch and got the kobideh pita. It was excellent and now my favorite. They forgot the garlic sauce, but it was still moist and packed with flavor. The fries were fried a little too hard, but I'm really liking this place so far. I love the pickled cabbage which brings a nice crunch and freshness, but it's also really messy to eat. Portions are huge and would return again soon. read more

I can't believe I haven't been coming here sooner! Everything is made fresh with high quality ingredients. When I placed my order, they asked me so many preferences like how cooked do I want the kabobs, what kind of bread do I want, how much rice/salad do I want, do I prefer roasted tomatoes or roasted veggies, and so on. This showed me everything is made right then and there and that the staff cares- I could customize my order exactly to my liking. I shared the combo #3 kabob platter which consists of chicken and koobideh kabob. The food arrived within 10-15 minutes. It was more than enough food to share between two people. The food was delicious and fresh with a big portion! I appreciate that since many other kabob places I know skimp on the salad, chutneys, or other sides. The interior is welcoming, but the shop is a little small. It is clean with decorative interior. I think I found myself a new place to go to for Persian style kabobs! Next time I'll be sure to try their Shawarma options and other items! read more

Boro Kabob - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Boro Kabob's management goes above and beyond to accommodate every customer. This is not merely our opinion; my wife and I have dined at their Columbia, Maryland location on numerous occasions and have personally observed how attentively they serve customers from many different backgrounds and nationalities. Their staff consistently adapts to individual needs with professionalism, patience, and respect. The food is excellent. It is healthy, not excessively salty or greasy, and all ingredients are fresh. The meat is of top quality, and the food is prepared with exceptional cleanliness and care. We have great respect for every member of the staff, both in the kitchen and in the dining area. Despite not having a prime waterfront or highly visible location, this restaurant surpasses many well-known establishments. In our opinion, Boro Kabob stands among the finest restaurants in the area and compares very favorably with prominent dining destinations, including popular waterfront restaurants and Japanese restaurants such as Sushi Sono. read more

The chicken shawarma with the spicy green jalapeno sauce is the bomb! So delicious and flavorful. My wife had the chicken wrap and it was great too. The combo include the best French fries in town. The service is also friendly and thoughtful. They routinely asked if we needed anything and checked to make sure we loved what we ordered. We did! Do yourself a favor and try Boro Kabob! read more

I ordered a big sized triangle baklava 12 pieces instead I got the tiny rectangle baklavas for 50 dollars not only that it took 1 hours to arrive.

Boro Kabob - Falafel Shawarma Plate - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Ordered lamb shawarma and chicken shawarma sandwiches via DoorDash for Friday lunch at Black Flag Brewing. Food arrived in good time, warm and tasty a with tender, well seasoned meat, a wide range of fresh veggie toppings (I recommend the pickles and eggplant spread). A freshly baked pita accompanied my platter. Really tasty and generous portions. Would definitely order from here again. read more

This place was a GREAT find. I live in Annapolis & I wanted to meet a friend from Germantown halfway, so we chose Columbia based upon geography. Boro Kebab is a cute & clean place, convenient from major highways, and the food is delicious! It is tucked into the corner of the little strip mall. We both ordered the chicken kebab platter, with 1/2 rice and 1/2 salad. The salads came out first, and they were a generous size. The chicken kebabs were perfect--tender and juicy. There was plenty of rice, grilled tomatoes, red onions, and pita bread. It felt like a feast. I finished every bite. The fellow at the front counter was very friendly. I will be back for sure. Check this place out. read more

I felt the love read more

Boro Kabob - Chicken Kabob - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

This place was so yummy. My friend recommended the kabobs here. I got the lamb and my friend got the chicken. Meats were seasoned and cooked perfectly. Really juicy and tender. The rice and saffron truffle Parmesan dip was straight fire. I need to get a tub of it and dip everything in it. Prices are reasonable and don't forget to use their mobile app for deals. Nice variety of sides and meats to choose from. You have limited seating inside and it's located right off the main road. It's a fast casual restaurant. Expect quick service and some of the meats may take some time to order. I will definitely be back to try some other meats and specials. read more

This is my neighborhood go-to. In a world of French fries and burgers, it's tough to choose what to order out when you prefer as home cooked meal. Boro is the best option on days/nights like that. It's always fresh, always warm, always delicious read more

Wowww! I am in awe of the amazing service of our hostess. She mentioned to us that we can get 15% off our order when we download their app. She took her time in explaining the menu to me and my partner because it was our first time here. She served us pita bread appetizers for free before our meal came. She smiled the whole time and served with grace and love. The food was FSNTASTIC! We are coming back again read more

I enjoyed my lunch there. They have a $15 lunch special that comes with kabob, rice, pita, side and salad. I got a salmon kabob, with hummus. I also got an ice cream, $8 and that was good too.

DD ordered through DoorDash last night, so I can't speak to parking, etc. But the food - chef's kiss! I have been wanting gyro for a while now, and opted for the platter rather than the wrap. I seldom eat all the pita; it's just too "bready" and filling for me. The one downside to the platter is, you just get the meat and 3 pitas, plus a small container of Masto-Khiyar (tzatziki or cucumber yogurt sauce), and none of the salad that goes inside a typical wrap. DD thoughtfully ordered a salad for me, though, which looked luscious. I haven't tried it yet because I was too stuffed from everything else! DD ordered Ash Reshteh, which is a Persian noodle and bean soup, plus Torsh Kabob, "Marinated chunks of beef tenderloin brushed with pomegranate, walnut, and garlic sauce". This came with a half small, roasted plum tomato and some red onion segments. She got some fries with feta cheese crumbles (not quite enough of those) that came with a little container of garlic sauce. This was good because the fries didn't have much garlicky flavor otherwise. She scooped most of the onion and sauce onto the fries, then we speared a few and dipped into the garlic sauce ... delish! She also got a slice of Baklava Cheesecake. "Made with a phyllo dough and pistachio crust, this creamy, honeyed baklava cheesecake incorporates the best of both desserts." I also haven't tried this yet, but DD said it was ... tasty, but an odd combination of textures that she couldn't quite like that much. It was definitely hard to not overeat because everything was amazing, even after traveling to get to us. I want to say a specific thing about the gyro meat: it was greasy. Now, I didn't notice it at all last night while it was fresh, but I reheated the 2nd half for lunch today and there was a lot. This may be really off-putting to some, so if it is, it might be best to go with the wrap. However, I am actually pleased with it and here's why: I easily drained it off after reheating, but it meant the meat itself wasn't dry after microwaving it. They sell bottled sauces and it's actually not that far from home, so I plan to take my friend in September (and maybe DD too, for her birthday!) and enjoy it in the restaurant. read more

Update: they have a new spicy garlic sauce, which is perfect with the Impossible Kabob platter!!!

11/23/21 My husband placed a carryout order by phone for two Chicken Kabob. On his way to pick it up, he received a text to inform him that it was ready. You can place an order by phone or online for pickup or delivery. They also offer catering. I was honestly never a big fan of Mediterranean food, but I've tried it at several restaurants the last few months and actually enjoy it now. Their menu is inspired by Persian and Mediterranean cuisine. It was not only tasty, but I'm happy knowing that I am fueling my body with nutrients and fresh and healthy food . It definitely helps with my digestion and I don't feel bloated and heavy like after I do when I eat a lot of carbs and fried food. We enjoyed our dinner and will be back. read more

Our first visit to Boro Kabob. The food is delicious and the service was very pleasant and helpful. Sunny and Angela worked the counter and couldn't be nicer. We enjoyed all the food and would like to see better cutlery. The plastic provided isn't the best for cutting through the meat. The dining area is small but cute. We came at an off time so not crowded. We split the wings - 6 at $13...good but extremely pricey. Wouldn't get those again for that price. The combo #3 was $27 and was very good but again super pricey, especially for one person eating with plastic on paper plates. We had a 20% coupon and saved $8 which was more palatable at $32 total. Apparently there is a mobile app that earns rewards and has special pricing. Still up in the air on downloading it due to prices. With that said, the food and service were very good. Give it try and decide for yourself. read more

I loved the food here! I'm so glad I found this place on yelp. Don't let the location fool you, it's like a hole in the wall. Food and service will not disappoint. I ordered the #6 combo (lamb and kobideh) with half and half rice plus salad, but portion size is so big that made me wonder if they gave us full orders of rice and salad by accident? There's so much rice that I don't think an average human being can consume it all in one meal. The kobideh was perfectly seasoned and tender, but my lamb was slightly over-cooked (that's why 4 star instead of 5). I also ordered the mezze platter, which came with 4 dippings of my choice plus pitas, for sharing with my colleague. Maybe I shouldn't have ordered so much food, but I'm glad I got to try different things because everything tasted delicious! I especially like the yogurt sauce and baba ganoush. My coworker liked the hummus the best, out of the dipping sauces. My coworker had the grilled chicken combo and liked it. There's a lot of two seater tables, so probably not the best setting for big groups or families. I liked that it was well lit and very clean. The service staff were all super friendly. I ended up packing my leftovers so I can enjoy them for breakfast or snack on another day! read more

This restaurant gets 10 stars from me. The customer service was absolutely amazing! Once i walked in i was immediately greeted with a friendly hello from a young lady that was cleaning up the sit down area. The manager Sanat Gayana who was on the phone when I walked in was so sweet. Once she hung up she came over to greet me and gave me the run down of the restaurant, and the different daily specials. She convinced me to download the app by saying I would get a discount. Everyone loves a discount lol. The app is very easy to navigate. She even gave me free hummus and offered me bottle water while I waited for my food. I ordered the chicken and salmon combo with half rice, half Greek salad. Baby the portions are huge. It's easily dinner for two days. The meats were fresh and seasoned and cooked to perfection. I love a Greek salad and this one was fresh. The olives were potted which i prefer. The pita bread was so soft and warm. I really enjoyed the hummus as well. I made some home made pita chips. I burnt the first batch lol. But there was enough pita bread for me to make more. This place has gained a customer for life. Please don't change anything, you all are doing amazing!! Do yourself a favor and give this place a try read more

I was looking for a Persian restaurant and since this is the only one in our area, I decided to try. I am Persian and know what is quality Persian food. I ordered Fesenjan and rice. Both were not good because the rice did not taste like Persian flavored rice (it was a cheap type) and the fesenjan (which the main ingredients are walnuts, pomegranate juice and chicken) were not used in appropriate quantities I know in real Fesenjan. There was no chunks of chicken. The Fesenjan was very watery and sour which does not resemble real Fesenjan. Another complaint was the price was excessive for the amount of food provided. Please do not advertise as a Persian restaurant because it is not authentic and very disappointing for Persians who know Persian food. Looking for your response. read more
