I went to an event there last night. Food was excellent. People were friendly and helpful. Strong recommendation for a catered event in their party room or whatever! read more

Colbeh - Candles on a table - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Great Neck, New York

I want to give a big shout out to Colbeh for never failing to provide fantastic service. This past Sunday, we had a small, intimate wedding for my daughter. The room was set up beautifully. The flowers on the table & the chupah were tastefully done & the service was above & beyond. Pejman is an absolute professional. He addressed all of our concerns & made us feel confident that the evening would run smoothly. The food was, as it always is, delicious & plentiful. I highly recommend Colbeh for any occasion you have. read more

We had the best party ever at Colbeh. I did practically nothing! The food was great! The staff is terrific. I suggest you have your party there without a question! Love them! Beatrice at the bar amazing! Pahjman couldn't have been more helpful! read more

It's near 2-weeks since our son's Bar Mitzvah catered by Colbeh. 3 meals: Fri night, kiddush (lunch) and seuda shlishit ( 3rd meal dinner). My apprehensions whether everything would come out well was met with 'don't worry' from the caterer manager. Do you know she called me next day, on her way to Rome, saying she too was concerned everything would turn out well for the special shabbat. Well that night/day was so grand that we felt like King, Queen, Prince---this turned out to compliment all our guests: feast for eyes and mouth. The food was spilling over into abundance. If it wasn't a holy day, we might think it was a decadent dinner . You can ask any of our more than 100 friends, the food was sweet and delicious. Since it was shabbat timing was all important. Our meals were hot (except for the dairy lunch). Following all the strictures, the food was fresh on delicious buffet tables: Oranges, Cherries, all spices from the 'orient'. The staff paid so much attention to the servings, that even if they were not working that moment they were poised to help any of our invites. The Rabbi's came over to me and said this event (the food) was the best they had in the Temple. She also said she will recommend Colbeh to members in the synagogue: very impressed. My family had a chance to rejoice, for my son's efforts and for the food taste and display. Time is making our experiences recede, I wish I had the food now in front of me. We, as a family may never repeat such a big affair again. Regardless of the expense, the food highlighted we lacked nothing: Rich eating. Colbeh knows the public taste read more

The food is amazing here. We had our engagement party here. Amazing memories from this place. Pejman is the man!!!

Dear Mr Pejman and the entire Colbeh Team, My family and i would really like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You threw a really beautiful party and exceeded our every expectation! Thank you so much for making our simcha special. read more

Came here on the recommendation of someone else, and I can say that I was completely blown away. The food was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is a "casual/upscale" type feel if that makes sense...white table cloth but not overly sophisticated feeling (at least for lunch time). I was a little taken back by the prices especially since this only shows $$ on yelp I would consider it more like three and a half. Example: $21.50 was one of the lowest prices for a small entree option. Lamb Kebob: 5/5, the lamb was delicious. Perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. Chicken Kebob: 5/5, same as the lamb. Cooked perfectly with great flavor and seasoning. Highly recommend either one. Hummus Appetizer: 5/5, best hummus I've ever had from texture to taste. The basmati rice with orange peel is hands down the best rice dish I've ever had in my life & highly recommend it with your entree. Overall, this was a great experience and I'm happy I came here for lunch. The staff couldn't have been friendlier and really went out of their way to make this a great meal. The only reason this is not a 5 star review is because of the price aspect. Otherwise I can't complain about anything at this location. read more

Food is very good and plentiful. Attentive staff. A bit pricey, but worth it. Middle Eastern cuisine is spiced and you should inform the waiter if you have any allergies or digestive issues. Municipal Parking lot is two blocks away,since street parking can sometimes be difficult. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our Gormeh Sabzi, our orange rice, and (best of all) our Cherry Rice. We also appreciated the care with which the managers of the Great Neck location prepared the restaurant itself for comprehensive COVID-19 prevention. Thank you, Colbeh, for a wonderful evening of Farsi Sephardic cuisine and fond memories. read more

A somewhat last minute visit, I'm preggo and with too much snow everywhere we were limited to places that have either valet parking or a parking lot. Colbeh is always a staple, solid go to. It's a bit dated in decor but the food is always solid, always consistent and always delicious. Plus the staff is super friendly, personable and won't ever let your water glass get less than half empty. Ordered some meaty cumin laced cigars as our app, they sent out a flavorful tadek topped with sabzi as well. For our entree a combo kabob platter with a strip steak kabob and a ground beef kabob, and a braised veal & eggplant in tomatoe sauce stew. All beautifully prepared, presented in large shareable platters and most importantly piping hot! For dessert we opted for the Tiramisu and the Cappuccino cake and for parave desserts they were quite good. Since it was tu b'shevat a complimentary plate of fresh sweet watermelon and honeydew were served as well. Overall a good place to have dinner for 2 or a group gathering since each dish is definitely generously served to share and then some. read more

This was actually the second time I have been to Colbeh. The first time was a few years ago and I was not impressed at all. I have too start off by saying I am not a big fan of kosher resturaunts at all. This time My daughter picked the restaurant for us too meet at so we could meet our future son in law and his parents. As the first time I was there I had the steak and did not like it This time i went safe and had the salmon with white rice. The salmon was actually pretty good. The service was excellent and the staff was fast and friendly. I personally would not go back to Colbeh myself again. I have to say the only plus for me about Colbeh is that it was a lot closer than having to drive to five towns to eat diner. read more

This is a traditional hotspot for Persian families but also just about everyone in great neck to come and enjoy the boisterous evening full of hearty dishes and savory aromatic flavors. We went with some Persian friends abd they ordered and was it an abundance of amazing textures, scents and colors. And though I don't recall the names of most of the dishes they brought suffice it to say that they were plentiful. Since you eat practically family-style if someone orders a kebab you're going to probably be offered a piece of it. And so they ordered all the meats available and I had my usual rice and salads but it was fabulous to have so many different types of rices that they prepare with different kinds of infusions of orange peels and perhaps mint. So even if you don't usually take home a doggy bag prepared to take one home here for sure. Oh and by the way don't skip the cakes the baklava... read more

Food was incredible, service was beyond all expectations! Nice music, comfortable seating.

The best schwarma I have had in a long time. It was particularly good on the Lafa bread.

Excellent food and service. Was there recently for a Bar Mitzvah and had a great experience.

Food is amazing!! Service was great and would strongly recommend. Portion sizes are huge

Pejman and his team put together a fantastic event. The food was delicious (so much food! So delicious!) and the service spot-on. We opted for the DJ, games, and other bar mitzvah items offered by Colbeh and received great value for our money - they created a great atmosphere that was enjoyed by adults and kids alike. The room was properly sized, intimate but not crowded; plenty of room for 13 year olds to act their age. In sum, we had an amazing party and are very, very happy we had it at Colbeh. read more

When it comes to Iranian restaurants, whether in New York, LA, Toronto, or otherwise, Colbeh is the gold standard. Its food isn't the absolute best, but the whole experience is what deserves five stars and what makes it the most popular Iranian restaurant, probably in the country. Something that's iconic of Colbeh is how they bring out several dishes on the house before you even order. No other restaurant does this, and not to this extent. The complimentary pickles, hummus, and, of course, tahdig apps are what sets you up for true hospitality that the Iranian culture is known for. As for the meal, I recommend you get the barg, koobideh, or joojeh if you're in the mood for protein. If you want a stew, you can't go wrong with the ghormeh sabzi (national dish and my personal "last meal before I die"), fesenjoon, or bamieh. Their grilled salmon and swordfish are also pretty special. Dessert - try the bakhlava, or faloodeh if they have it. They bring out fruit on the house too. Colbeh is also popular for events, like engagement parties, baby showers, and birthdays, in the back. Right by the train and connected to the Andrew Hotel, it's convenient for guests and visitors from other towns. Tip: if you get takeout, ask them to put each meal in a separate bag so you get twice the amount of complimentary apps. read more

Great food, great service, portions are "love" sized. Came with my family for my birthday. I ordered the Chilean Sea bass skewers over dill rice and my son ordered schnitzel with fries. Various foods were brought to the table "on the house" and I think I got an additional three meals out of the sea bass. They also catered a few years ago my son's bar mitzvah dinner for our out of town guests. Overdelivered, No one left hungry. If you are the type of person who likes middle eastern food and likes to leave a table feeling full and contented, this restaurant is for you. If you like to eat tiny portions and leave sad, don't come here. read more

Colbeh in Great Neck hosted an event for my son's school last night (Schechter LI ) and knocked it out of the park! We had over 100 adults in a private room and the food was delicious, hot and plentiful! Set up was perfect - little to no waiting in line and the servers brought around drinks and Cleared up constantly. Definitely look to have an event there soon - you won't be disappointed! read more

I attended a charity event at Colbert last night and the food, service and room were all terrific. Food was tasty and plentiful, served in a very efficient buffet style along with walking waiters and waitresses serving hors d'oeuvres. I had seconds on almost everything. We loved Colbeh and they made a major difference in the quality of our event. read more

Kosher~yes! a friend suggested we go to Great Neck for a tasty classy meal it is worth the trip we were warmly greeted and immediately served giant warm pitas we wanted to order everything on the menu but narrowed it down to babaganosh (yummy),Hummus (like the best I ever had)gondi(chicken/matzah tasting balls(skip them) we were given on the house a rice dish with greens and chop meat very tasty but I have forgotten the name , just eat it anyway kabobs were a mix of chicken and steak and so good one highlight was the orange rice its not orange but has candied orange pieces and I could eat it every day they also have cherry rice on the menu and I am craving to taste this as I type it was crowded and its a bit noisy but very worth eating here ps we came in skinny jeans and we came with a Mom dressed to the nines read more

Legendary experience we will be talking about for years. Six star service that made my 7 member family feel like we were the only people in the restaurant even though it was packed to capacity. Exceptional, mouthwatering food across multiple courses. very generous portions- we felt like this is the only restaurant that Inflation had not hit. we were there to celebrate an important family milestone. when I told the waiter why we there he gave me a complimentary glass of 18 year scotch (quite tasty) and an unopened bottle of wine to my son in celebration of the milestone. Our family's new official place to celebrate!!! read more

Went to Colbeh in Great Neck for our 30th Anniversary dinner with our children and it was perhaps the single best dining experience of our collective lives. Besides the food and service being top-notch, the added throw-ins and extras were just unbelievable, topped off with a very nice bottle of wine to go for our special occasion. Would recommend them unreservedly for your dining enjoyment! read more

My husband and I hired Colbeh to cater our wedding and it was incredible. Many of our guests approached us and told us that it was the best food they had ever had at any wedding. Though we offered tons of meat options, our vegetarian guests had plenty of options to choose from. Even our guests with nut and gluten allergies did not go hungry. In addition, it was Colbeh's first time working at our venue, and they did an incredible job! Thank you to Pejman, Steven, and the entire staff for all their hard work! read more

Excellent food! Great attentive wait staff and beautiful restaurant. The food was just incredible. The chicken was juicy and flavorful and even the rice was flavored to perfection. read more

It's so good I'm writing a second review!! I am so grateful to Colbeh. I needed catering for a small event and they were incredible. They were so kind and worked with me to make it happen, the delivery even arrived early! The food was delicious, and the attendees were thrilled. 10/10 recommend using Colbeh for your next catering order! read more

Had an event at Colbeh of Great Neck. From the initial contact and going forward the experience was truly excellent. The actual event was flawless. The food was superb, the portions and varieties were extremely generous. The Desserts were also very plentiful and delicious. The service was fabulous as was the attention to detail. The entire Colbeh experience was truly enjoyed by all of us. We highly recommend Colbeh. We were a sizeable group and everyone raved about Colbeh. Thank you Pejman, and to the entire Colbeh staff !!! read more

The food here is amazing! Every year, we come here for our holiday party and the food never fails to impress me. Perfectly cooked and seasoned salmon. The rice selection is outstanding, the cherry rice and the orange rice are my favorite so far. The place can get extremely crowded especially during the holiday season, so be prepared to sit like sardines in a jar. It can also get loud at times but I'm all for it. The food is what makes this place totally worth a visit: get the salmon and try the various rice selections Drinks: I always stick to beer so I can't say much Service: consistent and good, waiters/waitresses are always checking on. Dessert: my least favorite part, nothing impressive, they do offer a variety platter. read more

If you love persian food then colbeh is for you! Try the persian rice, so good. Portion sizes are great and the food quality is 100%

Excellent Passover meal. Portions are huge, my son and I shared the ribeye. The salads and babaganoosh were sooo good. My son asked if we can come back again this week. read more

We came here for a family dinner. Everything was amazing. The hospitality was great. They were busy, yet they still managed to pay attention to us. The food was high quality. We would definitely recommend trying out Colbeh. read more

I have eaten colbeh too many times. If there's is a funeral A baby shower or any sort of event even corporate meetings colbeh is the place to go. The last time I was at the baby shower I had the worse pains ever and 3 hours later it all went down the drain. Yet again my husband and I both had extreme pains and exploded in the bathroom. I wasn't so lucky my pains lasted for 7 hours. Even his coworker whose a beast got sick in the morning. I don't eat the meat here because it's always over cooked and chewy so I try to stick to only the fish. I never get sick on fish and I cook for myself all the time and these occurrences of food poisoning never happens. It has to be it is not fresh and they don't want to waste the food so they serve it. Regardless if it causes food poisoning. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant and events place. I had my wedding party there and it was marvelous. I loved that the rabbi came and did the ceremony. And then there was unlimited drinks which were good and top shelf, there was soda for people who did not drink alcohol as well. People were amazing to us and the best part there is plenty of parking for the party we had and U can use the lot From the train station as well. For us we ended up getting few hotel rooms Which was so convenient to change shoes reapply make up etc and rest after the big event. The food Was over the top the baklava was good, the rice with cherry and orange rice was so good. Food Was everywhere photographers were great and out of this world they took many wonderful pics and we got a book as well of Pics. We ordered our own cake but there were so many pastries that it was over the top with sweets. D j was good energy was amazing wedding was special And blast . I think this place is good for any type of party fresh food guaranteed. And it was convenient with hotel on top of party and lots of parking spaces read more

Very tasty and authentic persian food. I would avoid the appetizers and go straight for the mains. The barg kebab (cubed steak) is the best and can serve two people. Only con would be trying to eat the food the next day, never tastes the same. I believe they put some sort of margarine coating on the meat which solidifies when you put your leftovers in the fridge. read more

I used Colbeh to cater a wedding in 2020. Wedding was outdoors and was covid safe. the day before the wedding, there was a tropical storm and there was no electricity throughout long island but Colbeh brought in generators and the wedding went on seemlessly. Pejman is really devoted to his customers and treats them like his own family. Same for the restaurant in Great Neck--great ambiance, amazing food and service is top notch! You will not be disappointed. read more

Had a dinner party with a group of girls for my birthday and not only was the food delicious but the staff and owner went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our night was amazing. I really cant think of a better place where food atmosphere and service was so top notch. read more

Although we do not get the opportunity to dine out often, when we do, we run to Colbeh of Great Neck. The food is consistently perfect, the management goes out of their way to make us feel like we are the greatest thing since sliced bread, the prices are very reasonable and the service is impeccable. The well appointed, well decorated, relaxing ambiance is the perfect backdrop for an amazing meal. The portions are extremely generous and I have never left hungry. From beginning to end, they consistently offer additional food free of charge so you're never more than a minute or two without something to eat. And they make sure your water glass is always full. It's great for couples and families alike, and the restaurant is large enough to accommodate large or small groups. The food, atmosphere and service are all first class all the way and it's an absolute pleasure to dine here! read more

I've eaten at colbeh at least a dozen times in their nyc and roslyn locations. The food is excellent. Here in Great Neck - awful! I've been informed by friends in this community that Colbeh staff disregard patrons who are not persian. Last week, I ate at Colbeh along with several non-persian friends. Within 30min of finishing the meal half us with each of our different entrees became ill. That stomach ache continued into the next day. Never thought a Jewish establishment would mistreat us other Jews simply because we're not persian. I will recommend to all white/American non-persian people never eat at this establishment! read more
