Sayeh was absolutely kind and fantastic, making us feel right at home. Family-owned with fantastic service and food. Our favorite appetizer was the grilled chicken probably the best I've ever had. The hummus was so good. We loved the beef kebab. read more

Beef is good way better than the chicken. Chicken is dry and had very little flavor. Rice is also not that flavorful but the seasonings at the table helped. The grilled jalapeño is possibly the spiciest jalapeño I've ever had. I liked the spice addition though. Good portions as well. Hummus was a let down even if the chips were good. read more

The food here was not great and you don't get much for what you pay. Also, they're prone to nickel and dime you if you make any changes or customize your order. read more

If you haven't been to Cyrus Kebab yet, you're seriously missing out. This place is a gem! The food is incredibly flavorful -- everything tastes fresh, well-seasoned, and made with real care. The kebabs are tender and juicy, the portions are generous, and the sides are just as good as the main dishes. We tried the Hummus and the Kashk Bademjan and the Shirazi Salad. All delicious. Especially the homemade pita chips! We also ordered the Mixed family platter and the lamb kebab special. Wow. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The owner came out to chat with us during dinner. She was very sweet and kind. The staff go out of their way to make you feel at home. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for dinner with friends, it's the kind of place that makes you want to come back. I'm honestly so glad I tried it, and I can't recommend it enough. If you're in Lubbock and craving something delicious, give Sirius Kebab a visit -- you won't be disappointed! read more

This place is a hidden gem in Northwest Lubbock! Beautifully kept, clean, and inviting space greets you as you come in the door. Very friendly staff, family owned, and they take obvious pride in their business. Even if you have little to no experience with Persian food, trust that they will answer any question you might have. There are many options, but we chose to try the steak and chicken kabobs. They come with rice and your choice of several grilled vegetables. Also comes with flatbread and an eggplant mixture before the food comes out. Very good, just by itself. Portions are generous, with plenty of food. A couple could easily split a regular order, and maybe order some extra vegetables. Food is cooked well and tastes very good. Keep in mind, this is not seasoned like fajitas! I didn't ask about the different spices they used, but they are very flavorful. The steak was my favorite, whereas my wife preferred the chicken. We brought home enough for a meal tomorrow from our leftovers. One thing I highly recommend is getting the hot tea. The way it is served with a stick of rock candy for sweetening, and a date in a small container on a golden dish is just a fun experience. We met the owners, and they were so kind and friendly. Go by and give this place a try. Thankful that we did! read more

I travel to Lubbock for work regularly but rarely eat out. I decided to treat myself and did a quick search. I am so glad I did! The food was fresh, flavorful and phenomenal! The service was wonderful too. Friendly and fast! I will definitely be sending my coworkers and will visit when in Lubbock next. Next time I will save room for dessert! read more

I love this place. The chicken kabob with rice and veggies is so juicy and delicious, the rice is perfectly seasoned and grilled veggies just like you'd make on your grill at home. The falafel is the best I've found in Lubbock (no hate to other amazing spots, but this is my favorite!). The portions are definitely worth the price and I ALWAYS have leftovers. Give it a try today! Awesome staff! read more

Always excellent food and atmosphere reminds me of being in Tehran having dinner or at the local bakery to get some bread. Services is always very friendly. read more

This place is wonderful. The food is so good and well prepared. The place is nothing fancy but comfortable and clean. Always have had excellent service. They don't always have lamb kabobs but if they do---grab them! read more

Was in Lubbock for work and looking for something that wasn't Mexican or a steakhouse. Decided to try this place on a whim. Small, very clean, family owned establishment that offered super fresh Persian food. I had their family platter mixed kabob grill with roasted veggies and saffron rice. Everything I had was fantastic and fresh. Waitress was super attentive, very nice and service was extremely quick. The owner came out to check on my meal, struck up conversation and was super accommodating asking if I need anything else, etc. I ordered everything non-spicy being unsure of the normal spice level here. Next time I will go fullbore because everything tasted wonderful. Super clean, perfectly cooked meats and roasted veggies. I went on a Sunday and the place was empty later in the evening, but so happy I decided to eat in . I will be back!! read more

Cyrus Kabob - Family size mixed kabob grill with roasted vegetables and saffron rice - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Fantastic customer service, lovely comfort food, and the owners treat you like family! Great lamb, halim, and the lemon pepper joojeh will always be my favorite! This place is a must try for those who are looking to branch out to an authentic, flavorful, fresh, and made-with-love style of cooking. If you are new, I highly recommend trying the Kashk Bademjan for an appetizer. read more

It's hit or miss. Ordered the orange chicken kebab and that was great. Went back and tried the lemon one and that was over salted.

Best thing I've eaten at Lubbock TX! Got their beef koobideh with saffron rice with grilled tomato and sweet peppers. The beef was so flavorful with all the spices. Wish they offered garlic sauce. read more

Unfortunately, I couldn't even place an order. The choices were limited and the lady on the phone was not cooperative. Simple request like having two extra rice for the sides instead of one rice and something else was not possible. Very disappointed that we did not get to try this place. I am Persian and traveling thru Lubbock and was excited for some Persian food. Maybe the owners should consider who they put on the phone and maybe more cooperative. read more

For never having Persian food this place was a unique but great experience. We got both the chicken and beef kabobs which were both very flavorful. The rice was amazing with plenty of it. The Kashk Bademjan was very interesting. A little garlicky but we were warned of that and overall still very good. Would recommend you get it. The Persian tea and Saffron ice cream were both good and had a very cool presentation to them. The family is very nice and gave us excellent service. They definitely went above our expectations and gave us plenty of bread and told us about their life. My only other comment is that I wish there was a bit more meat with the meals but it's still a lot of food for what you are getting. read more

Incredibly delicious food, super sweet service, and though we had take-out the few minutes waiting in the restaurant were super comfortable. I wish we had y'all in New York--I'd probably eat here for every meal! My family got the family mix platter with Kashk Bademjan, an eggplant dish. We mostly demolished it in short order among the three of us, but it's a good amount of food--very flavorful, yet simple & accessible. As far as Persian food goes, this is the best I've had. The chicken was tender with perfect char, the beef was juicy & perfectly marinated, the bread was exceptionally light, etcetera. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Cyrus Kabob - The partially eaten mixed family platter. We got about two thirds of the way through before I remembered to take a photo! - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

The service was incredibly amazing, the owner came and spoke with us, which was very nice. The food was delicious and incredibly good, my favorite was the eggplant appetizer with the bread was sooo sooo soo good, you won't be disappointed. I love all the drawings that were on one part of the wall. Overall the restaurant is the most delicious, amazing, food in Lubbock in my opinion. read more

This is absolutely some of the best food in Lubbock. The eggplant dip as An appetizer was incredible. Perfectly sweet and fruity eggplant flavors. The beef Kabab is perfectly seasoned and the orange chicken kabob spicy was very surprisingly spicy but not so much that you couldn't eat it. The portions were enough that it would probably make 3 meals from it. The bread is some of the best I've ever had I could eat their bread every day. Owners and staff were super nice and answered all of our questions and were very enthusiastic. You have to try it! read more

We love the soft meats and wise in the vegetables were delicious. Keep up the good work.

Highly recommend!! The most authentic and amazing flavors! The service was amazing and felt like home, will continue to return! Everything is fresh and is make with love. read more

This was our first trip to this new restaurant. We started with the falafel, which came with pickle and tomato slices. Our server Sayeh recommended ketchup with the falafel and it was delicious. We also had the Kashk Bademjan, which is eggplant, garlic, whey, mint sauce and Persian spices with bread. This was very flavorful as well. The tzatziki is great for dipping any and everything in. Very fresh and flavorful. For the entree we both had the Koobideh & Joojeh. This is a beef and chicken kabob with saffron rice and grilled tomato and sweet pepper. This also included crispy rice, which can be eaten several different ways and is a great addition to the meal. Sayeh provided excellent service and was very excited about sharing food from her family's culture and gave of some tips on different combinations and the unique spice that they served. The atmosphere was quite pleasant and relaxed. We will definitely be back. read more

Ordered many times from Uber eats. So far I think the only authentic and real good tasting Middle Eastern, Persian food in town. Never disappointed. Loved each time and all food. I hope they will keep this high quality because we really do not have any other place in these standards in town or close proximity. read more

The food is amazing. The service is amazing. Dining inside is a very pleasant experience. It's clean and the restrooms are clean. The beef and chicken are always juicy. read more

My new fav restaurant. Great food and kind staff. The kabob was amazing and I can't wait to try the weekend specials. Highly recommend!

Guys!! Don't sleep on this place! What a wonderful new addition to the Lubbock food scene. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted, and they offered to explain the menu. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. We ordered a family platter of beef kabobs, and it was more than enough food to go around. We also ordered the falafel and were encouraged to eat it the Persian way...with ketchup and Tabasco. Everything was very very tasty!! There are lots of tables, and everything is fresh and clean. read more

Cyrus Kabob - Koobideh Family Platter - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Just discovered Cyrus Kabob and it was absolutely delicious! We started with the Kashk Bademjan (spiced roasted eggplant served with bread). Then we had the Mixed Family Platter which had both beef and chicken kabobs. The grilled tomato and sweet peppers are a perfect compliment! The chef even brought out some lamb kabob for us to try and it topped everything! The lamb was tender and juicy - as good as a steak! If it's on the menu, you should definitely try it! Loved the special hot tea and saffron ice cream. Fantastic experience that our whole family enjoyed! read more

Both chicken and beef kabobs were so delicious and juicy! Make sure to eat some falafel it is amazing. Four of us enjoyed the atmosphere and the service and oh such authentic Persian food !! The tsaziki was fresh and perfect. read more

A nice change of pace in Lubbock! We had the falafel to start, it was great! Then we had the special koobideh and the koobideh & joojeh. Both were great but the special koobideh was the best! Great service, hope Lubbock keeps this gem going for years! read more

I have never been a fan of kabobs, in general. Always thought they were pretty dry, dull and tasteless. But, over my misgivings, the wife convinced me to try Cyrus K, and now I've seen the light. These kababs, both chicken and beef, are juicy and packed with flavor. And if you order the spicy option, they also pack some pretty serious heat. Cyrus K also serves delicious homemade bread, and very tasty flame-grilled wings. All in all, the food is excellent, and you get plenty of it. But that's only part of the story. The family who own the restaurant are some of the most gregarious and generous people you'll ever meet. When dining at Cyrus K, it's more like dining in the family's home than in an impersonal place of business. These are wonderful people. My only quibble is that one of the waitresses has extensive facial piercings that are frankly horrendous to behold. They don't do anything for one's appetite but dampen it. I wish restauranteurs would put their foot down and forbid this aesthetic blight in their establishments. read more

This place is fantastic! We love the chicken- and the family meal feeds my family (including the 18 yr old boy that eats a ton). It's healthy and flavorful. I also love how you can tell it's family owned. read more

place is lovely, people are so friendly, food was really delicious. i highly recommend the family platter.

Great food and service. This place is a gem. If you like fresh, healthy food this is the place to go. Service was amazing as well.

I have been to this wonderful restaurant twice and have been impressed both times! Dining is clean and comfortable. I really enjoy the music. The hot tea is definitely the thing to start you off. The kabobs, saffron rice, grilled peppers & tomato are so delicious! Make sure to try the saffron ice cream, it is truly an experience!!! The owners and staff are an absolute delight. Cyrus Kabob is welcoming and my favorite place! read more

Tried it for the first time today. It was good! I especially enjoyed the chicken! The beef wasn't bad it just wasn't my favorite. The service was good. The place is clean and comfortable. I wish there were other sauce options as I'm not a huge fan of tzatziki. read more
