Came here for lunch. It was about $18 (after tax) for gyro meat, rice and some salad. Service: considering I didn't stay to eat, it was good enough. Took about 10 minutes to make my food. Ambience: some people had lunch inside. The place isn't big, but there was plenty of space. It looks like you may get more food when dinning in. What I liked: the rice. It was well flavored and perfectly cooked. What I liked less: the gyro meat. It tasted like it was mixed with stuff, probably gluten. The salad was also on the plain side although I liked that they shredded some pickles into it. Overall, not bad but if I come back I will probably try something else of the menu. read more

My first review ever. And only because I truly can't believe this place . Every time I say never again, they keep reminding me. Here's the deal. And I truly can't understand it. Everytime I order, they conveniently forget something. And I Just can't understand it. Either they forget the Pita, or the sauce , or the rice or The actual meal. This time I ordered two Kubidas. and I ordered extra bread with the humas knowing they would forget the pito as in the past! Grant it , this meal cost me over 70$ with uber eats. My bad. this time they decided to exlude the rice. When I called it asked why , the ladies answer was because I ordered extra bread so they assumed I didn't want rice.! I mean , seriously? When will I learn my lesson with this place? Buyer beware. Enough is enough! read more

Kabob On the Cliff - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Cliffside Park, New Jersey

Their food is super tasty, and the staff are really kind and friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Iranian cuisine,

Our food arrived hot and freshly prepared with a minimal wait. Kashk-e-badamjon tasted wonderful with just the right amount of kashk and mint atop the eggplant mixture. My moist, juicy chicken breast kabob arrived on a bed of specialty rice, zeresh polo. The zeresh berries could've used some sweetener to accentuate the sharp tangy flavor and meld it more with the rice. My husband's kubideh kabob made with lamb hit the spot for him. We topped off the meal with excellently flavored Persian ice cream. The dining area looked clean and neatly set. However, the whole area smelled musty. They really need to freshen the air there! That's the only reason I gave a 4 rating instead of a 5. read more

The prices are very reasonable and the best dish is the marinated steak pieces. The chicken is great too but steak is a favorite, and very flavorful. The basmati rice with saffron and sour cherries also a favorite. For dessert, love the Saffron and Rosewater flavored ice cream. It's very refreshing and not heavy. As for the service, very good and attentive staff. Ambience is nice. read more

If you are looking for authentic and delicious Persian food, you must try this place! We ordered the Kashke Bademjan as an appetizer and the Ash Reshteh Soup and chicken Breast kabob as our entrees. Everything was absolutely delicious, especially their Ash soup. Currently researching the recipe to make myself because it was that good!! Lol Not sure if it's a family run restaurant but it definitely felt like it. Service was welcoming and attentive. 5 stars! This location is right off palisades avenue and street parking is available. Another top restaurant to put on our list. read more

I was excited to try Kabob On the Cliff out for lunch after finding there was a Persian place nearby. Maybe it was because it was delivery, but I wasn't as impressed. I ordered the falafel, hummus, shirazi salad, beef kabob pita, and gheimeh bademjan stew. The falafel came warm and crunchy and the hummus was nicely seasoned. I asked for Persian flatbread for both orders, since they each came with accompanying bread, but got one order flatbread and one pita. The shirazi salad came with a separate lemony vinaigrette, but it didn't save the salad from being disappointingly bland. The beef in both the kabob sandwich and the stew were sadly dry. The gheimeh was pungent and slightly tart, which came from the lime, and the split peas were perfectly cooked. The fried eggplant on top was tender as well. My other complaint is the mismatch between the online menu and the delivery menu. I wasn't able to order on the phone, as when I called they directed me to place it on a delivery service, but there were no lunch special options available on Grubhub. Some menu items don't appear on the delivery menu as well. Overall, it was a hit or miss depending on the items. Not sure if the experience would be different in person. read more

Saw people recommend this place on the Facebook group and I decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint. The chicken kebob that I ordered is tasty and flavorful, it's chicken breast meat but it doesn't taste dry at all. The rice, bread and side salad are also very good. I didn't give 5 stars because I ordered 2 extra tomatoes but they didn't give them to me and I didn't find out until I were already home. Fortunately, the extra tomatoes is only 75 cents each, so it doesn't hurt too much! Will return again! read more

I only give 4 stars instead of 5 because the restaurant increased the price significantly. While the food is the best in New Jersey and service is super outstanding, increasing price significantly doesn't justify this action. On top of that charging for credit card. Double dip. read more

This Persian restaurant was amazing. We tried their Barley Soup which was so good, we had to buy one to take home!!! The Persian salad was very good. My only complaint about it was it needed more dressing. The balsamic mix glaze wasn't enough for me since I need dressing on every leaf; if I'm eating more dry greens than moist... it's too dry for me. I would have asked for more dressing on the side. The Kabob combo for 2 was delicious. We got lamb Koobideh but looking back we would have gotten beef since the platter already comes with lamb (which was the best part of the platter). The chicken skewer was good but was probably my least favorite item on my table. The rice was on point! I hate rice but this basmati rice which is topped with saffron is A1. Finally we decided to get the Iranian Ice cream & it was sooo refreshing!! I could taste the rose in it and the saffron gave it a great taste. Would definitely come back here or order out when we are in the mood for some Middle Eastern food. I didn't see pork on menu so place might be a good place for those seeing more Kosher like restaurants. The waitress was polite and helpful. She helped answer any questions i had and always kept her mask on when we sat in. A Must Go to Restaurant!! read more

Best Persian around town. No fuss, cozy, local restaurant. I go almost every week and food is consistent for the most part. I've tried a few different dishes and the bread they give you is crack! You should get one of their dips to go with it. Street parking is right around the corner. They have delivery but I suggest eating there. read more

Kabob On the Cliff - Kabob Combo for 2 - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Cliffside Park, New Jersey

The Cofte kabob is juicy and amazing. Rice is devious. Chiken was good. The chunks were ok. Good spot for authentic Persian food.

Summary: Mainstream Persian food, it was excellent, definitely a great date spot, felt like waiter was rushing us. Food: Appetizer consisted of eggplant dish with some Turkish bread, main course was the mix kabob kobideh, meat was juicy and cooked perfectly, the rice was also well seasoned. I usually throw on a lot of sumac because I love sumac so I did that. I inhaled my dish. Staff: Like I said, waiter kind of hovered around us and we felt rushed. Interior: Really pleasant, warm colors, persian influence, it's a cozy restaurant. The tables did seem smaller, because I was practically shoulder to shoulder with my friend sitting right next to me. read more

I was there for lunch! $10 sandwich and drink! I live walking distance from this place, i rarely go there. After having lunch here now I want to come back more often. I took the sandwich to go, the server was nice smiling all the time , the atmosphere is ok. I think some Persian music would be nice. Now the food. I got the first item from the list. Its like Persian style kebob. It comes with hot sauce and white sauce like the halal guys do in the city. The hot sauce is amazing. They had more sauce in the sandwich too. They gave me a option of whole wheat or white wrap. I got whole wheat. I like that they have the red seasoning on the table if you want to put more its called summak in Middle east. I am not sure what they call it. Give it a try , they have been around for a while and its been good since the last time i had it about couple years ago! read more

The food was very bad. Neither meat nor chicken could be cut. It was too harsh. It seems that the rice was prepared two days ago. The taste was terrible. I used to order this food before, it was much better than this time read more

More than terrible service. The waiter is incredibly rude and disrespectful and with no manners. When asked a question about the menu he is like about fight with you for asking a question!! One of the workers, sneezed in the middle of the dining room with NO MASK!! He (the waiter) said to him don't worry about it, it's fine!! When I said, no it's not fine can you please open the door; he turned to the worker and said: don't worry about it and he ignored me!! I called the owner and spoke to his son about the incidents, he was receptive and apologized, but the waiter continued being rude and disrespectful. We eat in this restaurant for years never seen a waiter like the one they have now. The food is good and the owner is a good person. I am hoping that they will terminate this waiter so I can erase this review. read more

Wonderful service and delicious kabob! I love their Koobideh kabob and their kashk badenjan.

I loved the kebabs, probably the best I've ever had and I've tried it in 6 states but this is the closest thing to a real one

Food was very good. One server, answering phone and serving...if you in a rush, don't stop in. If your are not in a rush and want some fall off the bone lamb shank goodness...Cheers! read more

I tried this place because of its 4-star review on Yelp. Now I am seriously doubting whether all these reviews are real. I ordered chicken kebab and lamb kebab, which comes with salad and rice. When I ordered, the host told me it would take 30 minutes. To my surprise, the food was ready after 15 minutes. Not bad, right? Well, little did I know the horror was about to start! I went home and quickly realized the rice portion was so small that the rice only covered the bottom of the container. Onto the meat, they were so dry that I had a hard time believing they were freshly cooked. The salad was unbelievably stale!! The first red flag was that they came directly from the fridge in containers. To top it all off, the host told me to use the lemon dressing for their salad. I felt so ripped off and upset about my experience here. If you live in the area, there are better Turkish restaurants nearby. Please avoid this one at all cost. read more

Solid food. I've never been to the actual restaurant but I would love to visit. The person on the phone was very friendly. Not a lot of options for this type of food, so I'm glad that this place is around. read more

If you don't visit this place for its food, you're going to miss a lot on life. I live in NY and yesterday was my first time coming to this place. It's pretty far for me especially since I don't have a car but after trying this place out, the distance is well worth it! read more

Had lunch here. The service is EXCELLENT! The decoration is clean but hideous, i came without my significant other, she would not like the looks and probably would not go in. Lunch special Kabob was very good, served with a roasted tomato and flavorless rice. Not a bad dish, not great. I ordered a diced salad with Cuke, tomato, onion & pepper. This was fair at best, dressing sucked. The serving was half of a small bowl, not attractive. Look at my pictures. read more

Great Persian food! Love their ghormeh sabzi and fesenjoon. All their kebabs are good too with a good amount of rice.

Went here on weekday around dinner time. It's a medium-sized space, and a few tables were taken with diners. However, there was some weird smell around the restaurant, can't say what exactly but it was unpleasant. I ordered the chicken breast kabob (see pic) which comes with rice, salad and a roasted tomato piece. The salad was pre-made and stored in containers in the fridge, so they just put one in your to-go order. Even though it was premade, it did taste somewhat fresh. The rice was a bit stale and I would have preferred a little more flavor to it, instead of just plain old white stale rice. The chicken breast pieces (cubes) were cooked well yet soft and had a nice taste. They also gave a bread piece, which was soft and went great with the white sauce they give. The chicken, white sauce and bread were good. The salad was okay. Rice was bad. The ambience of the restaurant was okay, but the weird smell made me decide to take my food to-go. Service was allright. read more

Honestly the owner is driven by greed behind closed doors. Constantly holding the worker's hard earned week pay. Don't even get me started on how overworked his workers are and getting paid jacksh.t because the workers aren't from the states. So it's definitely an advantage to the business being paid under the table. I remember the faces. The hostess and the waiter are very catty behind closed doors as well. read more

You know, I used to love this place. But, now .. I can't even get through the ordering process with this cashier/hostess who takes the orders over the phone and works the front. She seems utterly clueless when I try to order simple menu items that are listed in the menu right infront of her eyes. I spell out what I want very concisely and she doesn't seem to comprehend my request for a menu item, often responding to me with "so you want (insert menu item that I didn't just say)". It started when I ordered a combo kebab platter that came with chicken, a choice of lamb or beef, and koobideh, i told her "i don't want lamb, I want beef as the choice" she didn't seem to understand that the menu listed a choice between beef or lamb and just ended up giving me lamb. Then when I went to pick up she tried to pin it on me as if I made a mistake. I got so pissed I just left. She seems like a nice enough person, but jeeze, I don't think she should be working here lol. I gave it another shot just now before and it was a whole problem all over again fumbling my order right on the phone and not understanding that there's an item on the menu, and giving me a choice back that I literally didn't say. I asked to speak to another person there respectfully so I can get this order ready as I am working, and they just hung up on me lol. NICEEEE! God i want kebabs so bad and these guys are just clueless. It's sad because I used to hit this place in high school until now, and I've never had these issues. Sorry! read more

The waitress was on a speakerphone the whole time we were there. Good news - she spoke a foreign language, so we at least did not follow the conversation. Bad news - she was really loud. We were the only people there, so this was very disruptive and unprofessional. Not going back until she is gone. There are plenty kabob places in the area. read more

Had the combo with my azizam, really good lamb koobideh (I'm not sorry to say this but Persians make the best over anyone in the Middle East LOL), fluffy basmati rice, chicken kabob and beef kabob, and lastly, the barbari was so fresh and tasty. Ahhh, I love Persian food. This place doesn't disappoint. Also, this is more of a take out place but you can sit and dine as well. Doesn't disappoint (yes, I said it twice LOL) :-) You will have a food baby too :P read more

I have been a customer for many years (2012) and order at least 3 to 4 times a week from here. But the last year or so the waitress that takes your order has increasingly gotten ruder over the past year. This last experience made me reconsider giving them my business. If the business owner sees this please speak with the hostess about customer service. I would hate for you to lose a customer. The food is delicious and highly recommend this place to friends and family but please work on your customer service. read more
