Their food comes out looking great and tastes really good. The price is the best out their for how good this food is. I would recommend it. It's busy on the weekends but pretty quiet weekdays. They serve beer and wine as well and the whole place is covered in old pictures of Iran. read more

Big juicy meat on a stick, what's not to like ammirite?! In all seriousness, the chicken was moist, the beef juicy, and the grilled tomato to die for. Price is a little hefty for casual takeout but the portions are good. read more

Perspolis Grill is a best place to make a good time and eat delicious and diffrent foods. Their food is really fresh and healthy. It has a very friendly maneger and if you go there don't hasitate to change the menue to your taste because they are flixable to . Their soups and desserts are uinque and you cannot find like that in Seattle. Their price are not expensive and it is really affordable for the students who want to try the Middle Eastern foods in the University district. read more

If you want to try the Middel Eastern and Iranian foods, Perspolis Grill is the best place in Seattle. Their Iranian grill are amazing and delicious and then you pay less than same Middel Eastern resturants anywhere else. I went to several Iranian resturants in the West coast and Vancouver but among those, Perspolis's Lamb Shank is the best one I have ever had. Perspolis Grill has a very kind maneger and good staff and their hospitality is unique. It is close to the Univirsity of Washington campous and their prices are really payable. read more

Amazing Persian restaurant. It's hard to find a place on the ave with atmosphere but this place delivers. Great prices (especially for kabob koobideh.) Really friendly service as well. Highly recommended. read more

Words can't describe how much I love this place!!!! Whenever my Persian friend can, I make her take me here! I starve myself purposefully to be able to eat one of each thing I love (which is everything I've tried so far)! All of their meats are always seasoned well and juicy. Make sure to get one of the yoghurt sauces to dip your kebabs in and don't miss out on the cheese plate! After you are totally stuffed, make sure to get a black tea with sugar cubes. The service there is always amazing and it's a family like feel. Next time I might date to go by myself, since I don't think I can wait for my friend to join me any longer read more

The food is around average (based on Seattle's standards), below average if you want to measure it against California's metrics. Service is SUPER SLOW....at least a 30 minutes wait to get your main course; several appetizers are also being microwaved (which is an awful practice for a restaurant) Restrooms are not clean either~~~ Sorry, but this place is getting out of business soon! read more

This place is fantastic. Family owned operated restaurant is the best. Staff members are so kind. Their homemade ice cream was so good!

One of the best experiences I had for Persian food at this place. Not only the quality of food was great, but the service was awesome and super friendly. I'll definitely come back here again. We ordered Vaziri, Soltani and Bakhtiari foods and the quality of them were great!!! read more

The new owners of this restaurant are a hard working and honest people who, in my opinion, got shorted during the ownership transfer. They are new to the U.S. and the Seattle area and are still finding their way around town looking for suppliers and new staff which were withheld from them. They've done a reasonably good job of revamping the atmosphere. Nothing fancy but much better flooring than the filthy carpeting before. The outside planters welcome the guests with colorful flowers - a sign of respect for their customers. I've eaten their food at least 15 times since they took ownership of the place and I find them an asset to Persian food lovers and I encourage everyone to support them until they get it right - which I know they are striving for it. Customer service is very weak to the point of non-existent but I give them 5 stars only to make up for some of the unfair, ignorant and arrogant comments posted previously. I am only affiliated with them as a happy customer! read more

This is the best restaurant in Seattle area I have seen for grilled food. Amazing taste!!! I usually order the lamb rack with kobeedah or the King's choice when I'm really hungry. They have also a good selection of Mediterranean appetizers. It is a family owned restaurant which might explain their high quality service and food, they are always very hospitable and friendly. read more

Delicious food, warm owners and calm ambience for a relaxed conversation. I love coming here with my friends on days when we have the time for a longer lunch/dinner. If you like Persian tea as much as I do, then unlimited refills on tea is a perk too. I'm vegetarian and my favorites are the Loobia Polo and Khoresht Bamieh. In the starters section , I like their Khash--bademjan and Dolmeh. Desserts are great too - love their Faloodeh. And oh, on a warm day, do try their Doogh! read more

Authentic Persian food with friendly staff. Clean restaurant with table and chair seating. Nice music playing too. They have a banquet room in the back too. I had the Nazri kabobs. Beef and a chicken kabob with saffron rice, roasted tomato. I love to use the somagg spice on the food. It comes with lavash bread, fresh herbs, fresh onion, butter, and radishes! Yummy! So much food, I had left-overs. My friend who's a chef from NZ said he's never had Persian food in all of his 49 years! He said it's quite a treat, and so delicious too! We'll come back again! read more

Fast and friendly service, DELICIOUS food, good price. We ordered two appetizers and two plates and were happily stuffed (without feeling like we'd fall into a food coma). I'm not an expert on this cuisine but I left very very happy! read more

Persepolis Grill - These days everyone has become Persepolis. How about you? - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Service was good, nothing special about it. Hummus was phenomenal. Would go back just to get a five gallon tub all to myself! If you're looking for a great Mediterranean style place but are sick of falafel this is the place for you. I would definitely go back. read more

Went here for a birthday this past weekend and hands down, this was the worst service I have ever experienced. Service is definitely 1-2 stars but the food was decent which is why I'm giving it 3. I have never experienced during dining, 30 minutes to get your drink. I explained to them I wanted vodka and sprite, they show under well drinks a blueberry vodka. The waiter clearly didn't understand us when we told him 3 times what I wanted and he brought (30 minutes later) a can of sprite and a blueberry drink in a bottle. In addition the decor is quite off, Persian pictures and then Italian cafe pictures. The portions are HUGE so it is definitely good value. I got the shashlik which is typically chunks of lamb on a skewer. This was thinly sliced rack of lamb that was so overcooked it was actually crunchy. It was terrible. I tried the chicken skewer which was very moist and very tasty. Had a much more pleasant dining experience at Caspian Grill (their sister restaurant I hear). So I would choose them first in a heart beat! read more

Service and food was good ... pretty pricey for 2 kabobs and rice and salad ($15) but good portion for the price ... didn't like my mango juice it was way too thick not juice but more tasted Like concentrated ... may try again if I'm in the area read more

I grew up eating Persian food and I am so happy to get to still eat it (without cooking it myself) at Persepolis. We have eaten inside the restaurant and found the staff frequently and accommodating. We just ordered take out for a birthday party and it was a hit - food traveled well, tasted amazing, and allowed us to have many different items to fit everyone's tastes, including vegetarians and meat eaters. read more

Excellent food!!! Amazing service, family owned and operated, authentic Greek, everything is made from scratch, owner was very a tentative and gave great recommendations. Highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a great unique meal and affordable establishment. Thank you so much!!!! read more

----------updated review----------- We've been there a few more times and we got really disappointed with the service and the food quality. Once, we waited 30 minutes for someone to bring us the menu. Another time, we were seated next to a big party with a lot of LOUD women laughing right into my ears. Plus, I never felt welcome here. I understand it's a family restaurant and I don't expect 5 star service here. However, I at least expect to see a few smiles so I have good mood to enjoy the food. Plus, 5 bucks for a piece of cheese to come with the complimentary price sounds a little bit too much for me. ----------original review------------ Food was very good. Husband is a Persian and he said the food was authentic. Definitely not as authentic as the Persian food we had in Atlanta before we moved to Seattle, but I think it's the best you can get in Seattle. We would come again for sure. My only complain: the server only spoke Farsi with my husband the whole time, so I felt pretty much ignored. read more

Best Mediterranean food in Seattle by far! Everything we ate was delicious, and the service was very friendly. Food took a little while to come out however it is definitely worth it to eat their amazing kabobs! Highly recommend for anybody in the Seattle area looking for good Mediterranean food! read more

I ate here the day after I moved to Seattle and it has definitely set the bar high for other restaurants. I ordered the Mirza Ghasemi appetizer, the Vaziri entree, and the saffron ice cream. The appetizer was flavorful and paired nicely with the bread. The Vaziri was so incredible I can hardly put it into words. The koobideh was seasoned perfectly and was savory, flavorful, and juicy. The chicken was cooked to perfection, and required no knife to be cut easily. The flavor was one of the best I've had in my life. Paired with the rice, half salad, and tomato, I could not get enough of the large portions they provided, well worth the price of the food. The ice cream was delicious, unlike anything I've ever tasted before, but delicious. It was a light, almost floral ice cream that cleansed my palate after the meal. Will be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

I recently had dinner at Persepolis Grill with my daughter. I had a lamb dish and she had an eggplant entree. We were both delighted with our choices. I highly recommend taking a look and the menu and giving it a try. I think you will be pleased with whatever you order. The service was excellent, as well. And the portions were so generous, we had food to take home to continue enjoying the next day. read more

We had a group of four and had never tried Persian food. We tried the King's Choice collection of chicken, beef and lamb skewers and agreed that the chicken skewers were our favorite as they were juicy and amazing. We also tried the Roasted Eggplant and it was good, but not amazing. The Tadig + stew was yummy and the crispy rice interesting. For dessert we tried the Faloodeh, vermicelli noodles in rose water and we felt like this wasn't a dish we would suggest. But the Baklava was yum! So, outstanding service (they were so sweet!), really amazing meat and rice dishes and some great experiences with different things. read more

I will start my review by saying the management changed. I went there in 2015 and it was a lovely place (lovely food and nice décor) but it smelled like rotten food, it was HORRIBLE and hard to enjoy the food with such a smell. I stayed away from it until I visited again in June of 2019 and I met the new owner who was nice enough to change our table even though it was Ramadan (where all the Muslim customers will come in at the same time) because he was remodeling the inside room and it was just a plain white wall. I had asked him (not knowing he is the owner) to switch tables because the area was depressing, he smiled and led us to the well-lit outside area. He checked on me later and asked if I was feeling better. The food was top notch and the prices were high average (compared to other middle-eastern restaurants) which is fine given the portion size. I will definitely visit again! read more

The lamb rack rocks. This is our fourth time been here and always order lamb rack as first choice. I highly recommend this place. read more

Persepolis Grill - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The stews here are so good (had the okra stew with beef) and the proprietors are nice. They hosted a meetup for us that was super great. Someone else was complaining about the rice being bland, but honestly unless you're eating the rice by itself it doesn't really matter -- the stews etc. are seasoned enough on their own. Also, there aren't a ton of persian options around Seattle. So this place gets a 5/5 for me. read more

The owner of this place changed. Management is terrible. I was wait for my dinner tonight from 7 pm until 8:30pm Don't try it any more. read more

Freaking delicious Persian food in a family-owned restaurant. The Koobideh (beef skewers) are tender and perfectly seasoned. I highly recommend ordering it with half/half rice/salad as the side. Such a tasty combo! I really enjoyed mixing and matching the different flavors. I so enjoyed my first time here that I immediately went back for dinner again the very next night. The saffron ice cream also makes for a great ending to the meal. Jet City Improv is just across the street, so I recommend doing both for a fun evening out! read more

The shirazi salad was great. The chicken kebab was great. However, the ground beef kebab was terrible. Either it was too fatty, or they mixed something they shouldn't, but it just went to the garbage. Even the kids noticed something wasnt right with it. Yeah, it's a somewhat cheap place to get persian food, but what's the point if you cannot eat it? read more

Amazing persian food, huge quantities, full of flavor with great prices. Food so tasty and made with love. We are from California and we thought this place was awesome! ! The Soltani koobideh and mast moosir was amazing! ! read more

One of the best Persian cuisine in Seattle, you may try the combination portions of chicken and lamb kaboidah

Persepolis Grill is one of Seattle's few purely Persian restaurants. Years ago this location was Caspian Grill, which was a staple experience of my childhood, but sometime in the last decade the brothers who ran Caspian moved their restaurant to Bellevue and sold this location to another owner who produced an inferior product and after a few visits, I stopped coming here altogether. Persepolis is now under new management, and when my brother suggested we come here for dinner, I was initially doubtful as to how good it would be. To my surprise, I was blown away. Not only are the menu prices very reasonable for a Persian restaurant (others oftentimes charge $30+ for a plate of kabob), the quality of the food was outstanding. I ordered my usual Soltani Kabob (mix of a ground beef skewer and a steak skewer with half rice and salad), and from the first bite I was thoroughly impressed. Not only was the meat cooked to perfection, the seasoning was divine. The subtle taste of onion, turmeric and saffron really added to the flavor of the high quality, juicy beef. The rice (which like Sushi oftentimes defines the Persian food experience) was fluffy and not overly buttered. The service was also excellent - I felt like I was eating at the home of a relative, sans the obtrusive force-feeding and gossip that is rampant in Persian culture. I think Persepolis is now the Seattle area's best bet for Persian food, short of my grandma's house. Don't pass on this gem. read more

My family and I come here all the time and always get great food. Takeout here is a great option too!

The food was okay!! They have big portion, so two ppl can share. The only thing I didn't like is the service. At the beginning the waiter took too long to come to the table so we can order, also when we wanted the check. read more

Love this place - especially the eggplant dishes. Food has a Mediterranean flair. Customer service is great.

Worst food ever! If I could give zero star I would! Terrible quality food, taste really bad! We couldn't finish our food and we feel sick! Don't go there or you will get sick! Good reviews are probably from relatives or friends! read more

Great Persian food coming from an Iranian woman. The ambiance is great, you feel transformed back to Iran. Music is great. Friendly staff. Homemade Doogh. Koobideh kabob was delicious. Have to go back for khoorosh! read more

~Halal food~Beautiful food!! My husband and I were craving Lebanese food but couldn't find anything that wasn't a kebab/shawarma style!! We settle on Persian and so happy with the food here alhamdulilah beautiful! The butenjan/laben (eggplant and yogurt) starter was delicious! For mains we had the lamb rack and pomegranate chicken were equally good! Definitely recommend this place as it had great food, service and prices were very reasonable read more
