Persian Room Fine Dining Review After a challenging few days, I decided to treat myself to a meal at the Persian Room, a restaurant that had been on my mind. I arrived around 3:00 PM, just after the lunch rush, so the place was relatively quiet. Upon entering, I was greeted warmly by the server, who kindly escorted me to my table. I opted for a chicken dish accompanied by a skewer of grilled onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. When my food arrived, my hunger was palpable. The chicken was delightful, but I found myself particularly enamored with the grilled vegetables, which were bursting with flavor. Overall, my experience was fantastic, and I look forward to returning for another delicious meal. read more

Our server Tony was fantastic! We started with breas, onions and greens. Loved that those are complimentary. We then enjoyed Torshi and lunch Ghormeh Sabzi with Shirazi salad and Nadero kebab combo platter! All delicious! Best service I've had there yet! And loved my carbonated yogurt soda with a side of lemon juice! read more

Here I am one month later giving Persian room another chance, shame on me. Tonight my entire order was wrong again. For the first time, I actually called to address it. The manager brushed me off on the phone and told me they would have the missing items ready for pickup. When I arrived, the "fix" was a single skewer of koobideh. A SINGLE SKEWER!!! At that point I didn't bother going back inside to argue because I had guests waiting at home and it was honestly embarrassing. It's frustrating because I used to recommend this place and order from here frequently but the constant mistakes, lack of accountability, and dismissive response from management have made it clear that customer experience just isn't a priority. The food may be good, but the inconsistency and service issues have finally made this my last visit! read more

The Persian Room is a huge, elegant two-story restaurant offering up some juicy meat kabobs and ginormous platters of rice. Its beautifully decorated inside, and it definitely gave off warm, welcoming vines. No belly dancers unfortunately, LOL. Our first impressions were not the best. Despite the huge restaurant, the parking lot here and the adjacent one on Black Bear Diner fills up fast. We wound up using pay parking in the Courtyard Marriott next door. The second issue were front-of-house issues - we didn't get seated until like 30-minutes past our reservation. The excellent food and service did make up for everything. I recommend starting off with a White Sangria and then getting Chicken Thigh kabobs. Super juicy, well seasoned, just perfect. I was a bit surprised to see halibut here - decent but slightly dry so stick to chicken thighs for Persian. Rice was fluffy and plentiful - easily covering 2-3 people. Both the classic saffron basmati and barberry (Zareshk Polo) varieties were good. read more

Beautiful high end restaurant with traditional Persian cuisine. The service was top notch and not intrusive to conversation among guests. The portions were generous and tasted truly authentic. If you love trying new food and looking for an elegant experience, and don't mind spending a little more then this is a great place for you. read more

I've been to this restaurant quite few times in the past and it is always fun and has great atmosphere. The food is really great and served with mountains of aromatic rice. Very large colorful presentations. The food portions are massive, which is excellent for family and friends. Always great for a date night or meals with lots of family. One of my most favorite meals on their menu is the Lamb Shank. Which is fall of the bone tender and comes with a healthy portion of rice. I order this along with their hummus and lavash bread is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine especially with the raw sweet onions and basil. I brought my family here and truly enjoyed the food and the experience. For dessert I had there very light yet delicious and decadent pistachio cake. Truly a really great experience. Our waiter was excellent, charming yet professional. I will certainly be returning here again soon read more

The decor in the building hasn't changed in the 20 plus years I've been going there but for the kind of restaurant it is my guess is it looks pretty timeless. The service is always top notch and the food has never been anything other than excellent. Their chicken is always juicy and seasoned perfectly. The filet barg is always tender and juicy while the Koobideh is flavorful and the right texture. And my favorite is the loobia rice. I can't say I've ever had a bad meal and there are always leftovers to take home because you get so much food. I do have a couple complaints. $4.50 for a tea or soda is pretty excessive. And the dinner prices are almost double the price of the same meal at lunch so my advice is go for lunch and have your leftovers for dinner. read more

I am finally dining in at the infamous Persian Room. The hostess Ana is so welcoming and a wonderful start to this experience. I arrived early and before my guests. It didn't take long to be seated and I didn't have to wait for our reservation time. After an early and long round trip drive, I started with coffee. The mug is not small at all. Tony is our server. He was constantly checking in while we were waiting for our 4th guest. The food is delicious. We started with Hummus. It goes so well with the bread that I didn't realize was brought out. After Tony described the Zereshk, I ordered the lunch portion. It was too much and I enjoyed the second half for dinner. It comes with half rice and half salad and quarter chicken. Another guest order the same meal as me but in the regular size that's certainly for 2 people which is double rice and half a chicken. The third guest ordered Chicken Kebab and the fourth ordered Koobideh (Ground Beef Kebab). We all left with take out with no room for delicious looking dessert. The restroom is clean. (If you've seen my reviews, you know. The owner was on site so we were able to chat with him. It was a very good afternoon! read more

Persian Room, another institution. Came for lunch right at opening time. The dining room is grand, with big pillars, comfy booths and enough table space to accommodate families and/or any special occasion. Server was as seasoned and very welcoming as it gets! My chicken shish were thick chunks of boneless chicken marinated, with bell peppers, onions & tomatos, as well as basmati rice that took up 1/2 of my plate. Hummus is a must as an appetizer. Love coming here and can't wait to come back! read more

I'm so disappointed. This has been my favorite restaurant for a long time but something has changed. I was here with my kids yesterday and the food was awful. On top of that even the Sprite was undrinkable . And to compound matters, they were vacuuming around us while we were eating. We won't be back again. So sad! read more

One of my favorite places right here. Food is always delicious. You get a decent amount, but you def pay the price for it. Beautiful sit down restaurant. Plenty of seating. Fresh bread when you eat in. Service top notch. As long as you are prepared for the prices, the food is worth it. read more

Persian room has been a staple for 30 years. Having heard rave reviews from Yelp friends and personal recommendations by two of my neighbors, this visit was long overdue. I made reservations weeks in advance and was able to sit in the upstairs dining area. The deluxe or formal interior is starting to show its age but still made a nice impression on me. Our server, Clinton, was knowledgeable and detailed in explaining the rice, salad and kabob options with the rack of lamb $43.95 Instead of just the rice, you can upgrade to half rice and half salad for $5.00. (Just stick with the baghala rice that is the standard for this entree. It was the perfect pairing and the Greek salad was not worth the up charge in my opinion. My husband ordered the vegetable kabobs $18.95 and upgraded from the basmati rice to the zereshk rice for $5.00. He enjoyed it. The barberries and saffron combination was unique. I liked the baghala much better though. There are seven varieties of rice to choose from so something for every palate. As it got busier and Clinton didn't ask what we thought of our entrees but that was okay. The star of the meal however was the hummus appetizer! I think it had the best balance of beans, garlic, lemon, Olive oil, and tahini. $11.95 It tasted sooooo smooth and dreamy. I mean creamy! We enjoyed it with the lavash bread. I watched this thin in house made bread being rolled out, scored and baked in the rotating oven. So soft yet simple it was perfect with their homemade hummus. I would definitely order this again! Another bonus was the generous pour I received for my glass of Merlot. No skimping here. :) The entree portions were generous and we had leftovers. No room for dessert this time. Tip: if you choose to pay by credit card, there is an additional 3% charge. On my future visit, I'm planning to order the beef shish kabob, try the Turkish coffee and of course dive into that amazing hummus again! read more

4 stars - Good We went here while visiting family in Scottsdale, AZ. The building does not look like much from the outside, but the restaurant is beautiful inside. It is a little crowded with tables, but the staff makes it work. The staff were very attentive to our needs and friendly. Overall, our food was great. I had never been to a Persian restaurant before, so I tried several new dishes. I enjoyed all of the food, but I preferred the lamb over the halibut. One of the members of our party got the lamb shanks, and that was delicious. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of that dish. The cake was also good. My one critique of the food is that the restaurant serves way too much rice. I eat a lot of food, and I could not even put a dent in the rice that came with my meal. Because the servings of meat are smaller, you have a lot of leftover rice, which a lot of people in our party did not take with them. I think this is pretty wasteful, and they could cut back on the rice. Other than that, I enjoyed this restaurant. I would go again when I am back in town. read more

This restaurant is right next to our hotel, so I walked here for lunch. I'd heard from my uber driver that it was really good. They brought out a basket of warm white pita bread and butter to the table. I ordered the chicken shish kebab with half basmati rice and half Greek salad. The food was good. Nothing incredible, but good. It's a very big platter. On the weekdays they have a lunch special, so it would have been $17, but since I went in a Sunday, it was $25. To add the Greek salad was an additional $4.25. There was a sauce on the side. I think it was yogurt sauce. The salad didn't have any dressing in it. The service was great until I needed the check. By that time it had become very busy and I could not get my waiter's attention. Eventually I asked a busser to get the check for me. The atmosphere is nice, if not a little outdated. There are a lot of beautiful Persian pairing, tapestries and carvings. It is child-friendly, as there were a lot of families dining there. There's plenty of parking. I would eat here again. My bill was $32.60 before tip. I had water to drink. read more

This is my first time at the Persian room restaurant. It was chosen by my business networking partners. Don't let the outside appearance of his restaurant for you. When you enter you will see the stairs that lead to an upstairs dining area, the at ground level it is a rather large but segregated dining area. Somewhat classy. Our server Victor, who also goes by the name Oscar was very gracious and helped explain some of their specialties for the evening. Our group was six people, and they were many questions. I tried to take as many pictures as I could, however, this was a business dinner and it was a bit difficult. I hope, however that my pictures will help me decide you may want to try when you get to this restaurant. Overall, the food was tasty and was brought out to us promptly. We ordered the chef specialist number one and number two. The meats were all prepared in seasoned good care.seasoned to the level that everyone in the party enjoyed. read more

We asked for a chiken dish that showed the picture of a roaste d chicken with rice. When they brought the chicken it was boiled with a kind of tomatoe sauce on top. I even told the waitress about it and how bad the taste. and the kabab it looked that it was boiled then put in the oven. Also they didnt accept my Groupon coupon. Saying it is not vallid for mother day. I read all the instruction on the coupan there was no place saying that I can't use on special occassion. Our server james was very nice. read more

This is one of those places that I've always wanted to try for the longest time but never got around to until recently. Upon walking in, we were greeted warmly and seated immediately. From start to finish, service was superb. Our server was warm, friendly, and didn't make us feel like we were rushed at any time during our time here. After looking over the menu, we decided to order the hummus appetizer to share. It was refreshingly light, and had the right amount of consistency hummus should have. The flavor wasn't overly strong or salty. For our main entrees, we decided to get the lunch halibut and the lunch lamb shanks with sabzi polo as a substitution. The halibut was my friend's entrée, but she let me try a bite and I was pleasantly surprised by it. Usually, fish is a hit or a miss for me but the texture wasn't bad and it didn't taste fishy at all! Now for the lamb shanks, they were delicious, very tender, easily fell off the bone and nowhere close to being dry. My only minor issue with my entrée was that there wasn't enough rice to go with the meat. Overall, the portion sizes were generous and adequate for the prices. There were plenty of leftovers for another meal or two. The interior is more spacious than you'd think. They have plenty of seating options for small or large parties and they even have an upstairs. The décor is classically stylish, but you can tell it is also a bit dated by how worn out some of the furniture is. read more

Persian Room - Looks pretty! Tastes pretty bland - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

The Persian Room was on my list of restaurants to taste Persian cuisine. The decor was elegant which set my expectations high. Service was extremely slow during lunch. So slow another server in a different section noticed us sitting at our table for 15 mins and ended up taking our order. We ordered a few items to taste. The Lamb Shank was on the gamey side; lacking spices.I was expecting fresh herbs not dried parsley. Cutting corners in a fine dining establishment will taste noticeably different The dolmas were wonderful. The winner for me was the Filet Mignon rice. Flavorful, Moist, Delicious Money is no option to me when it comes to food. I will drive up to 2 hours for a good meal when I hear about a restaurant. What does matter is quality, consistency and a Chef with passion. read more

Having been lucky enough to travel to the Gulf countries, although not Persia, I am in love with the sights and flavors of the region. Walking into Persian Room feels like being transported there. After every visit we start talking about our next return trip. If you're intimidated because you don't know this kind of food, don't be. The staff is always friendly and more than happy to explain the dishes and flavors. They enjoy sharing their culture and giving visitors an easy and enjoyable experience. I suggest you round up a group of 6 or 8 friends who are tired of "same old" and are willing to get out of their comfort zone. Head to Persian Room, and order one of the appetizer platters and an entree platter. Toss in a couple of sides on your waiter's recommendation (not that you need them but so you can try more things) plus a bottle or 3 of wine, and it's a party! Leave your phones in the car, eat slowly and Imagine you're dining in a sultan's home in a far away land. It's not like eating at a typical American restaurant, but isn't that the point?!?!?! PS. Save room for a dessert and the strong coffee or tea! read more

I've been here a few times. The experience can be a bit inconsistent -- sometimes it's really good, sometimes just okay. I've noticed dinner quality tends to be better than lunch. When the food is on point, it's very enjoyable. Hoping for more consistency. read more

What a lovely place! We love all types of ethnic foods, especially because I'm vegetarian and my husband is not. Ethnic foods often have way more to offer than any American place. This was my first time here, but came highly recommended by friends. It didn't disappoint! It was ornate inside, well-staffed, and packed. It was Mother's Day but we had a reservation for lunch and loved it all. Ordered a veggie kebab and the rice with tomato and veggies, hummus, and pasta with salad and meat sauce along with my husband's lamb, chicken, and rice meal. My daughter just shared. Left with enough for dinner. Tasty and they had sumac on the table. Another major win. Would happily return. read more

My first time here. Love the decor of the restaurant I have driven past this restaurant for years and finally I was invited to meet some long time dear friends for dinner.

I love the Persian room, we have been here multiple times and it is always delicious. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The hummus is absolutely amazing. One of the best hummus I have ever had. The decor is nice but it can be a little dim. The restrooms are clean and overall the experience is always great, they can accommodate large groups or small. The chicken is flavored perfectly and the rice is so good. The steak is also very nicely cooked. Highly recommend this place read more

Classy upscale ambiance and service! The food is FANTASTIC . We've been going there for years!

To start with, the Persian Room offers huge platters of delicious food. So large are the portions, that you're definitely bringing home leftovers! You'll be seated in a large, ornately decorated dining room. The Persian Room is a busy place for sure, however, we didn't feel cramped, or rushed while dining. I highly recommend The Persian Room the next time you're in Scottsdale. I know I'll be back again.

With that said, I highly recommend this business and highly recommend that people visit this business. read more

I enjoyed the pita/bread that came on the table a few minutes after we sat down, although it was not outstanding. I ordered the beef gyro, and it was alright. The rice was pretty oily. It compares pretty equally to a lot of the other Mediterranean restaurants I've been to, but because it's so much more expensive, I will not be coming back. read more
