Iranian Restaurants near Portland, OR

“The food was excellent and made to perfection! The staff were very inviting and so friendly. They treated us like we were family. An extremely pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“How I heard of this place: Visiting Portland, friends suggested Persian Kabab as the best in the city. It was out of the way last time, but we made it be on our way this time. Type of cuisine: Persian food in a Southwest food cart! Ambiance: It's a food cart, so less to write about, as it faces the street, along with about a dozen other carts serving Mediterranean, Mexican, Japanese and other meal options. The cart is pink with a sketched drawing of the proprietor, who looks just like the drawing! What I ordered: We selected a mixed combo (joojeh & Loo idea kababs) with rice and BBQ tomatoes (additional $1 each). The two meals were served in a foil container "to keep it hot" (a nice, thoughtful touch), with fresh basil, and spicy red onion on the side. What I loved: the joojeh (chicken breast) kabab was juicy, fresh and perfectly seasoned. The rice was flaky and lightly greasy, which we loved. BBQ tomatoes can't be missed! Why I loved it: Friendly proprietor, delicious food, and a pink-painted cart! Cost: Average“

“Great good - nice staff - reasonable prices!“

“Went here for the first time and the food was good! Had the chicken kabob and kobideh kabob and both were good. I gave them 4 stars because the lady was not very welcoming or nice at all. She sat there watching something on her phone and completely ignored us while we waited to order even when I said hello. The man was very nice and attentive.“

“Stopped by here at around 8:30pm on Christmas Day. We ended up going to an event that unfortunately didn't serve food & it was too late to cook so we drove around a bit on our way home to see if ANYTHING was open. So of course they were busy, being the only spot we could find on Christmas, but the food came out super quick, about 15 minutes. That's pretty fast with how busy they were & we watched him make our food to order. Smile on his face the entire time! Hard to find anyone working around the holidays looking cheerful but he definitely managed. Loved it. Really good gyro, no gross burnt bits. Usually gyro is so greasy I get sick, but not from Parseh. I'm usually not a fan of sumac on my food but there was just the right amount that it wasn't overpowering the other flavors. I just wish there was a little more yogurt sauce on the sandwich & salt on the fries. Wings were surprisingly delicious & the sauce wasn't just HOT, there was some flavor. It tasted good. Glad we checked this place out, we'll be back!“

“Although there used to be another Persian / Mediterreanian Restaurant in this location before, this is a newer establishment, under new ownership and management. We stopped here for lunch with a couple of friends on Friday at noon... right as they open. The place was empty with no other customers besides the three of us. This is a large restaurant with plenty of seating. They seem to have a large bar as well. We ordered three of the Persian specialty foods, typically served at restaurants... the Ground Beef Kabob, the Chicken Kabob and the Barg Kabob. All were served with fluffy Saffron covered Basmati rice, a grilled tomato and of course each was served the appropriate kabob. The quality and quantity of all the items were very good. The Kabobs were served hot and were flavorful. We will have to come back to try the rest of their menu items.“

“I love the food and it’s not just me after today because we was 12 people and everyone love the food so great food just go and try.“
