We were visiting Sacremento and happened to be in the neighborhood. We went for late lunch on 9/30/2024. We order two Koobedah combos and one lamb Shank. Everything was Halal and excellent with great service. Don’t forget to order black tea.

Famous Kabob is the Raffi's of Sacramento. The barg, koobideh, and jujee kabob were all excellent - perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The portion sizes were excellent. I enjoyed the complimentary sabzi, feta, and bread. The kashkebademjoon was okay. Will try the masomousir next time. The ice cream to share was excellent. Extremely friendly staff - you can tell there are a lot of returning customers who regularly dine here and I may become one of them. Definitely will come again and would highly recommend for good traditional Persian food.
The place is very outdated. Employees were polite and gave good service however food was not good at all. Koobideh felt like had residual water in it and outside was burnt. Koobide did not taste good at all. Chicken thigh was OK but the seasoning was not authentic chicken kabob seasoning. It had some kind of Afghan seasoning taste to it. The flat meat of soltani was sooo thin that I don't think it was on a skewers. Unfortunately will not return or recommend anyone to come here. lack of quality!

What makes this place five star besides the service is the wonderful flavor of their food. Their hummus is sublime ? and their koobideh is juicy & flavorful. The menu is varied but not too big with all the classics with wonderful portions. Superfresh ingredients. While it looks like a small restaurant from the outside it is actually quite large and can hold a good group size for a party.

Delicious Persian food. We dined at Famous Kabob several times. The Kabob Berg (grilled beef) and Kabob Bar-reh (lamb) are excellent. They come with fluffy basmati rice, which you can substitute with salad. The Cheloe Mahechi (lamb shank) and the Zereshk polo braised chicken are very good. They have excellent ice cream, unfortunately they didn't have last time we were there. The Baklava is not good. One of the servers (it seems he has been there a while) is not very polite, however another server came by and chatted with us. The decor can us a face lift. Best Persian cuisine in the area. Highly recommended.
Parking: Next to the restaurant.

I have been in this place before and I liked it but this time it was not a pleasant experience especially I was charged extra 18$ for a skewer and the waiter never mentioned that

The food is good but overpriced. I was charged extra 18$ for extra skewer and the most ironic part is that the waiter never mentioned anything about it

We ordered delivery from this place we like to try new exotic foods, first time trying it and the food was actually super good however I got a combo plate was very yummy but no sauces of like any kind I don’t know if I was supposed to select it but it unfortunately ruined the whole meal making it very very dry. I’m sure if I try this place again there sauces are yummy I just got none or I didn’t know to add them in addition to me meal? Also I got baklava for my desert payed $6 for only 3 bites. If they were bigger or like spend $10 get 4 bars would be cool.
Great atmosphere and treatment. Food is delicious. Left my credit card there and then mailed it to me and took such good care of my family. Will be back

I usually go here and had no problems but today I had a bad experience where in the menu it shows a price for one skewer versus 2 skewers but when the waiter brought the bill the surprise was that the cost of extra skewer was almost same as the cost of the plate, the waiter said it was for number of pieces which doesn't make sense. I hate to say but I am done going there.

I had the chicken bowl, it was dry and not much of taste. Do check with server what is halal on their menu. The decor is very old In restaurant and service is very slow and not that much friendly.
