The kebabs are great! They are not on skewers when served which makes them easier to eat. Servings of basmati rice have grated chedder cheese on top and are ample servings. All very good!

When it comes to Persian cuisine, I typically order the koobedeh platter. However, we also ordered the chicken shish kabob, and that one really stole the show for me. I was amazed at how moist and flavorful the chicken was! Between the rice, the cucumber yogurt, the shirazi salad, and both proteins, this was a very delicious meal. I'm so glad that we decided to try this for our early Valentine's Day celebration.

We love Maydoon and dine here at least twice a month. It's not cheap, but it has great value. Large portions of quality food. Can't ask for more. My goto is the Chicken Solatani. Let me know what you think?
