Backyard (Persian BBQ & Grill)

Service was phenomenal. I got there early for my takeout order and sat down and they immediately brought me a water and let me know it would be out shortly. The food was just as good. Some of the best beef kebabs in my life, chicken wasn’t quite as good but was still great. Highly recommend trying it out.

What an amazing experience. Backyard has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants anywhere across the country. World class owner and waitstaff, not to mention the food is phenomenal. It's worth traveling to Grand Rapids just for the Soltani! Thank you for your kindness and amazing food.

What a lovely dining experience! The food was fresh, and so generously portioned! Delicious flavors. We enjoyed our kabobs and the saffron rice; one of our party got the chicken sandwich wrap which was out-of-this-world delicious! The lentil tomato soup was also lovely— warm flavors and a big bowl to enjoy. The bread and the dipping sauce (cucumber??) before the meal was also wonderful— we devoured every last bit. Yum!!! My favorite personally was the baklava, which was delicate, flaky, packed with filling and perfectly balanced. No gooey, syrupy baklava here— just perfection. I cant wait to order a chicken sandwich and piece of baklava again soon! (Ooh, and we had PLENTY to take home— bring your appetite). Gorgeous atmosphere and a really kind, hospitable staff — from the owner to our server, everyone made us feel right at home. It was most enjoyable and a great evening out!

Vegetarian options: The salads (Shirazi Salad!!!) are great!

We had the lentil soup, viziri plate with torshi and Baklava. I suggest you not order the meats without the torshi. Excellent food, the owner came to our table to tell us how to mix a eat with the torshi. It was a wonderful experience.
