Royal Kebab Persian Cuisine Reviews
Amazing food - best Persian-style cuisine in STL so far and some of the best anywhere we've traveled. Saffron chicken kebab was beyond tender and so flavorful. Their version of biryani was delicious, too, and the gyro was solid. The sambosas were a great starter, and even the fries that came with the gyro were good. We'll be back to try more dishes soon!
A buddy and I stopped by on a whim looking for a bite to eat, and we had a great time. The owner was very kind and hospitable, and the portion sizes were enough to keep two big guys fed with leftovers. Don't forget to try the baklava, we barely had enough room after our meal but best believe we managed.
This place is great. It's a small shop so you need to buy your drink when you order. The food is most simply put fantastic. Glad I found this place while visiting Saint Louis.

Royal Kebab Persian Cuisine in STL offers a homely feel with a simple and easy-to-understand menu. The kobideh kabab and chicken kabab are tender and succulent, cooked to perfection. The food is outstanding, with flavors so delicious that each bite feels like the first, leaving a memorable impression. Parvez, the chef, pours genuine love into the dishes, making the experience even more special. Despite a limited menu, the restaurant provides excellent quality halal meat, which is a big plus for Islamic followers in St. Louis. Some customers mention that the lamb portion can be small and that the kobideh may be slightly undercooked, but the chicken kabab is highly praised. The lamb shank plate is also noted as very good, with meat that falls off like rib bones. The prices are reasonable for the generous portions, and many feel the food is worth the drive. Service is very hospitable, creating a welcoming atmosphere that feels like visiting close family members. While the dine-in experience may not be perfect and service can be slow and inattentive with young, untrained staff, the food itself makes up for it. For a quicker experience, takeout is recommended. Though lacking in ambiance and quick service, Royal Kebab is highly recommended for tasty Persian cuisine, with the qaboli rice upgrade on the kobideh plate highly suggested.
