I ordered takeout from Persepolis and had the Koobide Kebab with the Nargesi appetizer.
The food was very well packaged and beautifully presented for takeout. The Nargesi appetizer was amazing—rich, flavorful, and perfect with warm pita bread.
For the main dish, the Koobide Kebab was excellent. The rice, meat, and salad were all delicious and well balanced. The meal felt light enough that you don’t feel weighed down, yet the portions were generous enough...

Very authentic Persian experience. Food was savoury with strong Iranian flavours. The rice was exceptional. The rose water was divine. And the lamb meatballs with walnut/molasses sauce was extraordinary.

A truly delicious experience at Persepolis Persian Restaurant. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste good, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. A must-visit indeed 💯
