Charmy’s Persian Taste

Five stars!! Great selection of unique products and a great lunch at the hot bar and salad bar!

As a Persian living in Texas, I make it a point to seek out Persian restaurants whenever I travel, and I’ve dined at some of the most renowned spots in California. I rarely write reviews, but my experience at Charmy’s was truly exceptional.

From the moment I walked in, the service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and genuinely accommodating. I had a special request for an add-on, and the staff handled it effortlessly.

I ordered the mixed kebab platter, which included a skewer of beef skirt, a skewer of ground lamb koobideh, and a skewer of chicken shish kebab. The value was remarkable—far better than what I’ve seen at similar restaurants across the country. But what really stood out was the flavor. Every bite was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and absolutely delicious. Honestly, this is the best Persian food I’ve had in the US. Each kebab had its own unique character, and the quality was consistent throughout the meal.

It’s a little bittersweet that I’m leaving Columbus tomorrow, because I would have loved to come back for more. But I know that if I ever return to this city, Charmy’s will be my first stop. Thank you to the entire team for such an unforgettable meal!

I shop at Charmy’s daily. The product selection is magnificent and the staff friendly and helpful. Please shop here. We need to keep this wonderful place in our neighborhood.

Charmy's is very good restaurant.
The food is very good. The food here is Persian which is Iranian which is totally different but kind of similar to Arabic food.

If you're looking for food with more flavor, more flair, fresh and interesting spice an exotic fruity tastes, definitely you need to come here.

They have a buffet till 2:30 in the afternoon Monday through Saturday for 11.99 a pound that's just awesome deal because you get to choose what you want try different things.

Food quality was great but prices were a little too high. Also it did not provide a restaurant feeling as it was inside a food court.

I just needed a coconut water. I was sad to see it be bought out...not fond of the name. But happy it's still there cause it's the only place near work without having to drive.

The grilled meat has a perfect char and it’s tender, the saffron-infused rice is vibrant and perfect. Plus, the yogurt drink is a solid pairing to balance out the flavors.

Excellent food and person at the place, i was traveling and stopped their before closing hours, the food was freshly cooked, the place is inside the market so we can roam around when the food is getting prepared.
