The Persian Grille

I had a small dinner party for two families here. The food was amazing and the service/staff was great to handle all of our orders. The food and meat is very high quality and tasty!

I recently visited The Persian Grille and was thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with beautiful Persian décor and soft music that set the perfect mood for the dining. The staff was exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our meal.
We started with the appetizer sampler. Each item was bursting with authentic flavors and served with warm, fluffy Persian bread that was simply irresistible.
For the main course, we ordered the chicken and lamb shish kabob. Both dishes were cooked to perfection—the lamb was tender and juicy, and the chicken was flavorful and moist.
The saffron rice that accompanied our meals was aromatic and complemented the meats beautifully.
The portions were generous, and the presentation was elegant.
To finish off the meal, we shared a cup of Persian tea.

Overall, The Persian Grille exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of delicious food, excellent service, and a cozy ambiance makes it a good choice for anyone craving authentic Persian cuisine.

I always get the lentil soup. It is delish. I've had a lamb dish too.

Delicious food, good service

We got the lamb kebab koubideh , house salad, tahdig with khoresht. The food was great. Definitely try the dough

We’ve tried this restaurant a few times. The food has mostly been fine. On this particular order, we got ghormeh sabzi with tahdig, which I really wouldn’t recommend — it had a very strange, overly cardamom-heavy flavor that didn’t taste familiar at all.

The service has never been great, but we’ve overlooked it since there aren’t many Persian restaurants around, and we’ve generally been happy just to enjoy Persian food. That said, I’m leaving this review because of the poor service we received this time.

In the past, we’ve experienced a few mix-ups or wrong orders, but we didn’t complain. This time, I had ordered fesenjoon to go, and as planned, they brought it after we finished our meal. When we looked at the receipt, though, it said “vegetarian fesenjoon,” so we told them. They apologized, and we waited another 40 minutes for what was supposed to be the correct dish.

I still wasn’t going to leave a review — mistakes happen, especially in small businesses. But later at home, when I went to eat the food, I discovered they had again given me vegetarian fesenjoon! After all that waiting, we still didn’t get what we ordered.

Really disappointing experience this time.

We loved the food! We ordered the royal kabab, which included both chenjeh and kubideh. Both were tender and juicy. The shirin polo was good as well, with a strong orange zest flavor. For an appetizer, we had kashk bademjoon, which was quite satisfying, though (I wish they had served it with Persian bread instead of pita.) We also ordered Akbarmashti ice cream, which was rich with saffron and just the right amount of sugar. Overall, I would recommend this place.

We enjoyed the food and hospitality was excellent .

We came to Philadelphia for a short vacation and looked for a Persian restaurant. This place was a great choice. Amazing food and service

Everything was great. Both food and service was amazing. ❤️ this place

The service was good but the food was not. We love Persian food but this was not good at all. The Shirin Polo was horrible and the grill Kubideh was just bad. Also it was overpriced for what we got.

They have the best kabab in the area.

OM Persian Goddess!!! Being married to the most wonderful Persian American man for nearly 40 years, loving all things Persian, especially the FOOD and language, I can confidently confirm that the Persian Grill
Is among those at the top, the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT)! The Kabob Kubideh was succulent and moist, the Jujeh Kabob delicious and perfectly marinated in
Lemony Goodness. The Kaskeh Bademjoon was delicately balanced between smoky roasted ness and spices, the Mast-O-Moosheer awesomely sour but needing a little more Moosheer and full fat yoghurt for my taste. Only thing missing was fresh tanour baked lavash or Barbary bread. Afareen! Bareykalay! Kheiley Mammon! You take the rolette (cake)! You are worth the drive!!!

Staff wasn't very friendly. Didn't come back and check on us..just dropped food off. Food was ok. Pricey.
