Wow!!! Everything here was so delicious and staff was wonderful. We had a group of 7 and were seated immediately. Food came out quickly and everything was so flavorful. We ordered the Lambs feast and Kings choice and it was enough food for all of us. We also ordered the Borani, dolmeh, hummus, and Shiraz salads.

I was super impressed by the prices given the quality of the food. Their Koobideh kebab tastes just as good as my dad's! Everything I ate was delicious and amazing. Atmosphere was a bit dark and I was cold because I was seated right by the door and there was a breeze every time the door opened. Free street parking and I didn't have trouble finding parking on a weekday evening.

The portions are huge, but the quality of the food is mediocre. Some menu items actually don't suit my taste at all. I refuse to eat there again.

This is the most cheap and stingy restaurant I ever been to. The owner is fighting with the customers over a Somak tiny container that has about 5 grams of fake Somak (not even real Somak) . And when the customer said he will pay extra for it the owner acted as if he doesn't care about it. What a freaking cheap soul. Anyone who goes there has to bring his own salt , pepper and Somak too because there's a psychopath owner sitting there watching customers how much they use of these spices.

I'm pretty picky about Persian food, and I can say the food here is DELICIOUS! I've tried most things on the menu at this point and have never been disappointed. The meat they use is very good quality and always comes out tender and full of flavor. My personal favorite dishes are the Gheimeh and Ghormeh Sabzi, but you really can't go wrong with any of the menu items.. The owner and staff are nice and it's a great place to go with family or friends. I cannot recommend Persepolis enough!

Excellent food. Service was really good and place was busy. It is fantastic halal food and do not miss it.

wow.... the food actually blew my mind. my boyfriend and i shared the Vaziri Platter Lamb Rack and Shirazi Salad. at first it seemed like a lot of food but we somehow destroyed the whole platter. the chicken was a little dry but everything else was extremely delicious. the other meats were tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. the freshness and crunchy texture of the salad complimented the meats perfectly. i can't say anything about the atmosphere or service since my boyfriend ordered takeout but i cannot recommend their food enough.

Best arab food I've ever had, my go to is the lamb chops, and the saffron ice cream. We love that stuff, we have to get at least two bowls of ice cream every time we go.

Some of the best Persian food I've ever tasted! The portions are gigantic, the service is fast, and the vibes were solid. This place is only a short walk from the heard of the U district but tucked away from the chaos.

Great people! Amazing lamb! One of the best in Seattle Definitely try it out !!! Large portions
Food is ok. Tadique was not very good.Service could use some work on articulation and clearing plates of food that were done before bringing dessert. Ambience could use work. Bathrooms are dirty, floor needs replaced, etc.

TLDR: We got takeout and not only were we not impressed by the food (which is a first for us), but I think I got sick from it. I wish I had a better experience but I would not order from here again nor recommend. Food: I had the eggplant meal - the dolmeh were good and the salad seemed fine, but the eggplant sauce I put on the rice was not only stone cold, but did not have hardly any eggplant or flavor in it. It felt like I could have been pasta sauce on rice and I didn't even finish it. I got sick within 24 hours and that was the only new or unfamiliar thing I had eaten. My partner got the chicken skewers and liked those but he was very disappointed in the Koobideh Kabob Dish with Zereshk Polo. He didn't finish his either, which is rare for both of us. He also had the baklava which he described as "eh" and felt was too small a portion for the price. I would not ever order from here again. Service & Ambiance: N/A due to take out so can't speak to those.

Dough (yogurt drink) was great and so we're other dishes (friend ordered so don't have the names on me). Quick service. Would recommend substituting any of the rices (polos in the vegetation section) as a side for the meat dishes.

m y r e c c o m m e n d a t i o n sShirin Polo Plate - long grain basmati rice mixed with grated cherries, slivered almonds, and raisins. Served with dolmeh (3), green salad, and hummus.w h a t d i d I t r y ?* Shirin Polo Plate: 5/5They give you flatbread, salted butter, raw onions, and Thai basil as an on-the-house appetizer. The bread is simple but yummy. I have to stop myself from eating it all before the main course.Onto the main course: the Shirin Polo Plate. I love a vegetarian dish that is packed with cards, veggies, protein most importantly, flavor! This is one of the best dishes I've ever had. I love the blend of sweet and savory, and soft and crunchy. Everything about this dish is so yummy. I am salivating writing this review.p r i c e: 5/5The plate is huge and it costs $18. I could split this dish in half and have two meals. s e r v i c e: 5/5The servers are so nice! On a particularly busy evening, the server was running around the restaurant. My party finished eating and was ready for the check. Despite being busy tending to 3 other tables with large parties, they could still let us know they'd be with us shortly, and they were. When they got to our table, they apologized for the delay. I could tell they were sincere. a t m o s p h e r e: 3/5It is a bit dark in here and I don't remember there being much light. They have Farsi music in the background. I love it when places play music to immerse you in the culture.p a r k i n g: 4/5Thank goodness there is free 2-hour parking. I've usually found parking here, which is rare in Seattle r a t i n g b r e a k d o w n1: never ever again... 2: not very good, but at least something went right3: average.4: yummy, but something was lacking 5: everything was perfect!

Had a hankering for lamb chops and they delivered, rice and chops were perfect. Mast moosir was really good too, we all left full and happy.
