“The lamb shank and Bakhtiari were absolutely incredible! Every bite was packed with flavor, and the steamed rice was the perfect accompaniment. It was so light and fluffy, it didn't weigh down the meal at all. I highly recommend trying this - you won't regret it!“
“Amazing all around. I ordered the chicken (joojeh) kabob and the beef (koobideh) kabob with grilled tomato and it was amazing. So affordable too. Authentic and delicious. And the service was quick for being made to order. I can't wait until the next time i go to the market to get more. Highly recommend to anyone who like persian food or wants to try something new! 10/10“
“We ordered Moushakal (Labneh tasted the best), fatteh and shish taouk! The shish taouk is chicken kebab which is tasty but not unique. Fatteh was just AWESOME. I’m going to come back to eat just that! And then we ordered Baklava, which was delicious. I’ve had baklava in several places and I’ve never been a fan. But having it here changed that. It was the best Baklava I’ve ever had. Totally recommend this place!!“

“I've been in the area over 10 years now and confident I have tried all the different Persian spots in the Puget Sound. This one is the best, not only for the food but the staff are the friendliest and really take care of you. The food across the board is higher quality and more expertly prepared than anywhere else I've seen.“
“Never a bad day at this restaurant. We’ve been here so often, that Shay the owner remembers our names and orders. We rarely go to the same place twice, but the food and service here has blown us away. Both Shay and Moussad treat their customers like family. Food is always fresh, cooked perfectly and comes in huge quantities. They’ve been around for 15 years and have so many loyal customers that they sell out on most days!“

“As a connoisseur of good food, I have tried almost all good restaurants in the Seattle area and I can vouch Bella Balducci’s quality of meat is simply peerless. If you like eating meat outside without burning a hole in the pocket, this is my top recommendation.“
“It was my first time here. We had the hummus, baba ghanoush, lamb shanks, Cornish hen, and beef stew.The Cornish hen and lamb shanks were the most delicious entrees. The rice that came with the entrees were cooked perfectly. Goes well with the entrees.“
“Stopped in here this evening. The owners are super friendly and helped us navigate the menu as it was our first time having Persian food. When we got our food I was super impressed. Every thing we ate was DELICIOUS!! I highly recommend this place. GET IN THERE!!!“
