Persepolis Is a Persian/ Mediterranean restaurant with a dynamic atmosphere and 20 years of experience! The restaurant is famous for verity of kebabs and refreshing salads and gently spiced grilled meats. The yogurt and cucumber blended with a little mint is made exceedingly well and is an ideal cool compliment to Persepolis’ rounds of Pita & Barbari bread. Our kebabs which include moist and delicious salmon or saffron chicken are served without heavy sauces. Instead they are served with a choice of four rices including an intriguing blend of Basmati rice and marinated sour cherries. Our personalized wine list truly compliments our cuisine. We also offer a full classic bar.
We look forward to seeing you!

    Loved our dinner here. Very relaxed atmosphere. Very good attentive service. The lentil soup was excellent and the salmon kabobs were perfect. The stew very good as well. We will be returning for sure. It's wonderful comfort food!

    Very helpful, comfortably attentive wait staff. Great mocktail; good apps. We had lamb stew which was more brothy than we expected, but maybe we just didn’t know. Really good deserts — recommend the “cotton candy”.
