    We have lunched at The Persian Room several times. It’s a bit of a drive for us, but worth it. Today we ordered the beef shish kabob and barg. Both dishes were excellent, as was the complimentary barbari with cilantro and sweet onion. The restaurant itself is beautiful. A hidden gem worth discovering.

    Very authentic food can be confusing but the waiters here are more than happy to walk you through the experience with compassion and feed your curiousity. Most of the noise is from the most lovely water fountain in the front that provides a soothing waterfall like sound the whole time. The food is spectacular and worth every reasonably priced cent.

    The atmosphere and service were wonderful. The food was surprisingly not very exotic, but perhaps has been toned down for the American palate. For the price I wanted to have my taste buds experience new flavors and spices.

    Persian Room is a great place to have family style meals. We’ve been there many, many times, but the last two times they have not been able to serve us a particular dish the way it was ordered. Both times we ordered the crispy rice dish with the stew on the side - some of our guests like the crispy rice plain — both times it was served with the stew on top of the rice and while the server apologized, that was all we got! On our recent visit, we ordered two orders of the crispy rice and explained to the waiter that the stew needs to be on the side and he agreed and understood. However, minutes later we were told the stew was put on top and there was no more crispy rice!!! It doesn’t feel good when the restaurant makes a mistake and it’s a “take it or leave it” attitude, especially twice within 2 months.

    We had looked forward to the Persian Room and were sadly quite disappointed. The venue is very pretty with a fountain and large chandelier but the feeling was old and tired. For a Thursday evening , very few people came in. the Server was spacy, barely there, and didn't get anything right. He even gave an eyeroll when my guest asked about an item on the menu like he was so bothered. The food was meh, barely acceptable, nothing great. I suggest a rethink, better staff training, and some actual enthusiasm if you want to keep going. Sorry for the lousy review but it truly was that bad.

    We are never disappointed dining at The Persian Room. When we're craving lamb prepared to perfection, this is the only destination these days that satisfies. Patrick has served us well 3 of the last 4 times here. He's a hoot!

    Our service was almost non-existent. There was only one other table occupied during our entire lunch experience, so there was no excuse for our server not being attentive. It took a while for the server to even come to the table. No one came to refill our water glasses, we had to wait, again, for our server to appear. One of us had the chicken shish and the chicken was way over cooked, dry and hard. We mentioned it to our server once she appeared and asked for extra sauce. She said people usually just mix the chicken with the rice and tomato to give it some moisture. No offer to replace the dried out chicken or offer some kind of discount on it. When we had finished with lunch we waited at least fifteen minutes for our plates to be removed. Just not a good experience.
