Great meal to get a true experience of Persian cuisine. Started with doogh (spiced yogurt drink) and mirza ghasemi (smoked eggplant, tomato and egg) which was smooth and tasty, and dolmeh (lamb wrapped in vine leaves) which were especially delicious. The beef and chicken kebab were nicely spiced but not as tender as we were expecting, while the lamb was perfectly tender and delicious in its sauce. Dessert was perfection - akbar mashti (rose-saffron ice cream) was full of delicate flavors. Service was good and good arrived quickly. Can't wait to go again.

Having lived in the Middle East we were in the mood for something from the region. Luckily, Persepolis Grill was just waiting for us! The staff is warm and welcoming with lots of helpful suggestions. We had the best humus ever, followed by crispy rice with Saffron. We shared the Kings Choice each item does its best to outshine the other and each is spectacular! You simply must come in for the fabulous service and outstanding food! You will be happy you have. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

At first they brought us complementary bread and herbs. We ordered mast moosir, koobide and vaziri. The food was great. The staff was very friendly and polite. If you are looking for an authentic persian cuisine this place is great.

One of the best Persian Restaurants in the US. Give it a try if you happen to be in Seattle.

Friendly place with nice crew. Food was fine with reasonable price n good menu.That was nothing to complain but you would nt surprise here as well.

Let me start with saying how yummy the tahdig was , we got ghormesabzi tahdig as appetizer , which was a big plate , almost an entree size ! Crispy and thick ! Amazing taste, probably the best I could eat !For entree we got barg kabab and gheime bademjan, I had bademjan which was well prepared ! I probably missed a little limoo ammani in it , but any how it was very yummy.My friend got barg, which I tried a little bit of , and the meat was soooo soft , which disappeared in my mouth within a few bites! And left me with delicious flavor ! Great barg! Very well cooked !And now let me tell you why I took off one start! And that is only because they did not have Persian ice cream , although I could see it on the online menu , but their paper menu didn’t have desserts like ice cream , when I inquired they replied “we have saffron ice cream” which is not Persian ice cream , you can probably buy saffron ice cream from any Walmart store . However when I go to “Persian restaurant “ I expect to have authentic Persian menu .However , I would try this restaurant again , I loved barg , tahdig , I want to try some other eggplant dish there too (like kashk bademjaan which read quite appetizing)

All of the foods and dessert are delicious. I especially enjoyed the saffron ice cream, Baklava, Cornish hen kebab, chicken tenderloin breast kebab, as well as the lamb chops are all yummy and delicious. My only important complaint is that the service was slow. I hope you improve it. I’m giving this four stars out of five stars because of the service and management. Other than that, the foods were so yummy and flavorful.

I hate leaving bad reviews but you can not advertise “Persian Food” and use made-up recipes to cook the food. “Baghali Poolo” doesn’t not have tomato paste in it. The taste of this dish was pretty bad and nothing about it was Persian whatsoever.

We had a reservation for five people at 7, for dinner tonight.We had to wait an extra half hour before we were seated.The food was good but the service was mediocre.Maybe they were too tired after a busy night.While we were eating, they turned away about 25guests who wanted to have dinner here. They were politely told that the restaurant had closed around eight or 830..What came as a shock was when we asked for desserts and tea.We were told they couldn’t serve any dessert or beverages because they were closed.We had come in at 7 PM, long before the official closing time of eight or tea.I was surprised that we were denied desserts or tea while we were still not done with our meal.I have never heard of a restaurant doing this and I was disappointed.

Super yummy! The crispy rice was so interesting and tasty, plus the kings platter was ALL THE Meat ?. I usually don't like saffron that much but the flavor on the chicken was perfect and. It overpowering.
