We had SUCH a great dinner at the Persian Room last night !!! Our 25 yo daughter had flown in to visit us, and we wanted to treat her to an EXTRA special meal !!! Since she is a vegetarian, we chose the Persian Room due to the many vegetarian options !!! We truly enjoyed the complimentary Nan along with a side of humus that we ordered....My hubby and I ordered "The Persian Room" combination of chicken filet, filet mignon, and Koobideh kebab (serving of 2), along with Basmati rice and a grilled tomato !! It was BEYOND DELICIOUS !!! My daughter had the Dolmeh (served in grape leaves) and absolutely LOVED her choice !!! The service is phenomenal and first class,,,, the decor of the restaurant is SO gorgeous and the ambiance is unable to be matched !!! We chose the perfect restaurant to catch up with our daughter !!! THANK YOU Persian Room !!!

The food was really delicious and the atmosphere was pretty. We happen to be seated in a room with several large gatherings, and it was hard for us to hear our own conversation.

I have eaten here many times . My wife is Persian and the food is becoming less authentic as time goes on . I am sure they need to cater to many non-Persians but food is tasteless. The portions as typically large . I just wish the severed less food at a higher quality

Since moving to Scottsdale I have wanted to try The Persian Room. I am very familiar with Persian food… the town I moved from had 3 Persian restaurants and one of our Persian friends was a great cook. I made the reservation a few weeks ago with my co- worker. We love to try new places. Not being able to find a parking spot was frustrating but we took it as a good sign of them being so busy. When I gave the host my name… very awkward space with cramped waiting area, he luckily took us to a table right away. As I left the resplendent dining room and was taken to another room, possibly a closed in porch, I thought to myself… why are we going way back here? We were sat in a corner next to the server’s station which was luckily blocked by a partition. When I looked out the window, all I saw were mounds of chairS, not neat and orderly, all just thrown on top of one another helter skelter and there was a plastic table like the kind you buy at Costco folded up leaning against the wall next to our table. OK. I wanted to look past the bad table and enjoy the evening with our friends who showed up and right away questioned whether we should move, but then the waiter came over and seemed pleasant enough and so we stayed. I had Ghormeh sabzi which is a kind of beef stew that I’ve eaten on numerous occasions. It lacked flavor and I kid you not maybe had 3 tiny pieces of beef in it. My husband and one friend ordered lamb and her husband ordered lamb and chicken. The food wasn’t terrible, but it was nothing exceptional either… just kind of blah. The chicken was dry and needed some sauce so we asked the waiter for a yogurt cucumber sauce. The portions were huge so we ended up bringing a lot home. Maybe our dogs will enjoy it. My friend and I wanted dessert so I ordered baklava and she ordered a kind of cake and was told that they were sold out (we got there at 6:30) and then she ordered another only to be told - it was sold out too. Then the mgr came by and took our H2O away. :(

Staff amazing! Food amazing! However, the surcharge you add for credit card use on the check is absurd. We paid cash and our lovely server took it off but the fact that you want your patrons to pay your charges for the food delivery apps you use is cheap and disgusting. It also puts your servers in an awkward position when they have to explain. I noticed other customers thinking that was going towards the servers gratuity and therefore were going to leave them less than they deserve. Don’t be so cheap and treat your staff and customers with more respect.

The waiter at the Persian Room was super friendly/attentive and would not hesitate to take pictures for us while he was extremely busy serving others. Those pictures captured a special moment as I introduced a close friend (and his family) to Persian cuisine — specifically the Koobideh Kebab — during his journey from Vietnam to the U.S. Those photos will serve as lasting memories of this occasion.
