About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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!

    It is a better DINNER VENUE. lunch is very noisy and the doors are left open so the traffic noise is loud and takes away from a pleasant dining experience. When asked to close the doors, and switch the air conditioning on- the owner refused!! It was a humid day too.

    Loved it. Entrees had way too much rice but not enough protein I’m going back and will request an adjustment in what I order if that works I’d give it a five star all around

    Everything about this place is excellent—the staff and the hospitality they provide, the atmosphere and of course the food. Kebabs are moist and delicious, stews are great and if they have the roast chicken special definitely get it! It’ll outdo any roast chicken you’ve ever had!!

    With an expanded menu, the excellent selections continue with favorites and new additions. As always, attentive and courteous service. Love the seafood selections and appetizers such as yogurt / cucumber and mirza.
