| - I have been to the Persian Room about five times over the last two years. It is a nice restaurant but can get a bit noisy on Friday and Saturday nights. Therefore, we prefer to go there for lunch over dinner.
There is a regular menu and a lunch menu. If you order from the lunch menu (an item with meat such as a chicken kabob) it is not that much less to order a larger portion from the regular menu and then have some to take home for lunch the next day. My point being, the difference in price between lunch and dinner is not great enough compared to how much less meat you receive.
We stopped ordering the ground lamb and beef kabobs because we found the spices were more and more lacking as time went by. Also, we found the beef and lamb kabobs to be mushy, they don't have the nice crust on them the chicken does.
If you want meat, I recommend staying with the white meat chicken which has always been moist and tender.
We usually get 1/2 salad and 1/2 rice. Otherwise, you wind up with a big pile of rice, much more than you would need for your meal. It looks like you are getting a lot of food, but if you take the rice off the plate, not so for the price.
Upon arrival, you are served an ample amount bread with fresh herbs, butter, and a fresh white onion to wrap up and enjoy. My husband and I always look forward to this. It is a wonderful type of appetizer with a beer!
We find the service slow and lacking a bit each time we go, but are used to it now and don't go there to eat when we are on a time schedule.
The hummus is very nice - creamy and plenty of it for the price.
There is a dish on the menu that is an appetizer stew of types served on a bed of crisp rice. We found the rice to be so crisp and hard we could not eat it. The idea is the sauce from the stew penetrates the rice, but there was not enough sauce for this to happen. I have noticed other Yelp reviewers commented on dishes with sauce also - not enough. We tried this appetizer twice thinking one time the crispy rice issue may have been a fluke, but both times the rice were so hard it was if they had never been cooked in the first place. Not worth breaking a tooth over!
The grilled tomato does not come on all kabob platters, if you want one, be sure to ask for one.
Therefore, due to the inconsistency with the kabob seasonings, because of the slow lunch service (meaning receiving the check so you can go), and portions and because some of the dishes are not quality controlled consistently, I gave them a four-star raring.
