VERY overrated !
I read several reviews on Yelp and really was excited to take my friend here for dinner. What a disppointment! The server showed up twice--once to TAKE our order, then the second time to ask if we wanted dessert and our bill. This is not what you call SERVICE.
We ordered the combo lamb and chicken skewer. The chicken was good but the lamb was extremely tough and full of fat. Of course we couldn't send it back and address the problem since the server failed to follow up.
I ordered a martini straight up and it took over 45 minutes to receive it. When the bill came they charged me an UP charged since I asked for the normally included cranberry as a SPLASH on the side. When I asked the server about this charge on the bill, she said that since the cranberry was presented with ICE they had to pour more liquor...I didn't ask for ice...just a splash that I could mix in. They normally include cranberry, chambord, pineapple, and more for the same inclusive price to this martini so this was not a justified up charge.
Heads up to those thinking about coming here.... You can go to several restaurants that offer excellent chicken/beef/and quality lamb skewers that are better quality and much more reasonable. It's clear that The Persian Room doesn't focus on this.
Suggestion, Offer smaller portions for less $$ and offer more attentive service. There's obviously a problem when 100% of the tables are taking food to go and paying top dollar for a meal that simply isn't worth it.
