The Persian Grille

We didn’t know what expect the food was good the rice is DELICIOUS I had the chicken skewers one breast meat other ground chicken very good and we had a stew that was excellent

Very good Persian food. It's a small cozy restaurant. Staff was very kind and friendly, explained the menu very well, and accommodated most special requests. Thank you! Food was good. Kabobs were really good, lamb chops being the star of the show. Chenjeh and chicken with bone were really good too. Tahdig with stew was not rice tahdig which was weird. All else was great. Will be back!

2025 update: Still solid choice for authentic tasting Persian food. --- Very authentic even though not owned by Persian. The rice was a little too buttery and the peppers were so blackened you couldn't even tell what they were. But... The kubideh kebab and jujeh kebab were excellent

There is room for improvement of persian grill: The music which is played all the time is the spa/massage place music. Food is ok, some better than others. Tahdig khoresh is the best and zereshk polo is my favorite.

We loved the food! We ordered the royal kabab, which included both chenjeh and kubideh. Both were tender and juicy. The shirin polo was good as well, with a strong orange zest flavor. For an appetizer, we had kashk bademjoon, which was quite satisfying, though (I wish they had served it with Persian bread instead of pita.) We also ordered Akbarmashti ice cream, which was rich with saffron and just the right amount of sugar. Overall, I would recommend this place.

One of my top recommendations to anyone who lives in or visits Philadelphia or the Greater Philadelphia Area. Unforgettable food. Get the rice with cherries.

I recently visited The Persian Grille and was thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with beautiful Persian décor and soft music that set the perfect mood for the dining. The staff was exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our meal. We started with the appetizer sampler. Each item was bursting with authentic flavors and served with warm, fluffy Persian bread that was simply irresistible. For the main course, we ordered the chicken and lamb shish kabob. Both dishes were cooked to perfection—the lamb was tender and juicy, and the chicken was flavorful and moist. The saffron rice that accompanied our meals was aromatic and complemented the meats beautifully. The portions were generous, and the presentation was elegant. To finish off the meal, we shared a cup of Persian tea. Overall, The Persian Grille exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of delicious food, excellent service, and a cozy ambiance makes it a good choice for anyone craving authentic Persian cuisine.

We traveled from Toronto to Philadelphia two years ago, and by chance we found this restaurant. The food was truly great — excellent quality — and we really enjoyed that evening. We are grateful to this restaurant for leaving us with such a positive and memorable experience.
