Customer Reviews
An absolute lifesaver and a true gem for quality Persian food. We placed a to-go order on very, very short notice, and that too late in the day, and yet the team at Ziba handled it flawlessly. Not only was the order ready on time, but the food was exceptionally tasty, incredibly fresh, and prepared to absolute perfection which is not easy to pull off for a rushed takeaway order. We ordered Koobideh for a small family gathering, and it was just perfect. The koobideh was cooked to perfection, beautifully seasoned, juicy, and quite literally melted in our mouths. Every bite tasted fresh, well-balanced, and made with care, as if it were prepared for a dine-in experience rather than a late to-go order. The hosts deserve a special mention for their absolute 5-star hospitality. Accommodating a
Respond to the owner: Thank you for your response, but none of your assumptions change the facts of what happened. My review is accurate, and the order was in fact placed with Ziba Restaurant — there is no confusion with another business. Whether the order was placed a la carte or as meals is irrelevant to the main issue: 11 skewers of kabob were ordered and the order arrived with only half of one tomato. You can repeat your policies, but the reality is that what we received did not match what was paid for. A la carte or not, no legitimate Persian restaurant sends out $300 worth of kabob with half of one tomato. And yes, we were charged for a full skewer of tomato, but received half. That is the entire point. As for the complimentary sides you claim to “always” provide — they were not incl
We ordered a variety of dishes, including the Filet Kebab (Kebab Barg), Kebab Sultani, Kubideh, and (chicken kebab) Jujeh Kebab. While the Jujeh Kebab was the highlight of our meal. healthy, and flavorful, the other dishes were not quite up to our expectations. The filet kebabs were a bit tough and not as tender as we would have liked, and the Kubideh, though still enjoyable, was a little dry. Additionally, we were a bit disappointed with the rice, as it didn’t quite meet the standard we expected from traditional Persian rice. That being said, the overall experience was still pleasant. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and the ambience was decent, providing a comfortable atmosphere.
We are pretty picky about our Persian food and had never eaten here. We came with a friend that had been and said it had been renovated and is under newer management since the pandemic. The ambiance was nice, clean, and chic and the kabob was superb! Our food was delicious and our server was very accommodating. We will definitely be returning and telling others!
The owner was nice. She introduced herself and took our order. My sister, her husband and my nephew had eaten there under the previous owner like 6 years ago and since we were in the area, they wanted us to try it. My mom and I had never eaten "Persian" food. Prices ranged from 15 to 30 from what I'd say was good sized plates. Decor was nice. Restaurant was empty. Male waiter was on top of checking on us and refilling our waters. We got a complimentary "starter dish" with mint leaves, butter pats, soft cheese and like half an onion...all to spread on thin tortilla (lavash?) The waiter explained how to eat it. We ordered our plates. Everyone liked the plates ... I am not sure what the dish names were but 3 dishes were ground beef and chicken skewers... my mom got chicken breast skewer all
