Shahs of Kabob Kendall — Restaurant in Palmetto Bay

This place has the most delicious kabobs and tahdig I've eaten in a very long time! I ordered 3 skewers: 1 skewer of barg, 1 skewer of beef/lamb koobideh, 1 skewer of joojeh. When I got there to pick up my order, the place was a bit nondescript. Very much a hole-in-the-wall type of place. A bit hard to find at night. But nice and welcoming inside. The people who work there were friendly.

Usually, at other Persian restaurants, tahdig with lavash is not something they always have. Plain rice tahdig is more common. I asked the woman behind the counter if I could add some tahdig with lavash to my order. She asked how many, and I said 2. And then when she was handing me my order, I asked how much for the tahdig (since I had already paid for the rest online), and she said "don't worry about it" - I was so delighted! I couldn't believe they would give it to me for free, as I've usually had to pay for it in my past experiences at Persian restaurants in California (this was my first time trying a Persian restaurant in Florida, even though I've lived here for a couple years).

When I got back to my hotel, the food was still nice and warm. The kabobs were so tasty! Just the perfect amount of seasoning, salt and very juicy. They were cooked just right, easy to bite into, not dry or chewy at all. Amazing! I've eaten tons of kabobs throughout my life, including in Iran and other countries, and these were among the best I've ever had. The lavash tahdig was incredible! Crunchy to bite into and soft as you eat it... just the right texture and flavor. I wish I had asked for more pieces :)

I had evacuated to Miami due to the recent hurricane and was due to leave the next morning. If I was sticking around town I'd probably be eating...

A Hidden Gem in West Kendall – Exceptional Persian Cuisine

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a Persian restaurant in West Kendall, and it was truly a delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, the cozy atmosphere and warm hospitality of the owner and his wife made me feel right at home. They were incredibly attentive, ensuring that every detail of our meal was perfect.

The food was absolutely delicious and authentically Persian. I savored every bite of their flavorful kebabs, rich and creamy hummus, and the standout dish—perfectly cooked tahdig with its golden, crispy crust. The generous portions were another highlight, making this not only a culinary treat but also great value for the price.

If you're in West Kendall and looking for a memorable dining experience with outstanding Persian flavors, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. The kindness of the owners and the quality of the food will undoubtedly keep me coming back! We had the family platter which included beef, lamb, and chicken. I'm not much of a chicken eater in restaurants, but the chicken...

This Persian kebab restaurant is an absolute treasure! From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere and the tantalizing aroma of freshly grilled kebabs.

The food is simply outstanding! Every dish is bursting with authentic Persian flavors. The koobideh is perfectly seasoned and juicy, the barg is tender and melts in your mouth, and the joojeh kebab is grilled to perfection with just the right amount of char. Their saffron rice is fragrant and fluffy, pairing beautifully with the kebabs, and the fresh herb platter (sabzi khordan) adds a delightful touch of authenticity.

What sets this place apart is the attention to detail and exceptional service. The staff are attentive, friendly, and happy to explain the menu if you’re unfamiliar with Persian cuisine. The portions are generous, and the quality of the ingredients is top-notch.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of Persian food or trying it for the first time, this restaurant is a must-visit. You’ll leave with a happy heart and a full belly....
