Kabab Cafe — Restaurant in Tredyffrin Township

Okay so this place is most probably the best Authentic Iranian food for the greater Philadelphia area that is 100% Halal. Yes its quite far from center city, but its worth the commute! The value for money in this place is great, 2 adults and a child our bill came up to $30.00 including tip. There is plenty of parking, clean restaurant, supper friendly and amazing customer service.

The food is really amazing, the kebabs are made to order, fresh, juicy and succulent. The combo is most probably are favourite option, we usually go for the Joojeh and Koobideh. The great thing with this place is that you can add a skewer of just the kebab as well, we usually order the Barg (beef steak). The Kebabs in this place really are juicy, it just melts in your mouth with all the flavours. The rice is really good with the saffron, taste fresh it's AMAZING. You also get 2 sides with a combo, a fountain drink and the Nan bread as well. They do seem more like south Asian Nan bread then the traditional bread. I actually prefer the bread the restaurant provide than the traditional Iranian bread which is more crispy, seems more designed for dips. The bread is really good with the sandwich option of the kebab as well. The portion of the combo is quite big and is quite filling for one person.

I didn't see any thing on the menu like Ash Reshteh (Noodle soup) or fesenjoon (stew flavored with pomegranate paste and ground walnuts) Would love to see these as specials maybe during the winter time.

On weekends around lunch this place fills up pretty fast, so you may find yourself waiting for a table if there are more than two of you. The decor is a very canteen like, but it has some amazing photos of some landmarks in Iran. You actually order at the counter, where they give you a number to put on your table so the waiter can bring the food to your table. It's not a huge place, but its a great little restaurant showing authentic Iranian food. I have eaten at a few Persian restaurant especially in the greater DC area too, dare I say it it is as good as those places. Yes this place is on point and deffo worth the visit, if u are passing or living in the greater...

I had gone here multiple times before, back when I was a student at Villanova. Had brought family members here because of its great food. To say that I was disappointed with my experience here today would be an understatement.

I came in with my mother after visiting my alma mater today. To start with, I felt an extremely undesirable vibe when the cashier lady told me--in what seemed to be a negative tone--that I "ordered a lot of food for just myself" (it was to-go, and we don't have Persian food around where I live). Whether this was a jab at my appearance or not, I do not know. But things started off on a negative path from there.

Afterward, my mother and I waited around for over a half hour for our food to be ordered. I could tell that something was amiss when I heard yelling and saw who I assume to be the owner waving his arms around in the kitchen. I understand that things happen sometimes in businesses--especially restaurants. However, the appropriate thing to do is to let your customers know, and apologize. Instead, I asked the cashier why the food was taking so long, and if something was going on. All that she said to me in response was that the food is "made to order," and that the owner "just likes to talk loudly." This was a lie, and I did not appreciate having the situation misrepresented to me. Things then escalated when I heard the owner literally curse at someone else in the kitchen and tell him to "shut the f* up." I can tolerate a lot of things, but cursing going on at a place of business--especially when my mother is also around--is extremely unprofessional. It seems that the Kabab Cafe has declined in terms of its level of operations, and this is very...

This is the first time I've eaten at this restaurant. I had Koobideh and my wife had a chicken kabob. We both had bread rather than rice, which is the default. They said they would cook, withing reason, anything you want, such as onions, peppers and the standard tomatoes. I just moved to Pennsylvania a few weeks ago and missed eating Persian kabobs. I moved from Northern Virginia where there were more than a few Persian kabob places. From my experience, the best way to describe the Koobideh at this restaurant from the other restaurants where I have had it is at this restaurant it was sweeter and more smooth and less spicy. In a sense, to me it is similar to the different between a Merlot and a Pinot Noir. Both are good but I prefer the Pinot Noir. In other words, I liked the Koobideh here a bit less than how I liked in at my old restaurants. However, the staff were quite helpful and gave me and my wife some free samples and helped us navigate the restaurant as this was our first time. None of these things are overly difficult but it was still pleasant. The restaurant is modern and somewhat plain but the staff is pleasant and the food is good. The owner walked in while we were eating and asked how we were doing and how was the food. We said everything was fine and it was. It's in a very large long L-shaped outdoor shopping center. It was a pleasant respite and the food was good. The bread was OK, but nothing special but I still...
