text: I have eaten at many Mediterranean Restaurants in Arizona aside from other states and overseas The Persian Room is by far one of the best in Arizona if not The Best You will find a mixed crowd there and it is as casual as you want it to be From large parties celebrating an occasion business meetings families couples and friends everyone is welcome Now back to the foodI have had several dishes including the Chicken Filet Sultani Barg Sultani Naderi and Gyros and all were wonderful All seasoned well and very tender To start off the Tah Dig crispy rice topped with Gheimeh stew is delicious You can have that alone as a meal but most parties start with this as an appetizer along with Shirazi Salad Most meals are served with Basmati Rice and you can choose Shirazi Salad to accompany it If you go after pm you will have the opportunity to try their freshly baked pita bread as well My absolute favorite entree is the Koobideh seasoned ground beef and minced onions It is the best I have ever had Just be forewarned the portions are large So be prepared to take half your dish home which is just as good the next day All in all the service is wonderful and the food is outstanding If you have yet to try Mediterranean food why not start with the bestOR try someplace else and then try The Persian Room to compare You can thank me later
