Pricy and tasteless food – i was there for my valentine's day. I ordered a typical valentine dinner with starter and dessert. The entry was lab shack and chicken kabob. The lamb thigh is the cheapest part of the lamb because I remembered Emil from food network mentioned it, and very over cooked that it does not have any flavor anymore. The chicken kabob is chewy and dry. Then there is dessert. It tasts yucky. what a waste of money, the bill was $95 and we were still hungry afteward.

WORST FOOD, WORST SERVICE, MOST EXPENSVE BILL – We paid $60 for two main courses, and 6 cloves of so called garlic pickle. It was dry, tasteless pretentious Persian fare. Restaurant was empty, and it will deserve to close its shutters down. It does no justice to delicate and aromatic Persian cuisine!

Worst Service! – We wanted to support a locally owned restaurant so we randomly decied to try Alborz. Even though the place was completely empty, except for one family with a crying baby, the waitress tried to sit us in a small table in the back. We constantly had to keep asking for more water and twice had to get up to get the waitresses attention. Signiture salad was disappointing and WAY over priced. The food was good though, but the service terrible. I hope the owner reads these comments and make changes!

ORDER FAMILY STYLE.. IT WILL COST YOU!!!!!! – We have been to many Persian restaurants in the Seattle area but never have been so taken advantage of on price gouching. How can an owner of the restaurant act as if she was saving the customer money by having us order family style rather than individual dishes. Generally, large parties orders family style dishes to save cost on their meal. How is someone supposed to prove by ordering family style dishes how much food was actually given. The owner did not explain to us exactly h... read more

Sticker Shock – Me and my Husbant went there with a group of people. We all felt that the food wasn't very good and the prices are high.

Thinks too much of itself. – I agree with the reviewer who said that this restaurant is nothing compared to what is found in LA. The atmosphere is what you'd expect from a strip mall in a nothing neighborhood, but with a thin veneer of trying to be nice. I arrived when it was completely empty and was still seated in the back near the kitchen. Dinner was fine, but for $15-$20/plate and a minimum $8/glass of wine, I expected more than just a slab of meat, some rice, and maybe a little salad. In an equivalent restaurant in LA i... read more
