The Real Thing – The restaurant is meticulously decorated with beautiful artwork by the chef. The music is great. The service is friendly and prompt. The food is superb. If you are an undiscriminating eater and would prefer inexpenseive mediocre food, there are plenty of other options (try McDonald's). But if you prefer the highest quality fresh meats, Alborz is the place for you. The average price for an entree is $14. The filet kabobs (lamb and beef) are in the $20's. If you know of a place where I can get an 8oz filet mig... read more

Persian Cuisine at its best – As a trained chef, I have a very discriminating taste for food. The quality of food at Alborz is truly fantastic. I've tried all the Persian restaurants in Seattle, and Alborz has no competition. Truly the best Persian food in Seattle. Worth the price. I loved the saffron rice, juicy steak skewers and generous portions. I couldn't ask for anything more. The ambiance is dreamy with the Chef's artwork displayed on the walls. The service is friendly and responsive. I told my waitress about a mix up... read more

Alborz is not exactly flawless... – To starts off, the food was waaaaay too overpriced. It was hands down the worst Persian food I have ever had.

Throughout my meal I was perplexed by the smallest lamb shank I have ever seen that was served to me. I was only able to pick off a few small pieces of lamb until I was ... read more

Succulent and Juicy....healthy too! – It is only until you open your car door do you realize why those with even the most discernable palate are migrating miles from their cozy eateries in Queen Anne and Belltown to experience what many keep as a secret to themselves. Two words. Grilled Kabob. A lightly flavorful well-sized length of Alborz's Barg Kabob puts the steakhouses to shame. The tenderloin amazing cuts with a fork and is juicy enough so that even starch-haters will scrape every grain of lightly-buttered, fluffy rice... read more

A new dimension for rice – A hushed and serious-seeming restaurant, beautifully decorated. I ordered a dish of rice mixed with lima beans. I love rice - my favorite cookbook is the "Seductions of Rice" recipe book/photojournal - and this dish was really something, fluffy rice grains green and fragrant with dill, the beans flavorful and cooked to perfection, topped with a sprinkling of melting feta cheese and saffron rice lightly coated in butter. My friend the lima-bean hater tried a little of my lima beans and loved them. H... read more
