Totally authentic Persian/Iranian cuisine
great atmosphere, authentic artifacts, nice peaceful Iranian music, Owner/waiter is from Iran, formerly Persia, great Mediterranean food artfully served, homemade different flavored iced teas, very reasonable prices, this food is not fake or frozen, all Iranian home cooked to order !!
Best Tasting Food in Phoenix. I swear that without a doubt the Persian Garden Cafe offers the best tastting dishes in all of Phoenix. The food is all so fresh and seasoned to perfection. the menu boasts vegetarian and meat dishes and being a vegetarian I have taken many of my carnivorous friends there to dine and all have said that they could be vegetarian if the food that they ate everyday tasted this good. I have met the owner on several occasions as he will come out to personally see the customers and discuss the meals. It is obvious that he prepares every meal with love and that comes through in the food itself. You have to try this restaurant if you enjoy food, you owe it to yourself, trust me.
Great food, amazing service. Really healthy eats with some serious culture. For vegans and vegetarians its bliss! Deserts are worth every cent.
The food tastes GOOD, and it's so delicious. Mahmoud the one who helped us and the owner I think he is so polite and respectful. A great service, delicious food and a beautiful full of treasures place.
I love how this place gives me a feeling of home, cause I'm a middle-eastern.
Will come again for sure ššš¼
Amazing food and service, huge portions, very tasty food! Their āMirza Farangeeā and Dolme are the real deal. We had Deeze from their special menu and it was absolutely perfect!! Quite nostalgic, amazing taste and quality. Totally recommend it (especially if you are Iranian and havenāt had a real dizi in a while!)
Mahmoud and Afsoneh are the Greatest Restaurant owners I've encountered so gracious and kind and there food is absolutely AMAZING...There Head Waiter and Host Brent is Great as well,very mindful to the diners needs and larry the Kitchen man makes sure everything is tidy and clean the restaurant has a great Family feel and just my first time here felt like I've known them forever....I'll definitely be back and suggest you get the chance you go see them...all the food is made in house from freshest ingredients....delicious!!!!!
Great food! I had an amazing veggie food (Mirza farangi) and my husband ordered koobideh kabob and loved it.
Excellent Persian food! I wish they had more traditional persian dishes. Menu was slightly tilted towards vegetarian and for American pallete. Could be due to the demographics in the area. Nevertheless the food was tasty, service was top class, high quality, fresh and lots of food! Take your appetite! I recommend this place.
Wonderful food priced in the $-$$ range, but tasting closer to the $$$ range. The ambience was warm, the decor welcoming. Had all traditional dishes on this first visit and shared family style so we could try more things -- everything was scrumptious! So much food we had to take some home, but not until we enjoyed a little of everything on our plates first! The staff was knowledgeable, helpful in understanding menu items, friendly, and attentive. The owner came out and met with each table, greeting everyone with sincerity and a smile. We finished the meal with a baklava and Turkish coffee. Superb!! Will definitely return next time I'm in Phoenix!
Terrific lunch and I would love to come back for dinner! We split a spud burger plate and spinach burger plate so we could have even more variety. Everything was well seasoned and portions were generous.
For a Vegan traveling it is difficult to find authentic food prepared with a soul. This place has an authentic soul.
Fresh carrot juice and fruit to begin, spicy lentil soup was lighter than I expected (attention to detail with flavors was impressive) Then Salad Shirazi was crispy and amply seasoned with dried mint, salt, pepper and lime juice. The main course was āSpud Burgerā Kookoo Sib-Zamini...... a mountain of perfectly cooked cubes of seasoned and balanced potatoes on a bed of three types of rice and a generous fresh salad with Persian mint and Basil that brought back memories of Iran. Finished with a double serving of Turkish coffee and two cubes of sugar! Perfection to the last second. This place is a little gem in Phoenix. Service was very attentive and pleasant as well. Full package for a nice Vegan meal.
Really good food, I'm loving Mediterranean food, it has more options for vegetarians.
Love this restaurant! Quiet, great atmosphere. The food is amazing & lots of it! Some plates really could be shared between two people. Can't go wrong!!!
The food is love and perfection on a plate. The service is full of love and kindness. I visit frequently. The tea is exquisite. Everything always tastes wonderful.
Great food and great atmosphere!š I will come back! The lemonade and veggie sandwich is great! Also so is the grilled cheese with avocado!
Love the food here!! The people who work here are so nice. I love the Mirza Farangee :). I will be back soon.
I had a really great experience here. I don't usually like lemonade, but I ordered it on a whim because the menu said they made it fresh. I could have written a 5 star review just from that, it was so good! Not overly sweet and the rose water put it over the top. I ordered the Purple Shoots lunch entree and it was amazing. I didn't get a picture because I was too excited to eat it. The man who waited on me was also very sweet. I assume he was the owner, but I'm not sure. He was friendly with all of the diners and everything was very quick and efficient. It was very pleasant all around and I'll definitely be returning!
Placed in a last minute pick up order, for a large group. Owner personally called me back and worked out a menu just for me, addressing my catering needs. He then immediately communicated this with his staff. It felt like the whole restaurant got together to make this happen for me. I picked up the food that was packaged so nicely and was able to impress a big group. The food quality was outstanding. Portions were generous. I couldnāt be more grateful. Thank you
Excellent, flavorful food with vegetarian and vegan options clearly marked. The chef is super friendly and likes to chat with customers. The host is also very friendly and knowledgable about the cuisine. Lunch is a bargain, dinner prices a bit steep. A good date spot for sure.
Been a while since I've eaten here, but had to write a review.
The three times I've been here were excellent!
The host, gracious and kind.
The environment was quiet with a low Middle Eastern soundtrack.
The food was delicious! I had the Mediterranean Salad twice as I thoroughly enjoyed the fresh greens and the tangy dressing. There wasn't too much to drown out the flavor of the greens.
The other time I visited, I had the PurpleShoots. It was a beautiful combination of eggplant and mushrooms. The rice was perfectly cooked.
The lemonade was wonderful every time!
As for the dessert, I enjoyed the vegan saffron rice pudding. The saffron topping made it the best I ever had. The non-dairy pistachio ice cream was so good, I tried to find it elsewhere. I didn't, so I have to go back.
This was our first visit to this restaurant and we will definitely go back again. The food was delicious, unique combination of flavors and seasonings. It was nice to see all the vegetarian and vegan options too! Our server, (I think the owner) was gracious and attentive. We each had one of the specials and took home some baklava for later as we were stuffed. Nice to know you can BYOB, which we may do next time. I was surprised it wasnt packed, but nice to be able to get in and seated right away on a Friday night. Its a hidden gem, cant wait to return!
