Alfarsi Restaurant

Alfarsi just recently opened up but it’s already shaping up to be a strong contender for great Persian fare in the city. We visited for a weekend lunch and ordered the hummus, baba ghanoush, muhammara, boneless chicken wrap, and the lamb koubideh entree. The standouts were hands down the lamb koubideh and muhammara. The koubideh was bursting with flavors and impressively juicy. Paired with fluffy and fragrant rice, it was a delightful dish. The muhammara struck a perfect balance between sweet and tangy, lightly smoky with a pleasant texture. The baba ghanoush was also great: smoky and garlicky with a refreshing subtle tartness from the lemon and a texture that landed nicely between smooth and chunky. The hummus was a bit bland, needing more garlic, lemon juice, and salt. The chicken wrap was skimpy on the chicken and had lots of lettuce as filler. The chicken itself had some nice charred bits but was a tad dry and could also have used more seasonings. All in all, Alfarsi shows a lot of promise. Once they’ve had time to settle in and fine-tune a few details, they would be hard to beat.

Amazing food! Each dish we had was fantastic. I can’t wait to go back for more. The staff was friendly, hospitable, and attentive. They brought us the mushrooms to try on the house-both a very generous thing and we were blown away by how delicious the umami flavor was. I will be back here to dine in or takeout soon. 🤩

I had a wonderful time at this restaurant! The Middle Eastern food was absolutely delicious, and I finally found a place where the taste is truly authentic. Everywhere else I've tried, the flavor just wasn’t quite right, but this place got it exactly right. Plus, I was thrilled to get a 25% discount! The service was fantastic, with friendly and attentive staff. The place was clean and inviting. I highly recommend everyone to try it for an authentic Middle Eastern dining experience.

I ordered the Chicken Kabob on the Bone (Jujeh – bone-in chicken marinated in saffron and spices) and it was outstanding! The chicken was incredibly juicy and tender, with a perfect char that brought out the rich saffron flavor. The spices were well-balanced—not overpowering, just enough to bring the dish to life. The grilled vegetables on the side were fresh and flavorful, especially the mushrooms and peppers. A squeeze of lemon added the perfect zing. You can really taste the care put into the preparation. Highly recommended if you’re craving authentic and well-marinated kabob!

Had a bad experience at a nearby restaurant and ended up here instead. It did not disappoint! They had only been open about a week but, everything was running smooth and quick! The owner was friendly and even brought out some babaganoush on the house. Everything we tried was delicious. Our favorite kabobs were the filet mignon and chicken koubideh. Also tried the kashkeh bademjan and loved it. If you're a fan of Persian food, please give this place a try!

Heard about this new Persian restaurant from my husband. We came to try it on a Monday night and it wasn’t crowded. Our server was nice and patient with us taking a lot of time to order. We ordered beef sultani and chicken sultani - both were amazing. The hummus was good too. I want to try the Persian yogurt drink next time!

Excellent food! Served quick, very tasty but I'd prefer a little more char on my ground meat skewers, and a little more onion on the plate. But GREAT menu for vegetarians! Strange however to order at the counter then sit and be served. Plenty of servers... Bathroom had no paper towels.

I am a fan of Persian food honestly and till date I haven’t found a place that hits the spot. I guess this is normal. Let’s dig deep into Farsi. Service is awesome, very fast ,kind and friendly. Since I’m an interior designer the atmosphere was average. Table setting was good. Restroom needs to be upgraded though. Food quality is awesome, clean and fresh. That’s not my problem for not a 5 star. For example rice quantity to the lamb kobedeh ratio is small. If my memory serves me well, Persian lamb doesn’t have parsley. Iranian bread I was served tasted like a burrito. The yoghurt drink was more thick than what I remember Persian yoghurt tastes like. Overall it’s good. For a person looking for authentic classic Persian food (like me) it would be a disappointment. For the sake of giving the owners the praise for making their own style of mixing Arab and Persian cuisine then yes that’s a success. 4 stars because of the cleanliness, freshness and the welcome attitude. Wishing you all the best.
