Taste of Persia

My book club and I visited Taste of Persia after finishing The Lion Women of Tehran, and it turned out to be the perfect way to continue our journey into Persian culture. From the moment we walked in, the owner and his sister welcomed us with the warmest hospitality. The food was absolutely beautiful and tasted even better. Every dish was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with so much care. We were especially impressed by the generous portions, which allowed us to try and share a variety of plates without feeling rushed or limited. My personal favorite was the beet salad and the bone in chicken. Taste of Persia is more than a restaurant--it's an experience. Our evening was filled with incredible flavors, heartfelt kindness, and a sense of connection to the story we had just read. Highly, highly recommend!

Great food and environment for anyone looking to enjoy Persian cuisine. Each dish I ordered was delicious and the people working there are friendly and offer great service. Highly recommend it.

The food was delicious. Having grown up with Persian food at home, we were pleasantly surprised with the quality here. Mohammad was courteous and quick with service. Meat cooked perfectly and very generous portions. Not really a romantic date night spot. But definitely great for lunch or take out. We will be back for more!

My food starts with greetings. If not greeted warmly, there is no need to eat. Taste of Persia and Cultura Subs are one unit i.e. they share the same kitchen. Cultura Subs is the older business and extended their restaurant to have Taste of Persia too. The staff is very friendly and food is #halal. Subs area has lesser space to eat but the restaurant next to it is reasonably roomy. The menu is a mix of different cuisines. I tried Argentinian Milanesa. It was big marinated thin beef steak deep fried. It was a bit crunchy but can be asked to keep more juicy. The side was Yuka (a.k.a. Cassava root) fries. This is quite fibrous and may be nearly one meal. Also, tried Beef Koobideh wrap. It is more Persian. Next time, I may want to eat with rice. Combined with Mast-o-Musier, it was really good. Prices are reasonable. Just #Mast-o-Musier (kind of Yogurt dip with shallots) was a bit spendy. If you have not tried, do give shot. #MortonGrove #Chicago #food #persiancuisine #travel

The kebab is amazing, wish I could grab another one!!! Teas Sandwiches Shawarma Persian food thats authentic<3 Gentleman named Moe is super friendly and helped with menu options (perfect for hotel guests) Eric aka chef is skilled My gf wanted to sit inside and enjoy the place 10/10 experience

Generous portions and good service. Rice was well done but it’s really hard to Mess up rice. What mattered to me was filet mingon, chicken, and lamb shank, and those did not taste well for me. I know it’s hard to compare a new place to a Kabobi or Noon o Kabob in the city, but I still expected more from this place, especially for the price.

Honestly the best Persian food I have had in area. No longer need to drive to Chicago for good Persian food. The beef Koobideh was so tender and flavorful. The barg was marinated well and tender. Mohamed our waiter was so friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the visit.

Delicious! We got the fesenjan which was a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The kabobs were seasoned and grilled perfectly! The rice was fragrant and fluffy, highly recommend.
