AZ Kabob House

Persian, Middle Eastern, Best Of, Menu

The interior of AZ Kabob House is cheerful but not lavish, and the menu includes less traditional fare, like Greek salads and hummus, but their Persian specialties, like tender, ground beef kubideh kabobs served over saffron rice; homemade doogh, a salted mint and yogurt drink; and gormeh sabzi, a lamb and herb stew, are some of the best versions of these classic Persian dishes anywhere in town.

Persian Room Fine Dining

17040 N. Scottsdale Rd. North Scottsdale

480-614-1414

Persian, Recommended, Menu

An excellent option for diners wanting to experience a bit of international adventure without being intimidated. The space is gorgeous. Ingredients are upper-class (filet mignon, Cornish game hen, mahi-mahi). Dishes are familiar to everyone, focusing on kebabs, with just a few daring offerings like gheimeh (stew) or adas polo (basmati rice tossed with raisins, lentils, dates and saffron). And flavors are friendly, with little exhibition of the riotous spices that make Persian food so exotic.

Tasty Kabob

1250 E. Apache Blvd., #116 Tempe

480-966-0260

Middle Eastern, Persian, Best Of, Menu

Elegant Persian cafe serving authentic Persian food. Fragrant, heaping platters of chelo kabob koobideh and joojeh kabob will help restore warm American-Iranian relations. The signature dish is zereshk polo, a special rice mixed with barberries and saffron. Try the homemade doogh, an unsweetened yogurt drink, but remember: It's an acquired taste. The Persian ice cream flavored with pistachios, rosewater and saffron makes for a charming ending to the meal.
