Welcome to The Persian Grille, located in the heart of Lafayette Hill, PA. This delightful Persian restaurant invites you to indulge in a lavish array of authentic Persian cuisine that pays homage to rich culinary traditions with each dish. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by beautiful Persian décor and a warm atmosphere, evoking the spirit of Persia and making it an inviting space for both regulars and newcomers.

As you settle into your dining experience, prepare to embark on a flavorful journey through some of the restaurant's popular dishes. The menu features mouthwatering entrees like the Kabab Koubideh, with its tender and juicy skewers of specially seasoned ground prime beef, perfectly charred over an open flame, which brings a smoky essence to each bite. Another standout is the Kabab Soltani, showcasing a delicious combination of kabab barg (tenderloin) and koubideh, designed to satisfy even the most discerning palates.

For a unique twist, don't miss the Sabzi Polo Mahi, where fragrant basmati rice mingles with fresh Persian herbs, served alongside succulent salmon marinated in a sumptuous wine and saffron sauce. The Shereen Polo is another fan favorite—fluffy rice accented with saffron, almonds, orange peels, and a generous portion of tender oven-roasted Cornish hen. You can almost taste the love and care that goes into each dish, offering a savory reprieve from the everyday hustle.

The beverage selection is equally impressive, with refreshing drinks like Persian Tea—a soothing blend of exotic imported teas—and the creamy Dough, a yogurt-based drink with mint and club soda that pairs perfectly with the spices in Persian cuisine. Each sip enhances the meal, wrapping you in a blanket of flavor that speaks to the heart of Persian hospitality.

We loved the food! We ordered the royal kabab, which included both chenjeh and kubideh. Both were tender and juicy. The shirin polo was good as well, with a strong orange zest flavor. For an appetizer, we had kashk bademjoon, which was quite satisfying, though (I wish they had served it with Persian bread instead of pita.) We also ordered Akbarmashti ice cream, which was rich with saffron and just the right amount of sugar. Overall, I would recommend this place.

I moved across the country 14 years ago and this is still my favorite restaurant! I came for dinner yesterday and it's absolutely as amazing as I remember. I've never found anything like this restaurant in all the places I've lived - the food is incredibly flavorful and unique. I WISH we could get this in California. The Zereshk Polo is so good it haunts my dreams. VERY generous wine pour and reasonable prices for how great the food is! Can't wait til the next time I'm back in town and can come back!

Amazing food and welcoming atmosphere! I grew up around the corner from the Persian Grill and my family would have dinner there a few times a year when I was a kid. As an adult, all these years later, it is wonderful to find them still in same location and the food is just as good as I remember. I brought my wife here for our 18th anniversary and it was simply perfect!

2025 update: Still solid choice for authentic tasting Persian food. --- Very authentic even though not owned by Persian. The rice was a little too buttery and the peppers were so blackened you couldn't even tell what they were. But... The kubideh kebab and jujeh kebab were excellent

I recently visited The Persian Grille and was thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with beautiful Persian décor and soft music that set the perfect mood for the dining. The staff was exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our meal. We started with the appetizer sampler. Each item was bursting with authentic flavors and served with warm, fluffy Persian bread that was simply irresistible. For the main course, we ordered the chicken and lamb shish kabob. Both dishes were cooked to perfection—the lamb was tender and juicy, and the chicken was flavorful and moist. The saffron rice that accompanied our meals was aromatic and complemented the meats beautifully. The portions were generous, and the presentation was elegant. To finish off the meal, we shared a cup of Persian tea. Overall, The Persian Grille exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of delicious food, excellent service, and a cozy ambiance makes it a good choice for anyone craving authentic Persian cuisine.

I recently had a meal there, and it was quite enjoyable. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive, which made me feel comfortable. As for the appetizer, I tried the Kashke Bademjoon, and it was good, with a nice blend of eggplant and whey flavors. For the main course, I ordered the Kabab Bareh Soltani with a side of garden salad. The presentation was nice, and the kababs were tender and well-seasoned, making it a satisfying dish. Lastly, I had the Saffron Ice Cream for dessert, and it was delicately sweet and refreshing. Overall, the restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere, and the food was enjoyable. I'd recommend it if you're interested in trying Persian cuisine.

Very good Persian food. It's a small cozy restaurant. Staff was very kind and friendly, explained the menu very well, and accommodated most special requests. Thank you! Food was good. Kabobs were really good, lamb chops being the star of the show. Chenjeh and chicken with bone were really good too. Tahdig with stew was not rice tahdig which was weird. All else was great. Will be back!
