Persepolis Is a Persian/ Mediterranean restaurant with a dynamic atmosphere and 20 years of experience! The restaurant is famous for verity of kebabs and refreshing salads and gently spiced grilled meats. The yogurt and cucumber blended with a little mint is made exceedingly well and is an ideal cool compliment to Persepolis’ rounds of Pita & Barbari bread. Our kebabs which include moist and delicious salmon or saffron chicken are served without heavy sauces. Instead they are served with a choice of four rices including an intriguing blend of Basmati rice and marinated sour cherries. Our personalized wine list truly compliments our cuisine. We also offer a full classic bar.
We look forward to seeing you!

    A perfect experience. Ambience, food and service are all excellent. Portion sizes are generous. I loved my Cornish hen and my son his lamb shank.

    the appetizers were very good. Especially the yogurt and cucumbers. The entrees were fair at best.But the lamb shank, that was recommended by the waiter, was absolutely disgusting. It looked like and tasted like it was boiled in water. No seasoning and no gravy and tough to boot.It never should have left the kitchen.
