My husband and I went there for dinner last night. The food was amazing. The waiter very kindly told us that the portions were huge and that it was perfectly acceptable to split a meal, which we always appreciate. Our waiter was excellent but he had a lot of tables, so he didn’t really come back much after we got the food. Understandably not his fault.. Would definitely go back again.

Very expensive for what you get imo. The food was bland. Not full of the delicious aromatic flavors from Persia at all. Very little seasoning. I was rather disappointed. I expected so much more. If you are going to be named after Persia, hit us with the captivating herbs and spices from that beautiful country. I can't justify spending the crazy amount of money I did there and being served such unseasoned food.

If you are visiting Scottsdale, AZ the Persian Room is a must visit dining experience. Reservations are a must as this is a very popular and busy restaurant. Parking is limited; ride share is a good option. The staff is very friendly and helpful if you are not familiar with Persian food. Persian food is very fragrantly spiced but is not spicy. The Tah dig is a must have appetizer and no meal is complete without hot tea to finish the meal.
