3 stars is very generous for the food but the service was friendly and on point. I tried lamb neck, chicken kabob and koubideh. Koubideh was not good at all, the other two dishes were average. Overall not an experience that I would repeat or recommend.

It's an awesome place with delicious food. They could improve their business by enhancing cleanness and providing better silverware.

The manager is very not friendly! The kitchen sending food uncooked and the management doesn't take any responsibility for kitchens mistakes!Strange thing that the management blame the food issues to be hostess fault!The host is very friendly and helpful, as the server is the same!Atmosphere is divided into two different areas, near the kitchen is managements friends table and area, and the other side is guests tables which the manager doesn't care about at all!If the owner wants to be successful has to look into this issues.

Absolutely loved dining at this Persian restaurant! The food was incredibly delicious, bursting with authentic flavors that truly delighted my taste buds. Every dish was a masterpiece, showcasing the richness and depth of Persian cuisine. We had Adas Polo with mast-e mosir and Dough and we took Kale Pacheh home. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Can't wait to return for another flavorful journey!

The service was very nice. None of the food was bad at all but none of it was great either. Tried the chicken and salmon kebob and both were alright. Our server was very sweet and that was the highlight of dinner.

Excellent eatery tucked away in busy Clarendon. The owner is extremely friendly and made sure that our food arrived as soon as possible. He also made sure to check in with us to confirm everything was okay. The lamb sandwich was certainly the right move. It will come with an abundance of lamb, and healthy portion of side salad. Ive heard Persian food is all about striking a balance between the heavy and light components and kabob bazaar did great in this regard. Plus you will likely have plenty of left overs. The ambience is delightful too. When we were there a family was having a birthday party and for what it's worth, this restaurant would be great for that kind of thing.
Been a regular patron to this Iranian ?? restaurant for over a decade and it never fails to disappoint me. Very authentic flavor with gourmet quality food, great menu selection, all you can eat fresh baked flat bread (without any added sugar ?), reasonable prices, and great service with cool atmosphere. It certainly is my go-to restaurant when I’m craving for kabob the Iranian way. Also, when you’re there, please try out their ice cream ?for your dessert. I don’t have a sweet tooth, but it’s to die for.Highly recommended!

I always walk by this place and want to try it but didn't get around to it until a few weeks ago. Placed a pickup order and it was ready a couple minutes before they said it would so pickup was very fast. The employees at the door and the bar were both very friendly. We ordered the kubideh kabob, jujeh kabob, kashk-e-bademjan, and a side of shireen polo and plain basmati. The chicken was surprising juicy (I don't love chicken breast) but the kubideh was just a tad dry. Both had very very good flavor though and I would get both again. The kashk-e-bademjan (eggplant dip) was incredible and I will probably get this every time we go here it was that good. The shireen polo was a tad sweet for me but still really good. We want to try the other 2 specialty rices as well, but the plain basmati is hard to beat. It looks like it still has saffron and some kind of butter or oil on it, it was anything but plain, so good. Last thing is the portion sizes. 2 meals and 2 sides was enough for probably 3.5 meals for us so the portions were definitely generous Will absolutely be back to try more of the food!

The service was good. The guy who I assumed was the owner was friendly and had a "dad" vibe! The food was another story! I loved Ash reshteh and my husband loved his Kalleoacheh! But my Koobideh was mediocre at best! It was super dry and I had to eat it with a tone of sumac. I wonder why they named it Kabob bazzar while their Kabob is not their best suit!We will probably go back but I will order stew next time.Vegetarian options: Ash ReshtehMirzaghasemiKashk bademjaanKid-friendliness: There were some kids aroundWheelchair accessibility: It's on the first floor, no steps.

Stopped by there for lunch. I felt very welcomed, they recommended the chicken platter, and it was very good. Chicken was juicy and tender and not over spiced. The rice pilaf complemented the plate with the salad. Great spot for lunch.
