Taste of Persia
Taste of Persia offers authentic, affordable, and delicious food. The small café is a great place to experience the diverse cultures of St. Louis. The service is warm and inviting and the menu includes a variety of dishes, including the falafel app ($7), which is a great choice and quite possibly the best I've ever had. The butter chicken was amazing....served with Zereshk rice ($20)- perfection. If you don't fill up on that... get some Sheer Berenj ($6) for dessert!! YUM! The service is efficient and the food is delicious. The restaurant is a great place to try different dishes and is a great place to visit on South Grand in St. Louis.
The food is literally microwaved. We heard the beeping/buzz sound (hoping he was just melting butter or something), but then the food came… Cold in the center, uneven temperatures, lamb skin that was definitely cooked prior, refrigerated, then reheated, and no juices in sight. Freshly cooked meats have fresh juice. Everything was microwaved from the fridge. I can do that at home.
The main dishes were great ????.
Personally I did not like the taste of Kashk E Bademjoon ( it does nit taste as authentic as I expected).
Moreover, I liked very much nostalgic vibe.
The place is quite clean but still there is room for better interior design.
Easily the best Persian food in St. Louis. I ordered the lamb shank and it was amazing. Extremely tender and flavorful, while also being a reasonable price. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
The menu offers a wide selection of food, from kebabs, soups, and other dishes. While i have only had meat options, there is a robust vegetarian selection as well. Definitely worth a visit!
Wow! This restaurant surpassed my expectations! It was delicious!! I liked everything about it. The atmosphere was simple with lovely music playing in the background and incredible aromas filling the air. The waitress was pleasant and efficient. I ordered the beef kabobs. The kabobs were unlike beef kabobs I’ve had in the past (see the photo) but they were filled with flavor. Absolutely delicious!
Everyone in my group enjoyed the restaurant. The food was amazing! I’m already planning my next visit.
I had no trouble finding a parking spot on the street. It was a nice evening with many people strolling in the neighborhood. We felt very safe.
Do yourself a favor and go to this locally owned restaurant. You won’t be sorry!!
Unbelievably good Persian restaurant, lovingly run by a husband and wife who add that personal touch to each and every dish they serve.
From personal, family recipes made with ingredients you've never heard of, to menu suggestions and sometimes even samples of amazing cuisine to help (make it harder?) to choose.
Will DEFINITELY be back, next time we're in the city.
The food here is absolutely delicious! Very calm, comfortable atmosphere. Service is wonderful and very kind. I have a friend who is from Iran and he would make us food. Now living in a different state I found a piece of home with this wonderful restaurant. I absolutely love coming here!
Very disappointed by the service. The young lady who was serving was rude and inattentive. Food was bland and lacked the flair typical of Persian food. I had lamb Shank with Qabuli Pulao that is so much better at Shameem Afghan Restaurant.
Edit: Increasing 1 star following the apology from the owner. Owner's attention is appreciated.
