Essy's Kabob

Essy's Kabob restaurant is a true joy for fans of Persian cuisine. The menu's star is their flavorful kabobs, with the Chelo Kabob Barg and Kebab Koobideh stealing the spotlight. The restaurant's warm atmosphere and friendly staff add to the inviting atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for casual meals and special occasions. From silky appetizers like Kashk-e-Bademjan to refreshing Mast-o-Khiar, Essy's Kabob promises a delicious and original taste of Persian flavors in a welcoming setting.

First time there for lunch. Food was for to-go. Guy was super nice. Took the time to explain the food and make recommendations. Ground beef kabob and rice was super moist. Dolmas was good. Portion was big. Service was fast. They don't have lunch price/ portion menu as suggested on Yelp. Would still highly recommend though.

I ordered a take home Koobideh, Barg, and Josh Soltani. To start with, the rice is perfectly cooked, the tomato is well charred, and the extra grilled green pepper brings a prefect meal to a new level. All the meat is perfectly seasoned, tender, juicy, and has the perfect taste that I was craving for such meal. The quality of the meat is awesome, has no bad burned after taste, and prepared with care and love. My kids are picky eaters and they loved everything. The owner, whom I believe is also the Chief, is the most pleasant man you can meet, and absolutely can bring the name back to the Iranian food with pride to Sacramento. The Best Kabob in the World to me now is not just a name, it is what I got and missed here in Sacramento for over 20 years.

I ordered Ghormeh Sabzi, a beef, kidney bean, and green herb stew, with Baklava for dessert. The beef was very tender, the flavors very good. Got it for take-out since it was 25 minutes to close. Otherwise, I'd have loved to eat at the restaurant. It's small, quaint, homey, and very clean. The gentleman who took my order was pleasant to talk to. The experience was quite enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend this place and will be back. Went back a few nights later. Ordered chicken kabobs this time. They were even better than the stew.

Absolutely the best food I've had since working in Sacramento. I was blown away by how delicious the food was, you can truly tell it was made with love and with a passion for feeding people. I got the number 8 and had no regrets at all, the best of both worlds, chicken and beef! It's definitely worth the price and very filling! I can't wait to come back here, thank you to everyone here
