Esther's Persian Cafe

I found a place to get Persian food when I am homesick!! I got the hummus with pita, ghormeh sabzi (herb stew with beef) with Tahdig (crispy rice), beef koobideh skewers and loved it all. The ghormeh sabzi stood out to me. The flavor was so so good. And the crispy rice that came with it was nice and crunchy and such a good pair with the stew. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu! 10/10 recommend!!! Especially if you are wanting a warm and hearty meal on a cold day.

First time at Esther’s though I’ve been meaning to try it for years. We started with the hummus and Turkish coffee. The hummus was one of the best we’ve had and we loved the extra oil drizzle. They provided a lot pita and it would be great to get a bigger serving of the hummus but we enjoyed the rest of the pita and olive oil. The pita was cooked perfectly- a little crispy and soft inside. The Turkish coffee was on the sweet side but robust. We asked about the cucumber yogurt dip. It features mint and one of our friends didn’t eat mint and the owner who waited on us and cooked the food to order offered to make it without mint. It was very refreshing and also served with pita bread. For our entrees we ordered the lamb shank, chicken kabobs, beef koobideh and chicken kabob combo and eggplant

Tasty Persian food! The kabobs were delicious with some authentic dishes like biryani, which were also great and fun to try!

Brought my in-laws here to try some authentic Persian food, and definitely chose the right spot to do it! I was so happy my FIL got to try some high quality lamb shank with baghali polo (had to request this as a substitute for plain white rice). Mr. Reza was so sweet. He was running the show solo and doing it impressively well. Just be patient and mindful that it may just be him working but the wait will all be worth it. The gourmet sabzi was good. Definitely made me feel at home away from home. ♥️

Grabbed lunch at one of my favorite places today Esther's Persian Cafe, with a friend. Started with the hummus (the best ever), I chose the Ghormeh Sabzi and my friend went for the Gheymeh eggplant. While waiting for our food we were treated to a new item they are considering putting on the menu, yellow carrot juice. We both gave it a thumbs up and received some great antioxidants for the endeavor. We said that if it doesn't make the menu, we want the option to order it in the future. Ended the meal with baklava for myself and my friend went with Turkish coffee. It was a great afternoon to catch up, relax, and enjoy some downtime in a very busy season.
