Where Real Persian Cooking Still Exists
At Amoo's, we don't cut corners — we hand-select premium cuts of beef, lamb, and chicken, grind our koobideh fresh in-house from high-quality meat, use wild ocean-caught salmon instead of farm-raised fish, and prepare every dish with the same care we would for our own family. From the saffron and rice to the vegetables and open-fire grilling, every ingredient is chosen for flavor, quality, and consistency. That's why generations of loyal guests keep coming back. One bite, and you'll understand the difference.

A Persian Family Tradition, Perfected Since 1997
Amoo's was built by family, not investors — and for twenty-seven years we have cooked the same way we would at home for the people we love. Every koobideh is mixed fresh in-house from premium cuts of meat, every chicken skewer is marinated with real saffron overnight, and every grain of rice is prepared with patience, precision, and pride. We never believed Persian food should be mass-produced. That's why we use ocean-caught salmon instead of farm-raised fish, fresh vegetables delivered constantly for quality, and carefully selected ingredients that most restaurants would never spend the extra money on. Even our koobideh begins with high-quality whole cuts of beef, ground fresh daily in our own kitchen. Over the years, guests became regulars, and regulars became family. Some have been dining with us for decades, bringing their children, friends, and visitors from around the world because they know one thing: consistency matters. The flavor you remember from years ago is still here today.

More Than a Meal — A Persian Welcome

From the Skewer,
the Saffron Pot & the Persian Table
Six icons of Persian cuisine — the chelo kabab classics, the bright Shirazi sides, and the saffron-gold bastani that ends every meal right.

Koobideh
The king of Persian kabob. Ground beef filet hand-kneaded with grated onion and spices, fire-kissed until charred outside, impossibly juicy within.

We catered food for 40 people from Amoo's Restaurant, and it was outstanding! The chicken kebab, tender lamb, and world-class koobideh came in neatly packed trays - fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Amoo's is on another level. Family-owned, over 27 years in business, and truly the best Persian food around. Highly recommended!

The koobideh here is the best I've had outside of Iran — I mean that. Perfectly spiced, incredibly juicy, and the saffron rice is fragrant and fluffy every single time. This is the real deal, not a watered-down version. Amoo's is a treasure for anyone who loves authentic Persian food.

First time ordering from Amoo's. Food was REALLY delicious. Fresh and flavorful, beautifully presented, really good spice and flavor combinations. And big portions and good prices! I don't usually write reviews here, but Amoo's was a cut above.
