Always a great dinner here! The service is always on point and this place is by far our favorite Persian restaurant in Sacramento!

Tried theirs stews (Fesenjoon, gheymeh, and ghormeh sabzi) and they were all pretty good and authentic home-made style. The staff were super helpful and friendly as well.

In my long ago omnivore days I used to be a regular at Famous Kabob, enjoying skewers of kabobs and mounds of rice sprinkled with sumac. Sometimes I would even drive across town during a lunch break just to have their amazing Kashk-e-Bademjoon and grilled naan. When I went vegan I thought I would never get to enjoy Famous Kabob again, but someone somewhere posted that they now had a vegan-friendly section of the menu and I immediately alerted one of my favorite dining companions to join me. It's been many years since I set foot in this Persian gem, I cautioned, but we were both more than willing to give it a shot. Like in a time warp, Famous Kabob has not skipped a beat and I couldn't be happier. The dark wood booths and giant chandelier remain and so do the familiar smells of saffron, cardamom, and mint. I devoured the Impossible Koobideh Kabob and thought to myself wow, if only more places seasoned plant-based beef this way... it was so delicious! We dug in to the eggplant dip (sans the kashke to keep it vegan) and it was just as flavorful as I remembered. I sipped hot tea as I added extra sumac to my Persian rice and marveled at how damn good this place is. If you haven't tried this Sacramento institution yet, you're doing your tastebuds a disservice. And don't let the Fulton Avenue strip mall location sway you. This one's worth the drive.

This is still my go to place for amazing Persian food, The Famous Kabob. The restaurant is spacious with ample seating, the servers are courteous, friendly, and great at what they do. The chicken and ground beef kabobs are so tender and juicy plus it comes with a roasted tomato , Jasmine rice, naan bread, and we order the eggplant appetizer and the lentil soup. These are all my favorite dishes. I find myself savoring every bite. Please give this restaurant a try, you won't be disappointed. Happy eats to all my foodies.

First time at Famous Kabob Went with the family and no one was disappointed. Friendly staff,food was served hot and fresh. I ordered the chicken and beef combo and the flavor was amazing. If you are in the area it's worth giving Famous Kabob a try.

First, let's talk about what sets them apart: their signature naan. This isn't your standard flatbread - their traditional cooking method creates this irresistible crispy-yet-chewy texture that will ruin you for all other naan. Pair it with their dip trio, and you'll understand why I drive across town for this alone. The chicken lineup here is so delicious. Their chicken kabob and saltoni achieve that mythical level of juiciness that most places only dream of. Each plate comes with perfectly seasoned rice, and pro tip: spring for the half salad add-on. The fresh, crisp contrast elevates the entire experience. Service here is refreshingly polished - efficient, warm, and professional. In an industry where great food often comes with mediocre service, Famous Kabob nails both. Must-try: - Pot-cooked naan (order extra, trust me) - Chicken kabob - Chicken saltoni - Dip trio appetizer

Located in a strip mall on Fulton and Hurley The parking lot in front of the building is a tight fit. I do worry about careless people opening their door into my car. On the back of the menu is the vegan/vegetarian section where you'll find The Impossible Koobideh. You can have rice or salad or half and half and it also comes with a broiled tomato. I haven't had the salad so I'm not sure if it comes dressed or what type of dressing or even if the dressing is vegan. I've only had the rice. Flatbread and pads of butter came after I ordered. These items are not vegan. Impossible Koobideh is solid though.. I recommend adding an extra tomato. That may differentiate if I have a salad instead.. we'll have to re-evaluate with another visit. Love that there's a vegan version and also, it's available on DoorDash. I had good service and the place looks like they can accommodate a large party..

We came back here after a few years because I remember how great the fresh naan tasted. And I was not let down. I really love that they bake their naan fresh and is served complimentary. The place looks updated since our last visit and the servers were super attentive. I got the beef filet kabob and my family ordered the beef koobideh wrap, chicken barg kabob, and marinated chicken kabob bowl for my 9 year old. The flavors were very good but lacking some savory seasoning I've had at other Persian restaurants. Overall I would love to come back.
