Saba Grill continues to impress! Take my advice: get the Baghali Polo (dill-flavored rice with fava beans)! The dill adds a delightful but very mild flavor and the rice and beans are both soft but not mushy. It could be a meal by itself! I tried the chicken koobideh but decided I like the chicken breast skewers better: better seasoned and juicier, though the chicken koobideh is good too. Since there was a BOGO I tried the Zereshk Polo (rice with barberries) too: it was good but was slightly sweet, almost like cranberries or pomegranate arils, and the Baghali is way better IMO. I also previously tried the Shirazi salad which was fine but I thought it needed more tomatoes and fewer cukes and smaller onions and less oil and more seasoning. But overall, Saba Grill is great!

Koobideh Kabob arrived very dry, not very good.
Shallot Yogurt (Mast-o-moosier) came in a little rameken, for $11? and tastes like tzatziki i dont even think its mast-o-moosier.
Tahdig with Stew they canceled the order, and said out of stock. Yeah right..and that was the main dish I was hoping for.
very disappointed.

Wow! What a great surprise! I took a chance on this place because I saw they had BOGO deals. As I was unpacking the delivery, I saw they had given me a chicken breast skewer not a Chicken Koobideh like I ordered. Then I noticed that they had marked the Chicken Koobideh as Sold Out, and had already refunded me the money. So I guessed the Chicken Breast skewer was a consolation. Thanks!! I usually prefer the chicken Koobideh for its seasoning, but I was pleasantly surprised at how juicy and seasoned the chicken breast was! The beef Koobideh wasn't as seasoned or juicy in my opinion. The basmati rice I ordered was also tasty and not dry, and it was great to have so many grilled tomatoes (great price!) to help "saucify" the rice and meat. I will definitely be ordering from this restaurant again!

Got the salmon fish kebab and it smelled very fishy and tasted a little fishy. I didn't have any stomach trouble from it though. I hope that was an unusual occurrence but I won't be ordering the fish again. I also ordered the veggie kebab and was disappointed in it too. The veggies had no seasoning whatsoever. There were only about 5 mushrooms, tons of onions and bell pepper, and about 8 hard zucchini chunks. Very disappointing. I mainly just ate rice and some tomato.
