    I have tried every Persian restaurant in the state and this place by far is the best! We tried the joojeh and the kubideh and both were excellent! Every thing is made with the freshest ingredients, great quality! We loved it so much we ordered some stuff to bring home! The house Doogh was also delicious- I just kept wanting more and more! I want to try everything on the menu and I can't wait to come back!!!

    Babajoon's is a fast casual kabob restaurant on the skirt of Broomfield & Westminster on 120th. Very good, fresh food. We were looking forward to hummus and pita but were talked into a gulash-like side dish with pita and it was amazing. Then the chicken kabob with the tomato cucumber salad was the freshest, most flavorful meal we have had in this area. For the price, service, and quality - out of the park. Definitely recommend.

    It's a fast food setup, order at counter and they bring the food to you. Food is good but it can be a lot better. The service was fast due to the fact that they pre prep/cook food for lunch rush. The bread was warm, but hard it had been sitting around and reheated. The Kobiedah had a warm surface but the middle was cold, it had been pre cooked & reheated. The Chenjeh was freshly prepped and good. We had the Shirazi Salad and Babajoon Salad both very good.

    We were in town from California hoping to get some great Persian food and we were not disappointed when we came to Babajoon's! As someone who has had kabobs in places like Westwood (the center of Persian food in LA), I was really impressed how good their kubideh kabob (ground beef kabob) was. Juicy, perfectly marinated, and went perfectly with the puffy bread they make homemade in their clay oven. Hands down one of the best kabobs I've had! I wish these guys had a restaurant where I live.

    Coming from someone who is Persian and eats Persian food all the time, Babajoons kabob are some of the best I've ever had! I had the koobideh with the stone fired bread and salad and it was perfectly juicy, moist and not overcooked. Look no further for the best kabob in Colorado!

    I hear what people are saying about expensive...it is a little. But I think the food is very good. Had steak kabob with bread...asked for about medium rare...came out about medium. I can live with that. The service is also very good. Been there three times, will go back.

    Outstanding! Quick, clean, and delicious - just what this business traveler from afar was looking for in a lunch place!

  • Jason D.

    So first off, the service was great. The food tasted average. Nothing eye popping or amazing. But my biggest complaint is the value. $24 for lunch for two and all we get is one kabob each, that aren't even that big. Mostly rice and salad. Gotta punch my pennies and not come back here again.

    Went in here for lunch with two co-workers, but decided it was a bit pricey for lunch and ended up next door at Tokyo Joe's. I decided to give it a try for dinner, and had the sweet and sour chicken special with cherry saffron rice. Rice was excellent, except for what I assume was a piece of a cherry pit (glad that I didn't chomp down too hard). Chicken was tasty, but a little too dry. The service was order at the counter, but delivered to the table...confused about whether this was a waitress who works for tips or not! I will probably try this place again, although I think lunch is over-priced. And baklava is way over-priced!

    Came across Babajoos today headed to Tokyo Jos for lunch. First impression was great! We where immediately greeted by a man whom I believe to be the owner he was very friendly and offered suggestions of what to try...I got the chicken with the Babajoos salad and my husband got the beef with salad. We also ordered a side of the bread (huge portion) and the spinach and garlic dipping sauce. Everything was fantastic we will definitely be back for more! Hoping to try their rice and salmon next time.

    I came here for lunch today for the first time. I am not familiar with Persian food. I know much more about Mediteranean food and Indian food so maybe this might have affected the two star rating. I ordered the stuffed bell pepper with yellow rice. To me it tasted bland. You would think it would come with other veggies (onion, squash, carrots, etc.) It came with a side either bread or yogurt. I choose the bread. Too much bread with nothing to dip it into (boring). Lets recap: I paid $9.00 plus tax for lunch for only two small stuffed green bell peppers with nothing but yellow mushy rice with not much flavor and no veggies and too much bread with nothing to dip it into. It came with a very small already seasoned salad (two bites with nothing but iceberg lettuce, no tomatoes, no cucumber). I could have done much better at Qdoba next door for half the price!

  • Casey P.

    Not used to this kind of food, and looking at the menu...I had no idea what to order. Decided to try their special: sautéed white meat chicken over barberry basmati rice. It was amazing! Chicken was perfectly juicy and tender and fell apart when you ate it! No idea what "barberry" sauce is, but now I'm a huge fan! So yummy! Staff was also very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back! :)

  • Franky S.

    In town from out of town, and looking for an alternative to the heavy pub food and bar smell for lunch. Saw Hooters, don't need that place, so I wandered into what turned out to be a new place Babajoon's Kabob's. Persian food. What a nice surprise. Clean, friendly owner, attentive waitress, nice decor. The owner is happy to explain all the dishes and how the menu works. I had the fish kabobs (Norwegian Salmon), and a chicken all over saffron rice. It was very good. I'd definitely go back if I lived in this town. Check this place out for lunch.

  • Scott P.

    My gf and I stopped in and were surprised by the great food we got. I had the king's meal, with 2 meats- strips of beef and a ground meat kabob thing. My gf had the chicken and liked the taste and juicyness. The rice was good and the portions were pretty large. We wanted some hummus but they don't have that, The waitress suggested an eggplant dish, which was kinda along those lines. It was kinda like a eggplant marina in texture. I dislike eggplant, so it wasn't for me but my gf loved it! Only 4 stars as it is pricy. We will be back but only when our wallet allows for it.

  • Chris W.

    Fantastic Persian food. My wife is from Iran, and I've actually been there as well, and I can say that this is pretty close to what you get there. You could come for the freshly baked bread alone. Everything we've had there is great. I'd recommend getting a side of Mast'o Khiyar - a type of yogurt - if you get any of the kabobs, or simply to dip your bread in. The Mirza Ghasemi - an eggplant dip - is great with the bread as well. If you're looking for something aside from kabobs, try Ghaymeh Bademjoon or Gormeh Sabzi - both traditional dishes done well here. My only complaint is that the prices are a little steep. But the food is quality and tasty.

  • Catherine W.

    Yum! What a refreshing change from the regular healthy food options. I will be back for more!

  • Brian B.

    Awful. I ordered the Jeeja Kabob and a salad. By the time I picked out the mystery meat in my, count them, 4 small pieces of chicken I barely had a meal left of chicken that had an "off" taste, and not from the spices. 1 star for the very friendly woman behind the counter and another for the salad which was fresh and tasty.

    I've been waiting for this place to open. Tried it today and was not impressed. Compared with other middle eastern food in the area it is lacking.

  • R G.

    Ate lunch there today for the first time. LOVED the service, LOVED the food, LOVED the attention we received!!! The food was tasty and the portions were large. Split one kabob and side, with my daughter and we both ended up full. Will definitely return to try more of their amazing food. NOT your usual place to dine and a welcomed change for this area! The dining room was comfortable and the staff was outstanding, helpful and attentive. Expand your normal and try this wonderful restaurant!

    Great service, great food. Fresh, fresh, fresh! Had chicken kebab with a great cucumber, tomato and onion salad and to-die-for bread. Service was wonderful- attentive but not intrusive. Definitely a keeper!

    I saw this place while going to Tokyo Joes and decided to stop for some take out. So happy I did, everything is made to order and they were very helpful in telling me about the menu. Both my husband and I were very happy with the food! Loved the bread OMG!! Highly recommend this place!!

  • David M.

    I would probably give these guys 2.5 stars if I could. I feel bad giving a 2 review on this place but man this place is expensive for what you get. I got a kebob, with a small side salad and nan type bread with a yogurt dipping sauce and a fountain drink. 18 bucks! Everything besides the salad is al la carte. That means after 10 bucks for the kebob and side salad you pay 2 bucks for the bread, 2 bucks for the drink and 3 bucks for the yogurt. The sizes are pretty skimpy too. Kind of highway robbery. This is a meal that would cost 8-12 bucks at the local mom and pop shop and everything would be included. Not much meat on the plate either and it was kind of bland as others have stated. Plus for 18 bucks I should probably get a waiter and not have to order at a counter and get my own refills. I like supporting local businesses, but move to a smaller shop, cut your prices in half, include everything in the meal and I will be a regular. Too much good ethnic food around denver that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

    Great food very fresh & authentic! Both the beef and chicken were juicy and flavorful - the cucumber salad was crisp and had a great lemon dressing. Extra star for the super friendly service. Will be back for sure!

  • Naghme N.

    We have been to this restaurant twice. Being Persian, I had high hopes and was not disappointed... the food tasted like home! The food was excellent and you can tell that they use only quality ingredients. It's wonderful to have access to an authentic Persian kebab place without having to worry about where the meat comes from! My husband and I tried their koobideh (ground beef kebab- my favorite), barg (my husbands favorite), and joojeh (chicken- also very good). I also loved their torshi (pickled vegetables) that tasted fresh and home made and not like they were bought in store. We loved the fresh baked bread that was made to order. We'll be back soon. Also, I though the prices were reasonable and food portions appropriate.

    (5)
  • Chris D.

    Awesome, interesting food and great service. I always appreciate when they are sympathetic to people who don't know the food well. In this case we didn't know much about Persian food. Very good prices relative to freshness and quality too. Definitely going back.

  • Anthony G.

    Seriously amazing Persian food. Amazing owners who know the food well and really concentrate on making every person feel welcome and well served. They have all natural beef which is delicious and their veggies are so flavorful and fresh. Really clean atmosphere and friendly employees!

  • S N.

    I love persian food and this restaurant is the best! I love the fact that they make lavash fresh and that they have such a variety on the menu. The pricing is a bit up there but for a specialty cuisine, I can't complain. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. The kubideh is delicious and I quite enjoyed the ghormeh sabzi. The ghormeh sabzi is almost as good as at home. They have Sumac to put on the rice as well at each table which is nice. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you like persian food and a friendly atmosphere.

  • Jude D.

    Nice atmosphere, good service. However, my chicken kabob tasted and smelled fishy. I am guessing they grill the chicken and fish in the same area of the grill. Seemed pricey for what you get. Not the best experience, but I will definitely give it another shot.

  • Patricia J.

    Great new restaurant in Westminster. Fresh, healthy food. Owner is super nice. The bread is made to order and fabulous. Owner told us the do not own a fryer or a freezer. Rice was cooked perfectly and the dolmas/grape leaves are perfect. Highly recommend this place! And hope they are around a long time.

  • Dawn W.

    Really wanted to try this place for quite some time and today was the day!! Amazing customer service - friendly and walked us through the menu. I was a fan of the photos and description. Selection - broad! Three lamb dishes alone to select from. Although I went for the Harris Ranch Beef with rice and a side of Hummus and Bread. The best hummus I have ever had. Ever. Chicken Kabob was tender and juicy and cooked to perfection. Garden Salad with fresh and lemony. We will soo be back.

  • Dave A.

    Thanks Babajoon's (Kam and Robert)! I phoned in an order for 8 people the night before a family party and they were very accommodating. I arrived to pick it up right as they opened for the day and they made suggestions and packaged it family style for us. As usual the food was great but on this visit they really took it to a new level with great customer service. Kam even called after we left to offer instructions how to best dress the salad. Top notch everything at Babajoon's.

    First of all, I'm half Persian. I've been looking for a good middle eastern restaurant in the Denver area, since I'm moving here in June 2014. This was the first middle eastern place I've tried so far, but it definitely did not disappoint. Standard, traditional Persian fare. Nice staff. Potential room for a party. If you have a palate for Persian, then try this place. I had the sultani, and my girlfriend tried the badamjon. Both of us were pleasantly surprised at the level of authenticity, preparation, and value. Definitely try this place out for some exotic variety!

    Great atmosphere! Earth tones. A quiet relaxing place the night my husband and I came. Relaxing guitar music. LOVE the hot Persian tea with a mint leaf. We enjoyed our beef kabob plate and chicken plate. Friendly owner! Signed up for the frequent user rewards tonight. Owner let us leave flyers on the counter for an event we are hosting. That shows community connection. :-) we'll be back!!

    As a Health conscious Persian who loves to cook, and grow my own veggies and herbs ... I recommend this place specially for the Koobideh and Shirazi salad and Hummus plate which are worth every penny. I love the Persepolis Inspired Bas Relief doors and how clean the place is, owners are nice people too. You can get cheaper Food with the same names elsewhere but the meat may come from a factory farm ... Also proud of them for not using Styrofoam for take out!

  • Sa M.

    I'm Iranian and their Kabob is by far the best I've had in Colorado. The Barg kabob I got was fresh and easy to chew..lol If you like Persian food you should try this place. Of course, it's not Alborz or Nayeb. But it's really good.

  • Dehlia C.

    I loved everything about this place. The staff/owners are wonderful people who really want to make sure you have a great experience. They will explain things to you if you're unsure, and generally are just very pleasant and inviting. Everything I had tasted amazing, like a home-cooked meal. I ordered the Joojeh kabob, but got to taste the beef plate as well. The hummus was fantastic and you really can't beat that bread. I also really appreciate that they go the extra mile by using quality ingredients, something I wish more restaurants would strive for. I'll definitely come back.

  • A Marie J.

    I ordered the chicken kabob. It comes with one side. So I ended up ordering bread and a salad which are extra. The meat on the kabob was dark thigh meat. I expected breast meat. The flavor was ok. The flavor on everything was a bit under seasoned. Had to use hot sauce and salt. The bread was fresh and delicious though. The service was friendly. I just feel the prices are a bit steep for what you get.

  • Nelson M.

    We ate there a few days ago while in north denver. They serve persian food in a very casual fashion. The food was great. Lightly seasoned, fresh and delicious. The service was fast and good. Lamb kabob was excellent as was the chicken. Note they serve no alcohol. For us it was a light, healthy, great place to eat after a tiring day on the road.

  • Stephen E.

    menu confusing, and we have eaten at a number of Mediterranean restaurants for many years. more highly priced than it's nearest competitor. meals don't include humus nor pita bread. you have a choice of only bread or rice. no salad. gyros not cooked as thoroughly as i like but that is a personal preference. chicken fairly spiceless. a lot of basmati rice but we've certainly had better basmati. overall a boring but expensive meal due in part to the confusing menu. Service however was good.

  • Megan T.

    Great, authentic Mediterranean food. This was our first visit, and the staff was very helpful in explaining our various options. We ordered the chicken and beef combo meal and it was outstanding. Wonderful flavors. The restaurant has great ambiance and the food is amazing. Highly recommended. Try the hot tea.

  • Amanda G.

    The food here is excellent. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the owner we spoke with was very knowledgable about both the food and Persian culture. If you like rose water, the baklava and pistachio saffron ice cream desserts are amazing! And don't forget the hot tea in an authentic Persian urn.

  • Micaela H.

    Not usually in this neighborhood, and we were looking for something more interesting in the sea of chains; this place might just be worth the trek. Don't be deceived by the strip mall location, this is not a chain, but an independent shop where the food is high quality, healthy and tasty. Hubby and I had the chicken and salmon kabobs between us, both well-seasoned and grilled tender without being dry. And we couldn't say no to the mouth-watering baklava. Can't wait to come back and try more.

  • Tomoko K.

    Hands down the BEST Kubideh I've ever had! I met my friend who is married to a Persian man so she knows Persian food. She recommended this place. Her son said the kubideh is comparable to what he has had in Iran. We started with Ghaymeh Bademjoon (eggplant, beef, tomato stew). The meat was fall off the bone tender it just melted in our mouths. Big chunks of eggplant were equally tender and soaked up the seasoned (but not overboard) stew. We also tried the Mirza Ghasemi, and eggplant, garlic and egg mixture that I slathered all over the homemade, still hot out of the oven fresh bread. I was surprised to learn the Ghasemi had egg in it. It's not "eggy" in any way. For our entrees, we ordered the kubideh and barg (beef strip) kabobs with rice. The barg was tender, juicy and flavorful. But the kubideh, I'll be dreaming about for a LONG time. It's really that memorable. The portions were generous and they don't skimp on the rice. The basamati rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Being Asian, an appreciation for perfectly cooked rice is in my DNA. We finished our meal with the Zoolbiya & Bamiyeh pastries. The Persian version of a mini funnel cake and donut hole with a honey and rose water glaze. The sweets perfectly complimented the mint tea served in traditional Persian fashion. Sugar cubes are placed between the teeth while sipping the tea as it passes over the sugar cube. I'm already thinking about my next visit to Babajoons and I'll be dreaming about the kubideh. Yes, I think about food that much.

  • Chris P.

    I have eaten at Babajoon's several times now and it has always been stellar. The food had slight variations as to be expected when it is cooked to order from fresh ingredients. The place is clean and the staff is friendly and accomidating. (They welcome dogs on the patio and give them water too - bonus!) It is located between Tokyo Joe's and Qdoba - two diluted "ethnic" chain resturants reheating mass- produced foodstuffs. Do yourself a favor and walk past those places and try some real, cooked food. If you are new to Middle-eastern food (this place is specifically Persian) give it a try. Its a little hard to pronounce but you probably know all the ingredients with the exception of a few spices and it's way, way better than the offerings from their neighbors.

  • Heather T.

    After watching Anthony Bourdain eat Persian food, I was so hungry that I immediately started searching for something in Denver. I found Babajoon's and bookmarked it. Last night I came with a friend to sample. This is a fast casual concept so it was but a mere glance of what I assume Persian food to be and taste like. I ordered the salmon skewer which was perfectly cooked salmon. The rice was a little under salty for my taste but a quick dash of salt got it to my preferred level. The salmon and rice were very good together although not a unique flavor profile. I also ordered the eggplant appetizer which was absolutely delicious and like nothing I've had before. I paired this with the home made bread which was a little like Indian naan with the fluffy pieces but an altogether more yeasty flavor. The combination was delicious and what I would order again in the future. Service was fast and pleasant with an employee coming to clear our plates when we were done.

    Once again, we tried this place based on the rave reviews on Yelp! They did not disappoint. The service was top notch. The owner spoke to us for the entire time we awaited the completion of our takeout order. He also advised us to come in and try the food in person stating that the food loses something once you put it in a box. He also recommended the salmon kabobs for our next visit stating that they were some of his favorites. We elected to share the beef and chicken kabobs. They came with a side of rice seasoned with saffron and a grilled tomato, a slice of lemon to squeeze to taste, a cup of hot sauce (best on the chicken) and a cup of Tadzhik sauce for the beef. The beef was tender and well seasoned. It was set off remarkably well by the Tadzhik sauce, simply delicious. The chicken was, in both of our opinions, just average. It was a bit dried out and not seasoned in a way that was particularly savory. The saffron basmati rice on the other hand, YUM! The grilled tomato didn't add much and my son, he's 15, said it was gross. I'll chock that up as an unsophisticated pallet... ;-) The place was a cozy little place with Persian decor. It was well kept, clean, not cluttered, and well appointed. We'll be going back to try the salmon kabobs. 4 stars because I cannot rate it a 4.5 based on the chicken. The rest of the experience was a 5 all the way.

    We were looking for something different for dinner tonight and found Babajoon's on a google map. It's close by so we figured we might as well give it a try. I got a salmon kabob with dill weed rice and a roasted tomato. My husband has the beef kubideh. We were both very happy with our meals. Portion sizes were big, we both split it into two meals. The kabob and rice were simple and delicious. I didn't get to try the kubideh, it looked good though! We tried to order online to pick up the food but the website wouldn't let me put the order through. It said my address was required but there wasn't a place for me to put my address in. I mentioned it when I called my order in and was told that the manager would be told about it. When I came in the woman at the front counter asked if I was there for the pick up order and then told the manager I was there. He came out and asked if I would be willing to call the guy working on their website because there seemed to be things getting lost when he calls them with a customer's story. Of course I was willing to help out so he gave me a free hummus and bread to use next time I came in. Even the guy I called about the website issue was friendly and took the time to listen to what I said and offered a solution for me to try along with saying he would play with it a bit based on what I said.

  • Steve M.

    This place deserves 7 out of 5 stars. I have been here probably 35-40 times since it has opened, and the quality of the food has been outstanding. My top recommendations are: Kubideh, which is a beef kabob; Hummus and bread (which they make from scratch in-house); Chenjeh, filet medallions. The salmon is also terrific, a newer item. My mother-in-law, who is Persian, makes (to me) the best Persian food I have ever tasted. However, Babajoon's is RIGHT there, especially the Kubideh. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The owners are very kind and accommodating, and of course, friendly. The only thing I don't like about Babajoons is that since we moved to the other side of Westminster, it's not as close as it was! I'm hoping they open another location soon.

  • Angi B.

    You always get bonus points from me if I ask what I want and the server has an answer. The owner actually talked us through the options and we ended up with a great meal. The lady who brought out our food explained everything on the plate and offered suggestions. The owner came out at the end of the meal and offered suggestions for next time based on today's selections. That's excellent service in my book! We'll definitely have a next time.

  • Joe C.

    Last time I was here I ordered take out. Two of my orders had rice that was totally wet and mushy. Something that looked like yogurt on the bottom. It was not yogurt. I called and let the owner know about this. Since it was snowing, I opted to have my rice replaced on next visit. Today (next visit)... I had to explain this 3 times to get them to comp my side order of rice. Quite pissed off frankly. Half my fish was also over cooked and dry. I will not be returning.

    Delicious Persian Food! I got the kubideh with rice and it tastes just like the authentic Persian food I had in Iran. My only regret is that I discovered this place just now! I will be recommending all my Persian friends to come here for a great tasting meal. The service is also great and the restaurant is very clean. I signed up for the rewards program cause I'm sure I'll be back!

    I was excited to try a newish place with new cuisine. There are a lot of options. I had the chenjah and it was delicious. The portions are huge and shareable. My friend and I ordered way too much - and ended up both taking leftovers home. Everything is homemade in house and all the ingredients are fresh. It's a little pricey but it's worth it for the fresh ingredients and generous portions. The thing you MUST try... the babajoon's ice cream. It's made with saffron, pistachio and rose water - I think they should put them in pints and sell these. Just amazing. The service is friendly too. The staff gladly makes recommendations about seasoning, what to get, etc. All and all, this is worth a visit or two. If you're not hungry, at the very least, stop in for the ice cream.

    Yes this establishment is located in Village at PARK CENTRE, Westminster, Colorado. After running some errands in this neighborhood, we decide to have Dinner here. That recent visit was on Friday March 14th 2014. Time was about 18:30hrs. This establishment is situated next to Qdoba on its right, and on its left is Tokyo Joe's. Man at that hour, this vicinity is DEFINITEY Jam Packed especially the Parking Lots! Yes, this establishment has their own "tandoor" oven which they make their in-house breads aka "Lavash". Yes, you order at the counter and they will given you a "NUMBER Token" and they will sent your order to where you are seating. We decide to seat ourselves on the High Tables with High Chairs aka Bar Stools, which is facing the Car Park and The Patio. There is also some seating areas at the Patio and also a Private Room available inside this establishment. I wanted to order the Eggplant dish, but the staff at the counter said, they removed this item from their Menu. *Sigh* From what I could recall we ordered the following items : * Shish Beef with Dill Rice option ($9.95) * Chenjeh Kabob With Beef Chunks and Basmati Rice option ($12.95) * Noono Paniro Sabzi aka Salad with Mint Leaves, Olives, Feta Cheese ($5.99) * 2 Fountain Drinks ($3.78) If I am not mistaken our order also comes with their Special In House Made Breads that looks like "Lavash" or "Nan-e Lavash". Thankfully when we arrived and ordered, it was before the DINNER crowd. We managed to get our food at about 18:53hrs ish, but the Special In-House Made Breads aka "Nan-e Lavash" were give ONLY after we finished our Main Entrée. *SIGH* The Noono Paniro Sabzi, is a Salad that comes with Thick Julienned Cucumbers, Chopped Tomatoes, 3 Mini Black Olives, 2 Green Olives, A Bunch of Mint Leaves, 2 Mini Squares of Feta Cheese, 3 Radishes, on top of Shredded Lettuce. For our Main Entrees, some of the Vegetables were over-charred resulting in burnt taste. Hubs order comes with Beef, 1 Onion Wedge, Zucchini, Green Bell Peppers, option of Rice with Dill, Charred of Half Tomatoes, One Lemon Wedge and Shredded Lettuce. My Main Entrée comes with Onions, Beef Kabobs, Cucumber of some kind, Charred Tomatoes, a Lemon Wedge and Shredded Lettuce. Overall, the food were indeed Underwhelming for our personal taste. The Service from the Owner was 4 stars, but some of the staffs still need to make sure who ordered what, and they should know, which order goes to which table etc etc. With $36 for Dinner, I feel DEFINITELY, There IS ROOM for Improvement, especially with regards to portion, and the flavor of the food. Maybe we are NOT exposed to this kind of Cuisine. NOTHING WOW us at all. *DOUBLE SIGH* *SAD FACE INDEED* Hence this is a Generous 3 Star Review. Left the establishment about 19:30hrs.

    I wanted to check this place out because Someone from work said it was a healthy yet fast option. I ended up getting a steak kabob with a salad. I was honestly a little skeptical because I hadn't tried any of the sauces before but decided to go for it. It was great! I love all the different flavors and my co worker was right, it is healthy. They make everything fresh so it takes about 7-10 minutes to get your food after you order to go which isn't an issue. I think this place is new because there weren't many people there during the lunch hour. I would be happy to see more people go check it out.

    Was feeling like a rice bowl day today, but noticed that the place next to Tokyo Joe's finally opened. I enjoy kabobs, I too am a meat popsicle, and damn I am good. Went inside, was greeted right away by what I presume to be the manager since they only opened Saturday. He handed me a menu to read and made a couple suggestions, good guy. I ordered the beef kabob with an extra skewer and basmati rice; price was acceptable albeit a bit on the higher side for lunch. It took about 10 minutes for them to prepare my lunch since everything was made to order. They even have this drum looking clay oven thingie to bake the bread, very authentic indeed. The manager offered me free hot tea while I wait, once again, good guy. At any rate, the food was really tasty! It came with two halves of a grilled tomato (I don't do tomatoes personally, but meh), and a side of shredded lettuce. Personally I think they'd be better off if they did without those or replace that with some grilled onions and peppers if the customer chose rice instead of bread or salad (you can choose your side with your entree); but to each their own. I also would have loved, loved it if they had either baba ghanoush or hummus available with it. That would have definitely added another star. tl;dr - in haiku form tasty beef kabobs grilled over an open flame would go back again

    I haven't been able to visit Babajoon's in a while, but I loooove this place. Everyone is always extremely friendly and the food is quality food, which I don't find to be the case at most restaurants anymore! I have taken several friends and family members here and they all feel the same way (:

    From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed. I had never been here before so I was open to any suggestions from the staff. They were kind, informative, and very helpful. The ambiance was relaxing and comfortable. The food was fantastic. The baklava and hot tea were an exquisite ending to a fantastic meal. I will surely be back again.

    Just came here tonight for the first time. We got to speak with the owners and hear their whole concept behind this restaurant. First of all the food was outstanding. It was fresh cooked with great ingredients and had great flavor. My son had their version of the gyro, I had the special which was spicy chicken with basmati rice. Will definitely be a regular.

    Portion sizes of bread and yogurt side sauces generous. A bit skimpy on the meat. Must ask for berry-lemon spice to put of food for flavor. Super friendly staff, clean, relatively quick. Pricey for lunch. Basically to get meat, veggies on bread with a sauce put me back $13.00. No drink. Too much to eat for lunch, but might be doable to split with friend for dinner. Food was a little bland, but the sirloin chunks were tender. I will probably try place again in a month or two after they have had time to make adjustments. With a few tweaks I could give this place 5 stars.

    I'm Persian and my husband and I really enjoyed our meal here. We ordered the Mirza Ghasemi appetizer with the fresh Babajoon bread, the Babajoon doogh, the Koobideh and Chengeh meals. Everything was excellent. My only compliant was the dill rice - I was expecting the typical dill rice that I've come to expect from Persian restaurant with lima beans and fresh dill. This was dill weed rice with garlic! I wasn't a fan so I would recommend sticking with the white rice. I was a little surprised to see noon paniro sabzi on the menu for $5.99 - seems really expensive since that is typically free at Persian restuarants - but I guess I can understand it since it's more of a quick-serve place. As much as it doesn't feel like a true Persian meal without it, I couldn't get myself to spend that much on bread, cheese and herbs! The Koubideh seems like the best value and was seasoned very well. The place was very clean and the owner and staff very nice and attentive. We will definitely be back!

    Drove by this place a little over a week ago. Wasn't to sure about it. My parents and I decided we were going to grab a bite to eat for diner. My mom does not try new things (she wanted Tokyo joes) I changed my direction and both my parents followed. We were all glad we did. The service was great everything you order is fresh. You can see them throw it on the grill. We sprung for it all rice, bread, and salad. We were all able to share I love the simplicity of the food but don't let it fool you there is tons of flavor. Rice is amazing. Salad was a salad but even then they make it with the simple ingredients. THE BREAD OMG they make it fresh in a clay oven if you're on a no carb diet us this as your cheat it's so good really heavy though. The menu is a little confusing which the manager is open to opinion. You get meat, rice or salad or bread... prices are a little high but I was always taught you get what you pay for. And here you get fresh and organic. If you want cheaper prices go next door to the knock off Mexican food or knock off Japanese restaurant. Just my opinion. Try it you'll love it.

    We stopped here for lunch to check the place out. The place was clean, the menu was clear with lots of pictures, and there was plenty of seating. I ordered the hummus and pita and a chicken kabob. My friend ordered the beef and chicken combo and added a chickpea salad. We also tried the yogurt soda. All of our food was delicious. I probably would not do the yogurt soda again, but that's a matter of taste. The meat is hormone and antibiotic free, so you pay a dollar or two more for that, but we definitely thought it was worth it. It's very easy to eat gluten free, dairy free, or just about anything free here. You can order a la carte or get a combo plate. While the food is cooked to order, this place offers fairly fast food without all the downsides of "fast food." I'd recommend it for anyone who's health conscious or if you are having a business lunch and don't know if anyone has food allergies. There's also a private dining area.

    Very friendly and clean, warmly decorated. Nice saffron rice, juicy chicken, fresh salad, lovely freshly made bread. Too bad we were just passing through Denver. Would definitely eat here regularly if we lived in the state. They were very nice to my bratty kids even!

    I have this place another try because I liked how fresh everything seemed and thought if I gave the menu a try the way that they set it up I would like it. I got the lunch special beef stew with rice for 7.95 which is very reasonable for lunch. It's so much rice and to add a salad is way too much food for one person at lunch. I have to say my mind is not changed. I am dying for some sauce, something to give a little flavor that's not going to add on four bucks to my tab. The only free condiments are salt pepper and a paprika mix on the table that adds color but no flavor. I also had the menu explained to me and most items are 5 oz of meat for $10-12 with one side (rice or veggies or sauce). You can add 3 or 4 more ounces of meat for about $4 or add rice or salad or sauce for $4. Even a piece of pita bread will set you bake like $3.50. The food has tons of potential but the owners should open there eyes to why I am the only person on here for lunch at 12:30:( Also, the same friendly guys who explained the menu to me before he took my order (maybe the owner) sat down for his lunch while I was having mine. He had some rice a little salad, just normal portions of each on one plate, and he started eating then went back for some sauce. Heeey yooouuu! We want the same thing that you want for lunch:) I have to say the staff is sooo friendly and even brought me some tea on the house when I was finished with my meal. They seam passionate about the food they serve and the quality of it. I really want them to make it!

    Close but no cigar. Stopped in for a lunch as we love Mediterranean food. Read previous reviews about being expense. Figured, how bad could it be? One kabob (which was tasty to their credit) with salad or rice or bread just seemed lame. Went with the ground beef kabob with salsa and added bread and a sauce. Wife did the same and split the sauce. Add one drink and we just had ourselves a $29 lunch. The food is really like a 3.5 to 4 star rating but the value is a solid 1 star. A bit of rice, a small salad and a half portion of bread with sauce (why is this not included?) and id pay 10-12 bucks. Just to touch on the good the bread is delicious.

    I am Persian and I will tell you this place makes amazing authentic Persian Food! I had the Ju-Jey(chicken) kabob which was cooked perfectly, so juicy and tasty! I also had a fresh garden salad and a skewer of rusted veggies! I will be back many times!

    I found this place yesterday next to Tokyo Joe's. I wasn't sure about the place at first, but I got this beef kabob with all natural "Harris Ranch Natural Beef". Man I love it when a place has natural / organic beef and is a locally owned place. It's been open for 5 days as of yesterday day. The service was fantastic, they even gave me a free tea. The kabob was awesome, had a similar taste to a meatball, but it was very good. I got a greek style cucumber yogurt, rice and a tomato. This place is FANTASTIC. I would come here in a heart beat. I'm taking my wife here for dinner Saturday night. This place has fish, chicken and beef / steak kabobs. It was awesome!

    Let me start by saying that I am a Persian food addict! I am not Persian, but I have been learning about, cooking, and eating Persian food for about 20 years. Sadly, Denver has been wanting in the tasty, affordable and unpretentious Persian food genre for quite some time. . .Not anymore! I have eaten there a few times since they opened about a week ago (yes it is that good). Everything is fresh and cooked to order. The staff, although still learning the ropes, is very enthusiastic and helpful. The owners have greeted me every time as soon as I walked through the door, and they clearly are excited to present their food and their new restaurant. Babajoon's Basmati and Saffron rice (Chelo) is light, fluffy and buttery. Topped with either the chicken or filet kabob (Barg), it is heavenly. Their Koobideh ground beef kabob is also very tasty. It is lightly seasoned, so you can taste that is made from quality beef. I highly recommend the mast-o khiar (like a tzatziki) with the kabob. Delicious! Additionally, I tried their daily stew specials. They serve a yellow split pea stew flavored with tomato, turmeric and saffron, with what I think was a little dried lime common in Persian cooking. Absolutely heaven. My Mom and I particularly enjoyed the Mirza Ghasemi, which is a flavorful, rich, and smoky egg, tomato and eggplant dip, served warm with their homemade bread. They even have an authentic Tanoor oven! Another tasty treat, is the vegetable Torshi pickles. Picture a tart, tangy, and herbaceous giardiniera, made from Mama's secret recipe. . .To die for! Finally, they have my favorite Persian frozen desserts! Babajoon's pistachio, saffron, and rose water ice cream is out of this world! I always get this and the rice-noodle and rose water ices known as Fallodeh. With a squeeze of lemon, it is wonderfully refreshing. I get both and share with a friend because I can never decide which one I want. If it sounds like I am gushing over this restaurant, I guess I am. I have not had decent Persian food since I quit my job in a Persian restaurant in Monterey. Babajoon's does not disappoint! *A note about Persian food: it is not the same as Arabic and Greek food. You will not see hummus or baba ghanoush there, so don't expect it. There are however some wonderful and tasty dips that go perfectly with the delicate and subtle flavors of lime and saffron that flavor much of the cuisine's dishes.

    It feels like they maybe opened a little prematurely. Or something. The website is not yet functional. The menu confused me with options that seem inconsistent from item to item. Some come with rice, some come with salad, some you have to choose. Bread is either an included option choice, or you have to pay for it separately. The service needed constant supervision from the owner who was super-friendly and hospitable. The food took a while to come out, too. All this said, the food blew my mind. I like Middle Eastern food, but I never expect high quality meat or unique flavors. Here, I was eating a gourmet meal. The chicken was insane, and so was the beef/eggplant dish. They also have salmon on the menu, which is not my thing, but I know it's a preferred option for many people. All and all, I felt as if I started out giving pity sex to a short and geeky blind date but who then gave me the best orgasm of my life. Nice surprise. In retrospect, it's a bit pricey as compared to other restaurants of this type--at least for all the options not included. And, as someone said previously, some hummus and maybe falafel would be nice on the menu, too.

    Decided to try this little gem as we were craving Mediterranean food. As soon as our family walked in we were greeted by the owner. He was very friendly and welcoming and explained the driving concept behind the restaurant. I saw that they had a stewed lamb special and just had to order it. My wife ordered kabobs and we got some kids meals with chicken and rice. The lamb meat was very tender and took little effort to fall off the bone. The broth the lamb meat was in was also amazing. The flavor of the broth made you realize just how long they had to cook it to render such a depth of different flavors. My wife also thoroughly enjoyed her kabobs. The vegetables were fresh and cooked well. All of my kids loved their chicken and rice. Throughout the meal one of the servers checked on us periodically to make sure our needs were met. Overall if your looking for great home style mediterranean cooking then this is the place for you. Great food and great service! We will definitely be coming back here as often as we can.

    I was grabbing some lunch and decided to try this place that just opened. The customer service was amazing and I highly recommend the beef kabob, was so good. Just be aware that if you order the chicken it was a bit fatty so I would ask for it to be as lean as possible. I will defiantly be back though.

  • C M.

    This place is great!! True, you will pay a little more for your plate than you would at the neighboring Qdoba and Joe's but that's because the quality of food is MUCH better. Personally I don't mind paying the extra 2 bucks for better quality, healthier, food! Must try the kubideh, so delicious! The last time I went I also had this artichoke dip thing, can't remember the name... FANTASTIC with the homemade bread and meat! Lastly, tried some rosewater, pistachio ice cream, SO GOOD and so unique! You can't find a place like this anywhere else!

    I eat out for lunch almost every day and have a lot of dietary issues. I love this place. If you want a good healthy and tasty meal, delicately seasoned fish or steak kabob, basmati rice, grilled vegis, side dish of raita, etc., try Babajoon's. I try to get there once a week and have never been disappointed.

    I wasn't too impressed. I have been in the Denver area for 2.5 weeks eating out almost every night. This is probably the worst meal I've had, even Wendy's was better. I ordered the chicken and beef, just didn't enjoy the meal at all.

    We live down by Alameda, so we are not often that far north. However, we made a special effort to get to Babajoon's on Sunday so my son could have lamb shank, one of his favorite dishes. He was thrilled with perfectly cooked, tender lamb in a tasty tomato-based sauce. We were grateful to the lady on the phone who said she'd be sure to save him a lamb shank since we could not get there until after a meeting. Another thing we loved was the vegetable kabob - the veggies tasted so sweet and good with a little char on them! We enjoyed the Persian tea given to us. It was aromatic and really delicious. The whole meal was excellent. Even though it requires a special trip, we will be back!

    Had the beef shish kabob to go, $12.81 with tip. Roughly a 30 minute wait so call ahead. The dish was flavorful but the protein serving was only about 6 oz. I would get a second kabob next time but then the cost would be just under $20 which is not a good value in my opinion.

  • Tyler L.

    If you are looking for traditional middle eastern food Babajoon's is the place to be! The menu is small but every item on it is incredible. All of their food is gmo-free, farm-raised, fresh and organic! They're understaffed but the restaurant is pretty small so it's not an issue. I recommend the koobideh, sabzi, and mirza ghasemi.

  • Andy R.

    I think they just recently opened, but no complaints so far. Uniquely presented, and there appeared to be a few menu items such as stews that I hadn't really seen in other kabob shops. The bread was exceptionally good, and the regular shish kabob and baklava (apparently made with very potent preserved lemons) were awesome. As other reviewers have mentioned, I don't believe baba ghanoush or hummus are on the menu, but definitely recommend.

  • Tanya D.

    First visit today, super pleased! I ordered the special, tart/sour chicken with cherry basmati rice... Delicious! Hubby ordered beef kabob, also yummy. Both dishes were very flavorful. The staff was extremely helpful, nice, and attentive. I'll definitely return!

    My partner and I have been going to this place since it opened and it goes beyond my expectations. We have both spoken to the owners which are very health conscious and nice. Since I am vegan it is nice finding a place that doesn't slather everything in butter. My dogs even like the bones they give us from the lamb they serve. I highly recommend everyone try this place. And for the reviews I have seen with the comments about not having hummus, they do actually have it, just not on the menu.

  • Mehdi R.

    this place has one of the best ( Mediterranean-Persian) food you could get! the owners were so friendly and nice. we had a great food without knowing what we would get after skiing all day, tired and craving Persian on the way to airport! living in Houston have raised our expectation so we did not expect to get as good as we get in H town, So we looked up a few reviews and decided to go to Babajoon since had the highest reviews on Yelp by far!. The food and environment were excellent. desserts were so yummy. we will definitely go back anytime we head to Denver for Ski or other reasons.

  • Kiela T.

    This is really good food! The meat is succulent & tender, and while the food takes just little longer than most strip mall type joints, you can see it being prepared fresh. The service was courteous, and I can tell the owners take pride in their heritage.
