Royal Kebab Persian Cuisine - St. Louis

Super friendly service and great saffron chicken shish kebab!

A great family restaurant that serves freshly made delicious food. Also, the staff are friendly and professional. I love this place!

The best kebab I’ve tasted, and Saint Louis really really fresh

The pros of Royal Kebab are that the restaurant has a very homely feel and leaves you at ease when ordering. Despite not being local food, the menu is easy to understand and their kebabs especially lamb and chicken are very tender, succulent, and grilled to perfection. The place definitely needs more recognition despite a limited menu because they know their food and provide you with excellent quality meat. Also, their food is halal which is a huge plus for Islamic followers since they don't have as many options available in and around St Louis. The cons are that the lamb portion is very little, the koobideh could be cooked a tad bit more because I've had Persian cuisine outside this restaurant and I feel this one lacked the tenderness and melt in your mouth texture. The chicken was amazing and I absolutely loved it. The service is extremely slow and lacks attentiveness. Also, the staff is young and not trained. The little boy who came to our table just left the water jug for us to pour and seemed to struggle a bit when asked for recommendations. I would recommend their carry out service over their dine in because it will cut short the waiting time. Also, if you're looking for service and ambiance this is definitely not the place.

I visited for my first gyro today with my mom and child, and it was absolutely delicious! The next time I'm in the city, I will definitely be stopping by again!
