Farvahar Persian Cafe - Persian restaurant in Seattle - 1530 Post Alley, USA

Farvahars was wonderful! It's just a small restaurant in the market, but everything was delicious. I highly recommend the lentil soup! The owner was friendly and helpful and the prices were right. The next time I'm visiting, I will definitely go back.

Most delicious meal I’ve had at Pike Place! Incredibly warm and friendly staff who made us feel welcomed (they gave us a salad while we waited!) and the food was so tasty! You can tell it was made with expertise and love. We had the fesenjoon and baghali polo. Would recommend this spot to everyone!

It's been ages since I've seen a Persian restaurant and I'm so glad I found this one! I'm gluten and dairy intolerant, they were understanding and let me know what I could and couldn't eat. There were plenty of options! My son had the #2 and I had the #7. They were both very good and the price for the amount of food was very reasonable. The service was excellent, helpful and attentive! They went above and beyond. When I'm in Seattle I will definitely be back! My only issue was that this restaurant didn't come up when I did a search of gluten free restaurants. I was actually going to go to the Thai restaurant next door when I saw a sign for Persian food and asked if there was anything I could eat. When they told me yes it was an easy decision.

I'm surprised how people call that very tiny and dirty place a Persian restaurant or Cafe and share many beautiful photos!!! I found that on Google and because people posted good photos, I decided to go there and spend my time, I ordered Koobideh and chicken but the food was awful and I threw it out into the trash can. Although the owner had very nice behavior, but I request people to be honest about sharing photos and reviews.

This place lives up to its name and more. During my visit in Seattle this was one of the best meals and definitely the only best value for money and least expensive and most satisfying meal that I have had. There are plenty of spots around this little cafe that are really popular and have queues but if you haven’t tried this place you are missing out. Their ingredients are fresh and the food tastes amazing!! The owner/gentleman running this place is a wonderful man and super kind to everyone. He has a calming aura and was really hospitable to us when my mom needed a place to sit and rest for a bit as she was tiered walking. We had no intentions to buying food from this place initially and he was totally okay with it. He even offered my mom a bottle of water and said that she could rest there for as long as she needed. That was just fantastic as we weren’t necessarily getting that from other more popular spots that were either packed or just didn’t want a table to be taken or had the whole Covid agenda going on. It was nice to see humanity and someone empathising. Anyway, the next day we decided to give this place a shot, and man, we absolutely loved it!! My mom got the veggie platter with stew and rice which was amazing and we also got a chicken sandwich which was Delish!! Absolutely recommend this place not only for the amazing food but also to support this business run by kind wonderful souls.

The Koobideh was not actually a Koobideh, more like a Kabab tabei! Low quality sorry ( coming from a Persian ) Also, you don’t sprinkle Sumaq on the food because some people may not like it and it’s an optional side seasoning in Persian cuisine.

Got the Fesenjoon (chicken stew with fruit and spices, with rice) simply amazing. All the spices and fruit came together into this mouth watering deliciousness. I should add this is my first time eating Fesenjoon and I don't know much about Persian food, so I'm no expert, but it was scrumptious enough to make foodie me very happy. Definitely try this place. Even after taxes and tip the entire meal was $15.

The people working there were so kind and friendly. They gave me updates of time until our lunches came out. I had the number 6 - beef kabab with saffron rice and salad. It was delicious and there was so much rice. I tried my friend’s chicken (no. 4) and it was also yum.
