Ehsani’s Hot Kabob offers a great dining experience with wonderful, fresh, and flavorful food. Everything we tried tasted well-prepared and high quality, with generous portions and authentic flavors. The atmosphere is simple and welcoming, and the staff are friendly, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. One small downside is that the place can get busy during peak hours, so there may be a short wait. Tip: Go a bit earlier if you want a quieter experience, and don’t hesitate to ask for recommendations—their kabobs and rice dishes are especially worth trying. A solid choice if you’re looking for fresh, satisfying Middle Eastern food.

The customer service was everything nice! The gentleman was very kind and patient with explaining the items in the menu since we’ve never eaten Persian food before. For date night it was pleasant, calming atmosphere, and for first timers the food was GREAT! Well seasoned and 1 plate was enough for 2 people (a lot of food and affordable) and the cucumber, tomatoe salad in lemon juice was fresh and refreshing full of flavor. Thank you to the staff and chef for a great experience.

Holy shit the kebabs were insane. EVERYTHING was perfectly cooked. As someone who usually gets kebabs that are dry and overcooked this really opened my eyes to how good things can be. The place is super low key but the food is the standout.

Excellent food, superb appetizers & sides, tasty authentic yogurt drink, very nice & friendly staff! Hot tea: ok Saffron ice cream: wouldn't order again All else perfect!!!

The food was absolutely outstanding! However, the experience was very awkward. We went there Monday at 6pm and we were the only people in the restaurant. It was dead silent. They did turn on music after about 5 minutes. There didn't appear to be any servers. I would just stand up and kind of walk towards the bar and holler for plates or bowls, etc. Everyone there was extremely nice but again, it didn't appear that anyone with server experience was present that day. Regardless, the food and the way it is presented are outstanding! The ladies carrying out the trays of food are very skilled and do an amazing job of putting on a show. The lamb kabob is without a doubt the best I've ever eaten. Perfectly charred and grilled yet amazingly moist and flavorful. The chicken was also ridiculously delicious and I'm not the biggest chicken fan. Also, the portions are enormous! We shared the kabob platter for 3 and honestly it could have fed 5 or more. If you want the best kabobs in Saint Louis, this is the place. We will definitely be back!

Ordered three combos for the family and everything was delicious. My daughter absolutely savored every bite—that's when you know the food is really good. But what really got me was how welcoming the whole place felt. The staff made us feel at home, and the environment was genuinely warm and inviting. Not just a "grab food and go" spot; you actually *want* to hang out there. Definitely coming back.
