Menu
Diyar Persian Restaurant has rapidly established itself as a premium purveyor of Persian cuisine in the Klahanie neighborhood, sitting on the border of Issaquah and Sammamish. Operating daily with late hours until 10:00 PM on weekends, the restaurant specializes in meticulous, high-quality meat preparations that justify their premium pricing.
The Kebabs
The menu is dominated by massive, highly technical Kabob Plates and Combination Platters. The Koobideh (ground beef kebabs) and chicken kebabs are consistently highlighted by reviewers for being extraordinarily tender and moist — an impressive feat that holds even for takeout orders. The Barg Soltani ($39) pairs filet mignon with koobideh for the best of both worlds.
The King Platter
For groups, the massive King Platter ($89) serves 3–4 people and includes chicken kabob, beef koobideh, barg, and cornish hen — a feast that showcases the full breadth of the kitchen’s skill.
The Rice
The saffron rice deserves special mention. Perfectly cooked with individual, distinct grains, it is frequently cited as the best saffron rice in the entire region. The hummus is similarly exceptional — highly smooth and mild — and is paired with traditional flatbreads.
