Alfarsi Restaurant serves Persian and Mediterranean food in North Center, a neighborhood spot built around charbroiled kabobs — beef, lamb, and chicken koubideh, filet mignon chenjeh, and saffron-marinated jujeh on the bone — alongside lamb chops and salmon or shrimp kabobs. Appetizers run through hummus, baba ghanoush, dolmeh, and muhammara, and the vegetarian section lets diners build a combo from dishes like kashkeh bademjan, eggplant steak, and falafel. Rice sides include cranberry polo and dill rice alongside the standard white rice and fries, and entrees can also be ordered served over fresh Persian bread.
Regulars point to the quality of the meat, generous portion sizes, and the Persian bread and rice as standouts, and describe the staff and owner as a friendly, familiar presence at what many treat as a hidden gem near the surrounding homes. The restaurant has been covered by The Infatuation.
