Babajoon’s Kabobs & More...

This is by far one of the best and most authentic Persian restaurants I’ve ever been to. Every item is so delicious and full of flavor. I hate writing reviews and I hate Unilocal for the most part but this place is worthy of my time writing this. It’s that good. What’s just as fantastic is how quickly the food came out. I feel terrible for the people across the way eating at Hooters, about to blow up their toilets an hour from now. The gentlemen who own the place are here every time I come, always recognize me and say hello and are just the nicest people. I can tell they really care about their food. Love this place. Oh and on a humble brag note, we’ve been to Iran and the Middle East and this place is as good as any of the amazing restaurants we ate at out there.

I heard about this restaurant from a friend and had to try it. I am so happy I did! Great food, very friendly atmosphere, the energy was great! So much food that I will have left overs for a couple days. I will recommend to anyone!

I loved the food. It was fresh and well cooked. The chief came to our table and asked about our experience. The price is reasonable and the restaurant clean.
The only issue with me was to pay separately for bread and butter.

This place is awesome! The food is always fresh and cooked perfectly. The service is top notch for this style of restaurant. One of the owners is always there, if not both, and always comes out to personally check on your meal. Big fan of the kubideh and the torshi. Love the chicken plate at a healthy alternative for the kiddos rather than the seemingly standard choices of Mac n cheese, hot dog, pizza or chicken fingers. This is definitely my favorite place for fast, healthy options.

Ambiance and setting was good for a quick drive up and grab a bite to eat.
I’m not from Denver area, but compared to Kebab houses in other cities, food quality and flavor need to step it up.

I love this place so much!
I tried so many different restaurant here in Colorado and I’m happy i ended up to find this place, the foods and flavors! Omg that was what i looked for.
Quality, fresh foods, fair prices, that makes me to drive 25miles to come here and get my favorite food which is kabab kubideh… i love this place because they treat me as friend not just like the customer which is really important for me and others… I’ll strongly recommend this place!
Thanks babajoons

If you want authentic, delicious, quality Persian food– then look no further! This is surely not the place you’re looking for. If you want to pay an arm and a leg for pencil thin kobideh, then please help yourself. You have a wide array of choices– fine rice as dry as the sands of the Loot desert, salad as under dressed as the images of belly dancers in your mind, and bread that you can watch the owner make love to while you eat. The fresh bread looked good, but be prepared to pay for it! If you order mezze be prepared to eat it like pudding– per the owner’s suggestion. I highly recommend eating the dip this way, imagine your delight when you eat the Persian equivalency of nacho cheese with a spoon. Very underwhelmed by this place and wouldn’t be upset if they went out of business by the Persian new year.
To amend my review in response to being bullied by the owner– your policy is consistent with going to McDonalds and having to pay extra for your buns because gluten free people can’t eat bread. I urge you to revisit other Persian restaurants in the area and check your competition.

Touting fresh and healthy food, the owner was very arrogant about his menu. At competitor’s like Ali babas and Shiraz you get a bountiful feast for the same price.
Beware writing anything negative about this place! You will be bullied by the owner on both Unilocal and in your inbox!

The place is easy to find and I felt like something different so Persian food it is! I got the babajoon kabob with the garden salad and a ton of desserts including baklava and ice cream. The kabob was amazing an a great size, the beef was juicy and the Vegis had a wonderful char on them. The salad was fresh however I didn’t like the dressing but my friends do. It’s lemon juice, olive oil and mint. The desserts were all fantastic the baklava was flaking and the rosewater saffron pistachio ice cream was so refreshing and delicious! Highly recommend this place. Good price, big portions, delicious food.

Nice and friendly staff. Among Persian restaurants in the US this is definitely average. I tried Barg with rice and maast moosir. The kabob was tender and tasted ok, the rice was not good at all. The freshly baked bread was above average. Also the portions are relatively small.

I ordered the lamb kabob, and that, by itself, was fantastic. Unfortunately, it’s just the one skewer. I got the bread with the meal, and so I just had a kabob with a grilled tomato and three pieces of very dry flatbread. Not enough food, and it was very expensive for what I got. I’ve been examining the menu trying to figure out an economical way to eat here. I definitely want to, because the food was great. I just don’t want to have to go home and eat again afterward.

The food was decent but I didn’t realize I was over charged almost 10 dollars by the time I got home and looked at my total. The food isn’t good enough to get ripped off.

Got the lamb plate when we visited. The salad was huge, but not quite what I expected from the mneu. The hummus is wonderful.

Authentic Persian food like mom used to make. Excellent quality, service, ambiance, reasonable prices, very clean, sort of a mix between fast-​food and sit-​down place. I had the double Koobideh with an extra side of Mast-​o-​Moseer, and my friend thad the tomatoey chicken stew with berberry rice. The owners are very friendly. Highly recommended, and I will definitely go again and tell my Denver friends about it.

Having the chicken and beef kabob
Makhsus (Kubidehjoojeh) w side of rice.
I’ve also enjoyed the Lamb!!! baaahaha
Great food, and customer service

Terrible, ordered two kabob plates with a friend and they both came out raw. PINK… He insisted in cooking more food for us, and bring out another plate. By that time we grossed out and just wanted our money back. He claims that the health department considered the chicken cooked at 168 degrees and that he temped the chicken before he saw that the chicken he served us was in fact RAW.
Needless to say the health department was called, don’t waste your money.
Babajoons? More like a bunch of buffoons!

Really wanted to try this place for quite some time and today was the day!
Amazing customer service — friendly and walked us through the menu. I was a fan of the photos and description.
Selection — broad! Three lamb dishes alone to select from. Although I went for the Harris Ranch Beef with rice and a side of Hummus and Bread. The best hummus I have ever had. Ever.
Chicken Kabob was tender and juicy and cooked to perfection.
Garden Salad with fresh and lemony.
We will soo be back.

I have eaten at Babajoon’s several times now and it has always been stellar. The food had slight variations as to be expected when it is cooked to order from fresh ingredients. The place is clean and the staff is friendly and accomidating. (They welcome dogs on the patio and give them water too — bonus!)
It is located between Tokyo Joe’s and Qdoba — two diluted «ethnic» chain resturants reheating mass– produced foodstuffs. Do yourself a favor and walk past those places and try some real, cooked food. If you are new to Middle-​eastern food (this place is specifically Persian) give it a try. Its a little hard to pronounce but you probably know all the ingredients with the exception of a few spices and it’s way, way better than the offerings from their neighbors.

Once again, we tried this place based on the rave reviews on Unilocal!They did not disappoint. The service was top notch. The owner spoke to us for the entire time we awaited the completion of our takeout order. He also advised us to come in and try the food in person stating that the food loses something once you put it in a box. He also recommended the salmon kabobs for our next visit stating that they were some of his favorites.
We elected to share the beef and chicken kabobs. They came with a side of rice seasoned with saffron and a grilled tomato, a slice of lemon to squeeze to taste, a cup of hot sauce (best on the chicken) and a cup of Tadzhik sauce for the beef. The beef was tender and well seasoned. It was set off remarkably well by the Tadzhik sauce, simply delicious. The chicken was, in both of our opinions, just average. It was a bit dried out and not seasoned in a way that was particularly savory. The saffron basmati rice on the other hand, YUM! The grilled tomato didn’t add much and my son, he’s 15, said it was gross. I’ll chock that up as an unsophisticated pallet… ;-)
The place was a cozy little place with Persian décor. It was well kept, clean, not cluttered, and well appointed.
We’ll be going back to try the salmon kabobs. 4 stars because I cannot rate it a 4.5 based on the chicken. The rest of the experience was a 5 all the way.

After watching Anthony Bourdain eat Persian food, I was so hungry that I immediately started searching for something in Denver. I found Babajoon’s and bookmarked it. Last night I came with a friend to sample. This is a fast casual concept so it was but a mere glance of what I assume Persian food to be and taste like.
I ordered the salmon skewer which was perfectly cooked salmon. The rice was a little under salty for my taste but a quick dash of salt got it to my preferred level. The salmon and rice were very good together although not a unique flavor profile. I also ordered the eggplant appetizer which was absolutely delicious and like nothing I’ve had before. I paired this with the home made bread which was a little like Indian naan with the fluffy pieces but an altogether more yeasty flavor. The combination was delicious and what I would order again in the future.
Service was fast and pleasant with an employee coming to clear our plates when we were done.
