This was our first time here, and it was a great experience in every way, both the atmosphere and the food quality. We had koobideh and fesenjoon with saffron rice, and everything was delicious. The place is very nice and super clean, perfect for a weekend lunch or a gathering with friends. Omid and Aria took care of us and were both incredibly kind and friendly. We are very excited to have an Iranian restaurant like this in the area, and we will definitely be coming back with our friends and family in the future.

We have visited Cafe Ferdousi a couple of time and we always had a lovely experience. The food tastes incredibly fresh, and you can really tell they put care into every dish. The customer service is warm, attentive, and makes us feel very welcome from the moment we walk in. It’s a small, cozy café with a charming atmosphere, though the sofa seating is quite low, which might not be the most comfortable for everyone. It’s a bit costly but fair enough for the portion they serve. Overall, it’s a great spot for fresh food and friendly service—I’d definitely recommend stopping by,
And the Best drink is Coffee Glacé, if you love ice coffee with ice cream you should try it!

Café Ferdosi is an absolute gem. From the moment I walked in, the warm aroma of saffron and herbs made me feel instantly at home. The staff greeted me with genuine kindness and made sure I felt welcome throughout my visit. Omid is a very nice guy with a big heart that my day spiritually!
I ordered the koobideh kabob and ghormeh sabzi stew, and both were outstanding. The koobideh was perfectly grilled—juicy, flavorful, and tender, with fragrant basmati rice cooked to perfection. The side was tomato rice and reminded me of my parent’s cooking! The ghormeh sabzi was rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying, with tender meat and the perfect balance of herbs and dried lime.
The atmosphere is cozy and calm, with Persian music playing softly in the background. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy your meal, and truly taste the care that goes into every dish. I sat there for few hours after my food was done just to enjoy the time I spent in that restaurant! The

From an Iranian-American person, far from family, Cafe Ferdosi took me home from the moment we opened the door! Greeted with yummy smells of koobideh & Persian guitars, I was so happy to have found them! Authentic Iranian cuisine, from a wonderful Persian family, who cares to share the world’s best cuisine the right way! You could taste how fresh the ingredients are, with flavors that matched all of tastes of my mom’s cooking. We will be back and can’t wait to try more of our favorite dishes next time.

We ordered Vaziri and Koobide with doogh. Everything was great and fresh, and the portions were very generous. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality.
Café Ferdowsi is a wonderful place — the food was delicious, the atmosphere was nice, and the overall experience was excellent. Highly recommend!

A delicious meal, and great dine-in experience. The Joojeh meal was awesome, the chicken was juicy, and the saffron rice made a nice pairing. I had the ginger lemon, Persian teapot and it was a refreshing drink to have with my meal. I’ll be back. The baklava was also a lovely way to end my meal.
Very attentive and welcoming staff.

This is a hidden gem! Everything here is scratch made and it is evident in every bite. The chicken and beef and lamb koobideh were fantastic! Juicy, well seasoned, reasonable portions.
The hummus and dolmen (grape leaves) were so fresh!
It was my first time and it won’t be my last! I’m adding Cafe Ferdosi to my favorites list in Durham.

We visited from Colorado after having gone to Persian restaurants in several states ( much bigger and fancier) and were quite impressed! Since we mostly eat clean at home, our tolerance to typical restaurant food with rancid oils and such is low, we had no issues afterwards and the food was delicious. Omid is a delightful person who understands Persian hospitality and gave us a warning about the food taking longer to prepare for our bigger group. He also kindly gave us a tour of the center which was so prideful and inspiring.
It was a beautiful Autumn day so we all sat outside right after our grandson’s Persian class at the wonderful cultural center built and operated with love and care.
The babies tried Ash e Shologhamkar on special for the first time and loved it!
We got Vaziri Kabob with Zereshk Polo and herbs, all great!
Dont miss it in Durham! They have a great take out fridge too!

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Cafe Ferdosi. The kabob platter and baklava cake is homemade with the purest ingredients. And it’s made with love. The service was just as pleasurable. We’ll be coming back!
