Cafe Ferdosi

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 If you’re in Durham and want authentic Persian food made with heart, Café Ferdosi is the place.
