Kebab houses started popping up across Iran over 100 years ago, and continue to attract visitors from all over the world who want to experience the flavor and aroma of these perfectly grilled meats. Join Omid Roustaei as he takes you on a tour of the traditional Persian kebab house, complete with all the fixin’s. You’ll make kabob koobideh, a minced lamb kebab, as well as kabob barg, made from sirloin beef tips, and joojeh kabob, a chicken kebab marinated in yogurt and seasoned with saffron. You’ll also learn to make the dishes that accompany the kebabs, including basmati rice; naz khatoon (a tangy fire-roasted eggplant and herb spread); and sabzi khordan (a fresh herb platter with feta and radishes).

We understand that plans can change. When possible, we are happy to offer a credit or a transfer to a future event if we are able to fill your spot from our waitlist. Because our classes are small and ingredient-driven, this is not guaranteed and depends on demand and timing. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the event are not eligible for credit or transfer, as we are typically unable to fill those spots on short notice.
