Surena Persian Cuisine - Centennial

An excellent restaurant, the food is delicious and halal, and the service is great

I’ve been coming here for years and the food is outstanding. As far as middle eastern food in the Denver metro area I rate this place number one. The quality of all their food really shows, they also give you tea on the house and the waiters are extremely kind. The restaurant is also beautiful and very clean and the most friendly environment.

We had ordered several entrees and chose to have them family style. They were good but the sore point was that there was no sauce accompanying them. All the entrees were kind of the same: saffron rice with meat (just different shapes). Without the sauce, it wasn't satisfying even though the meat tasted good. We were told that we had to get the sauce through an appetizer. I wish we were informed of this when we ordered just the entrees. The deserts were amazing though. Giving an extra star just for that. The ambience was great as well.

All their kabobs are pretty good, only thing I would not order again would be lamb shank.

We had reserved a table for 20 people; when we showed up the table wasn’t ready. Then once our party arrived it took 25 mins to even get our drink order taken. Then another 30 mins to get our food order taken- we didn’t get our food until almost an hour and a half later. It took 2 hours in total to get our drinks and food. Then I was told they were running low on rice so the server talked me into getting their “upgraded” rice; which was rice with dill. It was disgusting. For the price they charge; I expected a lot more. Never going again.
