Introducing Persian Food by Shali Restaurant
Part 2: Joojeh Kabab
Joojeh Kabab is one of the most popular dishes in Persian cuisine.
In Persian, “Joojeh” means chicken. Made with tender pieces of chicken breast or chicken thigh, the meat is marinated using various techniques, but traditionally with saffron, lemon juice, onions, and seasonings before being grilled to perfection.
The saffron gives Joojeh Kabab its beautiful golden color and distinctive aroma, while the marinade keeps the chicken juicy and flavorful.
It is traditionally served with saffron rice, grilled tomatoes, and a piece of butter that slowly melts into the rice.
For many Persians, Joojeh Kabab is a favorite choice for family gatherings, celebrations, and summer barbecues.
If you’re new to Persian cuisine, Joojeh Kabab is a delicious place to start.
We are Shali Restaurant — authentic Persian cuisine.
At Shali, you can choose between our exceptionally tender chicken thigh, prized for its rich flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture, or our chicken breast, prepared in the traditional Persian Takhteh-Kari style. In this technique, the chicken is carefully cut by hand into long, continuous pieces, creating a distinctive texture and presentation.
🌾 “Shali” means a rice paddy — a small tribute to the importance of rice in Persian culture and cuisine.
