About Bulleen Kebab

Bulleen Kebab grills authentic Persian skewers over hot coals, serving tender koobideh alongside saffron-scented rice. Regulars come for the traditional charcoal offal—especially skewered del o jigar—and the option to select cuts before they hit the grill. Plates arrive stacked with charred tomatoes, sumac onions, and warm flatbread. While orders cook, staff pour glasses of hot Persian tea fragrant with dried rosebuds and cardamom.

  • Signature Koobideh Plates: Tender minced lamb skewers char-grilled to order, paired with buttery saffron rice and charred tomatoes.
  • Traditional Del o Jigar: Skewered lamb liver and heart cooked over charcoal and served fresh with hot bread.
  • Warm Persian Hospitality: Complimentary cardamom- and rosebud-scented hot tea served while food is prepared.

  • Authentic Charcoal-Grilled Kebabs and Saffron Rice

    Skewers of minced lamb koobideh and chicken are grilled tender and paired with buttery, fragrant saffron rice and traditional accompaniments.

    The meats were perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavour. The saffron rice was exceptionally light, fluffy, buttery, and aromatic.

  • Cardamom and Rosebud Tea Service

    Traditional Persian hot tea brewed with cardamom and dried rosebuds is served in authentic style with sugar cubes to welcome diners.

    The Persian tea was served in the traditional manner, accompanied by sugar cubes on the side, just as one would expect in the Middle East. Delicately infused with cardamom and dried rosebuds, it was both fragrant and comforting.

  • Doogh

    The doogh, the Persian version of ayran, was lightly sparkling and beautifully balanced, with a refreshing hint of dried mint.
