★★★★ Great place that serves traditional Shawarma (Beef/Chicken) on a open charcoal horizontal spit. Seating is upstairs, with access to clean washroom. Located in a older neighborhood but with parking access on the street for 2 hrs with any any cost. Food was good because it has charcoal flavor. Owner was nice in accommodating exactly what we asked for. Wraps are thin and delicious in Sage bread which is thin version. They do serve pita bread but the sage bread was great also. You can ask him to not toast it too much because it may get slightly hard for kids to eat. Other option is to ask in the pita bread. We ordered whole chicken with extra spice which was great, takes over 30 mins so plan accordingly. Portions were adequate for the family. Otherwise no complains. Posted on July 23, 2019

★★★★★ This is the best fast casual Persian restaurant in Irvine. It's not super fancy. It's not somewhere you would celebrate a special occasion. But it is a nice spot to go to for lunch. AND, just as important, it's open later than any other Persian restaurant in the area. And the (casual) service is just excellent. They give everyone complimentary tea/chai. Each order comes with a huge freshly baked bread. If it's not crowded, you can just sit down and play a game of backgammon for hours. I take my co-workers here all the time. Again, not super fancy, but if you're feeling casual Persian food or late night Persian food, this is the place. Posted on July 15, 2019

★★★★★ Muslims/tourists of Orange County: Have you wandered on to this site, looking for a nice Persian restaurant to try out? Look no further. Trust me. Go here. The food is amazing. The space is worthy of any occasion, no matter how fancy. I cannot recommend this place enough. Moreover, the restaurant is owned by a devout Muslim, there's no alcohol, and there's no doubt everything is halal. You may ask yourself--is there anything that separates this restaurant from the scores of other Persian restaurants in Orange County and LA? The answer: A resounding "YES!" Aside from being among the most high quality Persian restaurants in the area, this is the only Persian restaurant I've been to in OC/LA that has "rack of lamb"/shish lik, which is probably the most popular kabob in high end kaboberies in Iran. I would say this is probably the most high end Persian restaurant in Orange County that doesn't serve alcohol. As a result, it's a bit more expensive than most Persian restaurants. For my family, our go-to place to carry out Persian food to eat at home is Hatam in Mission Viejo (super high quality, also a nice place, but a bit more affordable), but Woodfire Kabob has become our go-to Persian food spot for dine-in special occasions.

★★★★★ I rarely give 5 stars. To me, 5 stars means the food was absolutely amazing, restaurant environment was nice, and the staff was pleasant. I've grown up in the United States and have had zabiha food from coast to coast. These burgers are some of the best zabiha burgers I've had in a very long time. The staff was great as well. My only regret is that it isn't closer to us, and that we didn't get more burgers to go. We will definitely stop by if we drive to Vancouver again. Posted on July 13, 2019
