Isfahan Kabob has handled catering orders — large and small — since 2004. Trays are built for planning: a 10-skewer kubideh tray feeds a crowd at $65, a 5-skewer chicken breast tray runs $55, and a beef-and-chicken mixed tray covers both at $65. Add basmati rice (4 portions, $39), salads tray ($25), and mast-o-khiar tray ($25) to round out a full spread.
All meats halal. Menu scales to your headcount. No minimum order requirement listed — call to confirm your event details.
Isfahan Kabob opened in June 2004 at 3014 Union Ave in San Jose’s Cambrian Park neighborhood. It is a family-owned and operated restaurant. All meats are halal-certified. The menu has stayed focused by design — kabobs, Persian stews, lavash wraps, and meze, grilled and cooked to order.
The name comes from Isfahan, a city in central Iran known for its grilled meats and rice dishes. The beryani on the menu — ground beef patty served over bread, $17 — is a direct reference to the Isfahani style that remains rare in the United States. It is not on most Persian menus in the Bay Area.
Isfahan Kabob also donates meals to community members in need, a practice that has been noted independently by multiple customers over the years. Catering is available for private events, corporate lunches, and family gatherings — trays are pre-priced and scalable.
When we add something new to the menu or open catering dates for the season, this list hears it first. No weekly blasts. Just updates worth getting.
