About This Place

Ahmad's Persian Cuisine, located at 4646 Dodge St in Omaha, NE, is a genuine culinary gem that brings the rich and aromatic flavors of Persian cooking to life. This Persian restaurant offers an authentic experience that touches all senses, from the fragrant spices lingering in the air to the beautifully presented dishes that are as inviting to the eyes as they are to the palate.

The menu at Ahmad’s Persian Cuisine is a treasure trove of traditional favorites and unique flavors. Standout dishes like the Tehran Chicken—tender chicken marinated in saffron, lime, and a blend of 12 Persian spices—deliver a soulful depth of flavor that lingers pleasantly with every bite. The Soltani Kabob and Shish Kebab are grilled to perfection, showcasing smoky, juicy meat that simply melts in your mouth. For lovers of hearty and comforting meals, the Potato & Peas Poloe combines the earthiness of potatoes and green peas in a savory tomato and onion sauce that wraps you in warmth and satisfaction.

Appetizers here, such as the creamy Hummus and smoky Baba Ganouj, are not mere starters but an enticing prelude to a feast, served with soft lavash bread that perfectly complements each dip. Don't miss the Dolmeh, which features cabbage leaves stuffed generously with ground beef, vegetables, and lentils, all bathed in a fragrant tomato sauce that elevates this traditional dish to something extraordinary. For dessert, the Baklava provides a sweet, flaky finish that feels like a warm embrace.

The atmosphere inside Ahmad’s Persian Cuisine is as remarkable as the food. The restaurant’s inviting interior blends Persian and Western architectural elements, creating a warm, elegant, and culturally rich setting. Whether you’re enjoying a relaxed lunch or a leisurely dinner, the ambiance enhances the sensory journey of the meal.

From the moment you walk in, the hospitality stands out. Ahmad, the gracious host, crafts each dish with care and greets every guest with a heartfelt warmth that makes you feel instantly at ease. Customers have praised the restaurant for its attentive service, great value, and a dining experience that goes beyond just the food.

What's especially impressive about Ahmad's is the balance of robust, exotic flavors that never overwhelm but instead invite you deeper into each dish’s story. Whether it’s the earthy lentil soup with just a hint of spice or the succulent Rack of Lamb with its nuanced seasoning, every bite feels like a discovery of Persian culinary artistry.

For those looking to try something new and vibrant, this restaurant is a must-visit culinary destination. As many diners have shared from their own experiences—whether it’s inhaling the Baba Ganouj in sheer delight or returning for a second meal in the same visit because the food was “delicious and made from scratch”—Ahmad’s Persian Cuisine consistently delivers an authentic, heartwarming Persian dining experience in Omaha.

    The food was very tasteful, and the flavors were evenly measured to where it wasn't over powering the guy worked really hard and was very polite. The restaurant itself was very beautiful. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody I know.

    The most unique place I have ever visited has exceptional food that tastes truly special—flavors I have never experienced before. Besides the delicious cuisine, the remarkable architecture gives off a strong Persian and Western vibe.

    This was an amazing dining experience! The baba ganouj was amazing. We INHALED it. The lentil soup was earthy and had a little kick. The fessen jun was sweet and rich and loved it so much. Ahmad was the nicest host and cooks his food phenomenally. FIVE stars all the way.

    We were in town for two days and liked it so much we went twice! The food was delicious and made from scratch. We especially liked the flavorful Tehran chicken. The pictures of the tablecloths and stylized food weren't just for show - those were an actual part of the experience. Almost all the food on the menu is gluten-free (and, I suspect, good for other allergen-free diets.)

    I have been meaning to go to Ahmad's and now I regret not coming sooner! It was such a good experience! The food was phenomenal, very flavorful! I had the Tehran Chicken my mom had the Shrimp Kebob. Both were seasoned very well we didn't leave anything behind. The hot tea was delicious. Ahmad was very cordial and his attentiveness was above par. I highly recommend trying something new and checking out Ahmad's.

    Dinner was absolutely delicious! My daughter and I loved the chicken and beef kabob dishes. The best part was we felt like family with their amazing service! We spoke with the owner, Ahmad for a bit also :)) Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Persian food. We visit every year from Iowa!

    We were visiting Omaha and decided to try Persian food since it was a few minutes from our hotel. It was delicious! I had the bean soup they provided as a mini appetizer as well as the Tehran chicken. Both were excellent. The soup was lemony and smoky (and I liked it so much I asked for the recipe!), and the chicken was perfectly spiced to hit the back of my throat without overwhelming the delicious spices and lemon. The portions were generous, and the chef (and owner?) himself came to check on us and let us know how the dishes were to be eaten. The food is obviously prepared with a lifetime of expertise and lots of love. If we are back in the area, I will definitely return!

    The amount of care Ahmad puts into his customer service shines into his food. Absolutely delicious food. It’s amazing. I’ve never tasted a meal so fresh, so balanced, and from a place so obviously cared for. Walking in feels like a complete homely environment where all are welcome. Ahmad greeted me personally and even had me try an AMAZING lentil soup (pictured). As someone who consistently goes out to eat solo, this immaculate level of customer service was new to me. The lentil soup was already promising but when I received my meal (also pictured); the food was as amazing as the presentation. It’s absolutely amazing and I am extremely appreciative. They will be seeing me as long as I am in Omaha. Thank you Ahmad. Your care for your restaurant shows in your care for your patrons. Your hands and eye are blessed and I wish you complete prosperity in your business. Persian tea also now has been added to my list of favorite teas!!
