Description

KC Grill ‘N Kabob is a Persian (Iranian) restaurant specializing in charbroiled kabobs prepared daily with premium Halal meat.13 The menu spans lamb, beef, chicken, and vegetarian entrees alongside appetizers, salads, soups (lentil soup), stuffed grape leaves, and traditional Persian desserts including Persian ice cream.14 House favorites cited across listings include the combo kabob, chicken and beef kobideh, chelo kabob, lamb shank, and the sultani kabob.4 The restaurant tagline is “Kansas City’s Finest Charbroiled Kabobs Since 2004,” and the site closes with the Persian blessing damet garm.1 It offers dine-in, carry-out, catering, weekday lunch specials, and a weekend buffet (Friday–Sunday), with delivery available through Uber Eats.12 It is frequently described as the Kansas City area’s only dedicated Persian restaurant.23

Ownership and history

KC Grill ‘N Kabob has operated as a locally owned, family-run Persian restaurant since 2004.12 The business is consistently described across listings as “family-owned and operated.”3 A Tripadvisor/customer review names the owner as “Kamid,” noting he personally greeted and waited on tables; however, the full and correct spelling of the owner/family name is not confirmed by a primary source and is marked.5 The restaurant’s longevity (20+ years at the same Lenexa location) and its standing as the metro’s sole dedicated Persian establishment make it a heritage independent in the KC dining landscape.23

Disputes

None at this time. (Note: a Restaurantji field listed a stale “8216 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park” address; this conflicts with the official site, Yelp, Waze, and the directory listing, which all give 12126 W 87th St Pkwy, Lenexa, KS 66215 — the Lenexa address is treated as correct.)
