KC Grill ‘N Kabob is a family-owned Persian (Iranian) restaurant at 12126 W 87th St Pkwy in Lenexa, Kansas, serving charbroiled Halal kabobs and traditional Persian fare since 2004 — widely regarded as the Kansas City metro’s only dedicated Persian restaurant.¹²³

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.)
