The Best Iranian Businesses in Phoenix

Phoenix holds most of Arizona’s Iranian community, but it does not hold it in one place. The Valley runs about fifty miles from the west side to Gilbert, and businesses are spread across it rather than clustered on a single street.

Restaurants and bakeries — kabab houses, family kitchens, and Persian pastry shops.

Where to look in the Valley

Scottsdale — professional and medical practices, rug galleries, and retail.

Tempe and the university area — restaurants and services, with a student and academic population.

Chandler and Gilbert — suburban family businesses, medical practices, and markets.

Mesa — neighborhood services and family businesses.

Central Phoenix — professional offices and restaurants.

There is no single Persian district in the Valley, so the map is more useful than the city name — and the city line between Phoenix and Scottsdale means less than the drive time.

What each listing shows

Every listing includes the phone number, full address, opening hours, and website, so you can reach the business directly. Many add photos and a description of what they do. Where a business notes that staff speak Farsi, that appears on the listing too.

Every submission is read by a person before publishing. We confirm the business exists and the contact details work. We do not verify professional licenses, credentials, or insurance choosing a doctor, lawyer, or contractor is still your decision.

Nowruz and community events

The Valley’s Iranian community marks Nowruz each spring, with gatherings organized through cultural groups and community organizations.

Markets and bakeries listed here often take Nowruz orders sabzi polo with fish, sweets, and haft-sin items so it is worth calling ahead in the weeks before.
