Kebabs at Home: Mastering Persian Skewers with Your In‑Home Chef
here’s something deeply special about the sizzle of kebabs, the aroma of saffron and charred tomatoes, and the cozy warmth that fills a room when family and friends gather around a Persian feast. At Dorchin, based in Richmond Hill, we’ve bottled that magic and brought it straight to your doorstep. With our In‑Home Persian Chef Service, you no longer need to travel to experience authentic, restaurant‑quality kebabs—you can enjoy them in the familiar comfort of your own home.
When our chef arrives, the evening begins with a personal consultation: we’ll talk through your guest list, dietary preferences, and favorite flavors. Next comes our signature marinade station, where premium cuts of Canadian beef, lamb, or chicken are hand‑rubbed with house‑blended spices, saffron threads, and yogurt—yielding kebabs that are tender, succulent, and richly flavored. As the coals come to life, we expertly thread each skewer and grill them over live flame, coaxing out that perfect smoky char and golden crust.
But kebabs are only the beginning. Your full Persian spread can include:
Saffron‑Perfumed Basmati Rice topped with jewel‑like barberries and a crisp tahdig crust
Colorful Grilled Vegetables—tomatoes, peppers, and onions brushed with garlic and mint
Hearty Stews (Khoresh) simmered low-and-slow, from tangy Ghormeh Sabzi to sweet-and-nutty Fesenjan
Fresh Mezze & Sides such as mast-o-khiar (yogurt cucumber dip), torshi (pickles), and crisp lavash bread
Decadent Desserts like rosewater baklava and homemade saffron ice cream
While the aromas swirl through your home, our team takes care of every detail: setting a welcoming table with handwoven linens and candles, serving each course with traditional Persian elegance, and tidying up afterward so you can simply relax and savor the moment.
Why Persian Kebabs Are So Special
Persian kebabs are far more than mere dishes—they’re a living testament to centuries of shared meals and family celebrations. Here’s how I bring each skewer to life in your home:
Koobideh: I hand‑mix premium ground beef or lamb with finely grated onion, a pinch of salt, pepper, and turmeric. As it sizzles over glowing coals, the juices caramelize into that signature smoky crust.
Joojeh: I marinate tender chicken pieces in yogurt infused with saffron threads, a squeeze of lemon, and a touch of garlic. The yogurt tenderizes, while saffron lends a golden hue and honey‑like aroma—yielding skewers that melt in your mouth.
Barg: I brush ultra‑thin slices of filet mignon with a blend of onion juice, olive oil, garlic, and rosewater. A quick sear seals in the juices, creating an elegant, tender bite.
What sets my kebabs apart is the careful balance of marination, grilling technique, and ingredient quality. I source the finest Canadian meats—grass‑fed beef, free‑range chicken, and responsibly raised lamb—and combine them with time‑honored Persian spices: the bright tang of sumac, the warm depth of saffron, and a whisper of cinnamon or cardamom.
Over the live flame, I turn each skewer with precision: just long enough to achieve a crisp, caramelized edge without losing any juiciness inside. Then I serve them alongside fragrant saffron‑perfumed rice, charred tomatoes and peppers, and cooling dips like mast‑o‑khiar (yogurt and cucumber).
At Dorchin in Richmond Hill, every kebab is my personal promise: a perfect union of tradition, flavor, and hospitality—delivered straight to your table.
