Yes, there is a mountain of difference. The Arabs, though themselves not homogenous, are a Semitic people, whereas the Persians are Indo-Iranian, their language belonging to the Indo-European language family. In short, they are historically, culturally, linguistically and ethnically separate populations who happen to share a home in the Middle East.

What is the difference between persian and Middle Eastern food?

Persian is one of many types of Middle Eastern food. The differences between Persian Food and, say, Iraqi or Levantine Arab food are slight, but noticeable. There is a different spice pallet, focusing on saffron over cumin and an increased use of fruits for flavoring. Persian food also has a large number of stews involving aubergines and stewed greens, whereas most Arab stews use meat and beans as primary ingredients. Persian cuisine also has fewer mezzede (appetizers-esque foods) than Arab, Israeli, and Greek cuisine.
