The spot may lack ambience, but it 100% makes up for that in friendly service and amazing flavor. My husband had the chicken Shawarma wrap, and I had the falafel wrap and both were incredibly garlicky tasty! Perfect, garlic sauce, a lil hot sauce and little indian pickles! My falafel even had a bit of a crunch to it, so it was simply a perfect lunch find. Note you walk in and it's just a counter to order and there is a tight small row of about 8 seats in the back. We were there on a cold day so that's where we sat (like others have mentioned on a nicer day ya take your food to go down to the waterfront or to the market. ) This definitely will be a must stop when I go back to Victoria!

I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Going forward I will do takeout only as I cannot stand, eating in places with loud music and or the TV blaring. since we don't live close and taking home food which will be cold by the time I reach home. The likelihood is now less of me returning. I avoid restaurants that have TVs unless I want to go and watch sports but it has to be my choice not forced upon me

With an 18% tip the total was $100! The lunch was average - certainly not worth that steep a price though. We only had one Diet Coke - no alcohol. The most shocking part though was the cup of soup I ordered was $12. It was literally a very tiny cup. We all stared at the tiny size of it and laughed. Nice service and food was 'fine' but i think we won't be going back again. The pricing is unsustainable and the dining room is an echo chamber.

One of the top Persian kabab restaurants you will find in North America. The best Persian…read moreRestaurant, #1, is in Glendale, California called Raffi's Place. The Persian Grill House in Victoria, British Columbia is #2. The Persian Grill House has THE BEST barg kabab, even compared to Raffi's Place. This food was amazing. Even better was the service. The Persian Grill House took care of us like we were part of their family. We felt welcomed and humbled to be invited into their "home". Don't worry about price or portion sizes. They're Persian, so you know you're going to get a lot of food and your money's worth. Persians invented shareable portions, true story. As a consumer you can do whatever you want. With that being said, this is my best advice...skip the buffet and order from the menu. If buffet is your thing, then sure have at it. But, if you want fresh made food cooked and prepared to perfection, you definitely want to order directly from the menu. Every table in this restaurant should be filled every night. People should be waiting for a table to sit down and enjoy this restaurant, service, and food. I whole heartedly recommend The Persian Grill House to everyone. The next time I visit Victoria, I will without a doubt return to The Persian Grill House. Thank you Persian Grill House. I hope for your continued health and success. Daste shomā dard nakone!

The samosas were tasty, well seasoned beef filling with some peas and carrots similar to a shepard's pie. The shawarma meat was not very great. Texture felt old and taste was not really like shawarma you'd get at a solid donair place. Also the hummus and pickles were overpowering the wrap. 7.5/10 overall for interesting deli items, good service, but underwhelming items I ordered.

Both plates come with a small fresh salad which was tasty. The lamb platter was disappointing. Flavor and texture was unappealing. Meat was finely shredded and without texture-like baby food. The kebab on plate was better and actually had pieces of meat. Food is very salty. Would be nice if plates came with bread. We were able to purchase some separately. The bread is more of a tortilla than traditional pita, but nicely grilled. The worst part was front door was kept open in late December-very cold for diners.

The menu includes plates or wraps with good menu choices, fresh salad ingredients and chicken, falafel, and lamb/beef mix. My hubby had kebab plate with salad and fries and I had a mixed beef and lamb wrap with fries. The staff works fast and provided genuinely kind service, they even offered several sauces at a self serve condiments area.
