Everything tasted fresh and was cooked just right. The best compliment came from someone in our party who is known for being the toughest food critic in our family--and even they were genuinely impressed with the quality and taste of the food. If you're looking for authentic Persian cuisine, I highly recommend Avishan Persian Restaurant. We'll definitely be back!

We by chance lucked out and found this Persian restaurant after the original restaurant we had…read moreplanned to go to was closed early after seeing Lafarge lights on a Sunday night. We were also thinking of going to the Sushi restaurant next door but when we saw this restaurant was packed on a Sunday night, we knew we had to try. Much to our delight the food was very tasty. We ordered the meat platter to share. Every item was seasoned well and tender. Probably one of the best Persian I've had and I've tried quite a few in Lower Mainland. The service was a bit slow at first but it was a busy night and there was a big group there for a Christmas party. Once it cleared up, service was more attentive. Also to our delight, while we were towards the end of our meal, a table of men suddenly got up and started dancing! The owner/managed was so nice, he even turned up the music and encouraged us and the big group to dance. People were dancing and eating. We definitely didn't expect a fun quiet Sunday dinner turned to be a fun time. We'll have to venture out to Coquitlam again to try more dishes and hopefully perhaps there will be another impromptu dancing. lol.

The server was nice and polite and we were quickly served a couple glasses of water and given the menu to peruse. The interior although we did not sit inside i did see when I went in to check in. It was very nicely decorated and looked cozy. I ordered a vaziri kebab and wifey ordered a chicken curry. We also ordered for starters a kashk o bademjoon. When the food arrived they were beautifully plated and the colors amazing. I had a taste of the starter and was delighted at the texture and flavor. Very tasty. My dish of kebabs were seasoned well and the meat was moist. Every bite was delicious with a mouth full of the rice. The was a side of salad on the plate as well, get your veggies in ;) but the star of the plate is the kebab. Wife's dish was spicy for her and she ended up taking it home as she's not good with hot spice. I think the spice level for me was fine, nice kick to it. Over all very nice meal and pleasant server. When in steveston and feeling like Mediterranean food def hit this place up!

We kept adding to our orders, and our server accommodated us very promptly. We ordered kebabs that were juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. I highly recommend the eggplant dip, and we also enjoyed the hummus. I tried the spicy curry chicken dish, which was really good; it had a nice kick, and I love spicy food! I read rave reviews about the chia seed lemonade, and it was just as good and refreshing as everyone said. I noticed a sign indicating that they will be relocating to a different spot in Steveston; I'll make sure to post a picture of that sign. I definitely recommend trying this place!

Even though it was close to closing, this family run business still cooked up an amazing combo platter for me. The combo platter had chicken, kebab, beef, tomatoes over rice. The proteins and tomatoes were perfectly grilled with right amount of char. The meats were tender and juicy. I was only going to eat half and save half for tomorrow, but I ended up eating majority of the entire plate and fell asleep in food coma bliss. 10/10 I would do it again.

The food arrived hot,smelling delicious and it was very tasty, thank you will definitely return.read more

This place is located within Saray Turkish restaurant and is TAKE OUT ONLY! This set up is…read moreprobably going to cause issues because it's pretty confusing. You can order takeout or dine-in for Saray but you can only order takeout for Noon. I saw some people walk in and be seated only to want the Persian cuisine and be turned away because no sit down for the Iranian food is offered. (Different owners, different rules and arrangements I suppose) If you can get past that and are ok with takeout the food was amazing. Portion size for the price was very well received. We ordered the Joojeh and lamb chops and both were cooked and tasted EXCELLENT. I forgot to take a picture of the lamb chops but I assure you they were done perfectly. There's a lamb above the chops on the menu which is actually rack of lamb that doesn't specifically state that in the description so if your in for a rack don't worry they have that too.

Number 8 of our adventure - King Kabob Restaurant - May 1,…read more2021 Once again, we had to do a takeout for our latest culinary adventure. We have been concentrating on finding restaurants in the city of Abbotsford so we can limit our traveling, trying to keep safe during Covid. So, this time around it was Georgine's pick and she chose The King Kabob. This is a Persian restaurant that is very near to Georgine's place so we picked the food up and ate it at her place. This food was so fresh and healthy. Nothing is fried and everything was so tasty. We all found the fresh salad with the slightly sweet and wonderful yogurt dressing so refreshing. The meal portions were very generous. We ordered a side of Dolma's these were made with split peas, rice and herbs they were absolutely delicious. They would make a nice light lunch along with a salad. Sadie's choice was the Queen Kabob. This was a skewer of marinated and flame broiled top sirloin and skewer of marinated chicken (Bakhtiari). This came with fluffy basmati rice, salad, pita and humus. She was pleased with her meal. Deb chose the Koobeede Kabob with was two seasoned minced beef skewers along with the rice, salad, humus and pita. She did think that next time she would ask for the extra spicy version, although she enjoyed her meal very much, she wants to try the spicier version. We were given the choice of regular, medium spicy and extra spicy for all of our meals. Georgine chose the lamb shank that was falling off the bone tender and had a delicious perfectly seasoned gravy. This meal came with a salad and a basmati rice that was mixed with lima beans and dill that was so very flavorful. Georgine said she is going to try recreate this rice dish. This was an excellent restaurant and we all loved their food. Next time we go after the Covid restrictions we will know what to expect. So good! We all give the King Kabob a solid 5 out of 5 stars.

As I walk in, instantly, a wall of alluring smells of beef kabobs, grilled vegetables, chicken kabobs and everything else sizzling and searing. The menu was colorful, with clean clear photos of alluring selections. I of course, order the King Mix. And let me tell you...what a find!! So damn good. I will definitely be back whenever I'm in Abbotsford BC.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my experience. Ordered take out for a pick up on my way…read morehome from work. When I arrived the food was ready, however, not a single staff member was helpful and actually quite rude as I tried to get my order. Ended up speaking to a host and 4 staff just to figure out the pick up. When I got home the food did not match what was was described, salmon skewers were only baked salmon filet, the $9.99 salad was less than a cup of diced tomato and cucumber and the beef skewer was dry and under seasoned. Surprising considering how many great reviews there are. With so many choices for great Persian food on the North Shore I will go some place else next time.

Portions are healthy, bring your appetite. I asked for jalapeño peppers and got several huge ones in a bowl. Bonus: they were spicy and I was a happy camper. (I don't think they charged us for them.) The peppers added even more flavor to the lamb shoulder entree I sprung for. The dill rice was a treat too, huzzah. Service was on-point.

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!
