Ribeye and shrimp combo is/dill rice and grilled veggies
Lisa J.

The three stars are for the very outstanding service , atmosphere and the Yadi's Favorite which was one of there very tasty chicken dishes. And I'm so glad my cousin let me taste it because the dish that I ordered , the combination shrimp and ribeye with dill rice was extremely bland and underwhelming. Not to mentioned the ribeye was very tough .. I've had better Persian food and wish this had been good like others I've tried, but overall was still a pleasant experience.

Every time we come to Garson we enjoy our time. We love Persian food, and their Fecenjan is to die for! What is not to love about a delicious pieces of chicken dipped in a luscious and rich amazing pomegranate sauce?! We are obsessed with it, we have also tried their other dishes and it was all very good. We love the bread and a bonus point...it's made in house! Definitely give this place a try and you won't regret it.

We came for dinner on a Friday evening. There was plenty of parking in their lot. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The restaurant and dining area itself were very clean. I thought the menus were nicely designed as well. All of the servers were very attentive and came by frequently to refill water. There was lots of complimentary bread as well. The bread itself wasn't the best, but I appreciated that they kept bringing more. I ordered the boneless chicken and beef koubideh with doogh. Prices and portion sizes were very reasonable. However I thought the tomatoes on the side tasted a bit too sour. The beef was cooked well, but I thought it tasted a little too salty. The chicken needed more seasoning. Overall, this is an okay place if you want affordable Persian food. But there are probably better spots to try in the area.

Lamb shank, ribeye kabob, seafood 56. Shrimp & Salmon Kabob Combo
Chrystal S.

Incredible food! We had the lamb - so tender! The seafood kabob was the highlight of the meal wow. Can't wait to come back!

Okay the service alone gave this 5 stars! They were so kind, attentive and genuine. We were a big party on Mother's Day and they took care of us like family. All the food was delicious, especially the boneless chicken kabobs! The dill rice wasn't over powering with dill but definitely there. All dishes were packed with flavor and very satisfying large portions.

The waiter here prefers to be called Garcon.

If the capital of Nevada was Garson City, I'd never go to Nevada. That's how much I like this restaurant. One of my worst experiences in Houston. We showed up to have some delicious Persian kebabs (never been before), and I was wearing my usual muscle shirt and Barbie her usual sexy outfit, and we were told to leave or to sit in the spare room (empty, cold, by the door) separate from the dining room (nice, warm, lots of people), because my muscle shirt "isn't proper attire". Meanwhile there was people smoking in the doorway, a old smelly guy with his old man bare feet up on a chair drinking tea and reading, and 2 people vaping as well. This isn't a fine dining place, it's just a little locally owned place with decent prices which shouldn't be so judgy and prehistoric - I hate to see what would happen if they put this place in Montrose or Midtown. Those kinds of double standards are disgusting but when you consider it's a $10 Kabob place and not fancy restaurant, and that we've even in a lot of fancy restaurants (and lots of Persian places, cheap and expensive) around the country, and that I'm Persian (lol), and literally never been told to leave or change outfits even once, anywhere, you can see why it would rub me the wrong way. Besides, I didn't have any other shirts with me that day, we'd come from the gym and I only had a dirty similar shirt or the clean one I was wearing. I wanted to try all the Persian places, but I'm skipping this one and telling all my friends to do the same after the nastiness and prejudice and hypocrisy. Nearby Darband is probably the best Persian in the country anyway, so we generally tend to stick with that or the equally excellent Bijan just down the road.

The food is fantastic and the service is great! Perfect place for a healthy lunch or a family dinner. Convenient location and great atmosphere! You should try it soon!

Wow, this place is amazing. They serve fresh pita with some herbs and cheese. That is really good. I recommend getting the hummus. Food was delicious and the service was fantastic. The owner is very kind and I like how the restaurant is authentic and the quality of the food is great. Definitely coming back. you can also order sesame pita instead of the plain.

It's the kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed yet excited for what's to come. The food is nothing short of exceptional. We ordered Lamb chops and shank special today. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, with fresh ingredients and flavors that are both vibrant and comforting. You can truly taste the authenticity in every bite--whether it's the perfectly seasoned meats, the rich sauces, or the beautifully balanced sides. What really elevates the experience, though, is the service. The staff are attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and taken care of without ever being overbearing. Athena's isn't just a place to eat--it's an experience. Whether you're going for a casual meal or a special occasion, it delivers on every level. I'll definitely be coming back Peter Johnmariadoss & Family.

We ordered calamari & baked oysters for appetizers. It was the most tender calamari I've ever had, and the flavor of the oysters was phenomenal. Our entrees were the lamb shank with a side of mushrooms, and the red snapper special topped with scallops and shrimp. The lamb fell off the bone and was so tender and flavorful. The scallops were melt in your mouth good, and the shrimp and red fish were delicious. We ended with baklava to celebrate my birthday. Not only did it taste amazing, but after singing to me, nearly the entire staff, including the owner, came over to personality wish me a happy birthday. I will definitely be back to try many of the other items on the menu that I didn't get to try last night!

All 3 meals were really flavorful, good quality, really well-seasoned, very juicy and so delicious. The gyros and burger are without question imo the best in TX. Ekko's and Nick The Greek are 2nd n 3rd for Greek food for me. I always got the gyros sandwich as opposed to the plate before which is odd bc I always prefer meat plates over sandwich form in other foods like bbq, steak, etc. The meat pieces were all really tasty and had some slight char to them too. The taziki sauce is always cold, creamy in feel and refreshing with a good yogurt aroma to it. It's a great bonus and the gyros didn't even need it tbh. The tomatoes were nicely refreshing and the exotic, cool center dolma is always a little treat with meals here. The rice and chunky lemon potatoes with my meals were always mild but still great in texture and prep. As I said before; from my experiences in every single Greek cafe, if the taziki sauce is good, the gyros will be too. It's a solid symptom and indicator imo. As for the burger, very rarely are burger places only in TX actually any good for the past 15 years. So many are just average or below lacking seasoning or a great overall flavor. Niko Niko's, Goode Company Hamburgers and TX Hamburger Palace are my top 3 in that order for it. Each different too. The brioche buns were just the right thickness and very soft to make the beef patty stick out well. The patty was so nice in charbroiled taste, saltiness, richness, beefiness and tender in every bite. A good burger doesn't need much in toppings, but cool, refreshing, tomatoes are a must for me and pickles add some tangy crunch too. For steak rare, but for a burger medium to medium rare. I had never seen or heard of their Greek Spaghetti n Meat Sauce before. This was like a Greek Bolognese with a lot of love in its flavor. The noodles were drained, very moist and so soft. I don't like too much cheese, so I took some off, but still like some. The meat sauce gravy itself was really flavorful, savory, fatty enough and had that subtle sweet, warm spice aroma you get in the Greek lasagna. I like to get dessert here sometimes when I have extra room, bc they have some great options like their galaktobourreko, chocolate ganache cake, etc. The service was very welcoming, friendly and efficient on these visits.

We got the gyro sandwich, gyro plate with fries, and mille feuille dessert. I thoroughly enjoyed my gyro sandwich. The pita was very fragrant, and the meat was good. The fries were fine. They have a lot of desserts on display, and we got the mille feuille, which was a super flaky cake-appearing pastry that gave more baklava vibes once we dug into it. The friendly employee told us that he gained a significant amount of weight from eating it. It was very dry and crusty with cold cream interspersed within the layers. It crumbled all over the table (we cleaned it up). It seemed like a unique dessert that was nice to try, but I don't think either of us liked it that much, and we didn't end up finishing it. The gyros were great though.

I love Mediterranean food - it feels like a healthier option, but still super satisfying. The place itself is casual but has a nice enough atmosphere that it feels like a little treat every time we go. There's a big front patio where you can smoke hookah, and it's always buzzing with people. I've even noticed a lot of people working on their laptops out there. The whole vibe is just really chill. We have our go to order: hot green tea with honey. Idk why I love it so much but I swear it just hits different here. Maybe it's the cute little pot they serve it in. For food, we usually start with an appetizer and split the mixed shawarma plate. This last time we shared a Greek salad as an appetizer. Fresh and delicious as always. One of our sides was the baba ghanoush, which was incredible. Dont get me started on the pita it comes with....Warm, soft, and fresh. It takes everything in me not to demolish the whole basket. For our other side, we always get the potatoes. They're perfectly seasoned with a slight sweetness and a little kick. Hands down my favorite side dish here! The portions are generous too. For me and my boyfriend (who can definitely eat), splitting this is always enough to fill us up. I also have to shout out the service because it's consistently great. Even when it's packed and there's just one waiter, everything flows smoothly. Safe to say we'll keep coming back!

The only two entrees I could see were a falafel plate and a cheese pida for vegetarians. I opted for the the cheese pida and a salad as I felt like my dinner needed some vegetables. The salad was plain tasting consisting of a lemon based dressing and cubes of tomato, cucumber, bell pepper. The dressing was not strong and I wished it had more flavor. I took it home and added my own dressing from home the next day. It's unfortunate that they charge an additional $1.50 for feta cheese which would have elevated the salad flavor. The cheese pide was good and a very large portion size. I wish there were some vegetables added however. The dough was delicious. Istanbul grill does make good bread. The pita bread was also good, very soft, and tasted fresh. It was busy on a Saturday night. Decor is minimal inside and ambiance was family friendly. Most of the tables were families with children. I will note that the interior was on the warmer side for a November night. Overall likely would not return just because of limited vegetarian food.
