With confidence I can say that Garson is the best Persian restaurant in Houston. I love the koobideh. Also I strongly recommend the gheymeh bademjan. Very amazing service, and staff. read more

The best Persian food in houston,great food great service,and specially they have other options on the menu if you want to try something different than persian,the fresh bread with sesame seeds on ...omg I definitely recommend it read more

Completely bland food no taste what so ever, service was very slow & unpleasant staff.

Really great Persian food and good service! I never regret bringing my friends here or ordering out. Make sure to try the chengeh soltani next time you go. read more

Very good Indian restaurant, delicious and pretty, you can eat meat, rice, shrimp, salmon, etc with a different taste than Occidental cusine. Very good attended. read more

Honestly, one of my favorite restaurants in Houston. The food is phenomenal. I highly recommend the koobideh and the sour cherry rice. You won't regret it! read more

Came here with my friend for the first time! I could smell the deliciousness from the parking lot! The food definitely did not disappoint, it was amazing! The manager came out and conversed with us for a while and was extremely friendly and polite. The service was impeccable. Putting this one on my list for repeat visits! read more

Garson Restaurant - Shirazi Beef Tenderloin! - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Houston, Texas

The waiters brought the wrong order. Koobideh was not tasty at all. We also were not happy with Masto khiar and doogh. Tah dig ( gheime) was nothing close to tah dig. It was too soft. The only good things were chicken with bone and the bread and cheese! Not a satisfactory experience! read more

I will say the outside of the restaurant isn't something you would notice... as it is small and easy to miss. But the food is delicious. I had the chicken koobideh and my friend the beef one. It was very juicy. Left full and satisfied. read more

First time here and I did NOT like anything except the grilled vegetables on the appetizer menu. I ordered grilled vegetables and tabouli for app. The tabouli is edible but they put too much lime/lemon juice. Too sour for tabouli. For my entree I ordered the chicken barg with their yogurt & cucumber paste. The paste was too thick. Didn't like it. The chicken didn't taste good at all. Rice was bland. My friend ordered the Garson Special and it was so-so. Definitely NOT the best place for Mediterranean food, however, I would definitely recommend Kasra's if you're in the mood for Persian/Mediterranean food. By far the best in town! read more

The quality of food was good. I was curious to know why this place is less crowded than other Persian restaurants such as Kasra. One suggestion for managers: Be more customer oriented! Think bigger and stop petty overcharges. They bring complementary breads and we asked for sesame seeds to be added to our bread. 0.25 cents extra charge!!! Bad decision by a restaurant to do such overcharges! read more

this place was recently remodeled, has new owners and it kept the same name from before. Lebanese food, excellent hummus, excellent salads, tabouli, upscale, fine dining, good waiters, excellent service. If you want to eat Lebanese food in a nice environment you may want to try Garson. read more

The lamb shank with white rice was some of the best food I've ever had in my life! Also, the hummus and pita bread are very very good.

Delicious Persian food. Upscale decor yet still a relatively casual environment. The sultani is definitely my favorite.

We used to go to another Persian place but decided to try this one out again after many years or not having been here. I'm so glad we did! I love the bread and feta that comes out first and they have fresh squeezed lemonade. I usually order the beef kubideh but have also had the hummus, baba ghanoush, Mirza ghasemi (the eggplant and egg dish) and other things and everything always tastes good and fresh and perfectly seasoned. The servers are always very nice and professional. No complaints here and will be back often! If you want a relaxed, clean environment to enjoy a Persian dinner, then come here! read more

This is definitely the best Persian restaurant in terms of quality and service. I was seated like you would be at any upscale restaurant and the server was very kind and helpful in suggesting the right dishes. My friend who brought me here made the decision of getting everything we ordered and we got the lamb kabobs, the lamb chengeh, the koubideh, the sabzi something under salad, the dil rice with another beef dish, some eggplant and egg appetizer, and for desert the baklava. The bill was about a $100 bucks but well worth the food. I'd definitely go back!!! read more

I came here for lunch the other day with a bit of hesitation; the last couple of times I had dined here were years ago, and no fond memories. Luckily, times have changed for the better, and I'm happy to say our lunch was not bad at all. Actually rather pleasant and nothing bad. Just... fine. I would have given it 4 stars since there was nothing bad, but the Grilled Chicken Kabob and salad I ordered really weren't hard to mess up. Basically, the chicken was cooked adequately and the salad was nice, with a flavorful vinagrette. However, I think it was bottled dressing and I'm not giving a restaurant business 4 stars just for knowing how to cook chicken on a stick. Ok, I know it could have been very bad, and I'm happy it was not! The side salad was very nicely done with fresh leaves, a good mixture of raw vegetables, and some nice feta. Again, fine! Anyhow, my lunch companion ordered the exact same as I did so not much to go-by, and luckily hers was cooked fine also. The lunch menu is nice and simple, and prices seem to range from $10-$15 for lunch items. I find that a little bit much for what you get, but that's only because there are so many other good choices in the area that are not only less expensive, but rather a bit tastier... sorry! If I had to choose my favorite restaurant in this genre, it would still be Kasra. But I work near Garson, so it's fine for lunch. Dinner as well, but not on my dime. Simply put and no offense, I'd rather spend it somewhere else.just read more

Well i dont know anything about Mediterranean food I just know they have lamb and thats why i go to mediterránean restaurant lol. I would say the food, service and environment are excellent here!!! The manager was really nice read more

We wanted to try this place, so we made reservations. We were seated right away, however we sat for 30-40 mins without anyone even coming to give us water. In the meantime, 2 other large tables came in and were waited on immediately. Other tables around us were getting waited on as well. We ended up leaving without even getting a drink or even speaking to a server. Don't go here it's a waste of your time. I'd give them 0 stars if I could. read more

Great food and service. Taste like home cooked. We enjoy coming here every time. The Khoreshts are the best here.

Fantastic experience! We had my wife's birthday party with 15 people, and everyone loved their food and the service. From the moment we arrived, they helped with balloons, put the cake in the kitchen and helped with our food choices. Several of us had lamb and others had the Garson special. The belly dancer was beautiful, friendly and very festive. She even invited my wife to give it a try. The only negative was that there were too many great dishes to try it all. We will be back to continue the experience. read more

I've grown up on Persian food and tell you it's hard to find a place that satisfies my tastebuds. Love the kabob kubideh here. Persian kabob is different from your Lebanese variety (kafta is more spiced with different herbs). I wish I could take this back to Austin with me as the Persian food selection there is mediocre. If you've never tried Persian food, Garson is a good place to start! read more

I had a great meal at Garson. We started with hummus and the roasted eggplant puree. The hummus, which can be quite average in some establishments, was nothing short of awesome. It was smooth with a bright lemon flourish. We devoured it with fresh flat bread that our lovely server kept replenishing for us. And the eggplant puree was equally delightful with the warm flat bread. For my entree, I had a skewered beef dish with roasted vegetables and rice. It was also excellent. That said, I think the dish could have used some more roasted vegetables to go with the generous serving of beef. But I can't complain. The meal was great. And the vegetarian appetizers were so good that I will recommend Garson to my veggie friends. read more

This restaurant is probably one of my top two Persian restaurants in Houston. They are great about seating large parties (big Persian family gatherings) and is an elegant (but not formal) atmosphere. Waitstaff is so professional and friendly. I love everything I have eaten there, including the fresh baked bread, eggplant appetizer, all types of kabobs, tadig with khoresh, gormeh sabzee, and various versions of delicious Persian rice! read more

Garson Restaurant is delicious. My Husband had been here before and wanted me to try it. We were treated very well, as the waiters/waitresses and even the host were extremely friendly and happy to serve us. We were seated at the bar for a moment while they cleared the tables, which didn't seem to take much time at all. The waitress was very helpful in helping us choose what to order. I am pretty indecisive when everything looks fantastic! The Food was delicious and I give the atmosphere an A+, and we only sat in the bar area (they had tables and things set up for an event in the main part of the restaurant). I highly recommend eating at Garson! My Husband and I will definitely be returning soon. Yummmmmmyyyy. read more

The worst kabob ever. The rudest staff and manager. Will never try it again ... There are much better choices in Houston area.

Had a dinner with my husband here. I always have Lamb at the Mediterranean restaurants as they seem to know the best way to cook it. It was delicious as usual and their fresh baked pita is always good with the salad and Humus. read more

Great Persian food. Service is fantastic as well as the ambiance. Highly recommend this place!

I have been a regular customer of Garson for many years. Since it has re opened, the food and atmosphere has improved greatly. I have made it a point to try as many dishes as possible, and have yet to be disappointed. To the girl who got food poisoning, I'm not sure where you got your medical degree, but food poisoning has an incubation period of a few hours for the onset of symptoms. As a white American, I have never felt out of place here. The variety of customers I see each time I visit is extraordinary. I recommend Garson to anyone who enjoys mediterranean food! read more

The food was just a disappointment. Meat was very dry and overcooked and you can tell it's been frozen because it's really grainy. delivery person was nice placing the order was an experience three different people had to transfer me just to be able to get someone to understand what I was trying to do the appetizer quail was to say the least one of the worst quails I've ever had. read more

Low quality and healthy, My friends and I got sick after eating there. Also they had charged us extra :(

My Favorite! Try the Garson Special with mixed rice first! And fresh naan! Great quail, too. Again, get a recommendation, and make sure you order a Persian dish, and not some American dish. Try the Persian Tea afterwards... read more

-Food: Best kabob EVER. Beef koubideh, beef barg, joojeh kabob, you name it! I've been here multiple times and I've never been disappointed. Never! Also, I love the bread they bring out with the cheese and sabzi (herbs) before your meal. They make it in house! -Ambience: Classy and neat. Great for special occasions or just a nice meal with a friend. -Staff: Most of the staff is great! My family is often greeted by a male Persian staff member who I believe is the manager, and he is very nice and inviting. There is this one older Persian lady who often stands by entrance (maybe the owner?) who is not as friendly, and once she sat at a table next to ours at the restaurant and spent the whole hour having a loud conversation with someone on the phone, which I thought was kind of unprofessional. This was a one time event though and really the only less than perfect experience I've had at Garson's. read more

I tried giving this restaurant a chance a few times and everytime I came here with family and friends not only the customer service was very disappointing but most importantly the food was not consistent! Out of the total of 3 times I visited this restaurant one time it was a funeral there as we are sitting a table right across the event ! The second time it was an engagement which we couldn't even hear each other talking when it was suppose to be a relaxing night for us so our night got completely ruined ! And tonight which is definitely my last time there we had the worst waiter ! He seemed very confused and just not present! I'm extremely disappointed ! Please do not order Tahdig either ! read more

Great Persian restaurant. We started out with tahdeeg with ghormehsabzee and ghaymeh on top. It is a heavy appetizer but it was delicious. The dohg was a little watered down and could be better. We got the chicken sultani and beef sultani. Both were solid dishes. Portions were huge as in all Persian restaurants. Definitely worth checking out. read more

I love Persian food but I haven't had the chance to eat at Garson in about 10 years. I had lunch there with my daughter today. Our meal was incredible and the service top notch. The atmosphere is so beautiful and relaxing, it's hard to believe you are on Hillcroft. I can't wait to eat my leftovers and I can't wait to go back for more. read more

Garson is simply awesome. I love the food, managment, staff are professional and well trained. They present a nice fusion of Persian food which has slightly adopted American cuisine in it. Their wine selection is proper. My favorite item in the menu is "mirza ghasemi". I love eggplant and Garson does it the best. read more

Great food and friendly service. Complimentary flat bread was hot and fresh out of the oven. I ordered the chicken and beef kabob plate. Meat was well marinated, tasty and juicy. Will come again. read more

Absolutely best Persian restaurant . love this place and food specially their koobideh and fesenjan :)

My guest and I were total of 7 people at 3 pm in their restaurant, the quality of food it was not a same as before the portion is was so small. And the they after I noticed that we had a lunch menu and lunch portion and they charge us over, and I found out it is a dinner prices. I called and they said the manager would be call me , she did not and I call again, I was not asking for any refund or anything just want to mention that they pay attention more but the called manager by the name of Minoo, said they have one menu and in one part it said lunch menu that it served only Monday thru Friday, but I did not recall that . I ask if this is the issue tell your servers that mention to customers that they did not confused but she was so rude and told me If we said the customers will tell them "we are not blind" she is absolutely rude. As a small business owner in this situation you have to make your customer happy and ask the how can I help you not telling them you are blind. We were going there for so long but this would be the last time for us and for my friends that I will tell them every each of them. I do not know the owner but hope they retrain the manager. I never saw this in my life , sadly Iranian people thinks they do not need customer, customer needs them:)) read more
