Avesta Persian Grill - Houston

The it area is beautiful, deserves definitiw 5 stars! the food was impeccable, the meat is very tender and just drips off the bone. the rice and the sauce have great taste and is an absolute pleasure to eat. a great culinary experience worth money!

The food here is delicious! We tried the salmon kebab and a combo of chicken and lamb, both of which were fantastic. The portions are generous, making it hard to finish a whole plate. The service was excellent as well; the chef even came out to personally thank each guest during our meal. I highly recommend this place!

I was very pleased with this restaurant. We ordered a variety of dishes, and each portion was generous for a very reasonable price. The bread was fantastic, the lamb was outstanding, and both the shrimp and salmon were cooked to perfection. The falafel was also excellent. The baklava was truly the best I've ever tasted—I would come back just for that, and it would definitely deserve a five-star rating. I’ll be exploring more ways to return here!

Oh my goodness. This place is so delicious. Was recommended by a friend and is hands-down the best Persian food I've had in Houston with the most generous portions for the price! My husband and I started out with a hot eggplant dip with grilled onions. Super savory and delicious when paired with the fresh bread that they bring straight to the table. For entrees, my husband got the lamb shank which was so tender with rice with lima beans and dill--he loved it! I loved the beef koobideh and couldn't even eat half of the portion. I substituted the rice for basmati rice with raisins which I think was really worth it. We also got the fesenjoon which is a pomegranate stew--sweet and delicious. The restaurant was very clean and parking was very easy. Will definitely be back!

The Lamb Shish Kebab Combo was a solid 3.5/5. We primarily ordered it to sample the lamb, but surprisingly, the chicken turned out to be the highlight of the dish. It was good overall, but nothing particularly extraordinary. However, the Koobideh Kebab deserves a perfect 5/5. O.M.G... It was bursting with flavor, incredibly juicy, and a wonderful culinary experience. This kebab was outstanding on its own, but when paired with the amazing hummus, it reached new heights! Seriously, order this dish—thank me later! As a bonus, almost all the food, except for one chicken dish, is halal. I can't recall the name of that particular chicken dish, but I'm sure the waiter can assist if you need clarification. Speaking of the staff, the service was excellent, and the waiters were very friendly. My only slight complaint is that the noise level can get quite high due to the lack of sound-absorbing materials in the space. Overall, our experience was nothing short of exceptional, and we will definitely be returning for more!
