Avishan Authentic Middle East Grill Restaurant

Delicious! Definitely will be back!

I’ve been dining at this restaurant since it first opened, and I can honestly say it’s still the best Persian food I’ve ever had. My family recently dined here again, and I was planning to leave another positive review for the wonderful experience. But seeing the review page filled with so much negativity truly saddens me.

Let me share this: the food here is always freshly prepared—cooked to order—not pre-made like in many other places. It’s a small, family-run business, and that alone deserves our support and appreciation. The people behind it work hard every day, just like many others trying to keep their dreams alive.

Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But let’s be fair—no restaurant can be perfect every single day. If your experience didn’t meet your expectations, offer constructive feedback instead of harsh or discouraging comments. I know the owners would be more than willing to listen and improve.

These people are also supporting families and making a living. So instead of spreading hate, choose kindness. And if you can’t support, that’s okay—just don’t tear others down.

First time trying this place.. and I was disappointed. Food wasn’t great, the lamb kebab was quite salty.. I wasn’t planning on leaving a review but when I saw their tip percentage on the machine… 18% - 35%.. OKAY! People need to know this.

One of the best Persian restaurants

DO NOT GO THERE!
VERY EXPENSIVE AND UNREASONABLE PRICES
A JAR OF DOUGH FOR $17. SERIOUSLY?

MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN CACTUS CLUB

I ordered the wings over 10 times, the quality is consistent. Best wing you can find in the area. The staff are very nice.

The food at this place tastes incredibly delicious. There is simply no other place that can even compare to the food here. And the service is just as good. The atmosphere is very pleasant too and all of this combined makes me rate this place 5 stars.

I recently dined at Avishan Restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for enjoying an authentic Persian meal. Each dish was prepared with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented, showcasing rich flavors that felt both comforting and unique. The kabobs were grilled to perfection, and the saffron rice was fragrant and flavorful, bringing me right back to the heart of Persian cuisine.

The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout our meal. Overall, Avishan is a hidden gem, ideal for anyone who loves Persian food or is eager to explore new flavors. I highly recommend this restaurant for a truly memorable dining experience

Very good, this place is always recommended by my Persian friends. It feels very authentic inside, from the music to the decor. Loved the complimentary tea they provide. Food was very rich and delicious. It is a little more on the pricey side but the food comes in large portions and you can tell it is quality food.

The best Shilik ever , just like the one from Iran / Mashhad( Shandiz شاندیز every is really good. Love the way they dish the food. Highly recommend
