I stopped by Fista Grill recently and decided to try the salmon plate. The salmon itself was fresh but came out a little bland—definitely could use more seasoning or a stronger flavor. On the bright side, the rice was perfectly cooked, fluffy, and a great base for the meal. The real highlight for me was the hummus. It was creamy, rich, and made to absolute perfection—it honestly stood out more than the main dish.
The restaurant itself is very clean, and the atmosphere feels inviting. The staff was extremely warm and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Food here is cooked fresh, so you should expect to wait around 15–25 minutes, but it’s worth it knowing your meal isn’t just sitting around.
Overall, while the salmon could have been better, the combination of great hummus, well-cooked rice, fresh food, and friendly service makes Fista Grill a solid place to stop by if you’re in the area.

I have been eating here for over 10 years and this place is amazing. The owner of Franco is a wonderful person and the waitresses are very nice. Even though the restaurant is Persian, the owner is Mexican and he can cook better Persian food than most Persians.
Easy Going
I was craving Mexican food, and hadn't eaten all day, so i swung in this establishment. Prices are real fair. Food is pretty good. Crank it up a notch, and the food will be awesome. I had the taco, rice and beans combo plate, and you get (2) tacos! It was definitely filling. I like my Spanish food with lots of cheese - not just sprinkles. But I didn't asked for it, so no criticism there. They've got an extensive array of foods - with photo pictures of them. They take major credit cards. Clean. Plenty of tables and chairs for a relatively small eatery. I think it's kind of a nieghborhood place. The two workers were sweethearts. I wanna go back and try their other offerings. Parking is average. It's located in a (long) stip mall type place. It gets busy. 5 stars!

This restaurant gets no stars For the awful quality of their stews.ghormeh sabzi Tasted like nothing tasted like water. The meat had no flavor. The herbs did not taste decent . The Ash What’s awful tasteless and on the hole it was disgusting experience. I hope and pray that your dishonest business never flourishes according to your practice.
