The lamb, the rice, and just absolutely everything, my goodness, does it remind me of my mother-in-law’s Mediterranean food. People are slacking if they don't come here! Many places are hit or miss, but this one is absolute perfection!

We love Ali and Zands. He puts his heart and soul into this food and it is delicious from the fluffy rice to the spot on spicy hummus. The gyro pkaye is my fave!!!

I’ve never written a review before, but Ali, the owner of Zand’s, truly deserves it. Walking into Zand’s and being greeted by Ali’s big smile feels like coming home after a long day. He has this amazing energy— kind, welcoming, and full of life— that instantly makes you feel at ease.
There’s something special about the way Ali runs his restaurant. He pours his heart into every plate and treats every guest like family. His joy is infectious, his kindness genuine, and his generosity unmatched.
And the food? Incredible. Every bite tastes of passion, love, and tradition. Ali makes sure each plate is crafted to your liking, and his hospitality makes you feel like family.
Zand’s and Mr. Ali are reql treasures in BCS and we are so lucky to have them! I recommend this place to anyone and hope Ali’s business continues to grow and thrive—because people like him and places like Zand’s make ordinary days feel special.

I like the lamb kubideh a lot, but everything's really great. The flavors you get here are amazing, and the owner is really nice. You know he named this restaraunt after his son, right? He's a really sweet guy. Anyway, it's pretty yummy here.

This is the 4th time I’ve eaten here and I would highly recommend anyone to come eat here
Me my wife and a friend shared the small eco plate and left full and happy. I would also highly recommend the gyro, it’s extremely well done and perfectly balanced.
The owner is a wonderful man who makes sure every need is met.
Delicious food and amazing service, the owner was super nice!

Very rarely I give a 5 star in all categories. The food itself was cooked correctly, the taste was great, but the service is what elevates it beyond. The owner is extremely kind and that's what makes this a great spot. Zabihah Halal.

I went with three other people, we got gyro plate, chicken sheesh plate, beef sheesh plate, and the steak plate. Everything tasted great, it was all very fresh. The food took a while to come but you can tell they cook it fresh. The service was friendly.
We visited Zand Persian Kebabs and had an amazing experience! I ordered the lamb koobideh wrap, and my husband had the lamb koobideh kebab with rice. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, some of the best Iranian food you can find in Texas. The flavors were authentic, fresh, and perfectly prepared.
What made it even better was the hospitality. The owner is very kind and welcoming, and despite having several staff members, he personally makes sure customers are greeted warmly and that the food quality is excellent.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for genuine Persian food and great service. We’ll definitely be coming back!
