The food is made to order. It's probably ideal to have his takeout, although there was one circular table with four chairs. The food tasted delicious. However, if I got the beef burger in the future, I'd ask it without ranch salad dressing just because I'm not a fan. I'd highly recommend the food and probably easier to order it ahead of time and then go pick it up. I ended up ordering it while I was there in the grocery store and had to wait around a gentleman that was running. The cash register was friendly and helpful however he wasn't from Abdullah's kitchen. He was an employee for the grocery store. I'd give the food a five out of five the atmosphere or location three out of five and the service of four out of five again this is on the actual restaurant not the grocery store

It is on the lighter side and I wish there was more protein but for the amount of sides it's pretty decent. There's a lot of options and I usually do the family meals or one entree and 3 sides.

I do prefer the 249, humble snd 110/bunker hill locations, as the quality of food is better than the SL location. Plus I feel that the food tastes more delicious at those 3 locations and it so happens that those 3 also carry Coke Zero. That's a deal any given day. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my recent outing. I I ate my go to items: hummus Baba kebabs, gyro, yellow chicken and salad. It's a hit every time. They do have workers that periodically come to pick up the plates and clean up the tables Ambiance is chill inside and it feels comfy, every time I dine.

Happily stumbled upon this place on our way out of Houston, after attending a FIFA World Cup game…read more This place is a hidden gem! Locally and family owned, we were warmly welcomed upon entering and everyone was so nice and generous with answering questions and providing samples as needed. Various prepped meat skewers were displayed behind the refrigerated counter and ready to be cooked- dishes are made fresh! Loved the variety of the simple menu. You can pick your base, protein, and lastly two sides. We sampled the okra, daal , and Afghan rice- all were delicious! Ordered : Chicken koobideh with daal and fries - delicious seasoned tender chicken atop fragrant Afghan rice. The fries were nice and crisp and drizzled with some of their specialty sauces and the daal, like a soup, was perfecto! Chicken koobideh atop Greek salad without feta. Knowing that I had a slight intolerance to dairy, they offered me a sample of all their sauces. Love!! I dipped my salad and chicken into all of them- garlic, spicy, green. For my sides - daal which they put into a bowl for me so as to not spill into my other items ( very thoughtful!) and eggplant. At the time they were sold out of the popular dish, I was disappointed and I think they couldn't help but notice the expression on my face..... but, as I was trying to figure out my other side, a shipment of eggplant came in! And they made it fresh for me! Sliced, cooked eggplant topped with a homemade tomato sauce. Everything was fabulous- from the moment we walked in, to their delicious healthy/fresh made meals, to their wonderful service and clean environment. Check them out! Military discount offered. Reasonably priced.

Came here since it was close. Looked pretty good and had nice reviews…read more Walked in and was greated by I'm guessing owner. He explained about their dishes and how everything is made home made.. They seemed very proud of their food which is a good start. Was going to order lamb plate but last minute I changed to pita wrap. The meal came with fries and drink. Total came up to around $17.31 which I feel like it was little on the high end. I was disappointed to see that they did not have a drink fountain and I had few choices of can soda from a drink cooler. Not a deal breaker but I hate paying for drink at a restaurant and I get a can soda. My food came and looked yummy. I was pleasantly surprised to see the fries topped with sauces. Started with fries and they were nice and jot/crispy. Extra sauces on them made them more flaverful. I took my bite with pita wrap and, man was it yummy. Full of flavor, I think it was lamb or lamb and beef gyro. I don't remember what the guy told me but it was very yummy. It was probably the best gyro/pita wrap that I've ever had. I would definitely come back here again if I am ever on this side of town/state.

Recommended by a friend. She really likes the pita and hummus here…read more Pita 5/5 My kids and I devour the pita. It's soft and warm. It's thin and fluffy. It kinda melts in your mouth.

Came here for lunch during Thanksgiving as my family eats late and I was starving…read more First time here and I am not disappointed. The restaurant wasn't busy at all as you can imagine on a holiday and I was sat right away. Table for 1. Forgot to take a picture of the menus but they have many options . The restaurant is pretty big and very clean . They keep the tables prepped to seat. Lots of room for large groups as well. My waiter took my order promptly . I started with the Hummus. It comes with one large Pita, seed oil, and the hummus. It was very flavorful and I really needed more Pita. The oil was a great accompaniment ( hummus on pita and dip in the oil) . I the ordered the Lamb Chops served on a bed of Biryani Rice with a grilled onion and tomato. They give you 5 lamp chops and a large portion of rice. She lamb was tender and seasoned well. The rice was very flavorful as well. Very good food. For my meal and a Turkish Coffee I paid $45 and I still have food for tomorrow as I'm going to definitely eat with family TONIGHT!!!

It wasn't the greatest start since I was waiting for 5 minutes for a host/hostess to attend to us…read more I think she was busting tables or in the kitchen but she was nice once we were accommodated. Once seated our server Baba introduced himself and made great recommendations. Now I'm not the biggest fan of hummus but I'm glad I got to try it. To start off, they brought us some complimentary bread. It came out hot & fresh. The bread was fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. I also enjoyed the roasted sesame seeds that they put on top of the bread. Then I had the mango lemonade drink which I thought was refreshing and the mango was strong. As stated I rarely eat hummus but theirs is made in house and I can tell because it was delicious. It was creamy, nutty, savory and earthy. My friend decided to get their lamb shish kabob combo and I got the soltani kabob. His came with lamb and chicken and mine came with beef tenderloin and ground beef. Both dishes were amazing especially his since the chicken was bursting with flavor. Nicely grilled and seasoned. The lamb was also solid as well, it was tendered. The beef tenderloin was also nicely seasoned & tendered. The ground beef was my least favorite since it tasted like hamburger meat, but I don't hate it. The rice was cooked to perfection. At the end I ordered their dessert and got the Bastani Irani. It says on the website that it's homemade but our server informed us that they purchased it from a vendor. Not a big deal for me since the ice cream was very good. Creamy, sweet and the nuts added texture to the dessert. Baba was kind enough to give me two more breads to take home since I still had hummus leftover, I'm definitely gonna devoured it the next day. It's rare that I eat Persian food but when I do I know it's gonna be good. They do not mess around when it comes to seasoning. Overall, good service, good food, nice decor. I'm looking forward to trying out their seafood kabob the next time I dine in. I also wanna add that this restaurant is on Yelp top 100 for recommendations and I'm not surprised.

Avesta Persian Restaurant delivers a well-rounded dining experience with a warm, inviting ambiance…read moreand genuinely friendly service that makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. It's the kind of spot that works just as well for a casual dinner as it does for a relaxed night out with friends or family. We started off with the lentil soup, which was comforting and flavorful--light yet satisfying, with a nice balance of spices. The hummus was smooth, creamy, and elevated even more by the complimentary fresh bread, which came out warm and perfectly baked--easily one of the highlights of the meal. For mains, the Koobideh Combination stole the show. The kababs were juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly, with that classic smoky flavor that makes Persian kabobs so good. Definitely the standout dish and a must-order. The Salmon & Chicken combo was equally impressive--both proteins were tender, nicely grilled, and paired beautifully with the saffron rice and grilled vegetables, giving you a great mix of flavors and textures. We also tried the Soujuk & Cheese Lahmajun, which added a nice twist to the meal. It had a crispy base with rich, savory toppings, and the cheese brought everything together really well--great for sharing. Avesta is a solid go-to for Persian cuisine in Houston. Between the quality of the kababs, fresh bread, and overall flavor, everything hit the mark. Pair that with the great atmosphere and welcoming staff, and it's definitely a place worth coming back to
