    Ribeye and shrimp combo is/dill rice and grilled veggies
    Lisa J.

    The three stars are for the very outstanding service , atmosphere and the Yadi's Favorite which was one of there very tasty chicken dishes. And I'm so glad my cousin let me taste it because the dish that I ordered , the combination shrimp and ribeye with dill rice was extremely bland and underwhelming. Not to mentioned the ribeye was very tough .. I've had better Persian food and wish this had been good like others I've tried, but overall was still a pleasant experience.

    Every time we come to Garson we enjoy our time. We love Persian food, and their Fecenjan is to die for! What is not to love about a delicious pieces of chicken dipped in a luscious and rich amazing pomegranate sauce?! We are obsessed with it, we have also tried their other dishes and it was all very good. We love the bread and a bonus point...it's made in house! Definitely give this place a try and you won't regret it.

    We came for dinner on a Friday evening. There was plenty of parking in their lot. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The restaurant and dining area itself were very clean. I thought the menus were nicely designed as well. All of the servers were very attentive and came by frequently to refill water. There was lots of complimentary bread as well. The bread itself wasn't the best, but I appreciated that they kept bringing more. I ordered the boneless chicken and beef koubideh with doogh. Prices and portion sizes were very reasonable. However I thought the tomatoes on the side tasted a bit too sour. The beef was cooked well, but I thought it tasted a little too salty. The chicken needed more seasoning. Overall, this is an okay place if you want affordable Persian food. But there are probably better spots to try in the area.

    Lamb shank, ribeye kabob, seafood 56. Shrimp & Salmon Kabob Combo

    Incredible food! We had the lamb - so tender! The seafood kabob was the highlight of the meal wow. Can't wait to come back!

    Okay the service alone gave this 5 stars! They were so kind, attentive and genuine. We were a big party on Mother's Day and they took care of us like family. All the food was delicious, especially the boneless chicken kabobs! The dill rice wasn't over powering with dill but definitely there. All dishes were packed with flavor and very satisfying large portions.

    The waiter here prefers to be called Garcon.

    If the capital of Nevada was Garson City, I'd never go to Nevada. That's how much I like this restaurant. One of my worst experiences in Houston. We showed up to have some delicious Persian kebabs (never been before), and I was wearing my usual muscle shirt and Barbie her usual sexy outfit, and we were told to leave or to sit in the spare room (empty, cold, by the door) separate from the dining room (nice, warm, lots of people), because my muscle shirt "isn't proper attire". Meanwhile there was people smoking in the doorway, a old smelly guy with his old man bare feet up on a chair drinking tea and reading, and 2 people vaping as well. This isn't a fine dining place, it's just a little locally owned place with decent prices which shouldn't be so judgy and prehistoric - I hate to see what would happen if they put this place in Montrose or Midtown. Those kinds of double standards are disgusting but when you consider it's a $10 Kabob place and not fancy restaurant, and that we've even in a lot of fancy restaurants (and lots of Persian places, cheap and expensive) around the country, and that I'm Persian (lol), and literally never been told to leave or change outfits even once, anywhere, you can see why it would rub me the wrong way. Besides, I didn't have any other shirts with me that day, we'd come from the gym and I only had a dirty similar shirt or the clean one I was wearing. I wanted to try all the Persian places, but I'm skipping this one and telling all my friends to do the same after the nastiness and prejudice and hypocrisy. Nearby Darband is probably the best Persian in the country anyway, so we generally tend to stick with that or the equally excellent Bijan just down the road.

    Ask for the hot tea at the end of the meal. Their salmon is so good. Don't forget to try the cheese and mint platter with the pita bread.

    Having been to Greece, I have an idea of what's authentic and Athena's is the best Greek restaurant…read morein town! I'm surprised I hadn't reviewed them yet, it's our family's go to Greek spot. Friendly atmosphere and service! Great for both dates AND family (as seemingly only Greek and Italian places do best). Of course I can't go to a Greek restaurant and not start with appetizers. Their feta and olives are fantastic! For a main, try their lamb shank-- super tender and flavorful.

When the entree arrived I thought the lamb shank looked small. Taste wise it was good but I have had better. Also the potatoes were as advertised however their appearance and taste to me was average. If I ordered this meal again I would order another side dish perhaps the rice. This meal was a 3.5. Another visit was for dinner was to try the Kokkinisto entree for $21. Again this meal comes with the same enjoyable side salad with bread and I chose the Briami as the supplied side dish. The Kokkinisto (Greek beef stew) arrived on a bed of rice and covered in its herbed tomato sauce with garlic and onions. The Briami was in a separate bowl of stewed veggies in a light tomato sauce. I liked this meal better. The stew had good flavor with tender beef and a tasty red sauce. Also the veggies were good tasting too. I gave this meal a 4. Finally the waitress was very friendly. I believe her name was Jennifer? I like this restaurant and believe they serve good tasting and authentic Greek food.

Only one other table was occupied, and someone who seemed to be the owner warmly greeted my group of 5 with some menus and an offer for Turkish coffee and tea. The lunch special is quite generous, and includes a wide array of starters and entrees. With 5 people, we tried 5 different appetizers and 5 different entrees and got a good sampling of their menu. The chicken shish kebab, falafel, lamb kebab, and menemen were all well seasoned and paired nicely with the many dishes of rice, salad, and flatbread they all came with. The lentil soup was also delicious. I was with my parents, who really only have a desire to eat East and Southeast Asian food, but they still enjoyed our meal here, which is saying a lot.

    Istanbul was an average experience for me. There are very limited vegetarian options and I was sad…read moreto see that falafel sandwiches are only offered until 4pm. The only two entrees I could see were a falafel plate and a cheese pida for vegetarians. I opted for the the cheese pida and a salad as I felt like my dinner needed some vegetables. The salad was plain tasting consisting of a lemon based dressing and cubes of tomato, cucumber, bell pepper. The dressing was not strong and I wished it had more flavor. I took it home and added my own dressing from home the next day. It's unfortunate that they charge an additional $1.50 for feta cheese which would have elevated the salad flavor. The cheese pide was good and a very large portion size. I wish there were some vegetables added however. The dough was delicious. Istanbul grill does make good bread. The pita bread was also good, very soft, and tasted fresh. It was busy on a Saturday night. Decor is minimal inside and ambiance was family friendly. Most of the tables were families with children. I will note that the interior was on the warmer side for a November night. Overall likely would not return just because of limited vegetarian food.
