I ordered this with a 70% discount from Uber Eats. I ordered the special Kabob Kubideh, lamb souvlaki wrap, and Greek salad. The wrap was good but needed more vegetables. The Greek salad was bland and needed more vegetables other than raw onions, it was a bit bland. The special meat was delicious as was the garlic sauce. I would like to try other items read more

10/10 I had the sultani kebab with Mast o Musir and Mirza Ghasemi. Basmati rice was cooked well. Both skewers had great taste and flavor. The yogurt and garlic was so delicious and nice on top of the rice with a piece of kebab. Mirza Ghasemi has so m much flavor. Definitely coming back next time I'm In Calgary! The owner is also the head chef and had a chat with me in Farsi and made me feel like a regular customer. It's a very small place but you can smell the food walking a full block away. read more

We tried soltani and jojeh plus mirza ghasemi and ghorme sabzi as part of a take out. With the exception of kebab barg which was nothing like a standard or high quality kebab, the rest of the items were pretty good. The highlight was the mirza ghasemi which was exceptionally tasty. Canned doogh was also new to us and was very tasty even though it was not sparkling. Overall a good experience! Please work on the quality of your kebab barg. read more

Very busy place. Guess since it is one of the few halal restaurants serving quality Persian food. I enjoyed it - really large portions at very reasonable pricing. Just took our large group a really long time to get a seat as the place is kind of small. Nice! read more

WOW!!! I came to visit Calgary and was in the mood for persian food. This place did not disappoint. The food was cooked to perfection, juicy, and just delicious. They have all kinds of kabobs and stews. Staff is warm, friendly, and very welcoming. Highly recommend this place! read more

I love, love, love this food. It's Iranian, made by Iranians. I've been here 4 or 5 times in the last two months. First of all it's reasonably priced. $17 for two kebabs of your choice on a plate of rice with a tomato, cuke, and onion salad. The kebabs are large pieces of chicken or lamb and they are marinated in a lemon-oil-parsley marinade and served with a garlic sauce - to die for. The onions in the salad are too large for me and the rice was bland, so after the first time, I've just ordered two kebabs and the garlic sauce. I always get one chicken and one lamb. Each are $7.99. Very reasonable. There's also a bit of parking around the back (6-8 cars). read more

Good food, friendly staff, decent prices. Delicious Kalleh Pache ,Halim, Ghormeh Sabzi and Sultani. Don't forget to drink Dough. read more

This restaurant is amazing! My family and I have been coming to this family-run restaurant for a few years now. Their food is authentic, delicious and very warming. They also have amazing ice cream! It's pistachio and rosewater, might not sound as good as people think, but it is amazing!!! House of Kabob has been offering great services for a really long time. My family and I order from there at least once a month, sometimes more. Highly recommend their food if you're looking for authentic, amazing Iranian food!! read more

Was passing through Calgary and stopped by . They offered Dizi . So yummy and nice Friendly staff. Clean and healthy read more

House of Kabob - Dizi - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Worst service I've ever had!! We walked in, seated ourselves, waited about 3-4mins for a menu (no big deal). But, a total of 20 mins went by before we decided to leave! We did not even receive water in that time. But I will tell you what I witnessed. I witnessed three tables completed their meals and cleared the restaurant. Two tables cleared their meals and got served drinks, but did not leave yet. I'm certain our server pasted by us over a dozen times. But worst of all, at the 20 minute mark, at THE moment we decided to leave, a table whom had walked in just 3mins before, received their menus AS THEY WERE GETTING SEATED, and 1min later the order was being taken by the server!!! THAT was the moment when we made our decision. All the while, we had not yet even received WATER!! 20 minutes! Might I add, in the first 15 mins, my husband and I were pretty content with our own company and I wasn't really paying attention to the lack of service. But, when the two tables had cleared, paid, left the building, and one more table arrived to be served before our order could even be heard is...dare I say is - DISCRIMINATION!!! As we were leaving, the server didn't even look at us to apoligize, or get any sort of explanation from us. No eye contact at all! I am so hurt, and terribly dissapionted. I normally don't even do reviews, and certainly wouldn't do them immediately after such an emotional experience. I would wait to calm down and give a "rational" review. But this particularly feeling I'm feeling is not something I want to mask. I wanted to share it because it was unethical and not necessary. We love trying new foods and often support local businesses. I'm still trying to make sense of it all. Were we really the victim of discrimination? I guess I don't know for sure, but the facts are: we were the minority in the room (not an issue for us, by the way) and MANY other people were served in many different ways before we were even considered. All I do know for certain Ian that we will never again set foot in House of Kabob! read more

We were in the mood for halal and this was super close to our Airbnb, so we thought we'd give it a try. I had the chicken souvlaki and the hubs had the mixed souvlaki with chicken and lamb. Both were very flavorful and tender but the rice wasn't as good as you'd expect. We ordered hummus on the side and it was ok, but seemed very watery/runny compared to what I'm used to. We'd eat it again, but it probably wouldn't be my first choice for halal. read more

No bad, the food is Good, Service is standard. Most of the times, I order for pick up, the only negative thing is, Sometimes they include Bread and sometimes not. and I am deducting one star for that read more

The Sultani is amazing, and other menu items are tasty too. However, the dining area is small and can get crowded.

We get takeout from House of Kabob all the time! Great food & great prices! The owner and staff are always very friendly as well. Recommend! read more

Truth is that of all the Iranian restaurants in Calgary, there is not one that I can call perfect. You have to compromise on the venue, to get good food, or go to a nice place and get bad service. House of Kabab has one of the better Kababs I have tried in Calgary and their staff are friendly, if only they had a bigger nicer place! read more

This is one of the better Iranian restaurants in town. And the staff and owner are quite personable. Service is friendly and food is good! Be sure to ask about the items on the menu if you are unfamiliar with Iranian cuisine. I recommend Sultani for kabobs and Fesenjoon for stew. Those are my faves! Also ask for the day's specials, you just might get nice delicacies that arent on the menu. :) The missing fifth star is for the decor and general look of the resto. It's such a minor point though. We always come back for more yummy goodness! :) read more

House of Kabob - Kalapache is an Iranian delicacy & a must-try for the adventurous. Not on the menu but ask for the specials and you might get lucky! - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Good food, good prices, good service and good people...satisfaction guaranteed...good location...easy parking...I suggest people to try this Persian restaurant and enjoy a wonderful day... read more

Defiantly below average kebab restaurant. The chicken is okay but the beef was not good at all, you can easily tell it's just cheap group beef mashed together. The atmosphere is not very friendly at all, we walked in there and everyone at the restaurant just stared at us the whole time. Much better kebab places in Calgary. read more

In a hungry state we sat down to a meal here, which was nice because there is definitely limited seating. I ordered the souvlaki platter, simple enough. My boyfriend thought it would be a "great" idea to order a steak, which was the most expensive item on the menu. The waitress tried to warn him that it wasn't as good as another dish when we placed our orders. But the boss is stubborn and kept with his original decision which then led to me, being very impressed by my fresh tasting meal and flavorful rice, and him complaining about everything having no taste. The waitstaff were attentive, they offer Deli items at the till, and I would go back if in the area, and a quiet night. read more

Great quality kabob, best value for money out of all the kabob places in the city. The employees are very friendly, service is decent. The Ice cream is also very very good. Cons: the doogh is home made and not great especially since they can order from arvand and use that read more

I can't get enough of this place, amazing food , reasonable price and consistent quality. Must try if you guys haven't. You won't regret it.

Passing through town wanted a kabob place. Went based on the good reviews here. Food wasn't great. Waiter gave my husbands meal to next table over where he saw the lady dig in and begin eating. They realized mistake, took meal from her and gave it to my husband. when he said what he saw the waiter said no, she never touched it. Place needs a very good cleaning everywhere too. If the light switches are grimy makes me wonder about everywhere else. read more

Food was ok for the price you are paying. Worse service ever! They moved 2 tables for 2 to accommodate us 4 people. The tables are uneven. One higher than the other. One table is wobbly. Then a few minutes later a table was free. They didn't move us. Just left us in the crampy area. We even had to ask for a garlic sauce when I saw they were giving some to the people who just came in. We asked for water. Didn't really bring water right away. Instead filled the glasses of the other table not asking for water. We were only given 2glasses. We had to share the glass with one another. Service is better when the owner is around. Never going back. read more

Simple, healthy, and delicious food. Service is fantastic. Lamb souvlaki is incredible. My wife and I eat here at least twice a month.

Love the food here. The Jujeh (chicken breast pieces on skewers is AMAZING! So good and so healthy. Only reason I'm not giving it a 5star is the service. It's not bad, just non-existent. Have to try this place out! read more

The food is pricy, the environment does not look very nice and Alberta Health Services says they once found mouse droppings in the place!!

Amazing food and reasonable priced. Friendly staff. Great service. Gets quite busy which means it is good.

An excellant place both interms of taste and price. Delicious Persian Cusine! We love the kobeedays, Kabob Sultanis, house made garlic sauce, Hummus, saffron rice!! read more

What a nice surprise. I was just driving by and decided to stop and check it out. Not a very inviting place from the outside but once you're in the hospitality and food is a whole different story. I had ground chicken and beef kabob's with saffron rice. I know my kabobs so believe me when I say they were very good. Cooked just right and flavorfull. Now take note this is a Persian restaurant so light on spice yet good flavor. Owners wife was so helpful, when I asked questions about another dish (Ghormeh Sabzi), she offered to bring out a bowl for me to try at no additional cost, that had just been cooked. She also poured me Persian tea to try. All the food was amazing and hospitality was warm and inviting. I will definitely go back to try some of the other stews... read more

Excellent Persian food! 5 stars for the taste and the price. My wife prefers Atlas which is another 5 star Persian restaurant but I like the more simple atmosphere here. We go to both places once or twice a month. read more

The food is really delicious here I usually go with my Persian friends and it is their favorite Iranian restaurant. It is very small inside, only about 6 tables. So make a reservation if possible before you go. read more

Food is great, and an awesome VFM. Service is pretty decent as well.

I have had the chance of eating at this restaurant on several occasions. The staff is very friendly and the owner is absolutely a great guy who is very humble and tries his best to make sure that his guests come back by providing clean and friendly service. Although I always liked to try their everyday special, I really loved the Zereshk Polo (which is steamed rice cookedwith barberry and served with special chicken and gravy n salad). I also loved all the exotic Persian kebobs, especially kebob kubideh at this restaurant. I wholeheartedly recommend this easy-on-pocket and great-on-taste-buds Persian restaurant. A must would be to try the special and authentic Persian tea at the end of your meal. read more

I've always wanted to go here, as I drive past it all of the time. So I was very excited to try it out this last week. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. We were barely greeted when we walked in and were waved to a corner of the restaurant to find our own table. Normally this isn't a big deal to me, but it's one part of an accumulation of things so bear with me. No one came to our table so after 10 minutes we grabbed our own menus. 5 minutes after that, our server came, and She asked us what we wanted to drink. I don't drink soft drinks, and wasn't feeling in the mood for alcoholic beverages, so I ordered water. I got the feeling she was annoyed that we didn't order more because it took a while to get them. Already a long time to wait for water. When we ordered food, my date and I ordered the most interesting and authentic looking things on the menu. And I asked for the fresh carrot juice for good measure. I was confused when I was told that they were "running out of carrot juice" (present tense). I said, "sooo you don't have any carrot juice? Orrrrr..." And she said yes. So I still have no idea what was going on with that, if they were saving what carrot juice they had left or the server just said the wrong thing, but there was no clarification or explanation. When our food came, I found it really bland. We both had very different dishes (stew and kebabs) and I was hoping for more flavour than we got. Halfway through the meal, the server told me they had carrot juice so even though I was kind of over it already, I said yes, hoping to be wowed. Nope. Nothing special. Overall, I rate places based on ambiance, service and food. This really had nothing going for it. Usually I'll give places a second chance but I really don't think that you'll find me here again. read more

Not bad place. Cozy. A little disorganized. Meat is OK. Price is very reasonable. The other competitors are Atlas and Shirazi. All about equal, maybe Atlas/Shirazi slightly better. But I haven't tried everything at house of kabab yet..would definitely visit it again. read more

This is such a great place and it's with in spitting distance of my front door. I've been a regular customer for a few years now and have sent lots of friends too. A combo of fresh food and great prices keep them on my speed dial. I do mostly order to go so we can have a glass of wine with meal. They don't serve any alcohol and are really busy most times so more comfortable at my big table or on the deck.. I've read some of the other reviews and they are all great except for a couple of trolls and maybe some folks getting poor table service but as mentioned they are super busy most times so i'm sure it was un intentional they didn't get the service they should have. read more

Affordable and good quality. A bit cozy and old place, but above average environment. Good menu, totally satisfactory experience.

Not sure why everyone is dissing the service. We had excellent service and the food really good and priced well. We will def be back.
