We visited yet another Persian restaurant, this time with higher prices and smaller portions. We normally get two koobideh kabobs and upgrade to a special rice, but since the price point was already higher here, we stayed with the basic rice. The portion was noticeably smaller than other restaurants--we were able to split it between two people, but there were no leftovers. To their credit, they do give you complimentary pita chips with hummus. And the hummus is good! But there's no complimentary fresh pita bread, and no small plate with fresh herbs and feta. So yeah, I'll probably pass on going out of my way to come back here, but it's not bad. read more

Delicious Persian food! What a great find this was! My friend and I shared a few appetizers and everything we had was delicious. Highly recommended! read more

I had dinner at Miri's kitchen on a Friday night. I had gotten delivery from this place before and really enjoyed their chicken kebab. I've never eaten at the restaurant and I'm really glad that I tried it out this time. The interior is beautiful. There's plenty of seating and they have a really beautiful decor inside. There's also a small patio to the side if you'd like to eat outside. There's also ample parking outside the restaurant. The service was great. We were greeted right away when we walked in and the waiter checked up on us frequently throughout the meal to make sure that we didn't need anything but not too much that it was overbearing. We were served complimentary pita and hummus which was really good. I also ordered an eggplant and pomegranate appetizer which I forgot to take a photo of, but it was delicious. Very smoky flavor to the eggplant and not very tangy or too sweet from the pomegranate. It was a really good balance of flavors. I ordered the seafood combo platter for my entrée. It was combination of salmon and shrimp with a lemon butter, garlic sauce and sautéed mushrooms over rice. It was delicious. It was so much food that I ended up taking half of it home as leftovers. Miri's kitchen is really somewhat of a hidden gem. I really enjoyed my time here and will definitely be back. read more

Miri's Kitchen - Seafood Combo - salmon & shrimp with a mushroom lemon butter sauce - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Terrible customer service. I'll be taking my business elsewhere, especially since Houston has so many other Persian restaurants I can bring my family to. read more

The bread was hard and not fresh. This was a red flag from the beginning. The koobideh was mediocre and the chicken was nice with a good amount of chicken per order. The eggplant appetizer was tasty but lacked on the bold onion topping that usually comes with that dish. It's not somewhere I would take my Persian parents. read more

I stopped by for lunch on a Monday afternoon. There were only two other customers at the time, so I was seated very quickly. The free hummus was okay, but the bread was not very memorable. In the future, it might be nice if they could have warm/fresh bread. I ordered the boneless chicken kebab. The chicken was seasoned and cooked nicely. The portion size and price were also reasonable. Their lunch prices are a very good value if you are in the area. I will come back in the future. read more

Great experience for my family's first time trying a Persian restaurant. #1 The staff is super friendly and everyone provided great service from start to finish. Secondly all the food we tried was very tasty. We have some fairly picky eaters in this group however you could not go wrong with any of the kebab dishes. The chicken/beef and shrimp dishes were all delicious. I tried the ghormeh sabzi which is like a beef stew. It had some unfamiliar ingredients for me so I'm thinking that dish is more for folks that are more used to this cuisine. The waiters were quick to refill drinks and serve more delicious bread and pita (not sure what they call it here). The hummus was super tasty- some of the best I've had. I would highly recommend trying this place and supporting the folks at this cozy location. read more

Pretty good, but not quite as good as our favorite place. Here's the breakdown: I wasn't impressed with the tahdigh. As you can see, some was overdone and some underdone. Had I known there would be a perfect, golden tahdigh cake with my meal, I would've skipped the appetizer and had something else. The plate of greens, mast khiar, and complimentary hummus were yummy. The bread was good, but not the chewy traditional Persian bread I've had elsewhere. It was more of a soft white bread. Good, but not traditional. The koobideh was excellent, as was the ribeye barg. Delicious and tender. Chicken koobideh paled in comparison. Fava rice was delicious, zeresh polo was good. We topped it all off with some strong Turkish coffee, beautifully presented, Persian tea and...the epic ending...pistachio ice cream. The perfect ending! So flavorful without being too sweet. Just shy of $100 for Valentine's dinner for 2. read more

The food is mediocre, they do not put on the table the complimentary fresh Persian bread, white cheese, and the plate of veggies (parsley, basil, onions, and radishes). Their service is good and their tea is excellent with free refills. I have tried all the Persian restaurants in Houston and I can safely say that even my 3-star rating for this restaurant is probably a stretch. I ate there once but wont return to it. I wasn't impressed. read more

Went here for lunch with a party of nine. A lovely table set up, very comfortable. Slightly loud to hear everyone at our table (loud from other patrons and the background music), but it was enjoyable to chat with those in the immediate area. The staff brought out hummus and pita chips, complimentary. They were absolutely delicious. They then brought out water. They also brought out little cups with a towelette to refresh your hands and face. It was infused with some sort of essential oil. After a bit of a wait, the waitress came around and asked if we wanted anything other than water and any appetizers. I was glad that they had brought out the hummus with chips because by this time we were all starving. I ordered the boneless chicken with white rice. The chicken was seasoned great, juicy, and simply wonderful. The rice was a little dry and at room temperature. It also came with a grilled 1/2 jalapeno (with seeds) and a 1/2 tomato. When the waitress asked if everything was okay, I had to ask for more water, and then she asked if we would like any other hot spices. Multiple people at the table agreed that the spices would be great. She never came back to the table. Price-wise, my chicken lunch was $12.99 so that was decent. The atmosphere was nice. The hummus was great. I wish the spices would've been served. The waitress did accommodate the separate checks, tableside for all of us. Parking was tight, as there are multiple restaurants in this tiny area. We had to street park (be careful and pay attention to the parking signs). Within the parking lot there were multiple spots occupied by some workers' carts...not sure why they needed all those spaces, but nonetheless. read more

UPDATE - holy crap! This place has turned things around!!!! I hadn't been back since we went the first time - within a few months of them opening. Service was bad, food worse. It's like a different restaurant now. Like I said in the other review I grew up in Los Angeles (Tehrangeles) where Persian food is the best. This food this time was incredible as well. Definitely 1st or 2nd best in Houston. Mast o moosir was incredible, ghormeh sabzi, kabobs. Literally everything. read more

Came here for an early dinner on a Tuesday to celebrate a birthday. A small bowl of hummus and chips are complimentary, which is nice. We ordered the ribeye, chicken, and salmon kabobs, all were nicely seasoned and tender. For the side, you can pick between rice, salad (huge portion) or a large bowl of hummus. The place was clean and nicely decorated. Service was friendly. read more

Best Persian food I've had. My best friend is Persian so I've had Persian food/restaurants before and she suggested this place! We all went together and wow. The food is absolutely delicious. Starting with the classic mint with feta and walnuts. The feta is great here. The smoked eggplant dip is great as well. The tea with sugar cubes is fragrant. You MUST get the yogurt sauce/dip here. It goes absolutely amazing with your dinner. I put it on and eat it with everything, especially the rice and meat. For dinner I got the beyond beef kebab and my husband the combo rib eye and beef kebab plates. We subbed the regular rice with dill rice and it was all so amazing! Overall will definitely be back. Such amazing food and sweet people here. read more

horrible service. super slow, at all times. the food is very pricy for what they offer. looks like a furniture store.

Miri's is on my way to and from some regular destinations, and the menu has a specifically vegan section so it's been on my list to try. My visit was about 2:15p on a Sunday afternoon and oh the dozen or so indoor tables only one was occupied with a family of maybe 10 people who seemed to be Persian. The atmosphere is nice. Someone obviously spent time considering the decor, which is modern, upscale, and included orchids which from across the room appeared to be real. Despite the restaurant not being full, the staff and sole server vibrated with the energy of being overwhelmed. Although I was seated quickly, it took quite a long time for everything: to get water, to be greeted by the server, to place the order, and for the food to come out. When the server finally did come to the table, he placed a small bowl of hummus and pita chips down without any comment. This being my first time I did not know that the restaurant serves complimentary hummus. Initially I thought he was confused and simply put the hummus down on the wrong table. When he finally did come to take my order I had started asking the hostess about some of the menu items. Other than the sandwich, everything on the vegan menu comes with a good bit of rice. So I decided to try the sandwich. Salad arrived a bit later. It was simply mixed greens and four little tomatoes cut elegantly in halves dressed in a very tasty light vinaigrette. Sadly, one of my photos shows that the greens might not have been as fresh as they appeared on the top. Worse than the salad surprise, was my sandwich. The server made it a point to tell me that the owner of the restaurant had prepared my sandwich herself. It was basically lettuce and tomato with grilled squash and zucchini. As far as I could tell there was no dressing and no seasoning on the sandwich. It was very, very bland. A woman (presumably the owner) came out of the kitchen to ask me whether I needed vegan bread. I told her to bring out the bread that was best for the sandwich. This turned out to be a rather tough and chewy roll that was better to eat with a knife and fork than with the hands because every bite pushed the veggies out onto the plate. Although the french fries were obviously frozen, they were cooked to perfection and served hot and crispy. I haven't decided whether I will give Miri's Kitchen another chance. The salad surprise kind of put me off and the sandwich was just not tasty at all despite having very fresh vegetables in it. My first instinct was to give a single star because I don't recall being served a salad anywhere with rotten edges of leaves. I also considered leaving a two-star review because the sandwich was so bland. This is a very hopeful three-star review. Reading between the lines, the staff was probably short in the kitchen necessitating the owner cooking my sandwich herself. People were constantly coming into the restaurant picking up to go orders so it's quite possible then on a day when the place is fully staffed the experience might be much better. read more

I have heard about Miri's kitchen from my son who is a true foodie. I invited 7-8 friends from the community I live in. I was the only one with Iranian heritage. However every one enjoyed the variety and quality of the food. Great rice, great variety of Persian stews and their kabobs exceeded expectations. The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself is inviting and welcoming. I recommend Miri's kitchen both for people from a Persian heritage looking for a home made quality food and for the none Persian who wish to have a meaningful introduction to the Persian culinary scene. read more

Yum!! Yum!! This place is absolutely amazing. The food is fresh and delicious! We celebrated my friend's birthday here. . The place is modern and elegant. The food was served buffet style in large beautiful serving dishes, worthy of royalty. Appetizers included hummus, fresh fruit, and other delicious dishes. Main entrees included beef rib-eye kabab, chicken koubideh kabab, basmati rice with saffron, and a fabulous fettuccine pasta with chicken and shrimp (not on the menu, but I think this was pulled from the chef's Four Seasons' background upon our previous request!!) The service was outstanding!! read more

Nice to find a Persian restaurant in this part of town. Pros- 1. Attentive service. 2. Free crackers & a tasty dish of hummus upon arrival. 3. The 2 stews we tried- the fesenjan with half Chicken & the ghormeh sabzi were both tasty. The chicken was very tender. Both stews could benefit from leaving the vegetables & nuts in larger pieces. 4. We enjoyed the baklava very much. The pastry was fresh, texture crispy , buttery taste & rose flavor from the petals, made this a delicious end to our meal. Cons- 1. The decor while new is old fashioned. The mirrors & glass tables & gold trimmed furniture look dated. Along with the soaring ceiling & black & white color scheme this is not an inviting space. 2. The bread served with our appetizers was cold. 3. The kebabs - the meat seemed of good quality but could use more salt in the barg & Koubideh. Overall we enjoyed the meal and we plan to come back to try other dishes. read more

Delicious! If you love Persian food, this will be your new favorite. We started with the yummy complimentary hummus, and then ordered Tahdig, and Eggplant dip, they were both fabulous. For our entrees we had the Sultani and the Boneless chicken Kabob- also both delicious. All of the meats were well seasoned and very flavorful, and the rices was fluffy and yummy. I'm used to having delicious authentic home cooked Persian food, and Miri's is the only restaurant that can compare. I can't wait to return and try more items on the menu. read more

One of my favorite Persian restaurants in town! The food is phenomenal and will not disappoint. They serve complimentary hummus and pita chips as an appetizer- but I also got the Kashko bademjan (eggplant dip) and it was delicious. For your main course, I recommend the Fesenjan (Pomegranate walnut stew) and Soltani if you're a meat lover. And for dessert be sure to check out the homemade saffron ice cream! read more

Visiting Houston and I wanted to pick up a quick lunch. Called ahead and was told food would be ready in less than 10 min! Ordered the lunch ghormeh sabzi and initially thought it seemed small, but definitely was enough for me. Included plenty of rice and lavash. Of course nothing will ever be as good as my maman's cooking, but this was very close! The beef was very very tender and the stew itself was flavorful. The rice was also properly seasoned. Definitely will be back to try more food while I'm here! نوش جان! read more

Great location and great consistent food. Service is always great and the food is always great. The decoration inside is also great.

I had Miri's kitchen cater a party for over 50 people at my house. This included food, their staff to service and a bar tender. I was very impressed with their staff. Everyone was professional and classy. The bar tender was classy and did a very good job. The food presentation was EXQUISITE. We had a variety of shews, kabobs, and rice. They were all presented beautifully with mini tahchins surrounding the various rice. For the stews, we has ghormeh sabzi and fesenjoon. They were DELICIOUS. The kabobs: beef barg and koobideh and chicken koobideh were juicy,absolutely delicious and very good quality. EVERYONE was impressed with Miri's. As a persian family from LA, we are extremely picky when it comes to persian food and this restaurant is top notch in quality, taste, and presentation. read more

Gave this place a second chance and ordered via Uber eats. I immediately regretted my decision.
