    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.

    Hot tea, hummus and bread (they are very generous on refilling the bread plate)

    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.

    Tahdigh, very crunchy

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Vegan veggie sandwich. Read the review.
    Benjamin B.

    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.

    This was our second visit. Food is wonderful, restaurant is beautiful, and staff are friendly. I wish we didn't have to drive so far, but we are glad we did!

    Rib eye Kebab

    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!!

    I used the food delivery option ordered the boneless chicken and soup of the day. I give 3 star for the chicken only. The price is high. The soup of the day (Ashresteh) was flavorless.

    Do you serve halal meat?

    No.

    Someone posted a pic of a gorgeous platter but I don't see any platters on the menu. How do I order this?

    We asked to be served family style, so our three entrees were served on one platter to share.

They offer complimentary valet parking, and both indoor and outdoor seating. On busy weekend nights, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. I didn't have one, so I sat at the bar, but still received full service. I ordered the koobideh kabab, which came with complimentary fresh hot bread, plus a plate of vegetables. The kabab itself was good as well. I also tried the naranj soda, which tasted really refreshing. Service was okay, but it was a busy night.

We arrived at the restaurant and waited for more than 30 minutes while our kids were hungry, and nobody seemed to even look up. After we had bothered the hostess several times that we are waiting to be seated, we were repeatedly told to wait. Finally, after nearly 40 minutes of waiting, we threw in the towel and left. They did not seem to care. The problem with restaurants becoming as popular as this place is that, as the customer base grows, they will care less and less. It seemed to us that they had overbooked the restaurant and were unable to find seating. The food may be good, but if the service is not commensurate with that, there is no point to dining at a place like this. It behooves management to pay attention to how many reservations they take and their ability to honor customers to reserved ahead.

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

The beef is so well-seasoned, so juicy, rich and has a great charbroiled / charcoal aroma to it. I think the exact same for the ground chicken, but less fatty, still very juicy and lighter flavor profile. The shrimp were simple, mild in seasoning, but so succulent, fresh and cooked just right. They didn't taste like frozen, bagged shrimp that was cooked, but fresh and slightly sweet with some char. The dill rice is full of lima beans, buttery / oily to the right amount and just the perfect level of earthiness. Great, fully cooked tomatoes that pop in your mouth. I had a bit of a sore throat today, but the food here was a wonderful way to pleasure the pallet. Most Persian restaurants in Houston have 0 charbroil or charcoal taste, bad meat full of fillers and minimal seasoning in their meat, but just 3-4 do it right. This place absolutely nails it for kabobs and can easily compete with California in the Orange County area where top notch Persian restaurants are common.
