Needed a fix of solid Persian food. We had the platter for 2, the smoked eggplant dip and hummus with pita. Food was quick and delicious! The quality of the grilled meats was excellent, nicely seasoned without too much salt and the rice was fantastic! Important for the rice to be fluffy separate grains. The eggplant had a smoky and slightly sweet mellow taste. The hummus was creamy and not garlicky which is a nice change from that thick crap you buy at the grocery store. Our meats were yummy with steak, chicken and ground beef. A large salad was included which I enjoyed too. My gf took home all the leftovers. Our bill was $73. including 2 fountain drinks. You order at the counter and they’ll bring your food to the table with real metal cutlery and not plastic. Seating is tight as there’s only 6 tables. We arrived Friday at 545pm and it got busy especially with take out orders. Parking is a bit tough out front due to the density of shops here but if you don’t mind walking, you can park further away in the complex with no issues. Simply scan the QR code to register your license plate for free 2 hour parking. Overall, a solid meal and I’ll be back to try more items such as their other kebabs and stews. Support a local business and show these friendly folks some love!
This is a small, cozy family run restaurant serving authentic Persian food. Food was freshly made and tasted good. Lamb chop was juicy. Best part was the French fries, really crispy. Space is quite small and seating is limited. Overall, this is a nice place in NW Calgary to try authentic Persian food.
It has small seating place but food was great, spice level as just awesome and i had the taste of the meat instead of spice and I liked it. Portions could be little more generous otherwise everything else was awesome.
Small restaurant with 5-6 four person tables in a shopping center in North Calgary. Fresh food off the grill with some season specialities like ASHE which is a noodle based soup. Great selection of kabobs fresh off the grill and a few other Persian favorites like fesenjan. Seems to be a popular take out spot but it's also def worth sitting in, listening to some Persian music and enjoying the experience. A little more decorations inside would have been nice, but the food is exceptional and makes up for any lack of interior design. I would definitely go back. If your in for something unique try the yogurt drink.
I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s truly one of the best Persian restaurants I’ve ever visited in Canada. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. I absolutely loved my order — the Kabab Koobideh was delicious, made with fresh ingredients, and you could really smell the BBQ aroma. I’m already counting down the days until my next visit!
Congratulation!
