Avesta Persian Grill

"We were invited to lunch at this restaurant by some friends. It's a really nice restaurant. Very neat and clean and service is excellent. For starters we ordered the eggplant dip (Kashke Bademian). This was definitely my favorite dish. We share the Royal Platter for 6, plus a smaller platter of rice and shrimp. It was a nice variety of food...something for everyone. For drinks we had the mango lemonade and mango Lassi. We enjoyed our meal."

"I ordered the combination kubideh of beef and chicken. It was delicious. This was my first time trying Persian food so I had no idea what to expect. The rice was cooked just right. The butter was so good on the rice. The beef and chicken were cooked perfectly. The grilled tomatoes were even good too. Huge portion. My party couldn't finish their food and had to get it for to-go. I also enjoyed their naan bread and hummus. The bread itself was hot and crunchy. Services were good. Our waitress refilled our water frequently. We had a large party of 14 but everything went smoothly."

"Avesta Persian Grill is an excellent restaurant with a professional staff and incredible food! Upon arriving, the staff up front was very welcoming, with a friendly greeting and we were shown to a table. First, I have to highlight our waitress Aaliyah! Such an incredible waitress, with a very engaging personality and a vast knowledge of the menu. She made my party feel like we were the only people in the restaurant. Our drink order was promptly taken and brought right away along with fresh bread and sabzi ( parsley, basil, feta cheese and cucumber), which is included with the meal. To start off I ordered Tahdig (rice crust) which is not always available but in this instance, it was. The tahdig was brought out with a small bowl of Ghormeh Sabzi to top the tahdig. I enjoyed this appetizer so much. The wonderful crispity crunch of the rice covered in ghormeh sabzi was quite the combination. Persian Hummus and Shirazi Salad were ordered for the table as well and were both excellent. Service was exceptionally quick and soon the main dishes of Lamb Shish Kabob and Koobideh Combination (beef and chicken) arrived. All three meats were succulent and savory. Cooked to perfection, the meats were tender and juicy. The meat was also very generously portioned. The grilled veggies and saffron basmati rice perfectly complemented and enhanced the dishes. This was a truly excellent meal and displays the quality of Persian/Iranian cuisine. Throughout all of this fabulous meal, Aliyah was there to guide us through the journey with an authentic sense of genuine hospitality and interest in making this a memorable experience. She deserves her own five stars because her service reflected the quality of the restaurant and its food. The chef cooked an amazing meal! The restaurant itself was very clean, spacious and sophisticated. Truly an experience and one I hope to repeat soon, the next time I’m in the area."

"The food was good. Really liked the bread and appetizer and the steak was cooked perfectly but I found a bunch of grey hair in the rice and it really just threw me off of wanting to come back. The server was amazing about it and gave us a discount. I just can't trust to eat here again without having to inspect my food."
