Avishan in Langley

I ordered kask bademjoon, the worst thing I ever experienced!!!!

I had an incredible dining experience at Avishan Restaurant! The service was excellent attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Everything about my visit was perfect, and I can t recommend this place enough to anyone looking for an outstanding Persian dining experience. I ll definitely be back for more! Food : 5/5

Wonderful

The best Shilik ever , just like the one from Iran / Mashhad( Shandiz every is really good. Love the way they dish the food. Highly recommend

Expensive and expensive for that restaurant

One of the best Persian restaurants in Greater Vancouver Region. Parking: 3 hours free Food : 5/5 |

I recently dined at Avishan Restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for enjoying an authentic Persian meal. Each dish was prepared with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented, showcasing rich flavors that felt both comforting and unique. The kabobs were grilled to perfection, and the saffron rice was fragrant and flavorful, bringing me right back to the heart of Persian cuisine. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout our meal. Overall, Avishan is a hidden gem, ideal for anyone who loves Persian food or is eager to explore new flavors. I highly recommend this restaurant for a truly memorable dining experience

The service was bad and the food wasnt that delicious.

My favorite food experience. Great service.

The food is really really delicious but price little bit high.. i was took Soltani and all crew is friendly.

I ordered the wings over 10 times, the quality is consistent. Best wing you can find in the area. The staff are very nice.

Cosy and friendly place. Best grilled foods. Best servers. Best Persian food in Vancouver. Absolutely, they have kept the Persian style in their food after a long time. Food

Highly recommend it. They even took discover CC . I wish they gave us bread to go with it as we sort of antislcipated Food

Food prices were much more expensive than other places and The taste of the food was not good at all

Food was excellent Great service and a good atmosphere Food

As a Persian person and I love our foods and I try a lot restaurants.This food was one of the Horrible and worst food experience I had in my whole life and I got embarrassed front of my Canadian friends because I talk a lot about our foods.But now I need to take them to the real restaurant.Please dont waste your money and dont waste your time

First time trying Persian cuisine and oh my best wings I have ever had and the meal was ridiculously good .. now I m back home in kelowna googling Persian food lol definitely will go back when I m down again.. tre server was so friendly and just beautiful..

It was my first time at Abidjan. They served us complementary saffron tea to start which was a nice touch. We ordered the halim bademjam as our starter which was delicious. For our mains, we ordered the soltani, vaziri, bakhtiari, and lamb shoulder. The stand out dish was the lamb shoulder. It was tender, melted in our mouth and was heavenly. I highly recommend this restaurant. Can t wait to go back

Great food, fast and friendly service.

Shishlik was so yummy and the taste was heavenly great. The meat was tender and juicy, I ate the whole thing, even though it was quite heavy for one person. Soltani perfectly cooked and the flavor was amazing. The environment was clam and friendly and its service was second to none. We were served with complimentary tea. Everything was honestly delicious and we cannot wait to go back.

Quality food and good customer service

we drove tow time a week from Vancouver to this restaurant the kabab taste like homemade I cannot describe it by writing. You guys have to try-it super delicious. The shoulder also so good and cake. I will try today and I willwrite today and i will write other review.

Avishan is easily one of my favorite Persian restaurants, and it stands out for its authentic flavors and inviting atmosphere. Their Persian kebabs are perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, and they always come with a generous serving of fragrant jasmine rice mixed with zershik (barberries), which adds a tangy sweetness that complements the meat beautifully. One of the things I love most about this place is that the jasmine rice with zershik is bottomless yes, they keep refilling it without hesitation, ensuring you never run out! Alongside the delicious kebabs and rice, you re also served grilled tomatoes and onions, which add a smoky, savory touch to the meal. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, maintaining the rich and authentic flavors of Persian cuisine. Avishan is a great place to visit with your partner or friends for a relaxed meal. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it ideal for intimate dinners or small gatherings. Whether youre new to Persian food or a longtime fan, Avishan delivers a consistently satisfying dining experience. If you re craving authentic Persian kebabs and endless servings of delicious rice, this restaurant should definitely be on your list.

Thank you for foods and services.

We walked in and saw the menue. And left! There are many more Middle Eastern establishments, 10 fold luxry, yet valued real better.

Good service. Delicious food

One of the best grill middle east restraunt in Langley. Especially the grilled rack of lamb, delicious.

If you are looking for a good persian restaurant in Langley - BC , Avishan is a good one. We went there today and it was a good experience. The food was so good and tasty. I liked Zeitoon Parvardeh (Marinated Olives with Walnuts) . At the beginning they brought safroon tea , but in my opinion it should be served after the meal.

I ordered from Avishan on Uber eats. Delicious Persian food, but I was surprised with the chicken that came with the Vaziri kebab. I wish the Uber eats menu was more clear that the chicken in vaziri is not the same as chicken kebab. Otherwise it was great

We are visiting Langley from out of town and decided to try something we didn t have at home. It was seriously good! I had the salmon kabab and my partner had the lamb tenderloin. Both were absolutely incredible, came with a ton of food and were super reasonably priced. Would absolutely come back!!

Delicious perdian food. Superb home style family service. Food

The best Persian restaurant and best customer service. I love it.

Pros: Friendly staff, excellent service, and attractive wall posters showcasing famous Iranian landmarks. Cons: The Koobideh kebab is too oily, and the decor is plain and lacks excitement. I understand that Koobideh is a tricky dish to perfect, but my expectations are high! Otherwise, it doesnt truly capture the essence of Iranian cuisine.

Awesome food as always, the food is made fresh grilled and the chef is hand fanning it as in the traditional ways, love the open kitchen as it inspires confidence. Outside of North Vancouver this is my go to place for Persian/Iranian food. Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options.

I can t say enough of their lamb shank, the best taste ever, but the Koobideh was kinda the worst.

It was our first time trying this restaurant, we had a home catering for years and I say this as a professional cook that yesterday was a great experience with Avishan restaurant . Thanks for your very good service and excellent foods. I recommend it to everyone .

Best persian food in BC

It was a delicious Kebab like I had in Iran.

I had an amazing dining experience at Avishan Restaurant! The food was delicious, the ambiance was perfect, and the service was exceptional. If youre looking for a great place to enjoy a meal, I highly recommend Avishan.

Good and friendly manner waitress. But Not cooked both sides koobide, raw on one side,not a tasty jooje and chenje, rather bland Food : 1/5

My partner and I had lunch at Avishan and found the experience to be a mix of highs and lows. The ambiance left much to be desired, and the service could certainly use some improvement. The server was not particularly friendly or welcoming, which dampened the overall experience from the start. On a more positive note, the Kobbideh was excellent juicy and flavorful, a definite highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the chicken kebab did not measure up, lacking the taste and quality I was expecting. The tea served with the food was delightful, adding a nice touch to the meal. However, I was quite disappointed to notice that the water glasses were clearly dirty, which raised concerns about the overall cleanliness of the establishment.

I got Koobideh, so good , traditionally prepared and served. Definitely worth the price

Highly recommended, it was the best kebab I ve ever eaten in Vancouver. The staff were amazing and served free welcome tea.

The best Persian kabab in the entire region! Bravo l!

Excellent food! We got the Soltani plate, the scallion/yogurt/dill dip, and tried the pistachio cake. Everything was delicious and the tea was a nice treat to start the meal. Service was also excellent. If I get back to the area, I d definitely come back again!

I do not recommend this restaurant at all! The restaurant is so small and the AC was not strong enough and the whole time we were sitting there sweating and feeling uncomfortable. The service was horrible! Waitress was not friendly neither polite. She seemed overwhelmed and confused. It took so long to serve our food. Food was okay the neck lamb was extremely oily and lamb chop was just okay. She didn t check up on us at all to see if we need anything else. We had to wave at her to come over to our table asking her to bring the bill. Instead she decided to assume we all pay together and put all items on one bill and put it in front of the oldest person. I was so embarrassed as we did not want him to pay for us but she kinda forced us into that situation. Plus one person in our table ordered lamb neck without checking with her they decided to bring her lamb shoulder because they sold out. Again she forced her into it. Even when we politely at the end brought it up to her attention as a feedback she never apologized or made us feel better about it, instead she started saying oh they are the same and taste the same thats why we did it. If we knew you sold out lamb neck we might have ordered something else why do you think is alright to decide for your customer. Very poor experience overall and I hope they improve so other customers don t experience the same.

Our family loves coming here! Truly a hidden gem in Langley, the kebabs are some of the best weve ever had.

Great restaurant with friendly staff l, would reccomend

Very tasty good portion

Good portion & tasty food

Cute place with amazing food... wish they would serve french fries in their menu too...

Don t leave this place without trying lamb shank or lamb neck or lamb shoulder. Trust me you will never find a better place to eat those in the whole world. I am not exaggerating. Just go and try. That s all I can say.

A real hidden gem.

Lamb shank and shashlik was amazing! Honestly the best in Metro Vancouver, I would definitely recommend and will come back again

Delicious lamb dishes!

We just left the restaurant! Delicious food (Olives starter, main shoulder MELTING, EXCELLENT baklava on the perfect sweetness). Certainly will be back. Also, the lady that took care of me and my fiancé was very patient!

After trying out Avishan once I will definitely be back I hadnt eaten in a Persian style restaurant before and was glad to have tried it. The meal was deliciously prepared and well presented. Mostly lamb or chicken based with some other offerings of beef, fish etc as well. I found the service to be attentive and friendly. Over all, an excellent experience and I very much recommend it.

Best persian restaurant in all BC

Very tasty

Excellent Iranian restaurant with amazing service. Highly recommended!!

One of the best Persian food in grater Vancouver

Very fresh and tasty.

Amazing portion size and flavour on the kebab. Great taste and authentic

Everything we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend. Food takes longer to come but that was to be expected as food is made fresh. Perfectly seasoned.

The only thing was the meat that was good. Otherwise the service was terrible. She wasn t kind and not smiling . She asked when we re going to pay. They were like trying to kick us out. There is no customer service.

This place is my go to for the slow cooked juicy Shoulder or Neck. Super tasty like nothing else. They serve a complimentary steeped tea which I could smell saffron in it. Love it! Food

Low quality food and expensive ,we found hair in our food ,owner is unpolite and unprofessional

Worst costumer service

So delicious and fresh

Bar none, the best lamb (tenderloin) that I have ever had and the mashed eggplant appie was divine! I will definitely become a regular.

Hidden gem Persian Resto in downtown Langley. Tasty. Bit pricey.

The best kabob I ve had in Vancouver area. I travel for business and have been lucky to try Persian food everywhere and this kabob was one of the best in Canada. Food was top notch. Keep up the great work

Staff amazing, food amazing, did I say food was amazing.... We ordered wings, and the first two dishes on the menu it was amazing. We can not wait to come back.

Going all the way to Langley for steak and added a lamb shank to the meal. Totally worth it!

Amazing staff, delicious food Thank you

The restaurants prices are exorbitant, and the portions are incredibly small. We spent $85, yet we left feeling hungry. Additionally, we were shocked to discover that they only refill your tea if you speak Farsi; if you don t theyll charge you for the refill. This policy is utterly ridiculous!

Food is great but the service is pretty poor, one person serves half of the time and it usually takes an hour of waiting.

The quality of the food was average and the preparation time of the two dishes was very different. Both dishes should be prepared and served together, I suggest not to eat grilled salmon in this restaurant.

Great little unpretentious restaurant. The food is flavourful, and good value. I totally enjoyed the kebab chicken it was juicy and cooked perfectly

Casual dining with amazing food and excellent service! Extremely popular so make a reservation and save room for their Pistachio Cake, out of this world! We ll be back soon and bringing family.

I will write this review in Farsi and give five stars so that it does not affect non-Iranian customers. I hope the owner of this restaurant really supervises the cooking of this restaurants food Grilled chicken with quartered tomato and it was very dry and thin The batter was full of fat and three wheels with onions and it did not taste battered The rice was cooked dry and with little water The leaf kebab was not fully cooked and the sides of the meat were dry It is known that kebabs are stored without protection in the refrigerator I dont think Iranian customers would like to eat on a wooden tray that has been used for many years, because it was clear from the scratches. I hope your business will prosper that you can reconsider the environment and food

The menu, rich with the scents and tastes of Persia, highlights the lamb neck as a marvel of slow-cooked perfection. The meat, tender enough to fall off the bone, bathes in a sumptuous sauce that boasts a delicate mix of spices, hinting at cinnamon and cardamom, with delicious caramelised onions. The barg kebab, a quintessential Persian delight, was nothing short of spectacular. The skewers of marinated lamb were grilled to a succulent tenderness, with a smoky char on the outside while remaining impossibly juicy within. Each slice, when paired with a mound of aromatic saffron rice and a dollop of cool, minty yogurt, was a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Persia. Thanks, Avishan, for making a special Sunday evening for us.

Decent food but very rude staff!

Some of the best Persian food Ive had and Im quite picky about my Persian food. My girlfriend and I ordered The koobideh kebabs and the chicken kebabs. My girlfriend said her chicken was super moist and flavourful and she loved the salad mixed in with the rice, she said it was fresh and delicious. I had lamb kebab and it was hands down some of the best Ive had mixed with the rice some sumac and the grilled the tomato absolutely made my night. The service was great the lady helped me right away and got my order placed. She was very friendly and polite. Would 10/10 recommend theis place.

Excellent Food, Great service, Lovely Staff. 100% recommended

The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel warmly welcomed. As for the food, its simply great!

Me and my family enjoyed it here. Food is great and excellent!

The best Persian food Ive ever ate. Would highly recommend

We came here for a late dinner with our family and could not believe how delicious the food was. Absolutely recommend trying this place. We had zero complaints and every bite was incredible. So glad we decided to try something new.

It was third time that me and my family went here for launch, It was yummy and worth it Vegetarian options: Veggies kebab

The best Persian food in Greater Vancouver

Fairly priced, food tasted good. Service was good.

Food is always delicious. Rice so fluffy and the Koopideh so tender.

I had a chance to visit this Persian restaurant a couple of times and each time I was blown away by the CONSISTENCY of the QUALITY and I have to say I never had a Persian kabab like this in the lower mainland. Amazingly DELICIOUS and great service place to have your lunch or dinner. Their kabab is something that you should try for sure.

Just went to try this hidden gem recently and was blown away by the place. The lamb was so tender and full of flavor. The portions were huge and enough for me to take home for the next day. If you ever get a chance to check out this restaurant, I recommend saving enough space for dessert. One of the best cakes I have ever tried!

Best Persian food in the area. Lamb shank and lamb neck are strongly recommended.

Amazing food

The best Kabab I have eaten in my life

Wonderful little restaurant with amazing lamb dishes , friendly service slightly dated decor.

We ordered koobide this time and surprisingly it was too small and very low quality, you have changed the size of koobideh.you are charging customers 20 dollars for koobideh and it is not worth it, whereas another restaurant like kazba is charging it s loghmeh 16 dollars and it is away better than your food, you will loose your customers with your recent food quality, higher prices, low quality. disappointing.

Simple but delicious !

Food is delicious. Good prices and portions.

What a treat! Picked this place last night and we were sure glad we did. Food was of high quality. A real family operation that understands service! Comfy and cozy seating area that is simple and gives you space . The menu is not complicated and clearly highlight the top items in. I don t think you can go wrong with any item on the menu. We can t wait for our next visit to explore other menu items Eat her! You won t regret it Parking: It s downtown Langley after five it s Quiet with plenty of street parking and free

Their foods are the best in that area? Try to eat kabob Barg you will understand what i mean,

It used to be a very good restaurant with authentic taste of kebab, however the quality is dropped badly. I decided to order kebab today with a good memory of past but it was so disappointing how the kebab quality was poor , it had a very strong taste and smell of fat, and was so heavy to digest. It didn t look a fresh meet as well. Kebab is not recommended, very cheap quality, unfortunately.

I hope this feedback can improve my favorite restaurant in Langley. The food quality and taste have dropped, and it is not the same as before. I am still interested in going back if they start to improve their quality.

Thank you it was absolutely amazing

Avishan restaurant is a culinary gem nestled in the heart of the Langley city, offering a delightful fusion of flavors that tantalize the taste buds. From the moment you step inside, youre greeted with an ambiance that exudes warmth and sophistication. The star of the show at Avishan is undeniably their impeccable kebabs and sensational steaks, crafted to perfection by the talented chef, SAMAN. Each bite of their Chelo Kebab or juicy Filet Mignon is a symphony of flavors, tender meat infused with aromatic spices, and grilled to mouthwatering perfection. What sets Avishan apart is not only the quality of their dishes but also the attention to detail in their presentation. Every plate is a work of art, meticulously arranged to please both the eyes and the palate.

Definitely the best Persian restaurant in Vancouver!!! The taste, quality & service was great!! Keep up the the good work

Outstanding!! Fresh, fresh, fresh, Authentic, delicious I ll be Back!

It was my first time at Avishan Authentic Grill. The service was really good. The servers were very nice and kind. The atmosphere was nice and clean and welcoming. The food was so good I definitely loved my dinner, I had the salmon kebab. My husband enjoyed his lamb. I would definitely recommend this place to eat. I would also say make a reservation. It can get full and busy. I would give this restaurant a five out of five. Definitely come and try the food.

Kid-friendliness: We loved the restaurant. Great food and great service. Huge servings too. I always order lamb shoulder and always delicious and great consistent taste. My kids and my wife loved the place too and 5 star. Recommended dishes

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The food was fresh and of excellent quality, and the staff was professional and polite. The kebabs were especially fresh, and the taste of the rice was amazing. The atmosphere was family-friendly and quiet, with pleasant and warm music playing in the background. I would highly recommend this restaurant for parties and celebrations, as well as for relaxation and escape from the noise of everyday life

When I moved out of Vancouver to live with my fiancé in Langley I was not looking forward to being so far away from all my favourite Persian restaurants. Little did I know I would find this amazing gem in Langley city so close to my new home. It has become my favourite Persian restaurant in BC. I absolutely love it and can t recommend it enough.

My wife had been there before, and insisted to take me there. It worth the 45 minutes drive! Avishan Authentic Grill. A small but great restaurant to try real Persian cuisine. The service was good and the server was very nice and polite. The food was great! I definitely loved my lunch which was lamb shoulder. My wife loves this place and I will bring freinds and relatives next time I am on the area. I definitely recommend this place and give it a big five out of five. Go and try the food.

I have to tell, as someone with a very picky appetite, Im surprised with our dishes. I had Barg and my husband has koobideh which was soooo yummy. The meat was sooo tender, and meltet in my mouth. Im pregnant and very senses to any smell, and very picky right now. But I was really happy with kebabs. As per rice, the server offered more for my husband , and my husband took it. The portions were decent and they came with shirazi salad. Id go back for more Koobideh.

Best kabab , highly recommended

The kebab I ordered had a strong oil smell. When I informed the server, she neither offered an alternative dish nor made any adjustments, fully charging me for the kebab I had left untouched on the table as I left!

I had a wonderful experience at this Persian restaurant. The lamb barg was tender and juicy, and the salmon kebab was flavorful and moist. The portions were generous and the rice was fluffy and aromatic. I also enjoyed the complimentary Persian tea, which was refreshing and fragrant. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they managed to find us a table even though we didnt have a reservation. The restaurant was busy and lively, so I would recommend booking ahead if you want to avoid waiting. I would definitely come back here and try more dishes. Thank you for a great meal!

The food is absolutely relish. Although it s halal food, they serve alcohol which is the reason we stopped going unfortunately.

Fireeeee

Very clean, fabulous food and very accommodating will definitely be going back.

Couldn t be worse than this for sure !!! Don t waste your money at all ! They are ruining the name of the Persian cuisine !!!!

Do not waste your tome and money . Since I have left this place I have been dealing with stomach ache the food quality is beyond worst will never go back to this restaurant.

Best grilled meet and steaks in Vancouver

Fantastic authentic Persian food! I m originally from Mashhad ( Shandiz ) and in 12 years living in Canada, I never tried shishlik or mahiche as good as what they have at Avishan! Believe or not, I live in downtown and I drive an hour to Langley only for their food! ( parcham e mashhadia balaast) Highly recommended.

We went to Avishan for the first time with my friends. The food was absolutely delicious and great portions. I had the BBQ lamb and was amazing. My friends had vaziri and the koobideh was made from lamb which is usually from beef. The lamb was AMAZING My friend had lamb shoulder and he loved it. We also had the appetizer kask o bademjoon was so tasty with fresh bread from the oven. For desert we had pistachio cake , loved it loved it. And friendly service. I recommend it to everyone. What a nice gem to find. I give it five out of five.

The dishes were pricey and too fatty.

They welcome you with a cup of tea.

food took 1 hour to arrive and were left starving and served other peoples food while waiting for ours.

I had a positive dining experience at this restaurant. The service was good, and they welcomed us with tea, although it wasnt fresh. However, the lamb neck dish was a bit too oily for my liking. While Ive enjoyed this cuisine in various places and found the taste and meat quality excellent, the excess oil was a downside for me. I would have preferred it with less oil, I hope this would help the restaurant in future to serve better dishes.

Best Persian restaurant in Vancouver, highly recommended

Warm welcome. Lovely saffron tea. I had the soltani kebab while my girlfriend had the salmon kebab...both were excellent. We finished with saffron ice cream and pistachio cake. Definitely the right choice for dinner.

Delicious persian cuisine.

Great food, loveley staff.

I had a delightful experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere was friendly and warm, creating a cozy dining environment. The staff was welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. A perfect spot for a comfortable and enjoyable meal.

Awesome food specially, chicken wings Koobiedeh and barg.Best service ever and so friendly

Kobideh Kbob tastes soooo good!

Main dish Rack of lamb (Shishlik) is top notch - tender, good flavour, good portion. Long grain rice on the side tastes very good too. Starter Halim Bademjan - bread and spread. The flavour is very interesting and exciting with a hint of goat cheese taste (the chef said it is veal sauce). The combination of eggplant, lentils and herbs on warm Avishan bread. The after taste made my tummy feel good as well. Highly recommended. Before order: Saffron Tea with sugar - free. Let the Middle East / Persian atmosphere kick in. Service is friendly. The server was very patient in explaining what were eating. Chicken kebab is also very tender and good bbq flavour. The quality is way above average. Drink - doogh. Very interesting. If you like adventure, I encourage you to try it. The after taste makes me feel very good, and I believe it s a very healthy drink too.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Avishan Restaurant, and it was truly an amazing experience. The fish was incredibly fresh, bursting with flavor, and perfectly prepared. The handmade barbari bread added a delightful touch to the meal with its freshness and authenticity. The meat dishes were a standout, impressively juicy and expertly cooked. Avishan Restaurant certainly knows how to elevate the dining experience with top-notch ingredients and skilled preparation. A must-visit for any food enthusiast!

Could give them 10 star! They have the best shishlik in town!

Wonderful food, fantastic atmosphere with Ear-catching pleasant song... it was pretty far from an experience...

Avishan is without a doubt one of the best Iranian restaurants in Greater Vancouver area. The service is excellent and we always have a blast.

Delicious food, friendly staff and owners.

Placed an order online and made the payment on their website at 8 pm. Wrote a note as well, that food will be picked up at 8.45 pm. When arriving at the restaurant, owner said he didnt recieve the order, checked his phone and the order was right there. Owner said to wait for 10 mins and that he will make the order now, however I was in a hurry and point is if there is no integration of the website order and the restaurant, why accept the money and take the order online? Owner was pretty unappologetic during the whole coversation, during a time when everyone is struggling in this economy, i was happy to get a refund and take my business elsewhere. Extremely poor customer service skills.

Great Persian food. I highly recommend try Shashlik. Thanks for providing cozy place for gatherings. Food : 5/5

Great Persian food, great customer service, great chef! Always willing to come back

Food and service was good. But I felt it was bit too expensive.

Staff is nice. Portion size is small for the price that you are paying. Very cozy atmosphere. Not outstanding dining. Food

Absolutely fantastic food! And service!!! Expertly prepared authentic!! Persian cuisine! 5 star!! love it! kind and attentive table attendants! sincere and warm! thank you!!

I like the place as it has a god vibe and was clean. The food portion was a bit small compared to a Persian restaurant and it was pricey and it wasnt a fine dining restaurant. I loved the Kashk&bademjoon (Eggplant&whey sauce) but the Koobideh kabab but so small and fatty. I also liked the leaf Kebab

Its hard to find a good Persian food in Metro Vancouver, however, Avishan restaurant has really tasty Persian food. They serve variety of kababs and it is really delicious and the portions are big. The lamb shank and the shoulder are also very delicious. The atomsphere is ok and the service is great and the saffron tea after the meal is so satisfying. I highly recommend Avishan restaurant if youre looking for a good meal in this area.

2021 Mouthwatering Persianfood, Persian dessert, Persian atmosphere...What else could you wish for? Update October 2023: :( Although the owners are nice and the food is still the same good quality they had better reconsider the criteria by which they choose their new staff. The old staff used to be polite and helpful to accommodate your needs . :( Stuffy air inside the restaurant :(

The best welcome Excellent food serving and service. But unfortunately, the quality of the food was not good, the kobideh kobab meat was not fresh and the chicken kobab was not marinated and tasted like barbecue. But because of their great atmosphere and service, I will try it again, hoping to change their stars

I have been coming here for few years always good food but last 2 times under cooked lamb racks... I hope they slow down to serve existing customers than be fast and serve raw meat

We had a bad experience here, got there around 2:20pm and waited for more than 40mins until our food is served at 3:05pm. The place wasn t busy at all when we got in, there were only 4 tables and most customers had their foods. No idea why it took the kitchen that long to prepare 4 dishes. Terrible services and the server didn t even check on us once during the wait. The restaurant is small and didn t turn on AC on a hot day. Overall terrible experience and the food was just ok I don t think it s worth the visit given the terrible service and mediocre food.

I experienced a high quality of slow cooked lamb shoulder. Just about service, they need more than usual to prepare your order

Very expensive that doesnt make justice with the quality, portion size and overall environment. The food is not bad but given that we have plenty of great Persian restaurants around, this place is not among the best. If there is anything that stood out than average that was complimentary saffron tea. The main reason for lower rating is actually very expensive prices, which definitely dont justify the quality and portion sizes. The ambience is basically dull compared to an expensive restaurant, just bunch of tables in small restaurant. Finally, not worth the very high prices while there are plenty of great places with better food quality and portions at almost half the price.

We went here for dinner one night because I was craving some really good Persian food. It was our first time at this restaurant. I didnt particularly like the eggplant; I wont be ordering that again. However, I had a really nice rice and chicken breast skewer dinner. My husband ordered the vaziri lamb skewer with rice. He enjoyed it and said the meat was quite tender. I would love to see them bring in some Persian style sabzi because it is quite delicious on rice. Good service. Good food. Thanks!

Another fantastic meal at Avishan. Portions are perfect but I could eat those tender flavorful skewers all evening. If people complain about portions that s because it s so good they devour their meal so quick. Parking is no problem and free. A great unassuming independent restaurant I encourage you to try this authentic restaurant in a quiet part of Langley. The tea is always inviting. Thanks again Avishan

They the best lamb Ive ever had - the lamb shank was delicious, tender, fall of the bone, with roasted garlic, onion, with rice, it was heavenly! Definitely coming back again for this dish.

Great restaurants, amazing Iranian food and atmosphere, friendly staff

We drove from Seattle to just get the Persian food from Avishan recommended by our friends. The kabobs were pretty good but the lamb neck and shishlik were remarkable.

The prices are very very expensive

Delicious meat dishes and excellent service. Plenty of parking nearby. Would come back!

Amazing food, but koobideh is a little thin Recommended Avishan, and we will be back again. service is excellent Food

Very small place, ideal for a quieter dining experience. Music was maybe just a bit too loud, but not that bad. Our table was a bit wobbly, enough to be slightly annoying unfortunately (no it wasnt one of the feet, that we could have fixed np). The food, however, is great! The lamb was cooked to perfection, and the desserts were absolutely to die for!

The Atmosphere was wonderful, and the staff was extremely welcoming and attentive. Upon arrival, we were served tea as we browsed the menu. My friend and I choose and shared the Koobideh and Shishlik, which had incredible flavors. This is a great spot for a meal, whether lunch or dinner. Definitely worth recommending

Avishan Authentic Middle East Grill Restaurant offers a culinary journey that delights the senses. The lamb shank, ribeye steak, and lamb chop are expertly prepared, showcasing a perfect balance of juiciness and flavor. Paired with fragrant rice, each bite transports you to the heart of Middle Eastern cuisine. A must-visit for those seeking an authentic and mouthwatering dining experience.

First time trying this place and I really liked it. The food was amazing and they brought us some complimentary saffron tea which was perfect for the cold weather. The service was good but they were a bit slow.

We visited Avishan restaurant recently, just as they were nearing closing time. Despite the late hour, the staff greeted us warmly and were incredibly hospitable. The food was notably fresh. We savored the flavors of chicken kebab, kebab, and lamb, each dish perfectly cooked and seasoned. They generously offered us some tahdig (the delicious crispy rice at the bottom of the pan) which was a delightful treat. The homemade kefir was also exceptional. I highly recommend Avishan to anyone looking to enjoy excellent Iranian cuisine, especially if you re aiming to avoid the traffic of downtown Vancouver.

Got the food delivered and have to say it was super tasty and fresh. Barg was tasty and juicy, kobide was super thin but still not dry at all!

Overrated and expensive!!!. Space is small, tables are wobbly. Service isnt anything to feel any better about the place. Lamb shank was the only item that had some taste of all 6 dishes we tried. Chicken steak was bland, bread was burnt and baklava was terrible for the price. Atleast not the kinda Persian food experience I have had so far. I would not recommend to visit even once. Kid-friendliness: No kids menu. But overall the food is not spicy at all.

Had lunch today here today and the food was delicious. Highly recommend coming here.

We got the lamb neck which was yummy but just a bit too oily and salty. I d still recommend it though. The koobideh and jooje were also good. The rice was too dry and cold.

On Friday afternoon I instinctively decided on trying out this restaurant close to our place. have been trying to go there for couple of years but never got a chance. Firstly let me tell you about parking - its on the street as it is in the heart of Langley Township. Entrance was simple and there was no much fancy décor to it. Reception - I had already reserved seat for 5 so it was not a hassle and they already had an empty table with reserved sign on it. Inside ambiance was also very simple yet pleasing. it was already filled with only 2 tables empty both of which were reserved seating of which one was for us. Service - the person was very caring, after seating us she came back in couple of minutes with the complimentary middle eastern tea (SULAIMANI). it was very authentic and thoughtful. Later she came back to take our orders (in around 5 to 7 minutes) giving us enough time to search thru the menu. We ordered all different dishes. Starting with wings, a dish with eggplant and meat (cant recollect the actual name) served with house made bread which was awesome. Our drink option was Doough & Mango Juice - both was excellent. We also ordered the main course in the beginning itself so that they get enough time cook and we dont have to wait too long. Salmon steak, beef steak, chicken steak and chicken kababs. Man the presentation was amazing just as shown in the pictures. It was not like most other restaurants where you see an amazing presentation of the main course then later on when you get it it looks disappointing basically lacking presentation. The main course is served with Basmati rice and half slice of baked tomato and a bowl of salad. They have used a very high quality rice for it. Basmati rice is a very good combination for the steak compared to the bun/bread served in other restaurants. please try this healthier combo. When we saw the rice portion we thought we would have to order more rice, but as we devoured thru it, it turned out to be absolutely filling. the portion for FISH, Chicken and KABAB was amazing. The best part was the beef it was extremely filling and tasty. For almost $40 it is better than all other steak we have had in other places - not fair to name them. I did order for a well done portion and it was perfect for me - even after sharing with my family there was lots for me. The only negative was the baked tomato which was mushy and soggy (if you like it that way dont worry). The food - AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING and AMAZING for all the 4 main items. Finally for the desert we ordered Baklava it was a totally different kind of Baklava and it was just ultimate - the best we ever had. All in all I highly recommend this place. Excellent job team AVISHAN. Keep up the good work. Please do not reduce the portion sizes. I know its very tough right now in Canada, prices of everything is going up, but you have done an excellent job in your food quality taste and presentation. Best regards - Anil V.

Really enjoyed the lamb.

Simply perfect

Food is always fantastic. Also friendly owners Parking: Usually its easy to park here around dinner time Food : 5/5 |

Found hair in the rice!!!!!! Informed them and they offered to replace; but felt like they just replaced the serving plate. Meat was well cooked but they should work on their food safety issues.

It was our first time there and we truly enjoyed the food. Definitely be back whenever well be around.
