Avishan

“The environment was clam and friendly and its service was second to none.”

One of the best Persian dining experiences I’ve had! The Koobideh kebab and lamb shank were absolutely delicious perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. What made the experience even more special was the complimentary Iranian tea they serve. It was so fragrant and comforting, and honestly reminded me of Iran and my mom’s home—warm, nostalgic, and full of beautiful memories. Everything was amazing, from the food to the atmosphere. This was truly one of my best experiences, and I’ll definitely come back. Highly recommended! ❤️

Avishan is one of the better Persian restaurants I have visited in the area. The food quality was consistently good, the portions were generous, and the dishes tasted fresh and well prepared. The menu offers a good variety of traditional Persian options, making it easy for different tastes to find something enjoyable. The service was professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the visit. Staff members were welcoming and checked on the table regularly without being intrusive. Food arrived in a reasonable amount of time and everything was served properly. The atmosphere was pleasant overa

What a great experience. Culinary, social and cultural. First time for 4 of us trying Persian food (1 couple from Calgary, the other from other BC community). We are all well-travelled and open to new cuisines, so we're looking forward to this experience. From the warm and friendly welcome, the subtle but pleasant decor, to the food itself and the free glass of tea (with saffron, also a new taste sensation), this restaurant deserves 10 stars! We had 4 different meals, with 3 being lamb and one chicken. My spouse, having had wonderful lamb dishes in many countries, rated his lamb shoulder dish

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing. The restaurant was very busy on Saturday, and there was only one staff member working in the dining area. The food was the biggest letdown. The rice was undercooked and didn’t taste like authentic Persian rice. The lamb shank was extremely salty, yet at the same time overly sweet because of the caramelized onions. The Gardan (lamb neck) was also too salty, although it was slightly better than the lamb shank. Overall, I did not enjoy the meal and, unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be coming back.
