Tasty Persian food. The Sultani tastes great and the jujeh kabob tastes fabulous. Tasty Persian tea and ice cream. The staff are friendly and professional. Great atmosphere and family friendly. Our favorite Persian restaurant in Houston!

We are visiting from Virginia, we found this restaurant by chance but I would say it was worth, their kababs are very tasty , everything is fresh and good quality.It is a busy place , service was good .If you are looking for spicy 🌶 option then it is not the place for you

Excellent food. The meats are nicely spiced and tender, the rice is not dry as at some Persian places. Service is attentive and the prices are reasonable.

We were visiting from Miami Florida . Service is average , we ordered salmon Kabobs which were good , and Kubedeh . it was suppose to come with sauce which it did so we asked for it and got it just to findout that 4.50 was added to our Tab . i had strong hiccups and asked for water which i got 15 mins later and asking for it three times. Good thing i didnt choke .. pricing is OK and if u in Persian food and good atmosphere there its a good place

Really amazing food. We enjoyed our barg, chicken kofta, chicken kubideh, etc. But the shishleik really blew us away. It literally melted in my mouth.

Went in spring time, sat outside, which was nice. Saw some large groups there. If you like 'desi' BBQ, then the food is just okay. But I enjoyed the meal, meat was very tender, and juicy, the rice was flavorful as well. If you you are in the mood for Persian food, this is a good place.

The naans are amazing and so is the Persian tea-- everything else is whatever. The meat is bland and nothing special. Average service. Would only come back for the naan and tea.

There's something old I would like to share with everyone. That is desis have been cheap for quite some time now. So the fact that a restaurant asks you to pay the minimum 15% tip for a waitress that does her job up to par shouldn't reflect poorly on the restaurant but just on the character of those desis too cheap to pay. I've ate at this restaurant and had an amazing time. I would recommend this to everyone I meet.

Went for iftar. The waitress was friendly and asked if I was fasting. They served a samoze, salad and Iranian naan for starters to open the fast with. I ordered chicken kabab and rice. The kabab and rice both were very good. Highly recommended.

The juju kabob is the best! I love the bread and feta cheese plate they bring out. I just wish they would serve yogurt with the meals. Even though the food is a little expensive, it definately is a nice treat every now and then.

I have been to this restaurant many times. I was told by friends who care about halal food that their chicken is suspicious. So, I used to order beef and lamb dishes. Food is delicious, bit overpriced though. However, I just found out that SYSCO, in addition to some halal meat supplier, is also supplying chicken and beef to this restaurant. A very close friend of mine who discovered and confronted the restaurant management, has contacted the district attorney's office. I would never go back there. What a shame!

The first time I ate at Bijan, I had a crispy rice dish that I really didn't like. Thankfully, I went again and again, trying different dishes (the lamb shank is delicious), and I have had better experiences since. I was there earlier this month, and the food seemed to have improved even more. I don't go there regularly but do find myself there every few months. Nice decor!

We came from out of state and ate there on the word of a friend. The food was EXCELLENT. The service was wonderful. It was on a Tuesday evening when we were there and it was so clean and quiet. All the food was perfect. Our 3 year old at all his chicken kabob. The naans and hummus kept coming non stop. Wonderful family place!

Anytime to everytime I've been there, I absolutely loved the food. Everything is awesome! Kubideh Mix is highly recommended. A little pricey for everyday visit, but I can let that go for the quality and the kind of place it is. Seemingly considerate waitresses. Definitely an excellent place to bring along someone from work or perhaps a friend visiting from out of town.

The food is okay, I have had much better. The joojeh kabob was greasy and the chenjeh was not filet mignon like it said. However, the owner is nice and hard working and the restaurant itself is clean and good for families.

Very clean and uptodate decor. Self service joint, and the food is good. However, there isn't a lot of choice...there are 8-10 platters and you pick from them. Of course, you can add more sides, but again...not a lot of options. Food is not spicy...so those who crave that will be wanting more pepper. Their kebabs are fabulous though.

Excellent Persian food for a decent price. The Tahdig is delicious and for $2.99 is a bargain. The kebabs are wonderful. The restaurant is easy to get to (on Hillcroft just off 59). The decor is very nice (an A+ for a halal restaurant). And you get big pots of tea. It's self-service though (you order and pick up your food).
