Zesty Family Restaurant

Sometimes you come across a place where you are spellbound with the food, flavour, ambiance, service etc but there is just one word that comes to my mind is OUTSTANDING. The food was full of flavour and you can taste that in every bite. The portion size is decent. The prices are good and on the cheaper side. As it was my partner’s birthday, the guy who was serving us gave the desserts for free. Persian tea is complimentary after or before the dinner. All in all a great opportunity to experience the authentic persian food. LOVED it !! Definitely recommend it..

This is a hidden jewel. Me and my colleague went out for dinner. The place wasn’t that busy. We had second thoughts but we took a chance and boy I’m glad that we did. Clean place with Persian music in background. Our server was knowledgeable and recommended some dishes. Everything we ate had flavour, texture and tasted amazing. We had marinated olives best olives I had in my life and eggplant dish. After tasting the appetizers we knew that we were in for a treat. For main course we had a lamb dish meat was so tender, chicken kebab, chicken dish in walnuts. Portions are of decent size. There were left overs which we gladly packed. We ended the night with Persian tea. We walked in with doubts but walked out with smile, full belly and goal to bring our families for another round of dinner. This is a family owned restaurant. The only down side is that there is no alcohol. Hands down, RECOMMENDED

Wonderful restaurant with very kind staff! I had the barberry rice pilaf with saffron chicken, which was very good. I learned you are supposed to eat the pickle side dish *with* the pilaf and not on its own, as the pickles are very sour! I also enjoyed the baklava and tea. Both the server and the manager were very friendly and professional. Would definitely go again.

Went there for dinner. It was delicious. The restaurant is in good location, very spacious, clean. I noticed only one waitress there. A full restaurant with only one waitress will be difficult. Anyway, we orderd the food in the photos. They were simply delicious. I would say the quantity of rice is too much. I would suggest to reduce the rice little bit. I have seen some other also Couldn't finish. It might also help to resuce the price. Though I found the price is decent. Would love to go back there. Thank you very much for the hard work.

WOW! We are visiting in Edmonton for a few nights and wanted to try something different. We are adventurous diners and truly love all ethnic cuisine but have never tried Persian food. Our server was an absolute gem and made some suggestions on her favorite dishes, so we tried those and we also tried a few others that caught our eye. It was just 2 of us and we ordered 2 starters, a salad, a soup, and 2 entrees. Everything was truly incredible! 10/10! Pickled garlic, shirazi salad, ashe-e-rezteh soup, paneer sabzi rolls, bademjoon stew, and vaziri kabobs! Just a major trip to flavor town! Finished off with pistachio/saffron ice cream sandwiches, and one of each of the other desserts to go.... AMAZING! Wish we didn't live 10 hours away otherwise we'd make this a regular weekly experience! VERY reasonable prices too! With all we ordered plus desserts the bill was less than $100.

Very friendly service. Food was so good, came out quickly. Not very busy. Parking is kind of limited. In house ice-cream is amazing. Nice music!

Our favourite Persian food place in Edmonton. The portion sizes are really good. Their chickenjooejeh and beefkoobideh kebabs are very tasty. We usually go for the platter along with some yogurt dips.

Had an incredible time here with my wife came last night for our anniversary and valentines date. All the food was soooo good!! Definitely coming back for more!!! So many vegetarian options too!!Food: 5/5

I’ve been here a couple times, and this time I decided to try something on the Persian menu. The server recommended the ground beef kabab and chicken thigh kabab. They both had amazing flavours and were super juicy. I’m glad I tried something new, and will come back soon.

The place was super busy and had to wait a long time as not enough staff but they were very polite and friendly. The 'vaziri kabob' was great but the 'zereshk polo ba morgh' was not good and we couldn't finish it. The baghlava was fresh and tasty though.
