The kabobs was one of best I have had in Ottawa, definitely recommend it. In particular, the toursh kabab was a crowd-pleaser, with many people enjoying it. However, one area that could be improved upon is the rice - while it wasn't bad, it didn't quite live up to the high standards set by the quality of the meat. Second visit (reduced 2 stars) : Despite having made reservations and arriving on time, our dining experience was plagued with several issues. We attempted to order appetizers, but the waitress only took one order before disappearing for 40 minutes. We had to wait for 45 minutes before receiving any drinking water, and it was of such poor quality that it was undrinkable. It had a terrible taste, akin to melted ice from a day before. We recommend that the restaurant invest in a good quality carbon filter to improve the taste of their water. When the waitress returned, she only brought some of our drink orders and even splashed one of our guests with a drink by accident. Orders were eventually taken for our main courses and a second set of appetizers, but one of our guests complained about the speed of the order taking. The waitress then mistakenly blamed us for the delay, causing further issues and misunderstandings. As our meals arrived at different times, we were unable to enjoy them together, with some guests already finished with their appetizers while others were just starting their main courses. Despite requesting a dessert menu, we never received one, and our overall dining experience was poor. However, the quality of the food was good, and everyone enjoyed it. We understand that being short-staffed can lead to issues, but the restaurant should be mindful of their capacity and not overbook to the point where they cannot provide adequate service. It was disappointing that no management was present to apologize for the issues we encountered, and it was left to the waitress to offer apologies and reassurances that these problems would not happen again. We believe that this restaurant has potential, but we urge management to take a long-term view and improve their management practices to avoid similar issues in the future.

Table reservation on the phone was easy. As soon as we arrived, I could not realize if the restaurant is open or closed. The outdoor sign was very dark and there was no lighting on the building to attract people. Restaurant was almost without any customer at the time we entered at 6 pm. The furniture were very beautifully arranged and looked luxury and comfortable. We were seated at the very far corner. The server brought glasses of water and spilled water on the table. I need to mention that the last time we were there, the server dropped all the glasses on the table and shattered them all over the table. It seems that the waitresses are always new in the job and very un-experienced. We made our orders and I asked to bring all kabobs in one big family size dish with separate individual rice dishes. The rice came in one big dish, which was not what I wanted. Koobideh was good. Barg Kabob looked smaller than expected, Chicken kabob was ok, but not exceptional, and Torsh Kabob was the worst and very difficult to chew. Rice with safron was good too. Something else that I did not like was that next coming customers were seated just beside our table, although the rest of this big restaurant was still empty. We could hear the conversation of people sitting in the other two tables and it was kind of annoying. The whole time we were sitting there, from the moment we sat on our table to the time that we left the restaurant took one hour and 15 minutes. We even didn't want to have any dessert and rejected the complimentary tea that we were offered. We wanted to go out as soon as we could, since we did not feel the peace that we were expecting to have while we are having our dinner.

We visited persis grill Bells corner location. The place has a nice ambience. The service was great and food was fantastic. We received complimentary mushroom soup which was really good. We ordered MirzaGhasemi for appetizer which came with warm bread, very tasty and good portion size. For mains we ordered Barg and Chicken Fesenjan. The Barg was simply outstanding, very succulent, cooked to perfection. It is a MUST try. Chicken Fesenjan was also good. The salad that accompanied the platter were very fresh. Overall the restaurant is little pricey and the portion sizes are just right. Their grill items are 5/5 and the ingredients they use including meat are high quality and fresh. We will definitely go again.

I first tried this restaurant about a month ago. We enjoyed our experience so much we could not wait to try it again, and finally made it back tonight. We had the lamb shank (Mahicheh) with green rice (dill and fava beans) which was very tasty and the meat was so tender it just fell off the bone. We also ordered the chicken stew (Fesenjan). The chicken was so tender, and the ground walnuts make the stew thick and almost creamy while the pomegranate gives it a sweet, tart taste, making this dish unbelievably delicious. We had this with a generous portion of sweet rice which was incredibly tasty, even on its own, as it had cranberries, various nuts, orange peel and other additions. In fact, I had ordered this the first time as well, along with the beef stew (Ghormeh-sabzi) which was also fantastic. I will be back again with friends and family.

Went there for lunch with a family member and we weren't sure what to expect. The place has really nice seating and luxurious feel. It was empty when we arrived although it was 12:30 and we expected to see a big lunch crowd. We were worried that maybe this place is not good but they surprised us with service and the most important part, the food! The food was exceptional. We started with a complimentary soup and we ordered two main dishes from their stew section in the menu. We ordered the beef stew and the lamb shank and both were so flavorful and perfectly cooked!! I highly recommend this place to anyone want to try yummy persian food in the west end. We thought the prices were reasonable for the quality and amount but definitely not a cheap place!

I’m a big fan and customer of the Persia Grill in Orleans, although I live in kanata but would make the trip there for this amazing food and awesome atmosphere..was super excited that it opened closer to home, unfortunately not the same standards! Atmosphere is very elegant.. but the food no where near the original one! The plates were smaller and portions smaller. The chicken was very dry, I loved their sweet rice and upgraded my side rice to it, but serve forgot so instead 15 minutes later she brought en the toppings to add myself to my how cold rice :/ the complementary mushroom soup was ok.. bread was not fresh and warm..we loved that they gave the kids little boards to keep them busy! Hope they up the quality like the one in orleans :(

Our experience at the New Year's party at Persis Grill was disappointing. The event lacked proper organization, and there weren't any specific plans. Unfortunately, the food quality was poor and the service inconsistent, with waiters attending to only a few tables and ignoring others. Due to the way the tables and chairs were arranged, it was a bit challenging to move around. We heard that the staff wasn't aware of the expected number of guests, which might have affected how things were handled. Considering these issues, I don't plan on returning for future events. I wouldn't suggest this place to friends because of the overall service quality, especially regarding the food.

Absolutely Amazing Experience!!!! I just moved to the area and my mother decided to take me out to a Bells Corners restaurant. What an unexpected gem. The entire staff welcomed us with smiles. Mona, our server, was amazing, welcoming and checked in often. The food was delicious! So amazing! The prices were reasonable for the amount of food (So much food! The Kebab plate for 2 could have fed 3). The vegetables were fresh, the in house dressing was perfectly portioned. The meat was tender and juicy and I tried to eat more than my belly could handle. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an elegant, clean, warm and welcoming environment....I heard breakfast was coming too. I can't wait to go back.

We went for my fathers birthday, and it was an amazing experience. Immediately upon walking in, all of us were extremely impressed by the atmosphere. The seating was comfortable and we felt very welcomed. The food was well seasoned and our server was excited to share how to enhance the meal with the sumak on the table. We finished off our meal with tea, baklava, and saffron ice cream, and I would highly recommend others do the same. TLDR: Amazing restaurant, great atmosphere, superb food. Try the saffron ice cream with the persian tea

We reserved for a group of 65 people for a special milestone birthday for a dear friend. On the day of the event, the owner surprised us with a beautiful backdrop decoration befitting this important celebration. The food was amazing…everybody enjoyed what they ordered and commented on how delicious it was. The service was great and we were helped by Fatima who did her best to serve our group. A big thank you to Persis Grill- Bells Corners for an excellent event and service. This is our first big gathering to be held there and we’ll definitely hold other upcoming events there!

This is a nice place for some staple Persian food ( I have always liked Persian food so I could be biased). Food is great tasting but the quantity could be a bit more. I am used to big platters of Vancouver Persian restaurants.. I really liked the decor and cutlery etc.. the little things that are often overlooked.. we had the chicken shish, lamb chops, lamb shank, and chicken stew .. they are either short staffed or just family run .. either way service was slow.. despite how fast the girls were trying to get things done.

I ordered Mahicheh which is basically Lamb Shank, Rice and Salad through UberEats. Well the food is good but for the same quality and portion of food, other restaurants are charging at least $10 less. So I would definitely not recommend this restaurant unless you are out of option. Reply to Persis: Buddy just order from other places and check their quality, taste & quantity and compare the price for your food. That's all you need to focus

We got koobieh skewer kabobs. The meat quality was very poor with no taste. The kabob’s colour didn’t even look like an actual meat. We got bread as well which we were told they make in house but the bread was very old, not fresh at all and we paid about $6 for 2 extra bread but they gave us only a few pieces which was not worth the money at all. Overall very low quality food and not recommended. We are definitely NOT going back again.

Teething pains as newly opened. Salads were served after main meal was served. Water was not topped. The kebabs were decent but relatively cold when served. There was complementary mushroom soup which was decent. I will try again and give it more time to mature. Tea was ordered but had to remind server to bring. I came based on the reputation of the chain in East end of Ottawa. Restaurant is spacious and atmosphere is nice.
