Reviews of Parsa Kabob
from GoogleWe had a really disappointing experience here. We ordered chapli kebab, but it came cold. There wasn’t even water on the table, and we also ordered biryani that never arrived at all. We almost finished our lunch, and only at the very end did they finally bring the naan. Another frustrating thing is the inconsistency. You order the exact same item on different days, but every time it comes differently — one day it includes certain things, another day those same things are missing. The order is never consistent even though you are paying for the same meal. The biggest issue honestly seems to be staffing. They have hired a wonderful lady who is clearly hardworking and kind, but she is being forced to do EVERYTHING — cashier, food server, taking orders, arranging shelves, and handling customers all at once. Of course service will be slow and mixed up when one person is doing the job of several people. She deserves better support from management. Very frustrating experience overall.
Came here with friends and I’m honestly glad I did. Huge shoutout to Nas and his team — the service was on point from start to finish. Friendly, respectful, and you can tell they actually care about the customers. The food was really good, everything tasted fresh and well made. My friends loved it too and we all left satisfied. Appreciate the experience. I’ll definitely be back.
A Hidden Gem for International Flavors!!! Parsa is a fantastic one-stop shop that truly delivers on variety. It’s rare to find a spot that manages to balance a grocery store, a quality butchery, and a restaurant under one roof so effectively. The menu is a great highlight, offering a delicious selection of Persian, Afghani, and Turkish dishes. Everything I’ve tried has been flavorful, authentic, and well-prepared. It is the perfect place if you are looking to explore different culinary traditions in a single visit. Beyond the food, the grocery section is well-stocked with high-quality staples, and the butchery is clean and reliable. Whether you’re popping in for a full meal or picking up specialty ingredients for home cooking, this place is highly recommended. A must-visit!
I’m so happy to have found this hidden gem of an Afghan restaurant in the south! The food is absolutely amazing the seasoning is perfectly balanced, and the meat is incredibly tender, juicy
I got the lamb shank and it was tasty and delicious. Absolutely recommend. Staff is nice and food comes with reasonable prices.
Located inside Parsa Market, Parsa Kabob is a casual, family-friendly eatery where customers can shop for groceries while authentic Afghan and Turkish dishes—like signature kabobs, Kabuli Palaw, and fresh-baked flatbreads—are cooked to order. This welcoming neighborhood spot pairs rich traditional meals and cafe beverages with friendly service, making it convenient for a sit-down meal or food to go.
Awesome place been coming since it was zaks
Really good place for dinner.
Fardin our server was amazing and wonderful 👏food is great 😊
Excellent food, generous portions, and outstanding service. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. One of the best places for Afghan cuisine in Calgary. Highly recommended!
Absolutely loved this spot! Some of the best kebabs I’ve had in the city. The Afghan, Pakistani, and Indian fusion menu has tons of variety, and everything we tried as a group hit. Service was great and handled a big table easily. Don’t miss the kabuli pulao and chapli kebab!
About Parsa Kabob
On Macleod Trail SE, this Afghan, Persian and Turkish kebab house has its own butcher and grocery counter supplying the kitchen, and its meat is halal.
What to order
The menu covers kebabs from all three cuisines, and the chapli kebab and kabuli pulao are the dishes to look for. Afghan, Pakistani and Indian-style fusion dishes are on the menu too, and diners say the variety suits a group. Portions are generous.
After your meal you can pick up halal cuts at the counter to cook at home, which makes it a good stop if you want both lunch and groceries. One visitor called it a one-stop shop that balances a grocery store, a butchery and a restaurant under one roof.
