The Good Stuff
Buffet value
Several reviews describe the lunch and dinner buffet as an affordable way to try the restaurant’s food.
Persian dishes
Reviewers mention authentic Persian flavours, including zereshk polo, qormeh sabzi, kashk bademjan and kebabs.
Starter soup
The soup served at the beginning of the meal was specifically praised as a strong part of the experience.
Dining setting
The dining room is described as clean, well lit and spacious enough for comfortable seating.
Party support
A small-party organiser found the staff supportive and welcoming during the event.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check spread. Before committing to the buffet, ask what is currently available; a dated review found only five or six items.
Ask refills. If you want kebabs or chicken pieces from the buffet, ask about replenishment rather than assuming the counter is fully stocked.
Check charges. Review the bill and menu carefully: one diner noted that VAT was excluded and another said the change was not fully returned.
Plan deliveries. For delivery, confirm that the order is actually being prepared; one customer waited 30 minutes before learning delivery was unavailable.
Expect limits. If choosing the buffet for grills, check the serving rule first; a review reported a limit of three grill skewers per person.
Allow time. For Filipino food ordered by phone, confirm the preparation status before waiting: one order was still not being made after an hour.

The Bottom Line
Pariyas Restaurant & Grill is a Persian restaurant in Hor Al Anz where you can order Iranian grills and dishes such as mix kebab, zereshk polo with chicken, qormeh sabzi and kashk bademjan. The restaurant also attracts diners with lunch and dinner buffets, and reviews regularly point to the kebab as the strongest part of the meal. The food reports are often encouraging: the mix kebab has been described as fresh and among the best a diner tried, while another guest praised the pumpkin soup and soft, flavourful chicken with biryani.
Several reviews also mention a clean, well-lit dining room, calm ambience and enough seating for small gatherings. The buffet is where expectations need managing. Some diners found it tasty and good value, but others saw only five or six dishes, limited grill portions, missing chicken in the biryani and slow kebab refills.
Dessert is also repeatedly mentioned as absent. The quality of service is uneven, ranging from welcoming staff to complaints about rude treatment and poor bill handling. Check the current buffet spread, refill policy and final charges before paying.
Delivery deserves extra caution too, with one order still unprepared after an hour and another cancelled after a 30-minute wait.
