About
If you find yourself in Edmonton, a culinary gem awaits you at Lotus House of Kebab & Grocery. Nestled in the heart of the city at 10015 82 Ave NW, this establishment is more than just a restaurant; it's a delightful journey through Persian cuisine and culture.
The star of the menu is undoubtedly the wide array of grilled kebabs, with offerings that boast both authenticity and rich flavors. The Soltani Kabob Dish, combining juicy koobideh and tender Barg kabob, is a must-try. Paired with saffron rice and a grilled tomato, it encapsulates the very essence of Persian dining. Customers rave about the koobadeh platter, with its perfectly seasoned rice, vibrant salads, and roasted tomatoes that elevate the dish to another level. Enthusiast Iman mentioned, "The food was absolutely fantastic!" – a sentiment echoed by many patrons.
But the experience doesn’t stop at the savory entrées. The desserts, like the Saffron Rice Pudding (Shole Zard) and HouseMade Cream Rolls, provide a sweet finish that perfectly complements the savory dishes. Just imagine the delicate cream rolls filled with whipped cream and finished with a sprinkle of pistachios, or the traditional saffron rice pudding infused with rose water and spices. These desserts are simply divine!
The ambiance of Lotus House is equally impressive. The decor exudes warmth and nostalgia, evoking a sense of comfort that makes you feel right at home.

“ The food was absolutely fantastic! We ordered the koobadeh platter, which came with perfectly seasoned rice, a fresh salad, tender koobadeh (a delicious mix of beef and lamb), and roasted tomatoes that added a delightful touch. We also indulged in their famous saffron ice cream, which was simply divine. Our server, Parsa, was outstanding. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also exceptionally friendly. He took the time to answer all our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. Overall, we had an unforgettable dining experience, thanks to both the incredible food and top-notch service ”
“ Amazing food, welcoming, great atmosphere, very filling (consider splitting a platter and just ordering a second skewer if not very hungry) - Ben is very attentive, don't be shy to ask for what you want and get it just right. Asked for non caffeine tea and he made a great blend. ”
“ Great customer service, cute decor, very warm welcoming, and the tastiest Persian food I’ve ever had. During my lifetime, I’ve tried several Persian Restaurants from Montreal, Toronto, BC, Calgary, and Edmonton - so far this one IS THE BEST! My mom and I came here to celebrate Nowruz (Persian New Year) and we had an amazing time here. We will definitely return and even become their regular customers. If you’re in Edmonton, you must try their food, you won’t be disappointed. ”
“ I've had Persian Kebab in many restaurants over the years in Edmonton but in my opinion Lotus House of Kebab & Grocery is by far the best. This is my favorite Kebab place in all of Edmonton. Not only do you get delicious food but also the warm hospitality is inviting. We just visited for my birthday and it was amazing. All my friends were impressed and happy with their food and welcoming atmosphere. Their customer service is excellent as always. Thank you Mr. Behnam. We will definitely be back. ”
“ Me and my wife are very fond of Persian food and we have had our fair share of experience exploring different Persian restaurants. What set lotus apart was the home like hospitality and the host’s efforts to make us experience the food as authentically as possible. Instead of just serving the food he went beyond and gave us great tips on how to enjoy the food. The food was very good and the portions were great . We would definitely visit again and highly recommend if you are planning as well. The restaurant was clean and has nice Persian motifs all around. The Persian black tea is a must try if you are visiting. ”
“ We get to try Persian cuisine with our friend. We enjoyed everything about our visit to Lotus House of Kebabs. The dishes were beautifully presented and the food was exceptional from start to finish. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxing, and the service was top-notch. Each dish was flavorful and left us wanting more! It was a delightful experience. The best part is “Safron Ice Cream “ wonderful. Love it. It’s a must try. Highly recommended! ”
“ Behnam and his team are one of the best I have ever seen. The food was instant good and service is one of a kind and amazing. Location is very very good as well. The special yogurt mix is so well made and the yogurt drink, Dough was so well done. They have award winner desserts and a full store full of yummy Persian groceries. By the way they just started doing Persian breakfast and they make they own bread too. This so crazy awesome. Definitely check it out and make sure to go there really hungry to feast ”
