5 stars across the board! One of the best meals and overall dining experiences I’ve ever had. The interiors are beautiful, our server Sami was so friendly and helpful, and the dishes were incredible—especially loved the bademjan (black tahini hummus with eggplant—pictured). Been raving about everything to my family and friends. We’re lucky to have this gem in Austin. Price per person: $90–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Roya is the kind of restaurant that makes you feel like you’ve been invited into someone’s home rather than just seated at a table. Named for the Persian word for “to dream,” this Shoal Creek gem delivers on that promise in every way. The chef’s vision here is deeply personal, rooted in recreating the family meals that shaped his story, and you can taste that intention in every bite. This isn’t cuisine assembled from trend-chasing or formula. It is food that carries memory, and it shows. The menu is a genuine pleasure to explore. There is real range, and more importantly, real execution behind it. The flavors are confident without being aggressive, layered in that way that only comes from cooking you actually grew up with. Small plates built for sharing set the tone perfectly. Order more than you think you need and pass everything around. The drinks program matches the kitchen’s ambition. Expect the unexpected here in the best possible way. The space itself earns its place in the review. The atmosphere is warm, unhurried, and genuinely inviting without feeling staged. It is the kind of room where a quick dinner stretches into a long one, and you don’t mind at all. Roya is one of Austin’s most distinctive dining experiences right now. Price per person: $50–60 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Hands down, the best Persian restaurant in the entire U.S., and I'm saying that after trying some of the most reputable Persian restaurants across the country. The food alone would make us come back again and again. We ordered the Labneh Borani, Khoresh Gheymeh, and Koobideh Kebab, and everything was outstanding—especially the Khoresh Gheymeh, which was absolutely exceptional. That being said, our server, Hunter, was truly a legend. It was, without a doubt, the best service I've ever received at any restaurant, including fine dining establishments. He provided the perfect amount of information, was incredibly friendly yet professional, and helped us celebrate my birthday by surprising us with two glasses of wonderful champagne and an absolutely delicious saffron ice cream, both on the house. This place is not just a restaurant—it's an entire experience. If I could give this place 10 out of 5 stars, I absolutely would! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
