Ava Bakery

Amazing Persian breakfast!! The traditional omelette and sangak reminded me of the Persian omelettes my dad used to make me when I was a child. I will definitely be back! 10/10 recommend!

Ava Bakery's Persian food is a true delight for the taste buds! The flavors are authentic and reminiscent of home-cooked meals. The Bandari and Kabob wrap were exceptional; the tender kabob combined with the savory Bandari sauce created a mouthwatering experience. Each bite was a burst of flavor that left me craving more.I highly recommend Ava Bakery for anyone looking to indulge in delicious Persian cuisine. Whether you're dining in or grabbing a quick bite to go, you won't be disappointed. I can't wait to return and try more of their mouthwatering dishes!

Unorganized and unprepared. Ava bakery was at the Persian new year on 3/2/24.We purchased two chicken kabob plates and were told it would be a 10 min wait. After 30 minutes of no communication, we asked for an update and were told it would be 2 hours or we can have a "sausage sandwich" instead. A single sandwich costs much less than a chicken kabob plate, we also wasted so much time waiting and so did everyone else. There was no control of the line or orders of food, complete chaos and waste of time.

We've been meaning to try Ava Bakery for a while. I love Mediterranean food! We ordered food to go - it was all delicious! They bake own bread and it's delicious. Ground kebob, chicken and veal stew were very flavorful. Portions are good although the veal stew didn't have a lot of meat. Tried their cakes too - chocolate, almond, carrot cake and baklava. Baklava was light and not overwhelmingly sweet. Otherwise carrot cake was our favorite.Service was very friendly and courteous.

Delicious food. Family owned with authentic homemade dishes. We tried the Ghormeh Sabzeh and it's very tasty and tender. Their bread is baked fresh and we got the whole loaf, cut it in pieces and wrapped it in portions. Still enjoying it. Their yogurt dip is also very good. You have to try this place, highly recommend.

I found out about this place from the latest James Beard Award nominate list and Ava Bakery was the only one that got nominated under the "Best Restaurant" list this year. Since we don't have a Michelin guide in AZ, this is the next best thing and it really is a big deal. I've never been truly disappointed when I follow the James Beard list. Even if they don't actually win, being nominated is a huge deal for restaurants.It's quite far for me if I wanted to go here from my home which's about an hour away, but I happened to be in the neighborhood so I decided that this was a good chance to go and try. The location is inside of an unassuming strip mall that gives off a 80's vibe. The mall itself needs a lot of facelift. I entered the restaurant and there were couple of occupied tables and I could've ate there, but decided to take the food to-go. A nice lady stepped out of the kitchen and took my order. What I ate:-Tongue sandwich. I usually like the texture of a whole tongue and that's the reason why I order it, but this was more of a shredded version of tongue. However, it was pretty tasty with onions, basils, and other herbs.-Kabab plate: came with their whole wheat bread which is like a flat pita bread, but very chewy, soft, and more moist than pita. The plate came with charred roasted tomato, basil, and onions. I love love koobideh and this was one of the better ones I've had and I loved the fact that they weren't overly salty like most places. The meat was tender, juicy, and flavorful. Their bread is worth buying some extra so that you can bring home and eat with hummus.-Saffron rice pudding: not too sweet and rice were slightly undercooked just like how I like.-baklava: again the theme of this place is subtlety. I don't like over seasoned food, but I prefer my baklava more syrupy and sweet. Their baklava were neither. However they were delicious with a cup of tea after my meal.4 items plus bottle of water came to $52. Overall I really liked their food and I would definitely return again when I'm in the neighborhood.

Great food and super friendly service, the ambience was very nice too! saffron rice pudding was my favorite!

I recently visited Ava bakery and was impressed with the quality of their halim. The flavor was rich and the texture was just right - not too soft and not too chewy. However, I do have to say that the prices for their halim were a bit steep. While I understand that good quality ingredients come at a cost, I couldn't help feeling like I was paying a premium for the convenience of being able to purchase halim in AZ.Despite the higher prices, I would still recommend Ava bakery for their delicious halim. Just be prepared to pay a little bit more than you might at other places. Overall, I had a great experience at Ava bakery and would visit again.Seating areas are very limited so keep in mind to make a reservation a head of time!

Great food, great people, must have every day :)The owner make you feel right at home. It worth every penny you pay. JUST LOVE IT !!!

Walking into Ava Bakery with my brother, we could already tell this place was something special, and boy, did it not disappoint! It's not every day you get to eat at a spot that's a James Beard semi-finalist, and Ava Bakery totally deserves the hype. We shared the Koobideh sandwich and Sosees Bandari, and honestly, they were both out-of-this-world good. The flavors were spot on, and everything tasted super fresh. If you're looking for a memorable meal, Ava Bakery is the place to go. Can't wait to come back and try more of their deliciousness!
