Customer Reviews
If you’re searching for a place where authentic flavors meet refined presentation, this restaurant is a gem worth savoring. Every dish we tried was not only delicious but also prepared with exceptional care and passion. The shishlik was an absolute standout—perfectly grilled lamb chops with a smoky char on the outside and tender, juicy meat inside. The ghormeh sabzi stew carried deep, earthy aromas from slow-simmered herbs, balanced beautifully with the tang of dried limes. The saffron ice cream was creamy, smooth, and fragrant, it captured the essence of Persian saffron without overwhelming sweetness. The Napoleon Pastry was a masterpiece of textures—crispy, buttery layers of puff pastry alternating with silky custard. Highly recommend trying the Flame Kabob.
They've gone downhill in last few years. Appetizers served with plastic spoons? Sauces in plastic cups. Neither hummus nor eggplant tasted freshly made. Lamb meat kebabs were sinewy tough and had very little seasoning. Salad is just rough cut iceberg lettuce. And why is there mandatory 18% service charge when you have to refill your own drinks? Yuck.
I have been to this gem of a restaurant at least 3 times in the past 6 months. The food is consistently great and flavorful. The owners are ALWAYS friendly and always answer whatever questions I have and they also make great recommendations. Talking with them is always a pleasure. Be sure to give this spot a chance sooner than later. You won’t be disappointed.
The service was good, the portions were adequate, and the flavor was great. We got the kabob sampler and the chicken breast kabob + veggie kabob.
This is the best Persian restaurant I’ve ever been to, EVER!!!! The food is absolutely phenomenal reminding you of the food back home. I had the Soltani platter. The Barg kabob (beef tenderloin) has the perfect texture and tenderness! The Koobideh was very juicy and fresh! I love the fact that they don’t charge customers for TEA! In Fact they let you get refills at no charge! You can’t find this service anywhere! The portions are above average compared to other Persian restaurants I’ve been to in the nation. Additionally, the negative reviews do not represent the actual experience. The food is AUTHENTIC, HEALTHY AND FRESH. I will definitely be back more often with friends and family. New favorite spot added to my list!
