Customer Reviews
This place! We argued on whether the Beef Koubideh Kebab was one of or THE best kebabs we’ve ever had! The filet mignon was so juicy, soft and I loved how the marination is kept to a minimum and depending on the amazing quality of meat and cooking. The plates overall were delicious, well presented and the side sauces: apricot chutney, mint and garlicky yoghurt are a perfect combination with the food. Staff were very friendly and knowledgable. Lovely ambience.
This place is absolutely delicious!! Hubby got the steak kabobs & I got the braised lamb pasta. Everything was superb & I look forward to coming back the next time we're in town. O, & the cardamom and pistachio ice cream was a fantastic dessert!
The service was the best part of this whole experience. Food was mediocre and too small in portions for what they charge. Kabobs were very small and dry. Salad was dry and old lettuce was included. The bread came with a dish of oil which wasn’t even seasoned enough with herbs or garlic. Atmosphere, we sat inside and it looked old and dark.
One of the best trout and Sea bass dishes we ever had. Great presentation and the ambience in the backyard is so tantalizing. Will definitely have to come back.
This is our second time here and it’s fantastic! We had the butternut bolani for an appetizer. The butternut is very delicious and is nicely seasoned. A hint of heat but not too much. Everything we had was fresh and tasty. The outdoor patio is so lovely, too. I could sit there all afternoon and sip wine. Highly recommend!
