Description

Nestled in the heart of the city, this Persian restaurant offers a tempting array of flavors, from marinated kebabs to hearty stews. While some patrons rave about the authentic dishes and friendly staff, others lament a troubling experience marked by slow service, lukewarm food, and questionable hygiene practices. Diners have described instances of cold, reheated meals, lengthy waits, and unappetizing buffet offerings. Despite its charming ambiance and reasonable prices, the inconsistencies in food quality and service have led some to question their safety. A visit may hold the promise of delicious Persian cuisine, but caution is advised.

The kebabs at this restaurant are the best in town. The pricing for the "all you can eat buffet" is very good and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend this place.

This restaurant in Adelaide CBD is a fantastic spot to enjoy both traditional and innovative dishes. The coffee is excellent and the staff are incredibly friendly and skilled.

The Persian lunch menu at this restaurant is amazing, with authentic flavors and a very friendly staff. I especially loved the garlic sauce and meat dishes. I highly recommend it!

We made Sunday shopping in the city and near where we parked, we found this Persian restaurant more like the look of a sandwich bar that is opened, serving everything you eat and kebabs boiled on coal. We gave him a way, as there were always great Persian families sitting on order when we arrived and another Persian couple next to us who ordered before us. The guys ordered the fire of kebabs with a choice of chicken, lamb mint and lamb rash Kebabs with saffron rice. I chose the lamb rebound. The couple next to us and ourselves waited for half an hour for an hour without anyone approaching us or explaining why it took so long. Even if we got up and were asked to come back. When the food arrived, they apologised, but too many orders too fast. We all starved and ate our food when it came, but the meat was cold. While you could taste that it had been marinated nicely, I am not sure whether it had been freshly cooked and plated too long that it was cold on the plate or they rushed a previous meal and heat hurried in the microwave. The culinary experience was disappointing and we regretted eating our meal when we were to have gone. My husband thinks his chicken hasn't been thoroughly cooked and he's now choking an annoyed stomach and? Food poisoning. My son and I are all right. Needless to say though stay away! A reference to the health authorities may also be fine.
