Description

Hidden in Denver, this family-run Persian/Middle Eastern spot delivers generous, affordable plates—standout koobideh, soltani, saffron rice, hot pita, baklava and strong tea—served with warm, homely hospitality in a quiet, no-frills setting. Diners report perfectly charred, flavorful kebabs and large portions, but others note inconsistent freshness since an ownership change: cold or reheated dishes, bland hummus and tired salads. Expect simple, comforting fare with good value when fresh, though quality can be uneven at times.
