The food at this restaurant was superb. We ordered kubideh, chicken kebab, ghorme sabzi, and my personal favorite, baghali polo bo gusht, which was incredibly delicious and tasted just like it does in Iran.

I decided to try this restaurant with hopes of enjoying some quality homemade Persian food. Unfortunately, I was disappointed as the meat was served cold and undercooked, the rice lacked flavor, and the bread was cold. The presentation of the starter was sloppy and the main dish arrived too quickly after. Overall, I was unimpressed with my experience at this establishment.

This restaurant is awful. I do not recommend ordering anything from here. The chicken was not seasoned or cooked correctly, and I was unable to eat it.

I've eaten here twice it is ok for a quick tea or fresh orange juice. The food is ok I would be happier if service is a little better. Maybe it is best set up to accommodate take away.
