We had barg and koobideh, lamb, and two stews, one with tahdig. Kabobs and stews are both great. Chinese cuisine has similar dish too,you let the sauce soak the crispy rice. The Mahicheh was cooked perfectly well. Meat separates from the bone upon touch, juiceand flavorful. Dished are of larger portions. Even the rice are tasty. Finish the meal with some saffron ice cream.

The environment and atmosphere look quite like the classic Iranian model restaurants and you'll feel comfortable dining there even if they don't have a verylarge did in the area. I highly recommend this place for the taste of authentic Persian food. Hope you also enjoy the time youspend at this restaurant

Our favorite is the Bakhtiari which is a flattened beef tenderloin wrapped in ground beef lamb and served with basmati rice. Ihave never seen it served in any Iranian restaurant before. Their Zereshk Polo has saffron glazed barberries which is a musttry. Chicken is so tender too. We ordered a tea pot that works well after the meal. Saffron ice cream has a unique taste andtexture. Our Ashe soup was missed due to the rush. We will come back again for sure.

As a Persian, I always believed that Bakhtiari included chicken as well, so this was a different take on it, I suppose! Additionally, some parts of the dish were completely burnt, as you can see in the picture. Moreover, the prices are higher than those of other Persian restaurants in the area, and I can't quite understand why, since the food was just average and not particularly impressive.
