Good food. Reasonable prices. Service good although considering what we ordered and spent was unhappy with charge for additional bread. Wine expensive!!

I have been to many Persian restaurants around the world and all Persian restaurants in the area. Amoo's food is consistent with delivering good recipes and steady quality. The owner is always there, he's very kind and checks up and asks about your experience while dining. The waitresses are always attentive and food is usually served within 25 minutes of seating. The food here is priced right, good quality, good portions, and always fresh! Also try Amoo's teaHe blends his own tea and it's very flavorful and fragrant!! I highly recommend Amoos restaurant! It is the best in the area! Merci Amoo!

The food is delicious but my biggest knock on this place is the bread. They basically toast store bought pita bread.

This restaurant is fantastic, the food is delicious, and the staff is very friendly, providing excellent service.

Amoo’s Restaurant, deeply rooted in authentic Persian cuisine, has garnered a mixed reputation among patrons. While the menu features delicious options such as tender kebabs and gourmet sabzi, service issues mar the dining experience. Many customers report long wait times and inattentive staff, with some claiming a rude atmosphere from management. Despite these shortcomings, the culinary quality remains praised, particularly the saffron tea and diverse meat dishes. With a cozy setting that evokes the charm of traditional Iranian eateries, Amoo’s appeals to both locals and food enthusiasts alike, though diners may wish for improved service to complement their meals.

This restaurant is exceptional for dining. The food is outstanding, and the service is attentive and precise. It's a bit on the pricey side, but definitely worth every cent.

For years I have traveled the country full time in an RV. We have eaten some amazing food in our travels but this place is one of our favorites in the whole country. We will detour by 3 4 hours to make sure we eat at Amoo 's. I 'm always worried that it won 't live up to my memory but they never disappoint. I 'd like to offer menu suggestions for Persian food novices. Number one, ask your waiter for suggestions. I 've never been disappointed by their suggestions and the workers here treat you like family. These portions come with plenty of food and we usually order for the table and share. Menu suggestions for novices: pita bread and hummus. It 's good hummus. Try any of their other dips. Tahdig mihicheh this is a pan crisped rice with a lamb shank that is seasoned and cooked to utter perfection. This dish is magical. Even if you 're not a lamb lover give this a go. Koobideh the menu says this is ground beef but it is SO much more! This is a long kabob of the most tender, flavorful meatball you 've ever had. Lamb soltani you get the koobideh kabob and a lamb kabob with this plating. If you like lamb, give it a try. saffron chicken this is a nice subtle flavored kabob of chicken, this is the least adventurous option for shy American pallettes but still very good. Shirin polo if you feel adventurous, upgrade your rice to this fancy rice drink: Doogh this is a savoury yogurt drink that you have to try at least once in your life. I 've tried several around the country now and I like Amoo 's best. Many people love the Saffron tea haven 't tried it because I don 't do black tea but if Doogh isn 't your thing try this. dessert: GET THE SAFFRON ICE CREAM!!! Life changing. We have asked to ship it across the country and they said sure, we get that request more than you would expect . If you don 't like anything after you try these menu suggestions you don 't like Persian food. And I am sad for you.

This restaurant offers a selection of authentic Persian dishes, catering to both Iranian and non-Iranian guests. The atmosphere closely resembles that of traditional Iranian restaurants, providing a comfortable dining experience. Despite not having a very spacious dining area, I highly recommend this place for its delicious Persian cuisine. I hope you enjoy your time at this restaurant as much as I did.

This restaurant serves the best Iranian cuisine I have ever tried. The venue is small and elegant, so it's recommended to reserve your table ahead of time. The staff seemed to be in a hurry, but they were still friendly. Our favorite dish was the Bakhtiari, a flattened beef tenderloin wrapped in ground beef lamb and served with basmati rice. I have never seen this dish served at any other Iranian restaurant before. Their Zereshk Polo, which includes saffron-glazed barberries, is a must-try. The chicken was also very tender. We ended our meal with a pot of tea, which was a nice way to finish the dining experience. Don't miss out on their saffron ice cream for dessert.

As Persian food enthusiasts, we decided to try this restaurant for the first time. The ambiance was pleasant and the food was absolutely delicious. Although we had to wait longer than usual for our orders, we understood that it was the weekend and the restaurant was very busy.

Very good food and friendly service. This small restaurant deserves a visit and a visit and again and again and again. 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, juice and flavorful. Dished are of larger portions. Even the rice are tasty. Finish the meal with
