The food was also delicious the dumplings were fantastic (we'd ordered the sampler), and all the entrees were so good! We orderedthe chicken korma and mushroom kebab, and both were great. So many good things on the menu, we're sure to return.

Potato and leek boulanee and beef turnover (sambosa were both delicious and nicely fried. Leek and scallion dumplings with the meat on top of it was flavorfuland soft. Saffron chicken was also delicious, but compared to other dishes, it’s just okay. Baklava was not the best one thatI’ve ever had, but firni (the pudding option on the dessert menu was very delicious. Parking was pretty easy with their ownparking lot. However, during special holidays, they seem to limit the menu to only a selection of larger plates and severalsmaller plates… Would suggest customers to avoid coming on special holidays, including Mother’s Day. Also, some dishes canbe pretty pricy (e.g., the 3-piece beef tenderloin small plate for almost $15…!! Overall, we really enjoyed the food, andthe service was also good.

My favorite dishes are the veggie options, and I also enjoy their Mantu (beef dumplings). Some dishes had a bit too much black pepper for my taste, but overall it was a great experience.
