While the ambiance was charming and the service was excellent, the food lacked the special presence that makes Persian food pop it was acceptable but at best average. We ordered the standard grilled chicken. It came with a small portion of rice (most Persian restaurants give you too much) with very little saffron and the meager portion of chicken was not marinated and seasoned as expected for this dish; there was a thin sliver of lemon and no grilled tomatoes or onions customarily seen with this presentation. Moreover, the grilling tasted like it may have been prepared over a gas flame vs the customary open char wood. We are grateful for the great service and kind hosts.

They brought out a mixed side-dish plate that looked straight out of the supermarket cans, but they charge full restaurant prices for it. Felt kinda ripped off, to be honest. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the food just isn’t worth the money. Probably won’t be back. Price per person: €30–40 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
