Kabobs are excellent, served with rice and a tomato. They charge for extra sauce or bread which is disappointing given the price point of the entrees (they don’t come with sauce). The apps were disappointing, the eggplant is supposed to come with thickened yogurt but instead looked like a very watered down yogurt and the cinnamon flavor is strong. Saffron ice cream was delicious

Absolutely genuine Iranian food. They have the impossible koobideh which is something every vegan kebab lover wants. A decent variety of vegetarian options and you get your food quickly. They also have a great beer and wine menu. Our server however never even brought us water which was very strange especially in an Iranian restaurant! The owner/manager was very kind and polite. Strongly recommend and hope to visit again.

Absolutely the best kobeedah Kebobs ever! So juicy and tender and consistent with taste every single time; they have truly perfected the recipe. Saffron icecream is also a must. Sorry posting the pics of almost finished icecream. Hoping they can move to a bigger space so they can accommodate larger groups and reservations

Food is very authentic. Service is 5 . Ate there twice. Highly recommended. The owner is very engaged with his guests, he personally checks and makes sure you’re having a great experience.

The food was delicious and the employees were so friendly! We came a little before iftar and they offered us dates to break our fast with since we ordered late. Loved the saffron ice cream with the saffron tea!

Ice cream was great but the stew was a bit too sweet for my liking.

It understand they like to use pomegranate as an ingredient in their dishes. I loved their rice. The lamb shish kebab was over marinated but still not tender enough. Some of the dishes ordered by others were also not outstanding. Otherwise, the place is run by lovely people.

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 some saffron ice cream.

Best Iranian cuisine I tried. Small and elegant venue. Reserve your table ahead. Staff seem to be on the rush though. Our favorite is the Bakhtiari which is a flattened beef tenderloin wrapped in ground beef & lamb and served with basmati rice. I have never seen it served in any Iranian restaurant before. Their Zereshk Polo has saffron glazed barberries which is a must try. Chicken is so tender too. We ordered a tea pot that works well after the meal. Saffron ice cream has a unique taste and texture. Our Ashe soup was missed due to the rush. We will come back again for sure.

Best Persian Cuisine around hands down!!! Love this place and the owner Mr Owesi (Sp?). The food is spectacular with rich flavors and amazing presentation. I love everything on the menu! Of course some on my absolute favorites are the Gormezabzi on Tadig, Kubide with rice, and the grand finally of Zafron ice cream to cleanse the palate . I would eat there everyday if I could. Highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for savory traditional Persian food with a touch of class from the owner. He always welcome you open arms like a friend you’ve know your whole life. Truly amazing!
