Indulging at this Persian gem was an enchanting culinary journey. From the moment I stepped in, the warm ambiance embraced me, setting the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The menu danced across an array of flavors that transported my taste buds to another dimension. Each dish was a harmonious blend of aromatic spices and fresh ingredients, beautifully presented. The succulent kebabs and fragrant rice dishes were a true delight. The attentive staff added to the charm, making the evening unforgettable. Without a doubt, this Persian restaurant earns its place as a must-visit for food enthusiasts seeking an exquisite cultural feast.

Came here for a late lunch with the hubby and really had no idea what I was in for. Every bite is so delectable! We had the watermelon chiller, bread basket, beet salad, New York steak and baklava. Usually we need a to go box for leftovers but not this time! We enjoyed every savory bite. We will be back. Our server was Caesar and he was super informative, and very friendly! This place will also accommodate families with kids. There’s plenty of seating. Make your resos now!

Parking lot close by, like behind the restaurant. Nice cozy atmosphere with large selection of drinks. Caesar the bartender is amazing, if you have a small party of 3 or less, sit at the bar, faster seating and you can interact with Caesar, he’s a funny guy and he gives you drinks. The steaks are cooked accurately to your preference, and spreading that roasted garlic is magic. Tried the calamari too, not too shabby, not the best but the sauce helped, I think a plate of the Shishido peppers would be nice. Good steak house around town.

– They made us wait for five minutes to get our table ready even though we had reservation. When we get inside I noticed so many tables are empty so I assume the whole wait was for prestige?!

Absolutely fantastic. I went to STK a couple of weeks ago, and left hungry after paying away too much money. Here, the service, and the STEAK, were outstanding. Can’t wait to go again, might just make up an occasion.

My daughter took me there for mother’s day. We ordered the Bone Marrow for starters, it was so buttery wished there was more of it, toast was a bit too hard. It came with a strawberry salad the flavors were tangy and sweet.

The location was exquisite and well worth the trip! They have reservations, but if you can get in, that’s great. Simple but good cuisine alternatives are available on the menu. Excellent setting for a special event; returning soon!

We came for lunch around 1pm and there were no crowd on a Monday. Customer service is great. Food taste very good and ambiance is good too. It’s a place for special occassion since it’s a bit pricey. We just ordered calamari, chicken & beef kabob and bread and already paid a hundred bucks. Well this is located in Palo Alto what do you expect..

Drove about hour and half to their Palo Alto location. Ordered Cowboy Steak. However, by far one the best Ribeyes steak I have ever had. 5 star for the service and atmosphere.

Steaks were great and priced as you would expect. Would definitely visit again if I was in the area. Don’t normally enjoy sweet potato fries, but enjoyed them here. The rice dish recommended by the waiter was also enjoyable. However, I was a little disappointed by the herbed wild mushroom side dish we ordered.
