I had a delightful experience at this place, flavorful Persian food, meat was tender and juicy but definitely tasted the excess onions added to the mix… Rice was not what I had expected being that I had tried Persian food before, it needed more seasoning and butter to enhance the taste. On the other hand, Salad, hummus and stuffed grape leaves were Ok! Overall, this place is a definite recommendation for anyone who wants to try Persian food while enjoying the seating and the atmosphere.

This place is a must. A must try. I am not big on trying new foods but I opened up to trying this since exploring a new changes! I’ve been twice now and from the seacoast area.

I love Persian food and I have so many reasons to love this restaurant. Hear me out as I explain as a non-Persian diner (1) Their Ash reshteh, which is hard to come by, is yummy, comforting and very filling. (2) All of the kebabs and the meat are flavourful. Even something simple as a grilled chicken is beautifully seasoned. (3) They offer freshly brewed black tea and it’s delicious!!! Do yourself a favour and order it after your meal. (4) There’s Persian ice cream on the menu it’s delightful especially because of the rose & saffron flavour. Lots of pistachios on the outside & inside add texture. (5) There’s tahdig in the appetizer section. (6) Their baklava is fresh and crispy properly made with pistachios (not walnut!)

There’s zero taste to their food. My son ordered the chicken kabab and it literally came with nothing on the side except for the burned tomato. It was so dry. I got the falafel platter. Not impressed.

I have walked by this place many time and wondered about their foods. So last night I decided to go in. Nice environment. Clean bathroom. Delicious food. This is my first step in getting to know Mediterranean cuisines. So far so good. Give it a try.

Fresh and flavorful Persian grilled food! The salmon kabob had a nice sear. The borani (spinach, garlic, and yogurt) was creamy and delicious. The people were kind! The people were kind and the service was quick. Great casual spot for eat in or take out. We will be back!

The food here is delicious, and priced reasonably. But the problem is that there are two people running the place at any given time – even when the dining area is full. Wait times increase greatly, and quality goes down slightly – slight enough to be noticed, but not drastically change the taste of the food.

We’ve been here for dinner a few times now, and as an Iranian-American I can say they have the good kabob compared to other restaurant in the Boston area. I wasn’t a fan of their rice, it needs more salt and butter, but overall the food is delicious. My favorite is their barg. I always get an extra skewer of barg with whatever else I order. Their prices are reasonable compared to other Persian restaurants in the area. I will say the mirzaghasemi could use a little less tomato paste, but that’s a personal preference. Their doogh is really thick and tasty too. Overall, definitely recommend! Loss of one star was for the rice and mirzaghasemi which are both a personal preference for me, and I have very high standards for Persian food definitely visit them and order some tasty kabobs

First time to this place. Went with friends for dinner. Sat outside on the patio. Atmosphere was nice. Ordered the family tray for 4, hummus, KASHKE BADEMJAN, tadiq, lentil soup. Meat was next level. Juicy, tender, and melts in your mouth. Rest of the food tasted great as well. I highly recommend this place. Definitely going there again next time I’m in town.
