Gave this spot 2 chances, nothing here really impresses my palate. My latest plate was the salmon & chicken dish, it left me wondering why I just didn’t go home and cook myself. Dessert was a cold piece of chocolate cake, which the waitress claimed was baked on premises, highly doubt that. Customer service was good, 2 stars.

The service was excellant. Our waiter was very good and knowledgeable about the food. The barley soup was delicious. The baked feta appetizer in the cooked tomatoes, red peppers, and onions as well as the grilled mushrooms were amazing! Their hummus is delicately seasoned and the warm persian flat bread was perfect with it. The ground beef kebabs with the dill rice were tender and moist and very flavorful. There was almost no difference in flavor between the ground lamb kebab and the ground beef kebab. The carrot cake was dry and crumbly by itself but the cream cheese frosting was rich and decadent. I liked the persian touches in the decor but the spray paint on the upper part of the walls seems out of place. I will definitely be going back and definitely recommend this restaurant.

We only saw one staff member doing everything it seemed, but he was superhuman and made the experience great. Delicious good, water filled, split the check, to go containers, and so on, attending to multiple tables. The food is great. Kabob combo is delish for $20, or combine a kabob and rice appetizer for closer to $10.

The restaurant isn’t the classiest or as nice as the one further south on Clark in Chicago proper, but the food is still good.

The vegetarian plate was some of the best food I’ve ever had! Very generous for the price, too. And the owner (I think?) was very kind.

Delicious, flavorful food. Very tender kebabs, good vegetarian options, and good signature cocktails that weren’t too sweet. Large portion sizes that made excellent next day lunch.
