This was our 2nd time here in the last couple of months. The food, service and most importantly staff are awesome. I was a bit worried about my American friends but they loved it. The meat was really fresh and nicely marinated. Great Job and we are going to go back again soon.

Absolutely delicious food! This is my second time dining here and the food has been delicious and the service outstanding both times! I can’t wait for my next visit! I got the Maast-O-Moosir and the Koobideh Combination.

Beautiful restaurant. Service was impeccable. Taste was average. Ive tried other Persian restaurants and this one in comparison lacked a lot of flavors but the experience itself was great. If i was the owners only thing i would change is more flavorful food. Everything else is perfect. Maast o moosir was

We stopped by here for dinner. We got the kash-e-bademjoon, tahdig with gheime and ghorme sabzi, and koobide kabob. Everything was so yummy!! Our server was very professional, friendly, and accommodating. Highly recommended!

I ordered the koobideh kabob with saffron rice, grilled tomato, and pepper, and it absolutely delivered on both flavor and authenticity. The koobideh was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and grilled to perfection with that slightly smoky flavor you hope for. The rice was fluffy and aromatic, with just the right touch of saffron for color and taste — a classic detail done right. The charred tomato and pepper on the side complemented the dish beautifully, adding a touch of smokiness and balance. Portion sizes were generous, and the presentation was clean and appealing. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant yet relaxed, with attentive service that made the meal feel special without being overbearing. If you’re looking for authentic, well-prepared Persian cuisine with all the traditional touches, I would highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Really great restaurant with excellent food and service! Came here with a group and split just about every appetizer - the highlights were both of the eggplant dishes. We also each got our own kebab dish and had more than enough for leftovers. My first time trying Persian cuisine and our server was awesome at explaining everything. Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience at this Iranian restaurant. The food was fresh, authentic, and full of flavor, reminding me of true Persian home cooking. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with friends and family. A special thanks to our Reza, who was very polite, attentive, and friendly—he made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for delicious Persian food and excellent service.

Wonderful atmosphere. Busy place. Server was kind. I was looking forward to trying this place since it's been recommended by several friends. Overall the food was good. The only complaints I had is that the solid locked flavor, and the meat was a little dry. Other than that, the rice was amazing and so was the eggplant dip! They didn't have any mocktail options, which I would highly recommend for the restaurant to look into!
