Resto en sous-sol qui nous donne l'impression d'être dans un cocon. Ambiance chaleureuse, colorée. Après avoir commandé au bar, le service est servi à table. J'ai adoré la cuisine. Produits frais & goûtus… plats végétariens disponible.
Carte des breuvages originale, thé & smoothie proposés délicieux & frais!

Fantastic place! We had a falafel sandwich & a sandwich called Koukou (vegetarian) very tasty & refined. Also the drinks (a smoothie & a cucomber drink with mint) were super. Can only recommend this place, as also the decor & ambiance is very cozy.

Several vegetarian & vegan options, which you hardly find in a Persian cafe/ restaurant. I had the kuku sibzamini, which is one of my favourites of our cuisine. They were definitely different than my mom's but really good. If your mom does them like small little kottles & not so mushy inside, you will find something different here, but still very delicious. Maybe it's also a regional thing I don't know enough about since I was born & raised outside of Iran.

They also have kuku sabzi & some other kukus which they serve on Iranian bread. You will also find shole zard & Persian drinks.

The service is also super friendly & nice to speak to. The cafe itself is very comfy. I wish there were more places like this which represent our culture, & do not only specialise in a pile of rice with kabob.

I had a very nice experience & would definitely come often if I lived here.

Creating a comfortable space for relaxation is important for well-being. Finding a cozy atmosphere can significantly reduce stress levels & promote a sense of calm. It's delightful to have a place to unwind & escape from daily life. The blend of coziness & coolness can create an ideal sanctuary. Therefore, take the time to design such a retreat for optimal relaxation.
