Try the Persian Fog

After visiting the Museum of Arts, we thought of having a light lunch & found a nearby place that was serving Persian dishes. We were intrigued by their name, the cuisine, the reviews, & the photos shared by people. When we entered the place, it felt as if we would sit there for hours without feeling bored! We ordered 2 sandwiches - a Falafel Sandwich & a Veg Grill Sandwich. Along with that, we ordered their sharbat. Boy, oh boy! What an experience it was! The bread, the pickle, & the veggies especially the falafel were yummy & healthy. The Persian Paradise Sharbat was as good as it's named & so was the Hibiscus Sharbat. I would certainly go there again & try out their dessert options as well. Highly recommended. Cheers!

I love this restaurant! The vibe was great, the waitresses were all lovely, & I enjoyed the music, design, & decoration. Even the dishes on the table were nice. The food was good too, but the rose water was a bit too strong for us.
