Parfums de Perse is a wonderful place to experience authentic Persian cuisine & hospitality. It's the perfect combination of a cozy café & a traditional Persian restaurant.

The menu offers a great variety of authentic Iranian dishes, especially delicious Northern Persian specialties, all prepared with fresh ingredients & rich flavors. They also serve excellent Persian tea, freshly brewed coffee, & a tempting selection of pastries & desserts.

The atmosphere is warm, inviting, & beautifully designed, making it a great spot for both a relaxing coffee break & a memorable meal. The staff are friendly, attentive, & make you feel truly welcome.

Whether you're craving authentic Persian food or simply looking for a great café to enjoy tea, coffee, & sweets, I highly recommend Parfums de Perse. I will definitely be coming back.

The stews are very mid the pan kebab was very basic for 27.00 ( steep ) it's a 5.5/10 I will not comeback unless it's for Ice-cream or coffee or a beverage

We were a big group. Everyone ordered either coffee or type of dessert of both. One friend had a small Tupperware of homemade baklava. When she invited us to take one small piece of baklava each, they come saying we are not allowed to eat anything not from their place!! Even that we all already ordered from their place!!
We didn't bring a big dessert like a big cake or something & we didn't request any empty plates or utensils from them!! The friend just invited us to take a small piece of baklava each by hand!
Greedy! I will not come back!

The prices are too expensive compared to other Iranian cafes. For example a simple Americano Coffee with no sugar & no milk costs 4.99 before tax!!
This price usually is a cost of Late.

The space is good but the prices are too high!
