We had a BD party. The only thing that we like is the ambiance - calm & authentic.. for this the resto get 1+ stars from 5....
First of all when we choose from the menu & wanted to order the waiter said that we're missing this, that & so on..She was very aggressive from the beginning, the food was not as described in the menu & rice was totally cold. I ordered "beef stew goulash with beans" there were 2 small pieces of meat - 1 beef & another one chicken!.... when waiter asked why there is a chicken in beef stew she couldn't explain & seemed very mad that we asked.... My friend order "white fish"... they served salmon.... when we told her that this is not a white fish again she was very mad... Another friend ordered the same like me, the beef stew, it was just 1 piece of meat- chicken with skin!.......... also, There were small bones in the salmon....
Dessert: I didn't want too complicate i said - ICEcream... pretty clear... what I received it was some different dessert kind of ice cream but with nuts! I'm allergic to nuts, I didn't asked (forgot the name) I just said icecream & they decide to bring me the one that more expensive...
BILLS: Our friend had total for food 19$... they calculate somehow taxes & 15% tip (by default) & somehow his bill went up to 44$!!!!!!!!!!! 200% tips WTH they said- ooops mistake... but for the rest people they just add 15% tip by default... but the service was terrible! it wasn't mentioned that the tip is by default if we are group more than 7 people..... she said it when we asked why she added 15% tip.... HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!! AVOID!!

Ordered Persian food for the first time for a group of ten people. The food was very well received... there were no left overs. It was my first time tasting Persian food & it was absolutely excellent tasting.

My dealings with the restaurant ordering on-line were very pleasant & they were so accommodating with the menu choices.

Thank you, you made me look good!

Just wanted to share our great experience at Yas,

We had a little party of 8 & were all very happy with our decision to eat there.

I ordered the Soltani which was amazing, one skewer or seasoned ground beef & one skewer of filet mignon.

My friends all ordered to their taste & were all very content with the quality of the food & the service we received.

Not to forget, you have to try their home made bread & ice cream !

Should be going back soon, even if I am discovering alot of restos on this site.
