Amazing Persian restaurant! We ordered Naab kebab, koobideh, & chenjeh - every single one was incredibly flavorful & tender. The kebabs were grilled perfectly. The staff were very friendly & welcoming, & the atmosphere felt warm & cozy. Definitely a place I'd come back to & recommend!
We came as a group of 17 people & ordered kalleh pacheh & halim. Even though we had informed them in advance, they weren't fully ready for such a large group, so it took quite a long time for the bread & drinks to arrive. But I have to say , when the food finally came, it was absolutely worth the wait.
The kalleh pacheh was incredible. The same exact flavour you remember from Iran: rich, authentic, & perfectly cooked. Honestly, it felt like eating breakfast back home. 🤩🔥
We also had Halim, & just a heads-up: they normally serve it with sugar on top, so make sure to ask them not to add sugar if you prefer it salty. We asked them to change ours & they kindly prepared a new one. Their flexibility & friendliness really stood out.
The rest of the experience: the tea, the warm service, all added to the feeling of true Persian hospitality. They were so friendly & welcoming throughout our meal.

WOW. I honestly didn't expect to have such an unforgettable Persian food experience but this restaurant completely shocked me.
You must definitely try their food. Their Chef Kebab (Naab kebab) is not just delicious it is incredible, unforgettable.🤩
& if you are lucky, ask for the special of the day. Today it was Morasa Polo, & THIS is exactly what real Persian flavour tastes like. It was so good that not only did we finish it here, we actually ordered another one for take-out. That says everything.
& just when we thought it couldn't get better the tea & desserts showed up.
I swear I have never in my life seen this many Persian desserts in any restaurant.
Their Napeloni, their pumpkin dessert, their saffron cake… Omg.🥧💥
UNBELIEVABLE.
Just try it.
This place is a full Persian experience flavour, presentation, authenticity.
Highly recommended.😍
We had an amazing experience here.
It was our mom's birthday & they gave us a great service. The decor was beautiful & very Iranian.
The food was great. Definitely will come back✨

Absolutely loved this place! We had Baghali Polo ba Mahicheh & Morasa Polo; both were full of flavor & perfectly cooked. The tea & baghlava at the end were the perfect touch. Amazing food, super friendly vibe & fantastic staff! Can't wait to go back!
Tasty authentic Persian food, generous proportions, nicely presented. Caring staff, good service. I'd get rid of the table cloths all together to make the restaurant look brighter. Everything else was perfect!
We were a table of six. The restaurant was not full (only 3 tables full in general) & it took 45 minutes for our orders to be prepared. The staff didn't exactly know which table ordered what. They kept forgetting what our table needed (water, spoons & forks,...) & they could not even fix the bill properly. Everything took so long that we finally got up & paid at the counter. Even then we had to repeat for them what we had ordered. The food was good, but the super slow staff... . We're not coming back here again. Not sure where all the 5 stars are coming from.
I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I ordered the vegan kebab plate & it was delicious & substantial. My friend ordered the koobideh with an extra skewer of lamb which he devoured & enjoyed very much. The main plates come with soup, salad, grilled tomatoes & rice along with toasted bread. I got an extra side of roasted vegetables with my dish. Very chill & relaxed atmosphere. This restaurant's menu is extensive for various diets. I love this as I was able to eat there as a vegan with no issues & left content rather than hungry. The restaurant & washrooms are clean & the art & decor were beautiful. I couldn't stop lookiing at one painting. Our waiter was lovely & made us feel welcomed. This is a great spot for a date, a night out with family or friends. There were even a few kids that we didn't even notice until we paid. They were so well behaved they could put some adults to shame!
