After a day of walking around downtown & not agreeing on what to eat I was starving & had a headache. This place was next to where I had gotten a massage earlier in the day & said to my son, that's it we're eating here & we're so glad we did! First time having Persian for me but my son has had it with his friends & said this is the best he's had.
We all ordered the Koobideh (beef skewers) that were tender & juicy. & that little triangle bread cooked into the rice was like a drug it was so good. Portion was more than enough.
We also had the eggplant appetizer with the fried onions. It came with a pillowy bread. We devoured it. & finished off with the saffron ice cream which was part creamy but more icy. Very rose scented. I never had it before but definitely interesting.
We enjoyed the decor, the family run business with mom & dad cooking & the son tending to us. He was so nice & helpful. Too bad we live 6 hours away!View more

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. The husband & wife that own the place (the wife is also the cook!) are very welcoming & the sweetest. I ordered takeout for a small meal, & the food more than exceeded my expectations. I got the mirza ghasemi with a side of saffron rice & the damnosh tea.

Mirza ghasemi: I don't think any words I use to describe this dish can do it justice. The eggplant was melt-in-your-mouth & had the most amazing grilled/smoky flavor, & it was made even better by the egg. Highly recommend getting this.

Saffron rice: To me, rice is supplementary to a meal & can even be omitted. But this saffron rice could be standalone. The flavor that came from the saffron & the scorchedness...I think my heart stopped a little.

Domnosh: This was such a pleasure to drink. Such delicate flavors & subtly sweet.

The food & drinks here are so good & made with such attention & care. It's really worth checking out.View more

The food is so good honestly I have nothing negative to say about this place. Love the atmosphere & I love the tahdig rice with the koobideh, their soup is always very delicious. I appreciate they also accommodate for people that fasts & brings cheese, bread & dates so we can break our fast. lovely place!View more

This restaurant/experience was simply amazing. The outside does not look very appealing, but DO NOT think twice about it! Once inside, you'll see a very nice & clean looking restaurant. The waitress was very friendly & answered all our questions about Persian food very attentively. The ambiance was really nice. I brought my date here & she loved it. There wasn't too many people around so it was very quiet to converse, & the Persian music was very lovely background. We had their homemade bread which was very light, with two dipping sauces. We ordered the eggplant/onion which was very tasty. My gf had vegetarian shish kebab with rice & I had chicken with barberry. They were both excellent, super hot, & delicious. The portions were perfect so that you were filled. The chicken was very well cooked, but still soft & juicy. We ended with a tea. Service was excellent, food came promptly & was very well presented. We were very impressed & will be definitely be returning. In general, the food was very healthy which was also a plus for us!

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!!

Hi, We are disappointed you and your guests did not have a pleasant experience. Please note all menu items are subject to availability based on season and supply. Our stew Ghormeh Sabzi is rich in flavor and only contains Grade AAA Canadian beef. As for our Persian ice cream, which is we are the only Persian restaurant to make in house and the most sought after desert, does contain pistachios as indicated in our menu. There are many other items that contains nuts or nut products and these are also clearly indicated. We always expect patrons to advise of any food allergies prior to ordering. Thank you,
