Like the food & atmosphere. We ordered three different dishes & we liked all dishes, thank you. The service could be more professional.

like others have mentioned the service is really not good, the worker was not rude at all just very inattentive (we sat outside). We ordered a latte & tea & only the latte came awhile after the food (also extremely tasteless & watery pistachio chai). I cancelled the tea since it seemed like she forgot, also had to go ask for water. But otherwise the terrace was a nice space, & the food made it worth it for me, everything had great flavor! Especially the spicy sausage dish (though not spicy) & small sholeh zard. The bread wasn't my favorite. We got the brunch Nashtaei 2 (they were out of potato pudding so swapped sausage) Overall I was satisfied 🙂‍↕️ but probably wouldn't be back again

Great food & portions, but the floor staff is absolutely terrible. Bringing water to customers is pretty basic, yet I find myself leaving my table way to often to go ask at the cash. You have to clear your own table, otherwise dishes pile up. & forget about mid-food service! Staff will leave customers after dropping off the plates to take a chit-chat smoke break together. Perhaps a portion of tips should go to customers? Very unserious.

This is a hidden gem. They have great pricing. Great! Fresh food & juices. Breakfast & fresh squeezed juice Persian style. Amazing! I'm definitely going back again & again if you haven't tried a must go. Almost forgot their breakfast is really good & affordable.

J'adore cette place, nous sommes allés avec mon copain pour avoir une expérience de brunch différent, & c'était vraiment cool. J'avais jamais essayée de la cuisine persienne, mais j'étais toujours curieuse. Il y a une brunch avec caviar, çà c'est tout à dire 😩. L'ambiance, la cuisine & la musique faisaient de cette place une très bonne souvenir pour quelqu'un la visite. Recommandé 100/10, différent & tout une expérience.

We went here yesterday for brunch & I have to say the service could not be any worst. The 2 male servers working there, were completely arrogant & completely uninterested in costumers. At some point both of them were outside chatting each other up. We did not get the tea that was included with our breakfast & at some point even needed to get up to get their attention. The food is not great either, there is way too much tumeric & EVERYTHING.

The quality of the food was delicious & the decor of the cafe was attractive. Unfortunately, the behavior of the cafe staff is not good with Muslim women, especially with Iranian Muslim women!
