Terrible service with yummy food! There is a section in the cafe that is behid a wall somehow & they are not able to see the section with sofa so this is the reason that they don't pay attention. The atmosphere is cute but needs a serious repairment cuz the coffee table that was infront of us was glued together & you could easily see the glue. The kadaif & saffron cake were very yummy.

La nourriture est délicieuse & la place est jolie pour bien profiter de l'été. Les soupes sont très bonnes. Mais le service est terrible. Personne pour demander quelque chose & ils vous ignorent. Ne viennent pas vous demander si tout va bien. On doit aller voir nous même pour avoir quelque chose.

Very nice, quaint, local business. We loved the Persian baklava & qottab & the coconut cookie. We also got a saffron latte that was very good, the saffron was great. Finally, the Nutella milkshake, which was delicious too. The staff are all very nice & speak Farsi & the ambiance was nice & calm too.
