Not my type of food. Interesting flavour, definitely different, but that doesn't means good. The cake actually it was super dry.

The food was good but the service was terrible. When I went to pay for the food, the waiter interrupted completing the transaction to continue talking to a potential customer. Very rude! I have the feeling if you don't order a big dish, they are salty. They should remember though that I am not just a today customer but also a future customer. 🧐

Always an absolute delight! From the appetizers to the coffees, smoothies, breakfast & meals. This café is an absolute gym. It is a little taste of the Middle East in NDG. The service is impeccable, the food is heavenly, & the tea is exotic & luxurious. & arrive early so you can find yourself a nice antique wing chair by the window.

Very nice staff. Cozy atmosphere.

We ate the number 2. It was delicious! I would definitely go back!

Tea was amazing!

The sausage omelette was not what i had expected. I wouldn't recommend the omelette.

We visited this Iranian brunch spot & had a great experience. The place was cozy & welcoming, & the food was fresh & well-prepared.

We tried two dishes:

Nashtaei 2 - A mix of potato pudding (Do Piazeh), lentil soup, a Persian-style omelette, & pinto beans, served with tea or coffee. Everything was flavorful & comforting.

Nashtaei 3 - A savory plate with sausage & tomato mixture (Bandari), boiled eggs, potato pudding (Do Piazeh), & pinto beans, also paired with tea or coffee.

The service was friendly & excellent, & the restaurant had a relaxed atmosphere & cozy ambience.

One thing we missed was the saffron ice cream, but we'll definitely be back to try it.

If you enjoy good food with rich flavors, this place is worth a visit! Highly recommended.
