From the moment we entered the restaurant, we were met with unprofessional behavior from the management, which made the experience very unpleasant for us. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was also unsatisfactory; the kebabs were undercooked, & the bread served as an appetizer was completely dry & stale.
In addition, three empty butter containers were placed on our table along with the bread & butter box, which clearly showed they had been taken from a previous customer's table & brought to us without proper attention-something that is very concerning from a hygiene standpoint.
Finally, we were asked to give a tip without our consent, which was also very unprofessional & uncomfortable.
Overall, this experience was not satisfactory at all, & we expected at least basic standards of service & respect toward customers to be maintained.
We had made reservations for my brother in laws birthday.
We had such a wonderful & memorable time.
The appetizers, the main dish were deeeeeeelicious. Quality food, generous quantity, priced very fair.
Satisfaction guaranteed 👌.
I know we are going back again for more Persian Culinary at its best.
Thank you to all the staff & special thanks to the Chef 👩?🍳.
Such an amazing experience. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember, maybe over 10 years. The quality of food is always consistent & tastes delicious, the atmosphere is unique, & the service is incredible. The owner is the nicest lady ever!!! Cannot recommend more. 10/10 experience

I had a very decent meal in Quartier Perse. The service was well & the atmosphere was pleasant. As you order, a welcome bread & butter platter is served. Bread is not freshly baked but alright. For main course, I ordered lamb shank with bean rice. The quality & portion were great.
I went there yesterday with a group of friends, the staff were friendly & the food was high quality. Will go back again definitely
Ps. They have one of best Dough
This restaurant is a discovery. I have a friend that talk about it for several years & we finally had an event & it was delicious. Don't go there for the presentation or the look of the place, go for the service & the quality of the food! The staff was most welcoming & very helpful. Order & share the meals because it's all really tasty!
Hi The service was good but the food quality was dispointing specially the Barg in the soltani Hope this comment will help to have better quality or at least try Merci
I've tried this place three times, & each time the quality of the food, specifically the Koobideh, was inconsistent. The first time it was awesome, the second time it was inedible. However, due to the positive experience the first time, I gave it another chance, but unfortunately, they disappointed me again with a super mediocre Koobideh. Overall, it's definitely not a place I would recommend, especially for someone trying Persian food for the first time.
I saw the reviews & pictures before, but doesn't do the food justice. My first time at a Persian restaurant & I will definitely be back. Best kababs I've ever had! Pictutres here are the barg & koubideh, better than the stew IMO & I'm not a kebab person usually so that's saying something. The marinated olives in pomegranate & walnut, OMG! (Zaitun parvardeh). Even the salad & soup were delicious. The tea is a must. The only reason for not 5 star across the board is the ambiance/déco but it's about the food for me. It gave cabane a sucre vibes which was fun & family style but not overly romantic or fancy. Again that doesn't take away from the quality of food! Parking was pleasantly easy off a side street, & right next to villa Maria metro stop.
