I highly recommend here for their nice & warm environment. What I like most about their food is that their rice is soft & delicious, ( many places serve the dried rice) . I tested almost any food from the menu & i liked them. Most of the time i go for bagali polo ba mahicheh & Ash reshteh as i found it hard to make it this much delicious.

This is the best restaurant I've been to in a long time. It feels like a meal cooked by your grandmother, but with more attention paid to the presentation! The staff are warm & friendly. There are dishes here that are not commonly found in other Persian restaurants, which is exciting. The decor is a little sparse, but I don't mind. It just feels like someone's home kitchen, which is amazing.

I was excited to try this restaurant, but it was a huge disappointment. The restaurant felt unwelcoming from the moment we walked in. Dusty shelves, greasy condiment containers, & dirty floors gave the impression that cleanliness wasn't a priority.

We ordered the Akbar Joojeh & the Koobideh. The Akbar Joojeh was extremely salty, overcooked, & the staff confirmed it had been reheated. We couldn't even take a bite, so we refused it & weren't charged. They gave us another one to take home, but because of the smell of the chicken & our concerns about the restaurant's cleanliness, we threw it away instead of eating it.

The Koobideh was the worst I've ever had. It came with only half a tomato, & when we asked for the other half, we were told we'd have to pay for a whole tomato.

Overall, I can't understand the positive reviews. Based on the food quality, cleanliness, & overall experience, I would not return.
