    This Persian restaurant truly feels like home. From the very first bite, the flavors brought me right back to the tastes I grew up with. The food is authentic, perfectly seasoned, and cooked with real care. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are incredibly welcoming—like visiting family. It’s rare to find a place that captures the true essence of Persian hospitality and cuisine, but this one absolutely does. Highly recommended!

    This place has generous plates of roasted meat. Entering, you can smell the smoke and enjoy a very beautiful interior. It's not very big, but it is well-lit and there is enough space for you and the servers. Staff are helpful and quick to serve. The food is great, with mixes of sauces and herbs so that even the rice is atypical. The meat isn't my preferred doneness, but the flavor is great, and I appreciate the char.

    Love this place. Great portions and very tasty food. My go to is the lamb koobideh - so delicious. I like to sub the rice for grilled veggies and my husband will usually go with the barg kabob or the beef koobideh with rice. There’s also some leftover to take home. Their homemade pita is always warm and chewy. This time we tried their sour cherry rice with almond and pistachio - a little too sweet so would go for the regular rice or fries next time.
