    We hadn’t been back to the restaurant for a while and found the food to be very good and especially flavorful. The restaurant was fairly busy but the noise level was much better than on prior visits.

    Wonderful experience for my boyfriends birthday. The food was delicious! We ordered the rack of lamb in which was cooked to perfection at medium rare. Our waitress kept our dinner paced properly, checked in appropriately and truly enhanced our dining experience and we will be back!

    Looking for exceptional fresh Persian food with spot on service and great art work this is your place . Authentic family recipes cooked by the chef that celebrates his family heritage with love and soul! Loved the steak/marinated tender chicken and sides, family braised chicken recipe in a pomegranate sauce over rice. Will return when we are back in town for sure!
