   Nice place but overpriced. Baghali polo ba goosht came to $46 (36 on the menu but charged extra 10 for the rice!). A glass of doogh $10 and glass of wine $16.

   Food was amazing but large portions do we couldn’t finish it all . We had lamb shank , lamb kebab and sultan beef kebabs . I think we could have shared a rice and potentially entrees if you have apps and bread you could share 2 entrees betweeen 3 people . Service was excellent and we loved the Persian music playing in the background. Space is cute and funky . Highly recommend

   Food was outstanding--the tahdig is to die for, everything was delicious and well-prepared. The attentive service and beautiful atmosphere makes this an outstanding place for a celebratory dinner, or simply to indulge yourself.

   I can’t believe it’s been open almost a year and I just now went. Beautiful atmosphere, such attention to detail in the space and the food. Some of the best lamb I have ever had was here! The appetizer sampler is a must to try. Our server, David, was very knowledgeable on the menu and the cultural significance of the ingredients and plates. Definitely coming back again!

   Loved it!! Went here with a large group. Food was wonderful and service attentive. The Branzino and Chicken were highly recommended. I’ll definitely be back.

   We had such a great time. We hadn’t had Persian food before so they were patient with us, let us order at our pace and made lots of suggestions based on other things we like to eat and the flavors that we like. First, the cocktails were outstanding! We hadn’t the house old fashioned and a few others that were so good. We got the watermelon salad, the beet salad and the combo app plate. The homemade bread was light and crunchy and great with the hummus and other dips on the combo plate. For dinner we shared the half chicken over rice with chicken and the combo chicken and beef kabobs with saffron rice and berries. The atmosphere and vibe were enjoyable and you could tell they spent time designing the restaurant to give it an old world feel. Can’t wait to go back!

    Overpriced and terrible Easily one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had. The food was bland, greasy, and clearly made with the cheapest ingredients. For what they charge, you’d expect at least decent service or atmosphere—nope. Total waste of money. Avoid at all costs.
