“Simply phenomenal! We just keep on ordering from them! Highly recommend this Persian [NOT arabic] place. They have the best variety of authentic food and it's just really great! One of a kind! A must try! We will be back!”
“Very simple restaurant with amazing food. Checked it out with a friend after a Google search, the reviews guided me here and it did not disappoint. The flavors of the food were perfect, great portion. So satisfied and will be happy to go back!!!”
“Very good and tender meat. I got the combo 2 and it was more than enough for me. Added an extra skewer of beef and it was good for 2 people. Mohammed is a very nice guy and server that helped us out. Under rated spot!”
“This place is very close to our home, and we chose it to dine in last night after having driven past it several times. Last time I saw a buffet through the window though that seems to be during the weekends. Our food was delicious and the service very friendly. Portions are generous and everything was seasoned very well. I recommend to start with the tomato lentil soup, so good. The bread was warm and delicious. Prices are very good. It’s byob; we will be coming back next time with wine. Also, it was not crowded at all, though we arrived before iftar. I will be telling all my neighbors and friends to try this place.”
