Just ordered from uber eats, unfortunately I couldn’t select the buy one get one free option in the app and had to call them just to confirm. Their customer service lady responded with care and somehow we were able to manage the order to be delivered as buy one get one free. Thank you so much to their chef as well.
Food is delicious like always, I had their Kashke bademjun and Loobia polo! Super tasty 👌

Thanks again to their team and persian hospitality ☀️👏

FOOD: Koobideh kebab ($23) was fantastic – very tender and flavorful, and came with vegetables and some tahdig (crisp rice mixed with some saffron). Had the vaziri ($29.99) as well previously – while I was not as big of a fan as the chicken/almond/pomegranate skewer that it came with (compared to koobideh), that is more a matter of personal preference. One main is enough to fill a person (and perhaps some leftovers), and the food is all very reasonably priced.

SERVICE: Very friendly – and I have been three different times

ATMOSPHERE: The menus, wall decor, and tableware are all well-designed. Great casual eatery

I strongly recommend people visit and try this place, which I would consider a hidden gem.

Great experiences the kabab bakhtiari and koobideh were so delicious and juicy. We got a platter of side dishes that were super tasty and the chai and banana were super good. Definitely will be coming back a

So good I forgot to take a before picture but I think this speaks even more volume as to how absolutely delicious this was. I don’t even know what I ate, I always wanted to try this restaurant as i always walk by it on my way home. I’m so incredibly happy I decided to go today as I got the Sunday lunch special and the portions were extremely generous and the FLAVOUR was out of this world. I’m First Nation and never tried this type of cuisine before and I can definitely say I will be back. 10 out of 10 in my books and i think it was faster than McDonalds service wise, was in and out with my take out and the friendly smiles was the icing on the cake other than the aroma of spices as the chef was cooking up something amazing. 🙏🏾❤️ chi miigwetch for an amazing experience.

This restaurant offers a truly authentic Persian dining experience. The saffron flavor shines through beautifully, giving each dish a distinctive taste. The eggplant is cooked to perfection—soft, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Their local saffron ice cream is a must-try; it’s smooth, fragrant, and absolutely delicious. The only drawback was the salad accompanying the main dish, which felt rather ordinary compared toeverything else. Overall, it’s a nice spot for anyone who loves Persian cuisine.
