We are pretty picky about our Persian food and had never eaten here. We came with a friend that had been and said it had been renovated and is under newer management since the pandemic. The ambiance was nice, clean, and chic and the kabob was superb! Our food was delicious and our server was very accommodating. We will definitely be returning and telling others! Vegetarian options: They have salad options and veggie kabob Dietary restrictions: Always easy to eat gluten free. Just don't eat the complementary lavash bread.

I placed a 97$ order on DoorDash from this place. Once my food arrived the kabob was raw inside. I contacted the restaurant I let them know that my food was underdone and the guy on the phone said next time "you should ask for it well done". I shouldn't have to ask for my food to be well done if it was cooked all the way through. He then said needs to check something and put me on a 21 minute hold, after the 21 minute hold a manger got on the phone asked what was going on, once I told her that the food was raw she said "oh" idk how that happened, and said if I live close by and want to go pick 1 skewer of kabob that was under done. If I wanted to go pick up the food then I wouldn't of DoorDashed it in the first place. It would cost me more to drive all the way there to go pick up the 1 skewer. She didn't even offer to replace what I had ordered. She also let me know that she couldn't refund me my money because it was ordered through DoorDash. Lesson learned. Do not order from here.

I come here with my Persian husband and his family for lunch or dinner for special occasions, most recently the other day. While we have always enjoyed the food, yesterday it was absolutely exceptional and the service was top notch as well! My favorite dishes we tried were the eggplant appetizer, hummus appetizer, yogurt cucumber appetizer and the salmon kabobs. My toddler especially enjoyed the salmon, saffron rice, salad and hummus. We also ordered the chicken kabob, beef kabob and much more. Delicious and such an enjoyable restaurant experience. My only tip would be to ask for the chicken kabob to be a bit less thoroughly cooked as it is quite tough/well done when cooked as ordered straight off the menu. I have seen this at many other Persian restaurants too so this is probably the style/way it is supposed to be cooked? (I am not Persian myself, so I do not know) but the grilled tomatoes on the kabob dishes were quite burned/charred/blackened... not my style and I worry about consum
