The food was really good and the service was decent. I was a bit confused about why there was duct tape on the long booth and why the books that the checks came in had torn plastic in them. Those things kind of threw the vibe off, but the food was really tasty. ?

Let's start with positives,Food portions are big. "TahDig" plate is big enough for two adults and the rice side of the kabobs can fill two average adults or three kids. The rice and meat quality is good and well cooked to order. BUT, on a Sunday evening when I ate there, there was just one lady running the whole floor, checking in the customers,getting the orders, servicing the tables and checking out the customers and obviously it's not enough. I ordered a TahDig plate and by the time she brought it to the table it was COLD, the Ghormeh was over cooked, the vegetable was definitely fried for too long as you could taste the burnt veggies and that added a bad taste to its already cold temp. The lamb kabob was very well cooked but the same issue here, by the time the food was brought to the table it was COLD.I'm sure it could be a great experience if the food temperature was in range, but that coldness just brought the weaknesses of cooking to the surface.

This Persian place was. Delight. Lovely place , excellent service , and the food was so good. We can't wait to come back. We had the sampler, shrimp app, sampler plate, and the baklava ice cream dessert. Heaven!!

Sadly, the food lacked any flavor. Had the stews. The Tad Dig was absolutely the worse I've ever had. Flat rice was tastless as was the stew. The Khoreshte Bademjoon was like a lamb shank in water, couldn't find the eggplant. I was hoping for better food

Went with my father-in-law last weekend. Great kabob and the restaurant is nicely decorated with fun pillows in the bench seats! Delicious Persian?

I’m going to keep it simple:I believe the waiter telling a costumer to “shut up” at the table is enough reason for one star, not if for firing him.

Rudest server ever!!!!!We (8 people) waited 25 minutes and no one came to our table. When the waiter finally came I told him that we had been waiting for 25 minutes and no one attended to us! Not even bringing water.He said that he is only one person (which is not acceptable). I told him that I would have left no tip if I had the option and he told me to "shut up"!!!Seriously?? That's when we decided to leave.Never going to this place ever!
