“Very few places are as "on task" as these guys. If you're looking for executable innovation this might be your place.“

“This little Persian gem is hands-down my favorite takeout spot in town. Everything feels genuinely homemade – no shortcuts, just bold, authentic flavors that transport you straight to Tehran. The portions are huge, the prices are reasonable, and even on busy nights the orders come out fast, hot, and perfectly packed. Whether I’m grabbing dinner for myself or feeding a crowd, they never disappoint.
The standouts are the tahchin (that golden, crispy tahdig layered with fragrant saffron rice and tender chicken is pure magic), the homemade kabobs, and the kashke bademjan – smoky roasted eggplant with that tangy whey topping that I dream about. They also do amazing catering; every time I’ve ordered platters for parties, guests rave about the food all night. If you love real Persian cuisine, do yourself a favor and try this place – you’ll be hooked after the first bite!“

“Been coming here for years for lunch with co-workers. Come here once in a while with my wife for dinner. The place had a kind of Parisian bistro atmosphere in the evenings. There are many Persian delights on the menu, but I come for the Fesengen. Service is always friendly and excellent. Sometimes I call it in and pick it up on my way home to eat at home.“

Mr. Morteza, the manager, is exceptionally kind and attentive. He takes the time to care for guests, offering thoughtful recommendations and explaining the ingredients and flavors with genuine passion.

Highly recommended. Once you try it, you will likely become a regular—just like I did.“
