The food is so tasty, so affordable, and the portions are insane!! Oh, not to mention the complimentary chai! The owners are very friendly. A lovely place to get together and enjoy a meal and some chai.

The best persian food spot in all of Laguna Hills/Mission Viejo, in my opinion. Love their authentic beef koobideh, ghormeh sabzi, and all their special rices. The bread is delicious too and they always give you plenty. When not eating in, we love to pick up their family special platters, which are affordable and can feed many people. All around a fantastic place!

This is the best persian food I have had in years. My family and I often come here to have unique dishes that are you know, traditional and well made. Portions are generous.
And everything I have had here was absolutely divine. 🙏
