⭐️ My Honest Review:
We visited this restaurant for lunch. The place was quite simple and not as impressive as I expected. There was no live music during lunch hours, in fact, no background music at all, which made the atmosphere feel a bit dull.

I also noticed some pet hair (possibly from a cat or dog) on the table, which was disappointing. The presentation of the food was nice, and the chicken was juicy, but it lacked flavor. None of us finished our meals.

The salad dressing didn’t go well with kebab and rice, it tasted more like something for pizza. I was hoping for some delicious grilled vegetables, but unfortunately, they weren’t included.

The restaurant was nicely decorated for Halloween, which was a pleasant touch. However, the prices were quite high compared to the overall experience.

On the positive side, the mast-o-mosir and doogh were tasty. I really hope the management pays more attention to food quality and cleanliness in the dining area. Next time I crave Persian or Mediterranean food, I’ll probably try a different restaurant.

food quality is hit and miss, sometimes great and less often not so good, place looks nice / portions are large / plating is ornate / prices are competitive, the servers are not the brightest and will forget your orders but they are so humble it makes up for it, you will have a good time, try to enjoy your meal...

My number one choice would be the Albaloo polo with chiken (sour cherry rice) here. The best I had in California and America! I ordered kebab Barg and they made it to my liking which is usually not the case half of the time in other restaurants. Mast moosir (garlic yogurt) was so delicious too.

I usually don’t leave negative reviews, but my recent experience left me no choice. While eating rice, I unfortunately found a hair in my food. It was disgusting, and I had to take the hair out of my mouth while chewing.

When I calmly showed it to the staff, instead of offering a sincere apology, they insisted it wasn’t theirs. Later, someone did say “sorry,” but during checkout the same person claimed the hair wasn’t there and acted as if I had made it up. This attitude was extremely disappointing and completely unacceptable.

Finding hair in food is already disgusting, but being treated as if I fabricated the issue made the experience much worse. A professional response would have been to take responsibility, apologize sincerely, and handle the situation properly. Instead, the staff’s behavior turned an unpleasant incident into an offensive one.

On top of this, the food quality itself was poor. Because of this experience, I will not be returning to this restaurant.

I’ve witnessed the owners’ dog entering the back of the kitchen. They also serves alcohol. Despite claiming that their menu is halal, I strongly advise against dining here if you prioritize halal cuisine. In my opinion, it falls short of meeting the standard of halal, and the honesty of their claims is questionable at best.
