⭐️ 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...
October 2025
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...
October 2025
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.
