Nice, warm ambiance. Well cooked and yummy entrees. Portions were huge. I tipped not knowing if the service fee for our group of six was included. Made for an expensive dinner. Server seemed a little flustered.

Food is ok, expensive for what they offer. Kalbas tanoori had like 2 slices of kalbas. Pizza is ok too, but the sausages are cheap sausages. They don't refill waters automatically. Servers are not very excited to serve you and when it is time to pay, they bring the handheld payment device, they stare at you and the device while choosing how much to tip. When asked if I would like my paper receipt, I said yes, but never got one. So in summary, don't expect much from here....

After so many years, I finally had Persian pizza again and wow, I absolutely loved it. The flavors brought back so many memories, and you can really tell it’s made with care.
On top of that, the guy working there was super nice and genuinely helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Great food and great service I’ll definitely be back!
