We were invited to this restaurant. Food was average. I had better Persian food. It was on the blend side. They will spice it up of you tell them.
Service was not up to par. The lady who took our order was confused. Our host repeated it a couple of times. They also mentioned to serve everything on a family platter. However it can as an individual dish. The host was upset as they come here regularly and this was not what they expected for their guest. We assured they it is fine.
The kabob and kubbedieh were very soft and juicy. They also serve extra butter. Kids enjoyed the fried and burger. They said it was good.
They have a nice spot for salah. I wish it was bigger for more people to pray. Us ladies had to wait along time till the guys are done.
Restaurant is very old but clean and taken well care of.

Parking: You have to park on the street next to the restaurant. It is hard to find during peak hours.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access but hard to maneuver inside the restaurant.

Some of the best Persian food around. My wife says their Gormeh Sabzi is the closest to what her grandma used to make that she has found. That is high praise. The look of the place could use some work, but it's not terrible. Service has been decent every time I've gone.

Parking: Small lot in back, street parking in front. I have never had a problem finding parking nearby.

Taste is very average, and the service is the worst. When we asked the waitress to pack the food for takeaway, she brought us disposable containers and plastic bags to do it ourselves.

The food here was totally mediocre, the soup came warm at best. The lamb koobideh was dry the mast moosir was tasteless, salad olivieh was unseasoned and eggy. The bread was store pita and tasted days old. The service was ok as long as you didn’t ask for anything extra.
I hadn’t had Persian food in months and i was so looking forward to it but I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We went to Heidar Baba because it’s close by and we heard good things about it.
The food is good but definitely not great. We got the lamb Soltani. The Koobideh was good but the Barg was kind of tough. Their portions were small compared to other Persian restaurants. The worst part was their service. Our server did not check on us even once. The only time she smiled was when she brought the check back for a tip.
Overall, the food is good and maybe next time we’ll take out.
