“Very cool ambiance! The cocktails were well crafted and the food was really flavorful! Only a few cons- the music was a bit loud so sometimes it felt like shouting to have a conversation and it was a bit surprising to only get one taco per serving for the price - but it was a very good taco (the saffron chicken).“

“Swung by on my way home to grab something for lunch. I got one of the best falafel sandwiches I've ever had. Delicious, nice and sour, yet a good savoury flavour, I would happily get this again. They appear to be doing a lot of delivery/take out business so service is going to be dependent on that, but it wasn't unreasonable. My only small complaint is the size of the serving wasn't what I was expecting. It was delicious but could have been a tad bigger to carry over as a full lunch.“

“I have never tried Iranian food, so this was a gamble. Man, am I glad we did. Every dish was amazing. The smoked salmon, sour chicken, and herbed cheese were to die for. Truly, these were flavors I had never tasted and love them. Please try this place.“

“The kabob is delicious, but the rice could be better…. The restaurant was cold, and there was no air conditioner. There is a shared restroom with another restaurant, which is not clean enough.Parking: You should find parking on the street. On my visit, it was not difficult to find.“

“Food was wonderful and plentiful!We sat outside and it seemed like a struggle to get the attention of any server. They were friendly once we were finally able to get their attention, but I feel like it shouldn't be necessary to send someone inside in order to get table service (which we had to do multiple times).“
