Authentic food and friendly customer service. Sarah was so helpful and very friendly made me feel like I was at home. I highly recommend everyone trying this place out if they want to experience authentic middle eastern food!

Very solid mediterranean spot if you’re craving something refreshing and hearty at the same time. This place hits all the notes, every ingredient tasted as fresh as can be, and the great part about Persian mediterranean food is how the meat is prepared. There’s no masking any of the flavors with an abundance of spice, just cooked to perfection, tender, and well worth the wait. Will be returning here.

The food here was really really good!
The menu is kebabs like the name of the business says but the thing that’s not clear when you drive up is that it is Persian food but it’s very clear on the menu which was great surprise it was happy to find this place because I’ve been wanting to try more Persian food.
The service was excellent, very friendly staff.
The only downside was that there is only outside seating and it was a bit...
