I do not recommend eating here. I hope the health department inspects his food handling and food storage practices.
I'm really torn and considered not leaving a review at all. The owner is an elderly man who is very nice and kind but there was a serious problem with the kabob koobideh (ground beef kabob) and he did not believe us and did nothing to correct it. And charged us full price.
Initially, we really enjoyed the experience and his friendly nature. We were with three people: myself, my girlfriend and my son. I got the Jujeh kabob (Cornish hen) and it was delicious. My girlfriend got the gheimeh (split pea stew) and the favors were good but it didn't taste like it was freshly made.... maybe a few days ago. The real problem was with the simplest dish: kabob koobideh. After my son found two hairs in the rice he refused to eat it. I gave him my jujeh kabob instead. When we tried eating his koobideh kabob, it tasted really bad. The meat smelled rotten, and the texture was not good either. I've eaten kabob my whole life. I know kabob. This was awful. None of us could eat it. I tried some of the 2nd skewer (in case only one of them had been poorly cooked) but it also smelled bad.
I went up to the owner (privately) and explained it to him and he asked me to wait. He went to the kitchen and returned with a 10 or 20 pound package of frozen meat to show me it was halal and the best quality. He said everyone loves his kabob. He did not want to believe that his food was bad.
We then observed he doesn't use gloves when handling food. We also noticed he carefully collected the un-eaten bread from another table after the customers had left and we're not sure why.
In the end he pulled up my bill and he charged for all items including the koobideh that was not eaten (and that had hair in the rice that came with it). He asked me if everything was correct on the bill. I was shocked he didn't offer to remove the charge and I agreed and paid him. I feel like a fool for not telling him to take the charge off. I think someone who truly cared about his customers would have done that.

Very nice place. Clean, service and food were fresh and simple. Must visit if it’s on the way for fresh food. Also price is also affordable compared to food amount.

Good food, relatively, kubideh skewers did not disappoint. Gormeh Sabzi Tadigh was poorly constructed though as it softened the tahdig into practically mush by the hours end. Atmosphere is okay, not a fancy restaurant seating by any means but it doesn’t matter as the two gentlemen working there were extremely nice and treated me like family so that’s a win in my book!

Amazing food. Definitely worth it.

Humble, comforting, and delectably homey, the soltani entree at the Soltani lives up to its name. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place that is filling, healthy, and scrumptious. Perfect for two people.

Awesome food and owner is super nice!

Mohammad was such a kind owner and made my dinner experience so great. I got the marinated chicken and cranberry rice, and the meat was very well seasoned. I was checked up on just the right amount, and really enjoyed eating here

I was so excited about coming over here as per the comments but this was absolutely disgusting. The tadig was a joke and the food was the worst persian food I ever had. I definitely do not recommend this place.
If you’re looking for the best Persian food, Soltani Restaurant is the place to be! The dishes are not only authentic and bursting with flavor but also made with such care that you can taste the quality in every bite. Everything is fresh, healthy, and absolutely delicious. The owner is an incredible person—kind, welcoming, and passionate about his food and customers. Dining here feels like being welcomed into a family home. Hands down, this is my go-to spot for Persian cuisine. Highly recommend it to everyone!

Food is awesome. A little pricey but worth it. I also enjoyed the company of Mr Muhammad, the owner, who told me his very interesting life story.
