Stopped by tonight. 6 pm. Doors locked. Lights out. No sign. Website indicated open at 1 pm and closed at 9:30
Very much looking forward to your reopening. That’s the best recommendation I can give.
Easy to find location. Personable staff. Delicious food. Fast service. If you come in the door looking for American food, then stop expecting that, but sit down and order the hummus to start.
I take my family to this lovely spot quite often! This is my favorite spot to eat. I go to this spot routinely. The food is excellent, the team is helpful and the price is decent. I like going in this place for a rich dinner.
We ate the jojeh kabob dish. I have had Persian food before in Toronto and in Michigan where we are from. I read the reviews and wanted to give this place a try. I was thoroughly disappointed.
Great authentic Persian food. Wonderful service! Ask your server to recommend the dishes. Everything was great!
We love this place! Cant believe it's not crowded. Great food and reasonable prices. Best kept secret in Louisville! Just bc its Persian dont pass it up! Best lamb chops in town...
Came around 3 pm for a late lunch, and the restaurant was empty but stylish. Server who was setting up for dinner was gracious and welcoming. I over ordered, planning to eat the excess for dinner tonight at the Omni (just 3 blocks down). The Borani appetizer (cold sautéed spinach and onion with yogurt)put me in mind of spinach dip, which I love, and I enjoyed it on the warmed pita wedges. The vegetarian Dolman were square shaped and deliciously tender. My main course was the Vegetable Fesenjoon-- definitely a new flavor profile for me, and that grew on me as I ate more. Served with rice and a vegetable skewer, the fesenjoon was ground walnuts, carmelized onion and pomegranate -- an interesting rich, earthy, sour, but sweet flavor. Good meal, good experience, and very convienient.
I got the chicken kabob and rice which came with a salad and a glass of wine. It was all well prepared, fast and friendly service, nice ambience. I would go back!
hi price & food is trouble, this resturant is not cooking the food right - it is not a Persian dish if you are looking for Persian food, they make the food proir to serving and warm it in microwave. I do not recommand it .

Lovely place, really lovely food, friendly and knowledgeable waiter.
delicious, generous portions of well prepared meals
Here on business. Great service. However, Food is not very good. It’s VERY bland and the veggies taste like they are from the can. If you want fresh ingredients, or never frozen, this isn’t for you. This may be the least flavorful Persian food I’ve ever had. I won’t be back.
Arrived at 8:30 after driving 3 hours to eat and felt unwelcome ( According to the website open until 9:30). After being seated, we were mocked by the Asian server for being Iranian men as well as Iranian women because she says we’re demanding! Ask for a alcoholic drink and was told if we finish by 9. We asked for butter for the rice and kabobs and we were told it has enough. Asked for another kabob and we were told that they have restart the oven!!! Really, the worse Iranian restaurant experience I have had in the USA. The food was just a little better than the service!!! Good luck.
Food was less than average since i tried many other persian restaurants. I was charged $8 just to share a meal although the meal was not split, instead they brought me empty plate for me to do it!!
