Vanak Restaurant catered our event and did an excellent job. The food was delivered on time, beautifully packaged, and incredibly delicious. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and clean. Our guests loved it, and we will definitely be ordering from them again!

We searched for a Persian restaurant to dine at while we were staying in Boston and tried Cafe Vanak. The restaurant was very clean, even the restroom. The staff was friendly, courteous, especially Youcef, and went above and beyond to provide the best dinning experience I have had in years if not decades. Having worked in restaurants I could tell the extra steps they performed to make the dinning experience exception, even if they might not be noticable to the average dinner....

We got the ash reshteh and saffron chicken (with cherry rice). Incredibly authentic Persian food, very warm and hospitable service. Would recommend for Persian food in the Boston metro!
