My friends, I had two orders for this restaurant a while ago, but unfortunately I am not satisfied with the quality and price at all. He charged more than what he had agreed to. Unfortunately, nearly 60 of my guests did not come. They took the full amount from me and the food for my guests was not enough. Unfortunately, this guy plays with people's eyebrows and always makes less food. Even I had given my guests an entry fee for each person, meaning no extra guests came and I ordered food for 270 people. The guests of the wedding were 210 people and this guy brought less food for 60 people. I also ordered 70 people for the henna party, but this guy brought food for 50 people. I will develop myself. Do not order from this guy because he plays with people's eyebrows and his food quality is also terrible. Thank you.

Got there a little late but they advised us on what dishes can be cooked quickly so we can eat before closing time. Still ended up staying past closing time after getting our food but they let us eat while they were closing up.

Very poor service. It feels like they serve people based on skin color. This restaurant certainly has an attitude problem—if they don’t change, people are going to stop coming!

Very disappointing experience. The food was low quality, poorly prepared, and not worth the price. The service was even worse—our server was rude, inattentive, and seemed bothered by basic requests. We had to ask for water multiple times before it was finally brought out.

What stood out most was the unequal treatment. Other tables received quick, friendly service, while we were consistently ignored. Overall, this place lacks professionalism and hospitality. I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend it.

This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The food was extremely disappointing—overcooked, poorly seasoned, and nowhere near the quality you would expect from a restaurant with this many reviews. Everything felt rushed and careless, as if no one in the kitchen actually cared about what was being served.

The service was equally bad. Our server was unprofessional, unapproachable, and seemed annoyed any time we asked for something. We had to request water multiple times before it was finally brought out, which is basic service that shouldn’t require repeated reminders. Throughout the meal, we were largely ignored, even though the restaurant was not overly busy.

What stood out the most was the clear inconsistency in how customers were treated. Other guests appeared to receive prompt, friendly attention, while we were left waiting and overlooked. The contrast was noticeable enough to make the experience uncomfortable and frustrating.

Overall, this place lacks both quality and hospitality. Between the poor food, the inattentive service, and the overall feeling of being unwelcome, I won’t be returning. I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere if you’re expecting a respectful and enjoyable dining experience.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at this place was extremely disappointing from start to finish. The food was terrible—bland, poorly prepared, and not worth the price at all. Nothing tasted fresh, and the presentation was careless. We left feeling unsatisfied and honestly frustrated that we wasted our time and money here.

The service was even worse than the food. The server had a clear attitude problem and made us feel like we were an inconvenience rather than paying customers. Basic hospitality was completely lacking. We had to ask for water repeatedly, multiple times, before it was finally brought out, which should never be an issue at any restaurant. Even then, it felt like we were being ignored on purpose.

What made the experience especially uncomfortable was the clear difference in how customers were treated. In our experience, the staff appeared to prioritize Caucasian customers, giving them faster service, more attention, and a noticeably friendlier attitude, while we were dismissed and overlooked. Whether intentional or not, that is how it felt, and it left a very bad impression.

A restaurant should make all guests feel welcome and respected. Between the poor food quality, the dismissive and rude service, and the uncomfortable atmosphere, this place failed on every level. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food or decent customer service. There are far better options elsewhere that actually value their customers.

The service and atmosphere was very simple, no frills; the food, however, was exceptional -- well seasoned and fresh.

I ordered the Emperor Platter (Combination/Sampler that offers a great variety)

It comes in two course:
(1) Naan bread, Shirazi salad (light and fresh with a nice cucumber crunch), eggplant burani (very hardy/savory, spice rich), and yogurt (on the side/excluded for nondairy restrictions).

(2) Beef, chicken, and lamb (all well seasoned), stew, tomato, and a very sweet/savory rice (hints of cinnamon, topped with raisins, very balanced flavor profiles).

Seems to be a generous amount of food for the cost. Quaint.

Amazing food !!

the food is very delicious, Tasty And always fresh
The owner is very friendly As usual
The service is not good at all
The Waitress disappeared After she takes the order
They should've put a waitress On the second floor to check on customers;
Or She should check on customers Every 5 to 10 minutes.

Very good food and a reasonable price. Definitely give it a try.
