Had a wonderful lunch here. Never had Persian food. I ordered the Aash stew, lamb biryani, and chai.The stew was wonderful and refreshing. The lamb shank w biryani was fall of the bone. Such magical flavors in the lamb. The chai was such a great addition. Its fresh made not instant. Service was exceptional by the owner and he was so thankful to my compliments. For those whom do not know about Persia, it is a culture in Iran. Do yourself a favor and give the small business a try.

I’ll for sure be coming back! The food was so good, the service was amazing, and the whole vibe just felt really cozy and homely. Our waitress was super sweet and the chef definitely did his thing with the food. Such a nice spot to chill with family over some yummy food and a cup of chai. My partner, mother-in-law, and I had a great time. Highly recommend checking it out!

Came here with my significant other was served microwaved, unseasoned, old food. Fed it to the homeless. They can do something with that. It was also $40 for two meals and a singular water and somehow even though the food is microwaved the table after us got served first. I promise you there are better places when it comes to food and cost wise. please don't waste your time.

I can assure you they serve microwaved food lol. Every time a customer orders something you hear the beep of the microwave and the food warming up. We even had friends who have said the same thing after telling them our experience/not to go there. If you don’t want to admit you sell microwaved food fine, but make sure it taste good at the very least.

We came to this Persian restaurant hoping to explore the culture and try something new and it completely exceeded our expectations. We walked in not knowing exactly what to expect, but what we found was absolute comfort food at its finest. Every dish was rich with flavor and clearly made with care, from the traditional stews to the perfectly grilled meats and fragrant rice.

What made the experience even more special was the service. The owner and staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, taking the time to explain the menu, share the history behind the dishes, and offer amazing recommendations. You could truly feel their pride in the food and the culture.

If you’re looking for an authentic and heartwarming Persian dining experience, this place is a hidden gem. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit.

The lamb was overcooked to the point that it was inedible, and I don’t say that lightly. The tikka masala sauce I ordered on the side was good, and the rice was acceptable. Amusingly, one could hear the beep of the microwave in the kitchen from the dining area; I’m actually not opposed to the use of a microwave in a kitchen, as most do it, but at least disable the beeping to give the illusion that everything is cooked fresh 😉

I ate all the rice, but left the lamb as-is after eating the first couple pieces.
