Lovely little cafe tucked away off Duke St. Hummus was among the best I’ve ever had. Falafel too. Relaxed but attentive old-school-style service which means he took our order at the table and brought our food to us too. Seems rare these days, and appreciated. They have outdoor tables under a roof so I can’t wait to go back when it’s warm.

This place was great the outside looks doubtful but inside it's very pretty, and because it shares its restroom location with a spa it was very clean. The service was slow but there was only one guy and his kindness and patience made up for it. The food was great and the atmosphere was calming overall a great restaurant.

My husband and I drove up here from Fayetteville and we will absolutely be making the drive again! A friend of my parents, that I called Uncle, introduced fesenjan to me as a kid. He passed away in 2003, but I have thought of this dish and the good memories associated with it ever since. Today was the first time in 23 years that I have gotten to eat this dish again. It was everything I remember and more, and I cannot wait to come back and bring some friends with us. Thank you!

Very impressed with the Persian food here! The restaurant is a family-run operation that cares deeply about their service and quality of food. My group of 4 felt very welcomed by the hospitality of the family and enjoyed the quality of the food.

Finally made it to dine in at Cafe feridosi after having an amazing experience with them catering our wedding in July. We had the mast khiar, Kotlet, and Joojeh kebab. Everything was delicious! If you haven’t eaten here yet you HAVE to try it!

We have visited Cafe Ferdousi a couple of time and we always had a lovely experience. The food tastes incredibly fresh, and you can really tell they put care into every dish. The customer service is warm, attentive, and makes us feel very welcome from the moment we walk in. It’s a small, cozy café with a charming atmosphere, though the sofa seating is quite low, which might not be the most comfortable for everyone. It’s a bit costly but fair enough for the portion they serve. Overall, it’s a great spot for fresh food and friendly service—I’d definitely recommend stopping by,
And the Best drink is Coffee Glacé, if you love ice coffee with ice cream you should try it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Cafe Ferdosi! We were a party of 4 and shared all of our dishes. We started with the mezze platter and loved it. The falafel was delicious as was the lentil stew and the chicken kebabs. The dishes are layered and subtle, but bursting with flavor. We finished with a selection of desserts that were heavenly. Each of us had a different favorite.
Our server was very attentive and pleasant. He explained each of the items we had questions about.
We're definitely coming back and telling all of our friends.

We ordered Vaziri and Koobide with doogh. Everything was great and fresh, and the portions were very generous. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality.

Café Ferdowsi is a wonderful place — the food was delicious, the atmosphere was nice, and the overall experience was excellent. Highly recommend!

I have now tried this place many times as dine in, delivery, and catering for a small event. The food was perfect every single time. Flavorful tender meats and unique, delicious rice and sides. The Joojeh kabob is my favorite. Omid was very professional and helpful with my catering order via email.

The food was amazing. Enjoyed every bite. That said the service was incredible. The two gentlemen working were both so kind and polite. They were very thoughtful towards our kid and took the time to bring a treat.
